What more can I add? It was a fantastic show. got to enjoy it with a group of diehards around me, I was there with my old man who missed Adelaide night 2 in 06 so all he wanted all night was Ledbetter to finish, was stoked for him that they played it.
Great feeling amongst the PJ purists and some great banter by Eddie, especially in regards to not having decent wine, sponsoring a local paraolympian to get to the London olympics (Then playing the fixer for her), the protest march in 2003, the arsehole, etc,etc.
And how can you ever get tired of Mike bouncing and running around? He looks great!!0 -
A memorable and fantastic night.......every time I got to a concert I always leave saying it was the best concert I have ever seen. So to the band once again I thank you for the effort u put into your shows.
The band played on a beautiful evening, and the set was definitely one for the older fans with alot of No Code which I loved. Bigger crowd than I thought there would be as Adl Oval is massive and quite wide. I was only 3 heads away from the front and vibe was awesome.
Eddie mentioned the fights in Perth and the tool in the Adelaide crowd. Hopefully the band takes this feedback correctly but it would be really nice for the 10C members to have the own area(esp after we pay that bit extra and we are lining up quite early). I found that alot of the trouble starts when these pissed bogans come in from GA and push their way the very front, and start trouble with the true fans of the band.
Thanks again , and looking fwd to the melb show.1995 ~ Canberra NATEX 1998 ~ Thebarton Oval Adelaide 2003 ~ Adelaide 1 & 2 (Ent Centre) 2006 ~ Adelaide 1 & 2 (Ent Centre) 2009 ~ Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) 2009 ~ Melbourne (Etihad Stadiuml) 2011 ~ Eddie Vedder 1& 2 ( Thebarton Theatre) 2014~ Gold Coast ( Big Day Out) 2014~ Melbourne ( Big Day Out) 2014~ Adelaide ( Big Day Out)0 -
yes great concert. great setlist. also going to melb and would be good if they let the 10c be by ourselves. the only time that there was trouble around us was when the drunks came down. But it is a concert so i guess if ya want to be close deal with it.
is there any 10c drinks on thurs night organised for melb??????? or after on friday night????0 -
WOW! - what more can you say! Great to have the boys back in Adelaide (my home turf) for a show. Thebby Oval back in 1998 was a great outdoor gig here in Adelaide, and this one at Adelaide Oval last night was also great - there is something about seeing them at outdoor shows that makes them that bit more special than indoor gigs.
Thanks very much to Boom, Stone, Matt, Mike and Ed for putting on an amazing show with a set list full of highlights for the purist including some great tunes including some great tunes - In My Tree, No Way, Unthought Known, Lukin and Blood. Special and good to see No Code getting some airplay! (every song they played last night was great). The boys never disappoint.
It was funny hearing some people after the show whinging about them not playing certain 'big ticket' songs, but if you know their music then this was a great concert for the proper fan with all bases covered - old, new and all bits in between; both well known and some more obscure less played tunes. Excellent!
Enjoyed Ed's weather comment too and 'splitting the needle' with the temps here in Adelaide - given that the weather for the better part of the week leading up to the show was in high 30s Celsius (approx 100F) and the forecast for the days afterwards are for 40C plus. perfect timing - and when they played Just Breath i swear that a cool breeze blew in over the oval and provided some brief and pleasant relief. It is moments like this that put a big smile on your face.
The crowd was pretty good over on the LHS in front of Mike. Not as full on as some shows i have been to but the up side is that it meant you could enjoy watching and listening to the boys play rather than having to battle to stay upright. Really enjoyed Mike coming out with the SA 'Heaps Good' t-shirt latter in the night (and running around all over the stage - fantastic energy and got the crowd going) and kudos to Ed for spotting out the 'arsehole' in the crowd too. You idiot!
I like the idea of the separate area for the 10C members to stop the pissed bogans pushing their way up the front - lets hope they do something like this for Melbourne and the other upcoming shows.
Lets all get behind paralympian Mel Leckie is we can too - a great cause and good to see the boys supporting her in her endeavours.
Looking forward to Melbourne on Friday - and for those about to see them you will definitely be in for a treat!
I'm out!

PS - if i can get Ed's address i will happily send him a bottle of SA's finest drop of red wine - maybe a Hensckhe's - Hill of Grace of a Penfolds - Grange. That should make up for whatever crap he was drinking last night.Duckyhoward

It was a great show with lots of rare songs like In My Tree. The really Jammed on RVM, that's the best version I've ever heard. Where can I get a Heaps Good SA shirt like Mike wore?0

Great concert, probably the best PJ concert I have been to. Weather was absolutely perfect, venue was great and I had no complains about the sound. the only bad thing was the small containers for beer! Eddie commented on how great this oval was and even made the call of saying it’s the most beautiful he's seen (with the cathedral facing him and stuff), don't know if he was having us on or not.
Pearl Jam took the stage just as the sun had gone down, perfect timing. They opened with Release! Couldn't believe it I never thought id hear this song. And it sounded brilliant. I've heard it on boots before in 03 and 06 and it sounded good but didn't have the explosive boom from the album version but when you hear it live it really captures that. Eddies booming voice across the oval was brilliant. Straight into rockers Why Go and Gonna See my friend from new album which were great. Then into Brain of J! First awesome rare track. Sounded brilliant, the guitars were loud and Eddie had a nice growl going in the verses, Stone played a funky little solo head bobbing with his long hair haha. In My Tree next I couldn't believe it, another song I never thought I'd hear. And they played it as it was recorded on the album with the drums and bass intro, probably one of the highlights of the night for me. Next they played Severed Hand and Faithful and Got Some followed by Evenflow, Johnny Guitar. I must say the new songs sounded brilliant live I was impressed. Then Amongst the Waves where Ed completely lost his placed and fkd up the lyrics, then they played I got Shit (another awesome rarer one!) Small Town was an anthem the whole crowd loved as usual.
After this they played No Way from Yield I couldn't believe it! I didn't pick it at first, sounded awesome live, Stone was loving it. Unthought Known was brilliant then they belted out Lukin and Blood to end the first set.
Second set Ed came out and played Just Breathe then Ben Harper came on to play slide guitar with them for Red Mosquito then he stayed on to do Indifference with them. Wish he never came on he killed both songs. State of Love and trust got the crowd rocking after that they they played The Real Me cover, then ended second set with The Fixer and Rearviewmirror, strobes going crazy at the end.
Third set Ed came out and did a request for my sister who was holding up a Smile sign in the middle down the front! Not only did they play smile for her but Ed made sure she got his harmonica after the song. They ended with life wasted alive and yellow ledbedder
Overall the band was in a great mood and energetic and playful, ed was doing lots of dancing and his funky moves, Mike was doing laps of the stage running like crazy, Ed said sorry about fking up the lyrics to Amongst the Waves then made a funny joke about Britney spears saying at least we know he wasn't lip synching lol. He also called out some guy in the crowd and called him an asshole and to watch out cause he was pushing girls around or something.

You guys have got me so excited about the gig in Melbourne, loving the set lists from the two Aussie shows so far!!
I must admit though, I am really worried how my 31 year old body is going to handle standing up for so long! My back just can't handle it anymore, but the pain I am going to be in after will be worth it!
I really hope people are couteous and that we don't get any "arseholes" like you guys... I agree, wish we had a 10C section for those of us that want to be able to truly enjoy the music without any drunk idiots.0 -
They're not seriously thinking of changing the Fixer set up are they? Hope not.. I dont have 10c tickets for melb and Bris. Alot of fan club members have normal GA tickets for some shows. Would be unfair to seperate with another barrier..... I'd be so disappointed if that happened.0

I think the tools were few and far between really - And i had a 50 year old with me standing for 6 hours, you know it will be worth it!
Enjoy the show.0 -

Judging by the bootlegs being released for everyshow since 2000 I think you're pretty safe on that :-)alivein95 wrote:I must admit though, I am really worried how my 31 year old body is going to handle standing up for so long!

Same! Glad I'm not the only 30+ thinking it's going to be a long night on the pins. Lets hope the Melbourne weather holds out and it doesn't rain.0 -
Kinda funny to see a 10C'er, Kat herself, write I Got ID. We all know it's I Got Id, and you especially should know that. I'm just saying.492xxx

If anyone from out of town is heading to the melbourne show I recommend hitting up the Cherry bar on AC/DC lane (off flinders lane) for drinks afterwards.0 -
