The lads have taken a bit of a hiding here these last few weeks ... Amoungst a sea of negativity questioning their ethics and commitment to the band.....

So i just wanted to say they have provided me a summer to remember this year.

Blistering pearl jam performances giving me first time experiences of so many I desperately wanted to hear incl...

Comeback 
Oceans 
In my tree 
Breakerfall 
Crown of Thorns 
Off he goes 
Hitchhiker
Last kiss
Brain of J
Better things 
Wash 
Deep 
Baba 
Sad
Mother 
Amongst several others Including even a unique bugs !!!

Following that were three magical Ed solo shows ..... Including the fabulous London 2 show. 

Catching songs like man of the hour, parting ways, long road, crazy Mary, and not to mention the Glen duets was out of this world (society will never be the Same again!!)  Stripped back and relaxed - music at its very finest 

So despite what's going on here these days, I can't complain - this summer for me has been sensational and I have a hell of a lot to be thankful for. Still smiling two months on. Priceless. 

We are very lucky indeed.

    Happy moments for me in no particular order:

    Sometimes
    Smile
    All Those Yesterdays
    Mother
    Oceans
    DTE in Prague
    Come Back in Berlin 2 (because I knew you were probably losing your shit a few feet away :lol::lol: )
    Of The Girl
    Love Boat Captain
    Berlin 2 when Ed said, "Everybody's smiling!"
    Meeting you in person finally
    Running into Stone in Prague
    Stone hitting the crap out of the tambourine in Copenhagen
    Carlo and Paulina popping up randomly whenever I looked up from my place in line :D

    :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

    I'm sure I'm forgetting many things. One hell of a summer indeed!
