    This was my 14th PJ concert...

    by far the crowd was the best one for sure! Everyone going off but no problemas at all. 10 clubbers were all bloody awesome.

    Special thanks for a club member, freakinPJ (as I remember) for giving me a EV pick after the concert, thanks mate!!!

    Just got back home and uploading some vids on youtube : zezito777

    -Interesting fact, i've recorded a few songs that my camera fuddded up... just found out right on in the middle of I Got Shit. After that worked fine.... So, 1/2 Full of shit! The rest i'll be uploading for you guys!

    Keep on Rocking was amazing with everyone on stage.

    Eddie and the boys were having a great time... as was I and everyone else in there. The weather was not good, but I reckon it made the night more special.

    Also, one of my highlights was Indifference. The way that Ed and Ben put it together was bloody awesome.
    Thats was my mate frinky

    Unbelievably insanely great show. Crowd was awesome. I thought the sound was awesome too! Every song was stellar - each member of the band were all in great moods and having a blast. I didn't even realise it was raining until - I saw it on the big screens - then I touched my hair and found out I was soaked. Some real treats on the setlist and from where I was - everyone was just so into it - what fun. Set list was amazing. For Rockin in the Free World - everyone came on stage and were just dancing and bashing the tamborines. Matt handed over the kit to the R7 drummer and was bouncing around. Neil, Liam, Ben, Eliza Jane - were just all going nuts - dancing. And the Neil/Liam/Ed songs were magic - that was just so special. Getting this boot for sure.

    The extreme weather on this tour has been messed up. Sydney - 45C, Christchurch 7C - wtf?!?! I'm going to need that permission note Eddie promised us - knowing we'd get sick from the hot and cold temps.

    Thank you Pearl Jam - please come back soon! Had the time of my life!

    what a show! this was my third show of this Oz/En-Zed tour (Melb's, AK and CHCH) and i have to say it was my favourite. You could really feel like it was the last night of the tour and all of the bands were leaving nothing in the dressing room.

    Liam was awesome once again - his energy and musical prowess is really inspiring. I don't think many people realize how bloody hard it is to create all of those loops live on stage - and make it all sound cool. Cinnamon Girl with Ed on vocals was a huge highlight, it really set the tone and started the night off right.

    Ben and especially the R7 were really going for it - they're best show that i saw of them without question. The drummer is bloody awesome! A friend of mine saw those guy in the airport yesterday as they were leaving NZ. they said themselves that they thought CHCH was the best show of the tour!

    PJ - before this tour guessing the first song was in the realm of the possible - but not these days. After hearing Daughter open up AK it was anyones guess what would kick off tonight. 'Given to Fly' really got the crowd going. from there the night is a bit of a blur. the crowd was fantastic - much better then Auckland. In AK i was second row from the rail and was crushed to the point that i almost pulled the pin and asked to get hauled out. CHCH was totally different - i was about 4 rows back on Mike's side and it was perfect! everybody was jumping around having a great time dancing away - respecting everyones space. there were lots of hugs, lots of high fives. there was a feeling amongst the mass that we were experiencing something special, something that we wouldn't soon forget.

    i was stoked to hear 'I Got Shit' and 'State of Love and Trust' - two favourites i hadn't heard since my first show in '96. Having Neil and Liam come out and play with the full band and not just Ed was awesome - 'Better be Home Soon' had everybody in the crowd singing along with everything we had.

    'Rockin' was un-real! everybody was on stage having a great time - tambourines were flying into the crowd everywhere and the song went on and on and on - it was a great end to an amazing night.

    Thanks to PJ, Liam, Eliza, Ben and the R7 and Neil for what would have to be my best PJ show! thanks also to all the 10C folks i met here, in AK and Melbourne for sharing some amazing nights together!

    So finally get a chance to post... I was on the right hand side on the rail. My 4th concert, and though it's not many and the others were awesome, this topped them. Such an amazing setlist, especially the final encore. Couldn't have planned it better.

    Highlight of the night for me... had to be when Eddie ran up to me and gave me his tambourine when he ran down the middle :D I still can't stop smiling.

    I went to both shows and thought they were both brilliant. The crowd however at CHCH was much better. I put it down to one thing, the amount of booze drunk. People at the Auckland show had to pretty much leave work and get to the concert straight away, while the CHCH people got to happily drink in the great pubs down there all day. More booze equals more fun and more applause. We were up the front on the left side both concerts, four rows back in Auckland and on the rail in CHCH, and we only got there near the end of Ben's set and walked straight up (not pushing past people). It's funny, we do this at all concerts, you arrive quite late, go to the left and always get a great view, it doesn't tend fill up behind you to much later on. CHCH is now officially the best concert I've been to. Just beating the first Brisbane one last time they were there.

    But, the most pleasure I've got from the concerts is hearing all the people at work who you'd never hear talking about PJ normally raving about the concerts, the songs they loved, the songs they were sad PJ didn't play, the energy for two and a half hours and Eddies perfect voice. Makes me proud to be such a big PJ fan.

    Thanks PJ, I can't wait to see you back.

    My first PJ show - the 2nd best night of my life (should probably put my wedding in 1st position)!

    Amazing setlist, great sound, we had a primo position. Under Pressure is my fave non PJ song of all time, I was flipping out when they played that (we have it on video, unsure if I want to post to Youtube as you can hear me singing in various parts which no one wants to hear...)

    I went with a bunch of non 10c peeps so didn't get right up the front, was about 10 rows back, in between Ed and Mike.

    It was like Mike was commanding the weather! During Alive (an absolute highlight for me) the rain had stopped but then Mike stepped towards the front and started on the solo and the rain started coming down right at that point - it was epic!

    A couple of real idiots were moshing way too dangerously right beside us (way too drunk) at the beginning which sucked (as I am not very big) but they got hauled out by security and the rest of the night the crowd was really good (apart from the odd passing wanker who would quickly get pulled out too).

    Can't wait for the opportunity to go to another show, although it sounded like it might be a while.

    I agree . . . but surprised Amongst The Waves was left out!

    Based on the video, it looks as if there was a lot of elbow room upfront.

    Anyone else notice that?
