No Life Wasted badge but I bought some Pearl Jam badges. I wore the Eddie badge for a while at Sydney 1 but had to remove it because of the "mosh pit" where I was in the 14th row.Sydney, Australia - March 12, 1998; Sydney, Australia - February 14, 2003; Sydney, Australia - November 8, 2006; Sydney, Australia - November 25, 2006; Brisbane, Australia - November, 2009; Gold Coast, Australia - January, 2014, Gold Coast, Australia - November 20240 -
Collecting 10club tickets was ridiculous at Newie.... One at a time into a massive blocked off room... too funnyOz Jammer wrote:Security was insane!!!
I reckon it was about 2 steps away from being a case of sexual assault.
Newcastle was the worst. They wouldn't let me in with the inflatable beach ball i bought so I had to smuggle it in down my pants. It was humid as hell that day and the plastic gave me major chafing :(
And the security over the 3 nights of Sydney changed...
Sydney #1- chewy confiscated, think i got a metal detector scan. Drinks checked at door to make sure they weren't alcohol... had to get smart to get grog in heh... cross on ticket and my arm!
Sydney #2- rubber glove cavity search.. kidding! Not even an attempt to empty my pockets like the night before. No attempt to search drink up top in the oxygen lacking seat i had.
Sydney #3- No care in the world.. in you go... Could take grog in no worries... was a saturday though i guess.0 -

Hey I remember that now. I was frisked by a female my own age then had to show her what was in my bag. I had a camera hidden under some tissues. She said the camera is okay but you'll have to throw out your packet of chewing gum because it can be used as a missile. I remember thinking how stupid because I had a purse full of makeup, eg. lippy, mascara, powder compact etc. which would hurt a lot more than a chewing gum packet!
And then at Sydney 3 some old guy was there and just had a quick look in my bag and then said "go through love". :rolleyes:Sydney, Australia - March 12, 1998; Sydney, Australia - February 14, 2003; Sydney, Australia - November 8, 2006; Sydney, Australia - November 25, 2006; Brisbane, Australia - November, 2009; Gold Coast, Australia - January, 2014, Gold Coast, Australia - November 20240 -

Really? There was no one at the window when I got my 10c tks about half way thru KOL - took 10 secs. Same as Syd. Mind you I always pick my tiks up at the last minute to avoid the rush so that probably explains itI'll ride the wave where it takes me.0 -

I wouldn't know. I went to the window where there was no lineup. What was it called again? Oh I remember. The complimentary ticket window
Saved myself $200 that night

There was no lineup, yet still my gf and I were the only ones allowed in heh.. we were there very early.. before the outside "bar" opened. I think the comp window was in the same room as tenclub tickets come to think of it! 0 -

Yeah it was. We rocked up about 2.30 but we were told we couldn't pick up our tix till 6.30 :(
I love the Newie Ent Cent. Only at this place can you stand outside and hear what's going on inside clear as day
Was amazing to hear In My Tree, Throw Your Hatred Down and Fatal x3 in soundcheck

Hey Country boy - there's 50 bars within about 2 blocks so we got a plethora to choose from. We'll go somewhere near Wynyard/The Rocks so you are only 200mtrs or less from the hotel.
Only prob is I GOTTA be back in the office at 7.55 for an online school thing. Thank God I dont have to talk/slur for it - just listen. What time do you need to leave for the concert?
Ill buzz ya around 4 and head down right on 5 or a little beforeI'll ride the wave where it takes me.0 -

"My buddy has heard ALARMS OF NAUTICAL (a track that also was talked about by the band, and the media, supp a "who-ish/peter gaibriel sounding song"). Here is the openening line........
I can't help but see you round,
on the faces in these crowded trains
Theses tracks are out there guys, i hope i dont get introuble for even saying this, BUT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH!"I'll ride the wave where it takes me.0 -

I'll probably head off around 7.15 - 7.30. That should give you enough time to get back to school 0 -
