    I think I need to make sure I'm around some fellow 10c nerds for the next three shows. Last night was wonderful, but of course I'm always at odds with the folk near me who only wanna hear the usual hits. I was getting super hyped for In My Tree and Inside Job and everyone else was looking at me weird or using that moment to catch up on current events. Same thing happened when we got Red Mosquito in Christchurch in '09. Still though, I can't complain, especially when I'm going to three more.

    I loved how much the band seemed to be enjoying it together. I saw them laughing a lot with each other at certain parts.

    Anyone heading to the Forum tonight for Dropkick Murphys + Alkaline Trio? If not, I'll see y'all tomorrow (and Thursday and Saturday).
    It was so awesome to hear inside job and in my tree live.

    Eddie is such a good performer. He sings and jumps around like a 30 year old. Not one bad song all night. It was so good. The stadium is quite big but, idk, it felt intimate at the same time. I’ve only seen them live once in my life but if they clicked like this every night then theyre just an amazing band.

    It was weird but I guess not unexpected seeing everyone losing their shit for the old songs like Jeremy but not caring about the new ones at all. Tbh, I was really getting into the songs I never used to care for. My favourite of the night was Just Breathe. I never really liked that song until I saw it live last night.

    Unfortunately I was sitting next an obese guy whose fat arse took up his seat and half of mine so I was basically stuck to him. I wish to god people in the seats stood up so I didn’t have to deal with that shit but everyone stayed seated. Oh well, at least I could see the stage.

    I cant believe after all these years these guys just continue to deliver at the highest level.


    Lining up all day was so hard, but surrounded by awesome people and listening to their stories. Pearl Jam fans amaze me. They really do look after each other. 


    Arrived at 9.06. About 100 people in front. That turned into what felt like  400 by the time show time hit, with people saving spots. People told they’d be moved away if they were lining up before 9. But people camped overnight and many other started lining up  from 6am. Cudos to them. I got to speak to a number and they were dedicated fans with great stories. 


    Shout out to marvel and the red frog crew. They were champions moving us into air con early and then the sun cream, water and red frogs were awesome. It stopped me from turning into a red frog.


    The show. 

    Well, Why Go kicked arse, but for my 8th show, it’s now opened 3 of them. So I was a little disappointed but they delivered.

     

    Loved, in my tree and Garden was great too. Sadly, some young girl was unconscious and being pulled over our shoulders during it. I hope she is ok. It shook everyone up. That took away from the song. But the poor girl did not look in a good way.


    All the hits were great and dark matter plays well live.


    The ending was epic, DTE, better man, solat, Alive, RITFW and Ledbetter was just in party mode.


    Eddie sounded brilliant and Mike, well Mike is fucking brilliant. 


    I’m looking forward to the two Sydney shows.

    I didn’t think it could get much better than GC on Wednesday night but holy crap that was so good. The GC set list was a little better (just) but the Melbourne crowd was something else and you could tell the band was genuinely blown away. Ed was handing out tambourines like candy in RITFW. Can’t wait for what tonight will bring.

    Thanks. Damn, I should have got one of these far earlier. Selling for like $500-700 on eBay. I thought there would be an official one that you could easily buy.

    10 club will sell them. Likely early 2025. Be alert. May not last long. Who knows.

    I was seated at the front of section 38, level 1. Loved my spot and happy to be seated. In my section of the row there was a mixture of ages from 17 to 55. Seven strangers discussed what made us all love PJ. It was a hot night, a big crowd and it rocked. It was perfection. I also went to night 2 in Melbourne but the first night was my favourite.
