Firstly, loud energetic crowd, and not just the 10c section, the whole figgin place was going nuts. Many people on their feet the whole night, it was cool to see people in the back row of the rafters still rocking out

I had 3rd row stone's side (195***)

interstellar-> cordory, 'the waiting drove me mad' was sung en masse by the crowd, and was the first of many singalongs.

I could see people throughout the arena trying to G up the crowd around them, probably in response to reviews from sydney 2

Last Exit, Animal, Life Wasted, and Severed Hand fly by without a breath, all really tight, ed's doing the five against one hand gestures, with many on the floor following suit.

Big response to small town, first ed speech about the good crowd response. Saying they 'might have had a bad crowd previously, 'bunch of imposters'


Faithfull Yeah! (this song is great live)

Marker Yeah!

Even flow features mike and matt solo's. in the lyric ed's line 'faces that seem familiar' is sung as he nods to the front row, 10 clubbers who must've seen their fair share

the only songs from binaural and riot act, insignificance and i am mine were received well and followed a political speech about the bi- elections, specifically montana which came down to the line.

'Jeff Amet may have just saved the free world' do to his campaigning in montana for the democrate ( i think?) and somthing like 'jeff is significant, this next song is insignificance'

Wasted reprise to betterman is brilliant, ed intro's boom, crowd sings first verse/ chorus, caos ensues.

Lukin is a surprise.

didn't expect jeremy, they'd already played lots of hits, big crowd interaction, 'arms raised in a V' fingers in the air for 'fuck', all that. A suitably intense RVM to close first set

1st encore
Ed's all 'we're a long way from home, nice to feel appreciated, specially after haveing a (bad) crowd'
off he goes, a nice parachutes, given to fly. Evolution gets the crowd pumped, followed by an intense GO, even with a second verse stuff up, were maybe matt plays a few extra fills or somthing, it takes a measure or so to pick the song back up.

2nd encore

ok buy this time the crowd was already lapping it all up. other ed comments (i can't remember when exactly) include 'i hope its exactly the same people tomorrow night' and 'its friday night, so drinks are on me... if you can find me' big grins from all the band, ed is filling up peoples cups with his wine, the whole frickin place is on its feet, jeff is jumping around like a mad man, mike is throwing out picks by the handfull, random high fives through the crowd, clapping along cheering etc... total rock bliss

so WWS is great, but SOLAT is totally unexpected and is probably almost the most awesome thing ever, with mike and ed doing the lean in that we saw in the canadian tour

black is epic. you might have read how the front row was all interlocking arms and swaying, prompting ed to say 'never seen that before'

the tag includes firstly 'time heals all wounds' (repeated) then right at the end of the break down 'we didn't belong together'
make of that what you will, but i loved it. deep personal resonance. looks like the protagonist has moved on, good for him.

Alive. Shit. probably the most awesome thing ever. HUGH response and crowd interaction.

No srub that. Rocking in the free world. Surley. that's much more totally awesome. (ed adlibs 'bring'em home while we still can' in the final verse) and runs around the front row/ side stage areas high fiving people, giving out tamborines.

Ledbetter? get out of town. Mike throws 2 shirts into the crowd, including the one of his own back

this was my fourth PJ concert, all previous have been in brisbane; 1998 no. 1, 2003 times 2 (with fan clubs tix for night one) and then last night. While nothing is like that first evening from '98 last night was probably one of the best gigs i've ever seen, and the awesome crowd capped it off.
