Thought I'd start a thread for all the PJ fans out there who've had to wait for a long long time to get to see they're heroes in concert. I'll start off with my story.

Growing up in Malaysia and listening to PJ during the 90s was brilliant but for one small point. They never, ever, came anywhere near there. The closest they came was Singapore in 1995. Unfortunately, I had to have one of the most important exams of my life on the day. So as you can see, it didn't work out. They've never come back since and I don't really have hopes that they ever will. That's why I moved to Europe. Well, it's not really the reason but you get my point. Unfortunately, by the time I got to Europe, they were nowhere to be seen on these shores. Then one day, they decided to come back!! Hoooray! Since then, I have seen them 3 times and hoping for a fourth which is looking increasingly unlikely at the minute. But hopefully there will be many more shows to come.

And thats my story. Would love to hear all you stories as well.

    I started to listen to them in November 1992 when my sister gave me Ten. We were living in different parts of Wisconsin at that time. The first time I saw them was in Seattle in Feb or March 1995, and my twin saw them with me. We were both living in different parts of Washington. Now, we both live in different parts of Maryland. I guess I should take her to a show, eh? Actually, the next show around here, I'll probably take her oldest daughter.

  • a family who all love PJ. That's fantastic. Can't believe everyone gets together for PJ. But good on you.
