    Yeah. It was a bit tough, because I couldn't get onto the frontier touring website. Wasn't too hard to guess the password though! ;) I was going for GA anyway, so I wasn't in too much of a hurry.

    It's probably too late now, but as usual with these things it was a word from the latest album's title.

    Hmmmmn, good point. Penthouse has a "getting away from the city" vibe up on the hill, which could be good for the film. But it is harder to get to. Readings probably have the better sound system and are easy access, but it's also more corporate hoarish...

    Hi everyone, I need ur help please, I know i'm australian but I'm a nice guy..... Plus we all share the common bond of loving the greatest band in the world.

    Now what i was wondering is did anyone meet or know of anyone who met eddie vedder after sydeny1 last year?

    I met him, and it was so cool, one of the best nights of my life. Now some kiwis took a photo of a group of us with eddie, and he put his arm around me, which was cool. The people took all our email addresses down and said they would email it to us in a couple of days. Sadly it is a year on and I would love to see that photo, as my memory is all i have of that occasion...

    I have tried to search for someone on here but my search has turned up empty:-(

    I would be eternally greatful if they posted here or you guys knew them and i could somehow get it emailed to me.

    Thanks guys

    I can remember seeing a link to a story and a guy had his pic with ed taken and the guy had a kid I think. And the kids drink bottle had all PJ stickers on it... But that wouldve been posted probably after the shows.
    Anyway it was in the newspaper I think. If I saw the link it wouldve been posted here most likely or at http://www.lifewasted.net or the http://www.skyiscrape.com

    Funny... I went to the exact same showing! I took a friend who fell asleep for the first half (although she always does). I had to pretend that I had no idea that Eddie did the soundtrack, but got busted pretty early on..

    Kinda hard when the theatre is pretty dark. But uh yeah no, can't claim that giggle was mine. Was ocassionally singing under my breath though, but not even my friend next to me woulda heard that (lucky for her...)

    Thanks, the story was so much better then what i wrote down, i was so tired so i just wrote the bare minimum.

    Here is the story, 7th of November 2006 after the forst Sydney show, the fiorst concert of the Australian tour. After waiting around for a couple of hours and after security told me all the band had left, i hung strong and waited. They soon drove up this big driveway, and there was someone i had admired for so many years stepping out of a van.

    Ed walked straight to this guy who was in a wheel chair, this guy had bright coloured hair and spoke through a computer. Ed had met him beofore and started talking to him. Ed was saying how if he comes to another Sydney show he will "look after" him He told ed that he would be attending the Melbourne shows. Ed then said he couldnt do anything for him for the 1st and 2nd show because he was doing something with the family of some the victims from denmark.

    He then went to give this guy a number but didnt have any paper. While his security went looking for some I pulled a piece out of my wallet and Ed was so greatful, and i must say i got one of the most sincerest thank you' s ever. There was something about looking ed in the eyes, it is so captivating. He then gave this guy a number and said to call the tour manager he will sort something out. (It was only a few months ago that i found out that Ed dedicated a song to this guy at Melbourne- Off HE Goes)

    We were told we couldn't take any photos or ask for autographs, and he came around to shake all of our hands. I was suprised how short he is and also i have to say how fragile he is, which is totally different from his stage presence. I told him how i have followed Pearl Jam since I was 8, my older sister got me into them and now i am hooked. He said "Thank your sister for me"

    He was so nice and he seemed to hang onto every word I had to say, and really listen. I think he likes that, that everyone has a story to tell and everyone is unique. I'm probably wrong, but that is how i perceive him.

    He then moved on to the rest of the group and someone asked if they could have a photo. His security said 'No if he does one, he has to do them all" Ed then said "well we could do one big one???"

    We all gathered around in a group I made sure i was next to ed (maybe a little selfish, but hey once in a lifetime) and he put his arm around me.

    He then left, thanked us all for hanging around, and there he went off into a dark Sydney night, which was lit up not by street lights, but by the smiles of about 20 lucky Pearl jam fans.

    The couple whose camera it was said that they would email us the photo, They said it would be a couple of days because they were moving back to New Zealand.

    Sadly, I never got that photo, nor my friend who also put his address down. If you are out thetre, I would dearly love that photo, While my memory is still fresh over 1 year on, It would mean the world to Me.

    I will start a thread about this, if you know anyone who it could be, i would be so greatful, I would give a bledisloe for this photo....

  • Cool story. I had dragged two of my mates with me from NZ to the show (they weren't really fans) so I only got to hang around out the back with a few other randoms for 5 minutes tops. But because of that, we had missed the last train (or bus?) from the city centre to our place so I never heard the end of it from them. Next time though, I'm totally campin' out all freaken night if I have to...

    Good luck though with finding the photo!

    i doubt they post here, but one would think if they could be bothered to hang around after a concert they would be big fans, so big fans would post here right?
