I shall be getting it as soon as it's available.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to say - this is the fourth time I have seen PJ (first time being their first ever tour of NZ back in the 90's) and this is by far the best.
I'd go so far as to say it was the best stadium concert I have ever been to - and I have been to A LOT of stadium concerts in the several decades I have been on this earth.
I am not ashamed to say, when they started playing Release, I wailed along, whilst simultaneously streaming tears like a baby. It was joyous.
The crowd was amazing for a second show, in a large stadium, with a cost of living crisis and an ageing fanbase. Energy was high, people were in bouyant moods and the vibe was so good.
I'm knackered today - I didn't get home until after midnight on a Sunday night, and I am so glad I work from home.
If they were playing again here next week, I'd go.
I took my wife and two teen boys (18 & 19) and they all had a blast - I'm the only real "Superfan", but they are all fans in one way or another and they all had a blast. My oldest son, who is a real music guy, said it's the best gig hes ever been to.
Massive highlights for me last night were:
- Waiting for Stevie
- Release
- Black
- RITFW
- Mind Your Manners
- Animal
Mike McCready...you are the living emodiment of a Rock God. I could listen to your solos all night.Dark Matter tracks are fantastic - Upper Hand, Stevie and a magnificent Smile top 3 for me
So good!
Crowd loved it, too, which was awesome.
