    ...enjoyed it so much I went out & bought all the albums(re-buying some of them I'd got rid of years previously not having listened to them in a long time) & joined the fan club the next day, & almost 4 years later I'm about to go on my 4th international PJ touring trip! :o :shock: :D

    I already loved them but just had never made a live show.

    It took about two songs to realize that they perform live like no one else.

    ...was too young and too much of a smelly metal head to truly appreciate it.
    I loved it though
    Took another 10 years for me to realize how special they are live.

    Oceans was the first song I heard them play so not all bad.

    was in the last row of the upper bowl, halfway behind the stage (on a tour with no behind the stage seating). Was probably the last seat sold, worst seat. Still amazing.

    .....forgot it was a UK bank holiday and returned to London Victoria train station to discover it was closed at that time of night and had to shell out nearly £100 on a taxi home. Was not impressed but it was so worth it.

    this.

    [1.15.95 DAR Hall, DC. 15th birthday, to the day. 100 post cards sent to 10c to win tickets in a lottery.]

    I was there by myself.
    They opened with Release
    and I had full body goosebumps,
    a shivering spine,
    and tears welling at the corners of my eyes.
    *I felt like i was having my first true religious experience*
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    :lol: maybe all of our hearing has suffered over the years! Actually, yes it was freakin loud but any damage I suffered is likely the result of the (tiny) size of the room and my proximity to the speakers :shock:
