    I joined this wee thread on page 102. I was such an excitable young thing - waving my Astoria ticket around like a kid on Christmas Day. :oops:

    Wow! this Thread is still going! As the 7th Anniversary of this awesome occasion is nearly upon us, I thought I would raise a relevant question...........

    This was my first Pearl Jam show after years of not being able to afford to travel etc and i was lucky enough to bag some tickets. I would like have a memento to remember it by, as there was no official poster for the Gig I was hoping that some of you would have a photo of the setlist or know where I can find one, so I can make a copy and frame it with my ticket to go up on my wall. I would be eternally grateful if you could help.

    Thank You!!
    My body is a temple come kneel at my prayer mat.

    My first ever show!
    The night before tickets went on sale, I stayed up all night chatting to new friends I'd made on here. In the morning, I was refreshing TM and at 08:58 the tickets popped up and I grabbed two. Probably the most excited I'd ever been at that point. I literally ran outside and danced in the rain haha.

    What a show this was. I vividly remember the floor bouncing during Even Flow :)
    And who can forget the Scots flashing Ed haha!

    Had a quick chat and a beer afterwards with Kelly from Stereophonics!

    I'm still sad there isn't more footage or better audio of this show out there. The bootleg is pretty good but I really wish the band would've released it officially. Such a special night!

    I've been thinking about this one recently. Baby number 1 is due in a few weeks and I've got 3 shows coming before he arrives. Then my life is going to change in a big way. 

    It's made me think of my touring journey throughout the years, and this was show number 1 for me. 2006 is a strange year for me, a year full of joy and devastation. My mum passed away in the August and her funeral was the day before I flew out to Lisbon for the shows. Those five shows in September - Lisbon x2, Paris, Verona, and Milan were strange, powerful, healing, a distraction of sorts from the proper grieving I hadn't done yet. 

    But when I got back a few months to the April, mum was sick but doing OK, and I remember she was the first person I rang when I snagged tickets. And one morning she asked me to nip to the shop for the paper and when I got back she had a massive grin on her face. She asked if I wanted a surprise and then she handed me the envelope with the tickets. They had been posted while I'd been to the shop and she was excited to hand them over. It's a small memory but a wonderful one. 

    The show itself was wonderful and of course I told my mum all about it when I got home. That April with the show and album buzz was a beautiful time. It all changed a few months later but I grateful I have those memories. 

    2006 PJ and my mum will be linked together forever in my mind, which is a good and bad thing I guess. 

    Anyway, cheers to those who attended this special night.

    Thanks for sharing your memories.

    I really enjoyed the show and being at the Astoria, seeing friends and showing some lovely Portuguese folk around London.  

    It was also my 4th favourite of my 2006 shows, but only because Marseille, Reading and Verona were all very special shows for me.  Remember the Avocado album had leaked just before, and lovely to be the first to hear live a couple of these songs in effectively a club gig.  A happy day!
