So its been and gone, woke up this morning wondering if I dreamt it all... anyway, what did everybody like most?
I'll go for Severed Hand, Unemployable (Woooah-eh-ooooh) and that fucking astounding Why Go: my favourite hard PJ song!
Elderly woman and Betterman were gorgeous, so was.... hell, it was ALL brilliant.
Your personal highlights, please?

    I'd go for Betterman, Alive as the show-closer, and to be graced by the presence of not just Pearl Jam but also the rock overlord that is Robert Plant.

    Given to fly, the way the crowds jumps rose with the music, from a little bit of bouncing to full out jumping at the peak of the Chorus. Also Alive as a closer and Eddies energy at end, he wanted to carry on, thats why he was the last to leave.
    My body is a temple come kneel at my prayer mat.

    I think present tense and porch was the best bit of the gig. But alive was insane aswell!

    being able to shake the hand of the man himself, almost made up for not getting in to the gig, being able to hear the soundcheck from the road was painful tho

    Present tense: Eddie stopped singing and just stood watching the crowd, while we sang our little hearts out. Magic.
    Also the comment about the queen at the end.

    Do The Evolution and Comatose for me

    my calf muscles are sore from extreme pogo-ing :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    One of the best nights of my life.

    The noise from the crowd when they decided to play another song after the normal show stopper Yellow Ledbetter was deafening (literally), and to top that, when they then started playing Alive, you couldn't breath, the air was moving that much.

    I think we did briefly meet. Did you have a green T-shirt. I've got long hair, was wearing jeans and a strappy t-shirt. Got two tatoos - one between shoulder blades and one on shoulder - polynesian type. May jog your memory (if you had the green t-shirt)!
