    i had an amazing time!! i prefer to position myself a little further back so i have space to dance and jump about without bothering anyone else. we were stood right by the bar on the left hand side as you looked at the stage... at the bar was the best steward in the world!! he was proper lovin it and got a brill video with him jumping about like loons to Even Flow!! one thing i was suprised about was how many people walked past us on their way to the bar that weren't singing or having a laugh, dance etc... maybe they were partying inside!! ;-D

    but anyhoo... as always PJ didn't let me down!! can't wait for the next tour!!

    PJ rock my world!! xxx

    Not bad at all given tickets were £80 and people were expecting it to be empty.

    Those that skipped it because it was in MK and not London must be kicking themselves because it was an awesome show!

    (during the instrumental outro/jam Ed makes a passionate plea and angry demand that people stop fighting in and supporting wars. He is angry that on a beautiful evening like tonight that not that far away people are dropping bombs on children)

    Ed starts talking at about 4:10 into this video:

    Funny, just going back to that Facebook page. I posted on the 15th July -

    Keith Priestley You do realise he never mentioned Israel, or indeed any other nation, creed or religion ? Before you deem someone uninformed, or jump on a band wagon, maybe you should actually listen to what was said ? The comments could easily relate to any cross border conflict anywhere in the world.

    Not a single flame back from the forum. I can only hope that some people realised Ed was not anti Israel, just anti war.
    Anyways....... bring on the bootlegs !

    Loved it, was stood near the back and the sound was great. Was my fourth time seeing pearl jam and love outside shows. Arrived at 2 and had a cool beer and chilled out , off! were brilliant and refreshing , got myself a bottle of wine and enjoyed black rebel motorcycle club, always been a fan and set up the main act really well. The atmosphere was amazing and pendulum started the show brilliantly. Great to hear wash and black early on, brain of j was a highlight , it was an emotional journey, sirens, hail hail, mikes brilliant guitar on nothing as it seems, new songs sound great live, my brothers first show and recently coming through a cancer scare , alive had great significance never seen him sing before and he sang it with amazing passion. A night we'll always remember and life affirming to be surrounded by so many like minded people. Thanks pearl jam, the best gig I've been to...

    Haven't read all the comments, sorry!

    What a day though... and what a night!!

    The queueing business still a pain. The "OK, we're not allowed to number but I got here at 6.14, when did you get here?"... If you get there, get in line, if it's going to be too long queueing then it's too early to get there! I got there at 8.15 prepared to stand in line. That's what queueing is, it is not sleeping in your tent, or going off for a shower! When I was asked what time I got there I answered "I don't care, I'm here now and this is where I'm staying", when people arrived and asked if I was in the queue I said yes, a line formed :)
    Please please... when we arrive, form a line, get to know your neighbours, tag team for the loo/drinks... It's not difficult!

    The gig.... Amazing from the OFF! or before when Eddie came out and played Porch (haha to those who said they were only coming to see PJ!)

    We were Mike side, got on the rail from when we were let in and stayed there... Met up with friends we'd made in Manchester 2012, briefly saw our PJ friends from Amsterdam (who sold us their Manchester tickets 2 years ago and who I will be eternally grateful to!). Same as the queue though, you want to be on the rail, you put the effort in! Even lil Lucy who was stood next to me managed it at 12! We were probably too far over for any of the real mosh issues but that's where we always go and never have probs.

    The setlist... I go with no expectations, I'm never disappointed! Wash stands out, or does it? The whole set was bloody brilliant! Love Eddie's anecdotes, chit chat, passions! Loved Mike's interaction, felt I saw more of Jeff this time too although that could be the stage?

    Hell, I want to relive that day/night!!! The music, the emotions.... bring on the bootleg!

    Now, did I hear they are only playing 2 festivals in Europe next year? Any bets on Glastonbury being 1? and if so any bets on my chances of getting tickets as easily as I did this year??!!

    I can't remember... Somewhere during the tour?
    I'll see if I can find something more concrete!

    I think they'll probably do another European tour next year. It's been a while since they've done consecutive years over here. That and a South American tour to see Lightning Bolt off, I'd imagine.

    Hope it's true. I'd love to see them headline Download and with Foo Fighters having also covered Milton Keynes and Reading festival for their last tour... well that could be very awesome. Plus a couple of Wembley/02 dates of course.

    Is Glastonbury's having a year off in 2015?- the cows must need a bit of shut-eye :)

    Glastonbury only just had a year off in 2012 so I would expect not.

    I really don't want them to play Glastonbury. Or any festival.

    They should just do what they did last month.

    I totaly agree that. Please, don't play a festival tour next time when they come to europe. They have to do again "An evening with PJ" gigs and play 2.5 + hours!

    It was in the Guardian last month that there will be a break in 2017 and that 2020 will be the last one. EVER!

    Anybody from Europe coming to the fall US tour? I'm going to both ACL shows and would love to pick the brain of any Europeans for a few random questions for a project I am working on. This dumb American is trying to learn about the pop culture/sports scene in Europe. I'll buy the beers and Texas BBQ if you are coming to Austin in October. Inbox me if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions. Thanks.
