Doesn't seem the 'Astorians' thread came across.....
Am I allowed to ask someone to help me out with a bootleg? I see the posting guides say I can trade them, but unfortunately I have nothing to trade.
I'm still sad the astoria is no more.
as an aside - I met plant and plant junior at a pub a couple of years ago, really friendly and had a nice little chat with us.
I've my hard drive didn't break i would be playing this verrry loud, even though the quality is baad. I still think you can here me on present tense and a few other times inbetween songs.
God i'm so tempted to post the dweeby photo of me i took at this show! Times sure do change!

I'd posted this on the pearljamboots forums. I go by the moniker of a_scratching_voice on that site.
It was a great gig. Looking back the setlist wasn't that special, but being the first euro gig in 6 years no one seemed to tell. It's kinda ironic that the gig wouldn't have had the great atmosphere if PJ hadn't been away for so long, almost made the 6 years worth it! The anticipation was tangiable, definitely a rare event since UK is usually spoiled for gigs.
Loved it
I didn't even know Plant was there, until after the gig when my Mum said "Did you see Plant when you walked downstairs? You walked right by him" I was kinda shocked and upset I didn't even notice the guy :(
I took my mum to the gig because there was some confusion about changing the name of the 10c membership to my name and they weren't sure who's name the people would have on the door, so I took my mum anyway [much to the annoyance of my friends] and she loved it.
Only criticism would be THERE WAS NO POSTER!!!! :(

Which upset was slightly reduced by the fact it did have it's own t-shirt
A few weeks spent trying to get a ticket ... taking a half day off work ... chillin' in The Royal George ... a couple of hours before the gig being given a ray of hope I'd make it in ... then
... and I suppose meeting some of you lot was good times too :twisted:
seeing them in such a small venue was a great experience, however, the band were a little rusty in my humble opinion
I was next to her
I felt a bit mean about abandoning my mum up on the balcony! It was worth it though :oops:
I agree that they were a bit looser, but I think it's a great thing to do. It seemed more like a gig for the band to enjoy and have fun with rather than concentrate on their playing. People obsessed with spot on performances may have been a bit disappointed, but personally I love it when a band loosens up and enjoys themselves. PJ are a bit uptight sometimes, I don't think Ed would dare get so drunk at a bigger show.

You can see Eddie holding my hand and giving me a hug at about 1:40
I was a little upset at the boyfriend for not getting a picture and now I have a video

I know still makes me a bit weak at the knees just watching it :oops:

Probably to see if anyone noticed him. Pearl Jam isn't the type of band to shun their fans, but they aren't the meet and greet type either.
Thank you for that!
oh yes fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
present tense my favourite pj song!

Yeah I saw him as well. It was like one of those slow motion double take moments you see in films.
Great night.
