    I'm the customs officer Eddie dedicates a song to :) Due to having a melt down after the shout out there was some confusion
    As to whether it was 'Lightening Bolt' or 'Unthought known' that was played?!

    That's awesome Lisa- great that you gave them a good experience entering the country too. It would be a life long memory to be mentioned by the greatest band in the world live on stage- Well done

    Finally back on the forum after nearly 3 weeks! Was dreading having to see my band at a festival but it turned out to be a a great experience. Managing to get at the front of the barrier was a highlight too with Mike jumping down and running right past us. Good setlist ... wish I could go to more shows! B-)

    Got to Main stage about 2 songs into Beady Eye's set (520ish) and was about 5-6 deep with no effort at all. Would have loved to be on rail but there was no way I was staying there all day in the heat and also wanted to see some other band. All The Colours were very good as one of the first bands up on side stages.

    (Ed says” there is someone here that we have seen at a bunch of shows. I should know his name.” He asks the person if they have a request. Once Ed gets the request he tells the audience, “Okay, if you don’t know it it is his fault.”
    23. Sad

    Good request Gus!
    Awesome!!i know Gus is always on the rail!!
    I saw Gus at the end of the night and said hi. He is easy to notice. :)

    Would love to see any photos or video footage from the Gold Coast show, especially the part where Mike jumps down and runs along the front barrier, then stops to play for a while. Has anyone got any?

  • As much as I was dreading going to BDO, it turned out to be yet another brilliant PJ concert. I would say it was a hell of a lot
    better than the QSAC concert they last played and on par, if not better than the previous BEC concerts, possibly except for the '03 BEC concert.

    Now to wait (hopefully) for the bootleg so I can once again lose myself by closing my eyes and screaming out the lyrics to PJ songs.

    Hey Kat, It's "Occy" not "Aki". Occy is Australian surfer Mark Occhilupo. Thanks. :)

    Anyone know if the "I Pledge myself" bit before the Save It for Later tag is an improv or from a song?
