    Does the band know that Avocado exists? Come Back is the only song off the album that gets played on a regular basis.

    Just back from the show.. Still calming down.releases as an opener love it.. Lots of energy in the first 6 songs felt the boys really went for it.. Loved nothingman really moving.. eds voice was incredible... .lots of crowd pleasers and a few surprises. Ed was on great form.. Lots of chatting. Rocking in the free world was a great closer, last few times I've seen them its been yellow Ledbetter - good to finish on a rocking tune! I felt The crowd were really quiet.. Even those at the front of the pit/standing.. I've not seen such a quiet crowd before.. I was trying to make up for about 500 people!! Awesome set list overall.. Wish I was seeing them tmrw night too!

    5th PJ show and boy, it did not disappoint! Starting off with Release... I got goosebumps. Some great jams and longer than normal songs... which is all good in my books. Big big smile during the drive back home.

    Took my 8 year old. He's been to school today so managed to fall asleep during .....love and trust, which wasnt ideal!

    Great gig though. Didnt notice the Cornwall chat. And also took Junior for a piss during Even Flow (managed to get back before it finished!) but all in all, a solid gig. Hope tomorrow is as good, though I have no worries on that score!

    Came extra from Switzerland just to see PJ (and Chris Cornell :-) ) and it was worth it. 4th time I've seen them now, the first time seated (which wasn't so bad after all).

    The show was great, setlist was solid (little short, but arent the all?), the crowd showed lot of energy. Really looking forward to see them again tomorrow.

    See you down at the pub for a pint tomorrow, cheers ;-)

    (But we need to help them make good fan views with important questions! Like:)

    DID EDDIE PLAY GUITAR?!?!?! I'm assuming he's A-OK and played on all those songs he usually does, Porch, Just Breathe???? Checked a bit of the photo stream but didn't see him holding a guitar in any...

    Ed was his usual self, running round the stage, jumping all on the show. Played guitar. Nearly got hit in the face by Jeff's bass during Porch. They were on fire tonight, didn't feel like the start of the tour, felt like they were straight into the groove.

    Not true at all. There are several songs that get played more than Come Back.

    The come back dedication... This is why the band is just different. The listen and they get it. Great job...
    Did he say, "This one's for Paul"? Details please!! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:


    No, he didn't mention the guy by name....just pointed him out in the crowd and and said something to the effect that "...this song is a dedication for this guy here....can't remember if you said you were coming tomorrow night...but we'll do it now just in case something terrible happens....you never know, life is fragile so we'll play it now" words to that effect anyway.
    He pointed! :shock: :shock:

    I would literally pass out. Then come to and start sobbing.

    Wow. Very cool! Thanks!

    More fanviews please! Thank you! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

    Amazing show, I've seen them many time as I'm sure many of you all have and this show was incredible, great set great crowed, so much energy in that room tonight! Oh and eddies vocals were spot on he really was on form. Great set though I thought, Nothingman was a highlight for me tonight.

    Bring on Amsterdam!!

    If anyone would be kind enough to pick me up this gray shirt and gray hat from a merch stand, I would pay you for it, plus shipping and you could have anything on my FT: list other than the Deluxe Blu-Ray and Soto.

    Would be looking for a size XL shirt, and if hat is fitted, size 7 1/2

    Thank you soooo much in advance!!!!

    Here's the pick of the merch:
