    but one of my mates has and he can't believe the crowd on daughter, betterman and black. Proud to say I was a part of it. Pats on backs all round for all who sang they're hearts out at the gig. And boys are back in town was a nice touch as well.

    I've JUST started listening to the bootleg....crowd is clapping along to the Inside Job intro and it sounds GREAT!

    The sound quality is amazing too! Best sounding boot yet i think!

    I couldn't believe how loud we were on Betterman - I was sooo proud to be part of it. Then when we pretty much showed Eddie how to sing It's Okay...:D

    And the fact that we forced PJ to extend Black by about 30 seconds cos we wouldn't stop singing...

    I still get goosebumps just typing it, never mind listening to it...

    Just how easy/hard is it to breathe in the first couple of rows?

    Depends how big you are :)

    I was able to breathe fine, because I could plant my feet on the ground and keep a little bit of space between myself and the barrier.

    Dublin was fine in comparison to Antwerp... There was no barrier in Antwerp, so I had the whole floor (about 6 or 7,000 people probably) pushing me against the barrier..

    lol, you damn right! But i gotta move back if it's too squashed. A front-row view isn't worth sacrificing my breathing!

    Well as strong as my love for PJ is, i value my breathing a tad more! I want to enjoy the show instead of spending the whole time fighting for air!

    You're better in the front than in row 3 or 4, say... At least there's air to breathe in front of you :)

    True. It's doubtful i'll make it to the front though, so im hoping for anything up to tenth row.
