    but it was followed by one of my favourites Daughter. I wonder if the band are paying attention to the requests on here now as someone had recently posted how they have never added a tag in Manchester before and W.M.A. is for me the best of all, especially as it was quite extended. It's more probable they tagged this though in light of the recent sad death of Rodney King.

    That was me. Got quite excited when they started WMA!!! I was videoing it too, so I'm sure my squeals of delight will be heard when I finally re-watch the videos :lol::lol::lol:

    Great review Veddertown :clap::clap::clap::clap:

    Really summed up a lot of things i wanted to say but difficult to put into words after the euphoria of such a great gig.

    Amazing that after 20 years this band is still determined to keep the levels so high, bring on A/dam and Berlin.

    We were fornt row of 203, surprisingly great seats. Anyway, I stood up at the start and a few behind me stayed seated for a while. I think they just got sick of me after a while and stood up, but no way im sitting. Nobody said anything, but really, why would you sit down???

    Absolutely spot on!! We were first row of section 202 for night 2 - luckily the entire first row of that section was standing. I was standing in front of the ONLY 3 people in the section who chose not to stand (all 3 were wearing Metallica t-shirts). WTF is up with that?! They luckily didn't say or do anything, but it would not have been pretty if they had. :twisted: :twisted: :o:D

    I was in section 115 for night 1 and the entire section was standing, dancing, rocking out. But night 2 it looked like that section was dead - as I rocked and danced in section 202! :?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    I was at Manchester 1 and the gig was great etc, I was also at Hard Rock Calling 2012 - similar setlist, so when I see the fantastic setlist for Manchester 2 I feel ripped off! Just saying.....

    This show was the shizzle... Where we were stood is where it was at 8-)
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    but when Mike walked out with the Gibson double neck and strummed the intro to Inside Job the atmosphere in the room was amazing. Although I've always rated the song quite highly nothing prepares you for just how good it actually is live.
    I was in tears...

    I'll tell you this: Present Tense was unforgettable.

    Very true. Is the fan who got Mike's shirt at the end here?

    Oh yes I'm here!!! :)
    What a show! Great energy in the first row. Right in front of Mike, with a constant contact, a few emotional songs for me, perfect setlist, a couple of picks, Ed's wine and then Mike gets down off the stage onto a little platform, gives a girl next to me the setlist and then takes his T-shirt off, rolls it so that nobody snatches it and places it into my hands!!! Total shock! :)
    I've never thought any show would top Marseiile for me. Well, I was wrong!
    The T-shirt is going to get framed and put up on a wall in my house!!!
    Now packed again and ready for an early morning flight... See you in Amsterdam!!! :)

    Been trying to leave a message on here since Thursday but had trouble posting for some reason :x - all seems sorted now thankfully :) .

    I thought the first night had been a great gig, and outdid the '09 show by some way but Thursday's was absolutely incredible!!! Couldn't believe they played 48 different tunes over the two nights, I was only expecting maybe 40. The band seemed on fire and so tight for the first 2 nights of the tour, just wish I was following them for the rest of Europe now - isn't that always the way after a show tho ;) !

    Hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as myself, my bro and a mate - particularly the Italian guy we met in the Moon under the Water who had been waiting 18 years to finally catch them, not a bad first gig eh?!

    Even managed to find a couple of bars playing PJ after the show, Norwegian Blue was awesome with some serious crowd interaction with PJ blasting - good work to everyone who found their way in there!!!

    great show, like seeing them in a really large club. good energy all around, and they played most of my favorite songs! it was my husband's 50th birthday, and we had our 10-yr-old god-daughter with us, her first rock & roll show. one of the top 2 or 3 PJ shows we've seen!

    Great read, thanks - I'm totally up for a 10c gig at Eden, been wishing for that one for some time!
    I remember Ed mentioning 'Pete from Cornwall' at Wembley '07, glad to see he's still with them and he always gets a cheer from our small group that are in attendance :)

    After spending some days remenbering and internalizing what happened and what I've seem, I've got to say that it was better than what I expected. I was expecting of finding some nice fans and having a great concert but I found some incredibly nice people and a super awesome concerts. Both nights are memorable, listening to release live for the first time gave me the hugest goosebump I've never had and what happened after release was awesome a greatest hits setlist, is the best way to have your first concert. And the second night was even more awesome, I was in the second row thanks to a very nice PJ fan (Well first night I got better tickets for FREE thans to another PJ fan) I was just in front of Mike ( He even saluted me and I salute him back, that made me remind of Dimitri, which is weird cause I don't even know him :lol: ) the set list of this second show was awesome too and being part of the night were a song debuted live for the first time is more than what I expected.

    Waiting for the next tour in europe so I can see PJ and the Jammily again

    Thanks to the band and the people I've met for those amazing days

    Cheers!
