    As others have said, a very different show from Leeds but awesome in its own way. Lots of up tempo songs, particularly near the beginning starting with Go got everyone moving. Footsteps and Chloe/Crown were beautiful calming contrasts to the faster songs.

    I was really surprised and pleased to hear spin the black circle too. Yellow moon and the moon itself were both beautiful. Lovely night, great crowd, great start to my birthday :)

    I was more excited about tonight than a kid at Christmas. I grew up less than 800 meters from the MK Bowl, and would listen, as a kid, to the likes of Queen, Bowie, U2 and Genesis play on that stage, from my bedroom window when I should have been sleeping. My first ever gig was Michael Jackson at the Bowl. Since then I've seen, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Green Day, Black Sabbath, Eminem, Robbie Williams and Oasis on that stage.

    But tonight, was the night I got to see the band I LOVE more than anything not living, play on THAT stage, and they played so well. I'm a 42 year old man, feeling like that 8 year old all over again.

    I can't sleep, I'm so pumped.

    If Leeds was a cup final in which your team won, this was the regular season game in which something very magical and special happened that will never be forgotten by those who where there.

    Sad to say this one didn't quite go my way. Was positioned next to a lot of people that were interested in doing nothing but pushing each other with oblivious, empty smiles on their faces. I like moshing, but it has to be with people that are connected with the music and considerate of those around them. These guys were just having a macho 'who can push harder' contest and it slightly hampered the first half of the show for me.

    It was a shame because the first set was something of a dream for me. I love PJ's heavier, faster songs and this was running the gamut of them. And I did enjoy it a lot, but you also know you're not enjoyed Brain of J as much as you should, which is a real shame when you're hearing it for the first time. The band themselves were TEARING it up. Saved it by moving back in the first encore and having a great time enjoying the mellower second half. Crown of Thorns was mind blowing, Blood was seminal, and Ed's thundering lamentation of war was the highlight of the night.

    And Off! were awesome.
    "Hey Eddie, great show-- fuck you!"

    Can someone who was there elaborate on "Believe You Me"? Did they only play one verse tagged at the end of Crown, or did they play they whole song?

    It was one verse. It wasn't really a tag on Chloe, it lead more into Betterman as it was just Ed lit up playing guitar and singing the first verse and then immediately he starts Betterman, which is again just him lit up and the crowd singing until all the band join in.

    Fantastic gig. High energy and lots of really cool highlights. It wasn't quite as good as Leeds or Stockholm this year for me, but still one of the best shows I've seen. They've really notched it up a gear.

    Help, Help - that's an error in the relay. They didn't play it.

    Wow. I really was not expecting such a good setlist and more a festival type. Boy was I wrong.

    Wash was incredible. Chloe a massive highlight. Nothing as it seems awesome. Saw spin the black for first time after 12 shows. But highlight for me was believe you me just sooo shocked he played it. Sounded so good.
    Now it all comes down to numbers, now I'm glad that I have quit
    Folks these days just don't do nothing simple for the love of it

    Mike was absolutely on it throughout, can't wait to hear it again on the bootleg! Thought the use of all the cameras in interesting places was a great touch, especially the one by Mike's wah pedal, not so sure about all the crotch shots of Jeff as he occasionally lunged over his camera though! :-)

    A whole 45 minutes actually! Pretty got much most of the two albums in there with that.

    Wow. I could only afford Leeds this tour but I wasn't too bothered about missing MK. I expected it to be just a festival set. Amazing! Sorry I missed it now!

    Backspacer has really fallen out of favour, it seems. Only 1 song from the 2 UK shows. Nice to see the neglected albums come back into favour a bit.

    Venue security and pj security did a great job helping people and taking out crowdsufers.

    It's sad to see so many girls taken out crying and some vomiting or on stretchers.

    Just think on another pit configuration. Italy was great.

    This is spot on. In a weird way it's a relief to hear it was happening on Stone's side too because it was the exact same case on the Mike side and I was worried it was letting basically the whole audience down.

    Pearl Jam had to show a LOT of trust in the audience after Go, where you could basically see the alarm bells go off in Eddie just seconds into the song. To be honest they probably didn't help themselves by playing a string of about 7 or 8 really fast songs in a row. As I said earlier, I went back after the first set and was very relieved to find the crowd being much more in tune there. There was a kid that couldn't have been more than 6 years old on his Dad's shoulders for the whole show having a great time.

    I like heavy gigs. The weekend before this I saw both Black Sabbath and Metallica. Moshing is a part of that experience, especially with the latter, but its with fans that respect those around them, and are moving in time with the music, looking out for each other and respecting the people around them that don't want to be involved with that stuff. It's a very difficult thing to balance. All it takes its one muscle-bound moron that thinks that all mosh pits are is an excuse to hurt people to turn an organised, safe and FUN mosh pit into a slippery mess that has the entire crowd swaying too and fro trying to find their footing.

    I honestly thought Ed's War speech was directed at some of the crowd for the first part of it, especially the 'there are some people out there that just want to kill' bit.

    It was a dream setlist, for me, but not a dream crowd.

    Fantastic set list, but it was the great crowd at Leeds that made it a mark up.

    That aside, this was my fifth show and I saw a whopping 7 new songs I think.

    Most excited with nothing as it seems, wash, spin, lukin, brain of J and the full version of Chloe dancer / crown of thorns which was not really appreciated by the drunk kids around me and the stupid woman who folded her arms and said she didn't know it and it was boring.

    That set was wasted on the some of those folks, but all in all it was the second best show I have seen in the UK, after Leeds.

    It was a great show. Particularly liked the really heavy section around a third of the way into the show with Comatose, Save You, Brain of J etc. Was also delighted to hear Jeremy live for the first time (this was my sixth show) and to hear fan favourite Crown of Thorns again.

    Can't comment about the crowd - I stood near the back with my pregnant wife and all the fans there were really friendly.

    It would have been great to have heard a few more rarities, but overall was a good set list. Shame about the car park at the end.

    Let's hope they return to the UK next year - would love for them to play more over here
