I know that some of you are packing. And that others are even on their way for this festival. Unfortunately I can't be there, due to family and work obligations, but also because I live in Europe. Nevertheless, I wish everyone on this board a blast. Have fun. Stay safe. Enjoy their music (even it is not in the order or all the songs that you prefer). *And do not use Even Flow as your pissbreak!* I will be thinking about everyone of you, and all of those I met throughout the years, when I will be drinking a small beer in a local pub...

Keep us, who aren't there, updated on the athmosphere, songs and concert. Make this their best rock concerts. And than afterwards, do not forget to write a fanview...

For some reason, I feel that they will start out with Release on one of these nights. If they do, tell them "hi" from all the European fans and other fans that are out there, but couldnt make it. We will relive these concerts in our minds.

Seriously... Twenty years!, people. Celebrate this occasion with all your might...

My love to all the community!

From Europe's time frame: three more days to go.

With kind regrads.
Tony

    I'll be posting up my view points. I'll have plenty to say as I am sure others will.

    Guys remember to enjoy every single moment you're there and beyond. Who would have thought when I picked up ten so many years ago, I'd be here where I am. It's twenty years!

    See you all @ PJ50 ;)
    Have fun, walk hard and stay alive.

    Great post!

    My love to all the community!

    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    When you sai "hi", tell him that Amsterdam isn't such a bad city after all. We have a bad reputation in the Netherlands. But we are ok. And we have very nice theatres (Carré or Paradiso), that will do fine for his solo concerts!!!! ;)

    Have fun there.

    No, that is one thing that we have to enforce on those that are going: *you are not allowed to have a pissbreak!* Just full of 2.5 hours of music.

    I'm quite envious, to be honest. But in a good kind of way. I hope that they will play some true gems. Like Light Years, Indifference, Release, Brain of J, Who You Are... The list is endless... Maybe they will shock us and open with Hard to Imagine or something like that...
