    Wow! I cannot thank ten club enough- my seats were centre third row and it was the most perfect experience. Both nights 1 & 2 were mind blowing. I am simply humbled by being able to be there..... and thank all for the experience.

    Highlights for me on Sunday night were Immortality, Gone, Corduroy and Smile as I had never heard these Ed solo before. Ed was chatty and funny. btw Russell is in fact Angus (Gus) .. but I think most of knew who Ed was talking about anyway. :)

    Looking forward to Ed's last show of the tour tonight... it's going to be great but sad as it will be goodbye to Ed as well.

    I have a Brisbane night 3 (25 Feb) poster that I'd love to trade for a night 2 (23 Feb) poster if anyone is keen!
    I will be what I could be. Once I get out of this town.

    Such a fantastic gig! Was so so pleased to be able to get into town in time to see it (I travel a lot for work).

    Have seen so many awesome stories from people with this EV tour, it's great to see people like NatashaPJF have a brilliant experience to go with a mind blowing gig!

    Missed out on a poster, but was stoked to see only one guy ended being a Poster Hog (And got booed for it too!)

    Think my only 'disappointment' was my 10c tix were in row M? I've always been really well seated when buying through here so think I was a little shocked to be so far back.
    Not to damper the night anyway!

    This is one of the most amazing stories ever... you may want to sit down for this.

    So my 9yo son (who is obsessed with Pearl Jam) and I are walking up to our seats up the back of the top section when a guy stops us and asks if we've seen Eddie before. I say my son saw him at the BDO but thats it. He then says he works for Eddie and that we've been upgraded to THE FRONT ROW!!!! Get out of town. My son and I are both totally blown away. We've pretty much won the lotto right there.

    We walk down to the front and take our seats. His tiny head is spinning the whole show. It's absolutely amazing. Then at the end Eddie is doing a guitar solo in the final song, he sees my son dancing in front of the stage, gives him a shout out and a wave. Strike 2! He is now totally blown away.

    Then... and here is the bit I still can't beleive - Eddie comes over to my son during the guitar solo - AND GETS HIM TO PLAY THE FREAKEN GUITAR WITH HIM. It's all happening right in front of me and I simply can not beleive what I am seeing. My 9yo son and Eddie Vedder thrashing out a tune together right in front of me! After the song Eddie came back over and gave my son the pick he was using and an extra one.

    Needless to say we were both speechless. It was the greatest single thing I have experienced in my life. On the way out my son told me he's giving up violin and getting a guitar. I was a liittle jealous of my son (not that I told him). I couldn't sleep that night and was just waiting to wake up and expected it to be all a dream.

    I really wish i had a photo, but alas no cameras. Anyway, we'll always have the memories of an amazing night.

    I'd love to be able to tell Eddie how much that guesture meant to my son and I. It was simply amazing.

    Wow that is such an awesome story. Front row upgrade, guitar playing with Ed and picks, just amazing, so happy for you and your son. I love reading these stories. Is your son still really excited or just really cool about the night? I am sure you won't need a photo, as the memory will be etched into your brain from being replayed over and over again!!!
    Thanks for sharing :-)
