Et quoi public mou alors???

[thefrenchconnection]

mouais ... si Ed en vient à dire qu'il se croyait dans une église, c'est certainement que çà devait être mou du genou ...

[thefrenchconnection]

This was where Ed made his first speech "I dont know if there is an abundance of security guards here tonight, but feel free to move around. It feels like a church in here."

As I stated at the start, if ever we needed an example of how the bands feed off the energy of the crowd, tonight is the show. Ed appeared frustrated, while Mike did his best to pump up his side of the crowd (which I have to say were awesome, both on the floor and that whole corner in the stands, good job)

In summary, tonight was absolutely awesome, the setlist kicked serious arse, the boys are still in form, but the crowd left alot to be desired...

An open apology to Pearl Jam from a Sydney PJ Die Hard.

I love Pearl Jam and I have said many times that a PJ show is the closest thing I get to religion. I have seen them nine times, in a total of three countries on two continents. Each time up till now has been more memorable than the last.

The set list will be talked about again and again. While I can’t remember it all now, my personal highlights were DTE to open (I love this song live), Whipping and Not For you in the middle of the first set, Army Reserve, a blistering Porch to close the first set. And of course, Baba O’Riley in the second encore…

The band played great and I thank them for trying so hard -- because the crowd was terrible. There were die hards out there and they were trying to get it going, but to now avail. Maybe it was because there were no 10 Club tickets for this show, so there wasn’t a block of die hards up front (I feel they fuel a good show). But there was no one interacting, no getting into it except for Alive and Even Flow. 4 songs into the first set Eddie said something along the lines of “I have to ask an important question… How you going? Because you are allowed to express yourself and get into it, people are acting like it is church out there”. Even during DTE to start, no one moved, no one danced, or sang along, or clapped, or anything. You could see the frustration on the bands face, as they anger grew through the set. But they played on and finished it out and played well.

To let you know how bad it was… during Baba O’ no one knew the words “Don’t Cry...” they were supposed to sing, leading Eddie to say “Come On!”.

Thanks PJ for playing out the set, despite the terrible crowd. By far the worst I have ever seen at a PJ show (after 10 months in Sydney, this city may have the worst rock crowds in the world). And sorry from the die hards. We were out there trying. And we still care. Please bring it again for the 3rd show, we will be there.

Franchement ça craint... ils ne méritent pas ça.
Avec la setlist qu'ils ont eu en plus!!!!
Indifference et present tense dans la même soirée, je crois que j'aurai littéralement pété les plombs moi!!!
