  • Woahhhhh! Where were they hiding that Lizard Queen poster!? That is insane. 1/5? Does that mean every poster out of five was that colour?

    Congratulations to the happy couple!

    Think there were only 5 total. So I was lucky to get 1/5. I went to buy a poster and saw the mad green one on top and just told the merch guy to give it to me.

    What an incredible 2 nights. Last night was what I'd call a 10c set. I hoped for a hits set & a rarities set and we got it. I wouldn't even say Night 1 was a hits set in fairness. Of The Girl was supposed to set the show but they went with Go instead and it was the right call, diving right into the show. Delighted to I Am Mine, WMA tagged on Daughter, Off He Goes. Chuffed to bits. Hitchhiker! What can I say? I fucking enjoyed it. I don't care if some people in the crowd didn't know it, I loved it. Its not the greatest song but its one of those moments you'll never forget. Pleased with only 4 repeats, guessed we'd get 3 of them in Even Flow, Better Man and Alive. Thought Even Flow was immense the 1st night and it was even better the 2nd night. Great to finally get Sonic Reducer and for Mike to throw in Little Wing with Ledbetter just made a magical 2 days even more so. Perfect end to it.

    They thanked the fans at the end but I wanna say thank you to Pearl Jam. Best band in the world :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

    I think i prefered the original one BUT, I'm a sucker for weird merch/limited stuff and that night was so incredible that I grabbed the normal one on the way out as well :fp: :lol:

    Pearl jam eats my money

    Not much to add that hasn't been said already except that the whole band seemed really into it and pretty much on fire both nights - especially Mike, some great solos from him (as you'd expect! :) )
    Some nice extend jams on the end of a few songs too, I think NFY and PTense in particular (memory getting hazy now!)
    Any set that includes Hail, Hail, Deep, PT, Off He Goes, Inside Job and Sonic Reducer is pretty epic in my books!

    It did go to an extended outro but can't remember what Ed was singing.

    Noteworthy as well, tagged Modern Girl to Not For You but didn't sing it.

    Just want to add my comments and say last night will stay with me forever, think it was the best Ive seen the band. Brilliant set and personally for obvious reasons loved Lukin and Inside Job made my night. Certainly my favourite of the two nights. Bring on Berlin 1 & 2 - counting the days. Adding my congratulations to the lovely Irish couple who got engaged, what a special memory.

    Both nights immense

    People's perception on crowd just depends where they are in the crowd. Different spot in each show could make a huge difference.for me both crowds were fucking great. Sure ed was just using the trick to fire up the night 2 crowd ;)

    Definitely agree. I had a great views of the band and crowd both nights and they were excellent. You had to be there. People sat on the forum analyzing a youtube vid.....it ain't the same! Manchester rocked!
