    I'm actually thinking Do the Evolution, then Red Mosquito, then Gonna See My Friend, then Go......are are going to rock out for sure!!!!! Haven't seen them since 95 in Melb - was right at the front - getting squished from all the people breaking down the barriers at the Music Bowl.......Thought I was going to die couldn't breathe at all - BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!! Bring it on!!!!!!

    My guess is we'll see Ben Harper come out and join the band to do Red Mosquito in the second set like they did in LA 3 & 4. It was an awesome Jam with Mike and Ben trading solos, but after seeing it twice already, I'm hungry for something else - but hey, I'm sure everyone else will be thrilled to see it for the first time.

    Yeah, c'mon man - think of us all that haven't been as abosuletly spoilt as you, and seen so many awesome shows!! hehe, seriously though - I don't care WHAT they play - the idea of being there at all - with so many years (for me) in between gigs - and life has just been shit lately.......idiot husband up and left recently, and we have 4 kids (thankfully none are coming with me - hehe...selfish I know!)...and you know, life can be really hard sometimes, so just the idea of being there, with the best band in the world, and the best fans in the world - it's an awesome thing, and I can't wait......counting down the days - for the last 2 weeks I have been putting a different PJ lyric up on my FB wall to 'educate and enlighten' my non PJ loving (! I know!) friends and family......and will continue until the concert

    IT's all good :D

    I did that with Pearl Jam lyrics every day for a long long time - it used to help put all the shit into perspective...

    This sums it up

    "If you're going through some shit in your life chances are somebody else has gone through the same thing before ya. And they've written about it. Some poet or philosopher has been through the same type of crap, and they've written about it. And when you find that poem or piece of writing. You think bloody hell this bastard has just summed it all up. It's kinda comforting. Know what I mean?"

    The Man (Michael) from "Two Hands"

    Yeah, it really does put stuff into perspective - and you know it's funny...cause when I start to write a particular lyric, and then read what I wrote (to make sure it's all spelt correctly!)...Usually I find that even without doing it consciously, I have picked a lyric that sums up my feelings or mood for that day perfectly, and it makes me feel better.......PJ lyrics are like none in the world, and I can always find one at least that helps me go through whatever emotion has surfaced (and there have been A LOT of them lately!!!)

    So everyone's psyched up and getting ready for Perth!!! Oceans would be a great opener.

    They did 'Mankind' in Philly - now that and 'Undone' are two I wish they'd add to the Perth set list.


    They did undone last time at Subiaco.........but it was during soundcheck. :D

    Yeah, that doesn't count :)

    So my request stands as is (I know I'm now getting greedy):

    Opener : Of The Girl
    Lost Dogs Track: Undone
    Rare Album Track: Mankind
    Cover: I See Red - Split Enz

    And I want them all dedicated to me hahahaha
