    I was on the front row, problem is, when you have a crowd of people pushing you into a metal barrier which is about chest height, it's next to impossible to jump - your more focussed on trying to breathe and stuff like that!! My ribs are aching like a bitch today, plus I had someones's elbows in my back for half the show, which was nice!!!

    i was on the right side, between chris and the guitarist (i don't know his name), and it wasn't that crowded, they had space, that's what bugged me so much. anyway, i know what you mean, had the same thing in pearl jam, hardly managed to jump at even flow :)

    did anyone else actually prefer the audioslave songs minus the rage guys? i was loving audioslave songs that previously did little for me.

    i have to say i do. the little solo they played for show me how to live was so good. i've never seen audioslave live but in the videos i've seen, chris didn't seem totally comfortable. yesterday he did :D

    Last night was ridiculously good! Was at the front, right in front of Yogi.

    I had a cool moment during Like a Stone where Chris was getting everyone to sing along. Yogi was singing the chorus as obviously was I and we caught each other's eye and exchanged a grin, and then he threw his pick to me - which I caught as a complete fluke, I just reached up for it in the dark and caught between my fingers!

    Agree with the poster who said Sunshower was amazing - but the whole thing was great. I couldn't have enjoyed it more.
    seems the whole front row was PJ fans..I was right next to you I believe :)

    cazpj, did i meet u in the queue with ur mate helena and my mate richard? long shot but hi and glad u got ur memento!

    i went to the front, upstairs. im old. and, i need to feel like i can get out if i need to, which i cant on the barrier at the front these days.

    fingers crossed for 18th! how was the meet n greet redrock? i ll bet he was knackered. after that id want a honey and lemon tea and my bed.

    my boyfriend was surprised at the bmf presence. he couldnt stand em, so was well chuffed.

    the bond tune is a great lil ditty! boring? er...maybe i was elsewhere.

    i loved the show last night. best show i have seen in a while, and a great way to kick off the summer gigs :)
    yogi was great, and the drummer was pretty good as well, especially the solo in slaves and bulldozers

    Have all the people who liked Yogi seen that he's playing his own free gig in London tonight? It's on his myspace page - there was a link on the Chris Cornell boards yesterday...
    If you all stop hitting refresh for just two minutes, I can buy my tickets...

    Pegasus - Wey! That's cool, were you wearing a red t shirt? I wasn't being very observant so you might not have been wearing red at all.... but I think I remember a red t shirt next to me... :)

    clairenordon - Yeah that was me! Was really cool to meet you, we were saying on the train how it made the day so much better to have met such cool people in the queue :0) We were glad too to see you guys had such a great position on the balcony!

    Great to hear that everyone had a great time!

    Looks like the European leg of the tour is going to be awesome! :)

    Purple, close enough ;)
    not as red as your friend's hair! ;)
    and there was Wash_ next to me, JeauBong and Conguita and vedder_soup behind you..you were in good company without even knowing it :p

    Oh man... I was indeed, it makes the memory of the night that much better knowing that I was surrounded by PJ fans without even realising :)

    Yeah her hair is very red, all the better to whirl around in excitment ;) I don't know if you saw/heard that she yelled out Jesus Christ Pose literally the second before they launched into it! It was very cool and surreal!

    I can't wait for the audio to surface, I was really hoping someone was taping it... It'll be great to be able to re live the gig (and force all my friends to listen to it of course, they may not want to, but that is quite beside the point I feel)... :)

    Here's a link to my pictures from last night at the Astoria. I was having to experiment with my camera cause it's new and I didn't know what setting would be best, consequently a lot of them were blurred, so here's some of the best ones (the ones at the bottom of the page are the better ones).

    Last night was amazing, thought he was fantastic. Had a few tears during Hungerstrike - never thought i would see him singing it.
    Anyone got any pics of Chris lit in blue doing his JCP?

    Thanks for posting them ... looks like you found the right setting :D

    Got some nice shots.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
