jeff - hey, thanks again! yes, i actually gave it to gitta b/c she was closer and after the show she mentioned you tossed it up and you and i did briefly speak about it, and i thanked you then too, hahaha....but that post-show high makes everything such a blur. i do hope they got it, would be very sweet. either way i am sure to pop something in the post in any case.

Oh geez, really? I do not remember that at all. I dunno where I was at... I think I had a billion things going through my head after that gig- more so because it was our last one and there were so many people I had hoped to be able to say goodbye too. Anyway, I'm sure the boys got it and I'm glad it was a worthwhile trip for you. All the best to you and maybe see you at a future show.

ha. i would never ignore burt...i am sure i was blissfully unaware......errr yea, under the influence.

eh, unless someone gives me a birthday present of a round-trip ticket, or i win the lottery...it ain't happening in any case. so sure, i can easily fantasize about it for halloween, or my birthday. but seeing as i am not a huge fan of halloween, and it's soon too...whereas my birthday is far more important

and the end of november.....IF i actually got the $$$ together to fly from NY to london, i think you can scrape together the what, 50 quid? it may cost ya to fly back over to celebrate my birthday there.

haha.

and then yea...all happy celebrations, for the woman of the hour. :cool:
damn tho, i am curious and yet scared to even think/imagine/see any video :eek: footage of any of those nights!

Under the influence

weren't we all???

Even looking at the pictures I took in the second pub the next day, it didn't seem familiar at all

. It took a few hours to come back to me

. Well it sounds like I picked the right show to go to, meet up wise anyway.

Hmm... 50quid??? Well my flight for halloween is 90 and only cos I booked it over a month before

but I reckon I could manage to swim over maybe

burtschips · October 2006

ha ha D2D you were blissfully unaware for about 2 seconds then I cranked up the volume and got your attention, you cracked up but I can't hear what I was ranting on about. Wash_ is emma one of the english girls..

That certainly was the heaviest night of the tour for me.... i walked into the bar the next day and the barman started to laugh at me. I also remember that each time I went to the bar during the night I seemed to be getting more money back.... hmmmm... that could be a figment.!

Lol, yep you must have imagined that... unless you were GIVING more money, hence the GETTING more money back

Yep, the barmaid was laughing at me too - cos I was only drinking the half litres until after the concert, then I went in and asked for a litre and she's like :eek:

hahaha.

i'd love, i think?, to see that. nutthin' like watching a bunch of drunken idjits making fools of themselves.

and, okey dokey...emma...is she the blonde who was drinking her beer with roses in it? if so, gotcha. i don't know why, i could never keep her name in my head even tho i did speak to her a few times. ahhhh, the evils of alcohol.

btw - i think that was the 'heaviest' night for ALL of us. seriously, the next day, gathering together early in the day before the show...before the pre-show party......who knew we would have a pre-pre-show party friday night?

........we were all rather slow/quiet/rough. hahaha. totally feckin' worth it tho.

see it rained to help push all that alcohol out of our systems. yea, it needed to be done, flushed thru the skin...b/c we all overimbibed THAT much. :eek: haha. good times, good times.

the whole tour...amazing.
and sure, to not completely obliterate the true love of the thread........yea.......man of the hour....the pinnacle.

edit - for helen: 50 or 90 quid...was simply illustrating the VAST difference in the price of you flying to london from ireland, and me doing so from NY.

so yea, even at 90, doing so 2x....still no where near what my fare would be. eh well. :(

*feels loved*

hmmm...seems about long overdue to post the lyrics we all know and adore here:

Man of the Hour

Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed, then on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in May.
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

Nature as its own religion; gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend.

And the sky breaks at dawn shedding light upon this town
They'll all come around
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just goodbye for now

*sighs*

I first heard this song in Santa Barbara 2003. I loved it right away. Ii's amazing how Eddie just wrote it when he was asked to write a song for the movie.

first time i heard it was when the 10c released the single. oh my, it made me cry. i then cried when i heard it over the end credits for big fish....and man, the beneroya hall version, first live performance...listening to that recording i am pretty sure the tears streamed too.

i DO know for a fact the first time i heard it love, boston 2004....with a great friend from here, BIG hug...and yea, tears. so even more fitting the 2nd time hearing it live...with a different pj friend, whom ironically i met in boston 2004......big hug...and yes......the most tears ever, for all the reasons of this thread.

completely emotionally beautiful song for me. unreal.

it DOES so beautifully fit with the themes of the film, so appropriate...and thus why so gorgeously sad.

decides2dream · October 2006

hey all....PLEASE listen to the mialn boot, and then get back to me and/or post here.

a fellow boardie pointed out to me that she *heard* the mention of 'dream' in some momblings by ed right before pj played "man of the hour" in milan. now, at the show i was right up front and heard nothing of the sort...i have listened to the boot numerous times and still have heard nothing of the sort...but absolutely, i'd LOVE to get opinions on just WHAT does ed say/mumble about right before pj starts up with "man of the hour"...?

at the time, and even after listening to the boot..i was always of the opinion that ed says something along the lines of " this one we're tryin' "...or" just want to try it ".......unsure. although now with this new seed planted in my brain...could it be "this one for dream"...? i never thought so, but after the PM suggesting such, i'd love other opinions.

so yea, break out those headphones and really LISTEN...and let me know.

grazie mille!

no idea what he says there: 'this one ???'
I can't understand what Ed says, let alone sings half the time anyway, but doesn't sound like he says 'for...'.

Though I'm pretty certain it's not a coincidence they played it here

Lizard · October 2006

OMG that would be sooooo awesome!!! Unfortunately, I do not have the boot to listen to!
