Can't seem to do quotes right on my phone.

Anyway, while Mike did chuck in at least two Zeppelin moments, Jimmy Page wasn't happening.

I was at Wembley when Page guested with Foo Fighters and I remember how much gear he had and how long it took to set up.

The complete opposite of your usual PJ guest who just plays Eddie's guitar rig.

Loved it when the band turned around and played to the balcony behind them. Wonderful effort by Eddie. I said he sounded better than the last tour, then he goes and tells everyone he is seeing Dr' about his throat! Amazing. Great joke at Liam Gallaghers expense... downer was the lack of decent gig t shirts & a poster shortage. As my trip took 2x longer than it should have, missed the early entry & missed the damn posters! Maybe should be able to pre order them through Ten Club when you buy gig tickets through the club? Pretty please...

After 3 shows I can say that this has been the worst tour so far

I would have been struggling not to stare at Page all night and watch him watching the band. One of my all time favorite musicians... so cool.

I agree however that’s coming from someone sitting on their couch so I can’t judge. Plus with eV being pretty sick I guess shorter shows makes sense. I guess it only matters for the people who were there. Were u at any shows?

Sorry you feel that way, why do you think that?

Pretty vague assessment that will obviously make everyone ask why so why not just say?

Are the days of 30 plus songs over???

Eddie was struggling big time with his voice which made the set list interesting.  Every song was either an easy one to sing or one where the crowd did the singing.

Did you get the sense that his voice troubles were related to an illness?

Yes he said so. It could be nodules on his vocal chords or just a nasty infection. Ed certainly needed a break several times but he still sounded amazing.

Nodules on the vocal cords sound like bad news! Hopefully it's just an infection that will clear up quickly.

Just here to say "who the hell is Blind Willie Dixon"?

Yes, and the days of better played songs introduced

nice setlist.

It's too bad Eddie was sick, this is my favourite setlist of the tour thus far.

Funkez

Awesome setlist! Seems Eddie was on fire - and comfortably drunk

This is just wrong. I cannot see where you have dug this up.  Have you been to all 3 so far.
What is it you are looking for?.
It's been fuckin awesome.

Why I love this band - last night was show 20 for me and I got to see Of the Girl, Parting Ways, and You Are for the first time, which all sounded incredible!  I'm wondering how they'll top that setlist tonight. 

For those reading and worried about Ed's voice, he sounded great on the majority (IMO) but was struggling more towards the end on songs like MYM and Can't Deny Me.  I hope he does himself a favour tonight by not choosing those hard to sing songs!

Roll on tonight!

First ever PJ gig tonight. Wow.

Excellent. And so it begins. You will never be the same.

Have truer words ever been spoken?

I was front row on the side of the stage, which is almost backstage. 

Ed's voice for the first slow songs was absolutely immense so deep and strong, but as soon as Animal kicked in, I knew something was not right, I thought it was the sound at first and then saw him looking at Mike and shrugging. 

On the hard (animal, MYM) songs, his voice could not cope. But this did not ruin the show, in fact the opposite for me. Due to his voice I think I saw songs I never thought I would see and his voice on these were immense. He also managed to sing a wonderful Black and Alive. Can' Deny was a struggle and he asked Mike to help. During Black he went to the very back of the stage and was curled up for a good minute or so, looked like he was trying to be sick. By the time Rockin came on he could barely speak let alone sing. 

I honestly believe most other singers would have cancelled or at the very least cut the set massively. I am so grateful to this band and Ed for putting it all on the line for us. 

Any other band and I would be sure the second night would be cancelled and I still think that is possible, but knowing this band they will come out and surprise me again. 

Thanks Ed, thanks PJ you have given me another night I will never forget.
