i should add that ozpjman's wonderfully enthusiastic review was more in keeping with my owen personal joy and feeling than my own slightly grumpy ramblings above. Just would have loved a little No Code and Binaural, maybe a Brain of J and a sneaky little Pilate or Faithful - maybe a Not For You, maybe a Last Kiss, because i love this stuff more than the main stuff AND I'M GREEDY! Sorry.

It was great when Eddie forget the Grievance line and apologised, the Even Flow solos and vibe were awesome, Rockin was ridiculously intense by the end! It was sweet - i dont mean to whine. I JUST WANT MORE AND I CAN't HAVE IT!!!!!! ARAAAAAAARGH@!!!!!!!!

I'm sure everyone that goes to PJ concerts could name songs that they wished had been played...and that will always be with a band that has such a huge amount of songs....sadly they can't play them all.....could you imagine that concert!!!

True true i know - but still think a total of 1 song from NC,Bin,RA and just 2 each from Vit, and Yield is a little (just a little) disappointing when i've flown in from a different country!! Honestly it was great though, just great to see em. I just wish i was stayin' tomorrow night!

Hmmmm, well you're no help, r u! hehehe! I'm sure I'll find something, just thought I'd ask in case you knew of somewhere.....just don't fancy driving all the way back to Dwellingup after the show...might crash at my brothers...he's up your way.....only 18 more sleeps!!! probably 17, really, as I doubt I'll be able to sleep the night before.....and if/when we get daylight savings, that'll bring us another 2 hours closer!!!! LOL!! YAY!

innane

i was kinda fearing the crowd would be dead for the participation bits........and i have to say while the crowd was energised and singing along and doing alot of singing, were still not fucken doing our part like europe and america, south america, canada....and its shitting me.......

i noticed

one....no YEAHS during alive solo
two...no DO DO DO DO DO during black outro
three.. Even flow last chorus ed gave it to us but took it back at "some day yet.. cause we sounded like we were singing silent night for christmas...(lol actually nah it was pretty decent, but not heaps heaps loud)

are there just too many casual fans in Australia??
however whats weird is ive never heard a boot from Boston, or Europe where the crowd sings PLEASE DONT GO ON ME....however from where i was the whole crowd was singing the chorus.....kudos also for Black standard participations "im spinning/drop away...", that was nailed, also why go was solid singin, nothing man was also solid in the singalong....which is strange, the usual particpation bits are missed however parts of songs, such as nothingman, that dont usually get sung along to were sung........ahhhh so frustrating.......

anyone care to comment who was at the show? maybe my hearing was muffled and i didnt hear the actual crowd

locked

Cheers to all you Aussies for getting an incredible night #1 from a long time fan from Boston (Seattle East)...

Can't wait to get these boots..!

PS: I'm on a "Tremor Christ" watch ...

it could happen!

Anyone still awake??? I need some help regarding Bootlegs. Haven't bought any since the 2003 tour and just went to pre-order and now there's 2 choices -MP3 and FLAC....now I know I'm showing my age here, but can someone tell me the diff or whats the best to get?
Hope someone's there to help me soon. Ta!

tschoess

Check out the customer service button on the left top of the site where you purchase the boots - explains everything.

Short version - flac are better quality and the files are a lot bigger.

Oh dear :( You can please some of the people some of the time, but never all of the people all of the time. I think our boys do a pretty good job pleasing most of the people all of the time.

I think the crowd was quite good. That was my third time at a "First Sydney Show".

I would rate it up there. Close to if not better than the 98 crowd.

Pearl Jam were playing very tight, and Ed's Voice was in very good form. We are in for one hell of a Tour.

Glad I held off buying tickets to the 18th GIG... they had half price flyers in all the seats which entitles you to half price tickets!

Looks like Mr Coppel underestimated how many tickets he could sell. And didnt want an empty acer arena for the third gig.

Looking forward to tonight

This band is incredible. Every show seems to be better than the last. The set list apeared to be a good warm up for the tour (lots of classics, up tempo material). I guess I expected it for the first night in Oz. I bet as the tour progresses we will start to see the songs that will make all the die hards happy. The band was on fire. Played as well I have ever seen. We were 6th row on the floor, center and the 10C section was rockin'. Don't know about the rest of the crowd (was too focused on the band). However, in my experience Sydney rock crowds are pretty ordinary. If PJ got them up and jumping, that is a good sign. I am hoping show #3 will be all the die hards and will be the best in Sydney.

Looking forward to show #2 tonight.

I love this band.
