Ive nothing booked.

This fascinates me I have to say. You're spending two nights in one of the biggest cities in Europe at the height of the tourist season and you've no accommodation booked. Do you have any kind of a plan whatsoever? Not trying to be smart by the way but I'm genuinely curious as I am the most anal person on Earth when it comes to travelling. Wouldn't set foot outside the door unless every minute of my trip was planned with military precision.

Most sets outside of of the festival dates this tour have been 3 hour epics with between 32 - 35 songs :eek:

Last night Leeds got 3 hour and 20 minutes show with 36 songs. Absolutely great evening! :cool:

That's what I love about Pearl Jam, I've never been to a show that didn't break the 3 hour barrier.

I know a few people over there, not really a big deal.

Great news about the gig in Leeds last night. good they've a night off too. So much better than seeing them at a festival. Tickets are a bargain as its basically 2 gigs long!

Setlist from Leeds? Actually makes no difference. Could be totally different.

ffs, All buses and trains seem to be sold out, had transport sorted till friend pulled out. Completely screwed now...

krustycustomer

Booked an open return ticket, should be fine

Dr.Sanchez

Yeah open return ticket should be grand. Traveling down from Aberdeen on my own to see them myself, staying in Victoria beforehand!

krustycustomer

Where abouts?

Stayed in comfort inn westminster last week, 64 pounds a night.

Might do same,

Thinkin the 13.08 train from Euston to MK and prob the 23.18 back

What time you think the gig will be over at?

First Direct Arena Leeds is a fantastic venue, easily the best indoor venue I've been to. Brilliant sound, great views, easy in and out.

8:15am flight in the morning to Luton then off to Milton Keynes,taking in Neil Young in HydePark Sat night too. Don't know if it's more hope than expectation but I've a suspicion that PJ might make an appearance with Uncle Neil in Hyde Park,fingers crossed anyway!!

Safe trip to all those travelling over for PJ,see yis tomorrow night!!

His brother Simon not Pete you mean.

Serious tour from the boys, something like 131 unique songs from their back-catalogue played over the 12 gigs, each show averaging about 33 songs. I was at both Amsterdam shows and Berlin, from what I've seen this band aren't slowing down or getting any less intense with age. Roll on Europe 2015 or 2016!

Will we ever see Irish shows again and why do they avoid us on most tours ?

i say it's logistics, we are on an island, costs more, the english arent to far from mainland europe, have the channel tunnel etc,. It is why, if you ever notice, bands start or end their tour here etc They may still come yet though

s8n

Plenty of other top acts still come here and it's not an issue for them. PJ routinely skip us (despite all previous gigs being sell outs) - it's getting a little tiresome at this stage

Yellowledbetter

Last night was epic. Thought it was a nice touch when Ed came out to do Porch acoustically before Off came on,brilliant.

Roll on the next European Tour!!

MK was fantastic. Every album got represented. Great closer and the band were in top form.

Pj have been in europe every year the last almost ten years. they dont routinely skip us as has been said. Theyre extremely clever at doing their thing..which is, we only want to/will tour for 2 possibly three weeks...play certain countries this year, and other countries the following year..get over the irish victim complex crap...

plus

about overheads? the O2 is THE most expensive venue in its class in the world to insure for a concert...look up the death toll....its 9 or 10 in 20 years...thats why your ticket is so expensive kids..

go see pj overseas..them gigs are ALWAYS better...dublin gets the soundcheck gig as they always start here(almost)

Yeah they really don't play here or any more or less than they do in a lot of countries. I think they're quite affectionate about Ireland actually. They'll probably play here next year.


9 or 10 in 20 years? Really? What concerts?

The poster before you is talking rubbish. no-one has died in the 02

At the gig in Leeds Eddie was joking about being naked on stage. He asked Mike McCready in what cities did he get naked on stage.

McCready mentioned a few places, couldn't really make out where he was saying. Vedder said how about Dublin? McCready replies 'oh Dublin for sure!". Vedder says 'ah bubblin' Dublin, been a while since we been there'.

Just a story.

ok if we're gonna split hairs, you know i meant the point as did everyone else..

Pjs last gig in the O2 in dublin, some kid should have actually died cos he was upstairs, jumped on what he thought was a platform, it was actually just a large felt cloth covering the sound desk, fell from the upstairs section, missed the sound desk by inches and broke his arm.

i worked in the point for years...do some research, theres been many deaths in there.

Is the reason you are not backing up your claim with your supposed facts because you are talking out of your ass?

The only time I know of when somebody was killed in the Point Depot / O2 from 1988 to 2014 was in 1996 at a Smashing Pumpkins concert when 17 year old Bernadette O'Brien was crushed to death after fans refused to calm down and stop moshing despite constant urging and pleading from the band.

If you know more than this, like you claim, why not tell us?, instead of typing out smart ass comments like "Do some research" and "that's why your tickets are so expensive kids" there really is no need for this condescending carry on.
