long time lurker, today I have to share.

A very special show. My hometown. Family happening (mom, dad, brother, wife, 6 years old daughter - her first concert ever). Great seats - 1 row seats, about 10m from stage.

Working till 6pm, going home for a dinner, picking up family and than heading for a PJ gig is an once-in-a-lifetime experience after all the plane/train/car/hotel chaos of last years.

After Amsterdam 1, row 3-4 in front of Jeff, I was little bit afraid Prague will feel like lower energy, man I was wrong... The energy started to grow right from start, not slowing during the encore breaks at all. Most "big hits" were played which was cool having my parents (clapton, dylan, wonder, stones, even tina turner listeners) there. I got my Push me Pull me and ofc GARDEN. Now hoping for Oceans tomorrow in Berlin. Loved my two fav covers, Baba and CM (hoped for this one, Mike and Boom rocking the shit out, like in Belfast). And finally 2nd encore, it couldn't get any better. You could feel the energy, 99% people on their feet, dancing, waving, rocking. Very special Betterman. Had an ecstatic grin on my face all the time, looking on stage, wife, parents, checking my daughter, seeing Dimi and many other familiar faces from other gigs in front of us rocking like crazy.

My daughter stayed up for about 70 minutes, standing on her seat and rockin' (pitty PJ started about 20mins late) and than fell asleep. I am sure she will remember this night for long time. Even in sleep, she smiled and clapped her hands after every song! Dancing and rocking to PJ and holding head of my sleeping kid is very very special experience.

Heading for Berlin tomorrow, will be more like a chill out after this emotionally so moving experience.

What a night!

I think its been perfectly all summed up with the above review...

brought a lot of local friends and colleagues, mainly PJ virgins to experience all this. The setlist fit them perfectly which just added to the unbelievable atmosphere.

Im reading the local press reviews of last night show... a gig of the year for them. despite we are just half way thru...



(on the down note though - think the sound wasnt really ideal ... but we all been within 10 metres from the speakers, so dont know how it felt further the arena...?)

Unfuckingbelievable. Still processing but the crowd was amazing, band was amazing. Set list could have been anything really, it would not have mattered. Been meeting some wonderfully nice people too, I think most of you will be in Berlin, so see you soon

Rob + Mrs Rob from Baltimore standing about 3 rows deep Mike's side, it was super cool chatting before the show and also rocking out. I was standing right next to you, from NYC and stressing out about grabbing the poster Between worrying about merch and getting home I totally forgot to tell you in person.

I ran into Stone + daughter in the morning too which was super cool. Totally unexpected, all I said was, "I'm going to the show tonight! And Stone said, "oh yeah? It's going to be a great show, I think". I didn't want to bother him more so all i said was "see ya". And boy oh boy,was it ever!!!! Stone came over to Mike's side at the end of the show to wave and say thank you, which I don't think I've seen. Gawd I can't wait for the boot!!

Ed said something about his injury, and how there was a moment when he thought all this might be taken away from him, and being able to do this with this crowd was just amazing. Something like that. He also said Prague's the best crowd of the tour so far



So happy for you and everyone else at this most amazing show!!

Cheers,
Barger

There were many good moments but one of my favorite parts was when Ed was making up words on the spot about not wanting the night to end...Might have been Not For You? And he he kept going and at one point Jeff, Mike, Stone and Matt were all like, I'm, where are you going with this? And Ed started singing a song and forgot entire lines. Can't remember which song, don't think it was on the official set list. Im not good with remembering songs..if only there was a way.. Oh right. Official boots!!! Oh and when Ed introduced the band in Czech and Stone was the other guitar player and note paper holder or something to that effect because Stone was holding up Ed's notes while he was addressing the audience in Czech. And they were both cracking up.

And when he quoted Oscar Wilde he first said "Oliver Wilde" then corrected himself, saying "he lets me call him Oliver"

Favorite song I heard were probably Crazy Mary which I don't normally love.

Favorite favorite part of the night was seeing the band so happy!

WOW. I don't think I can sleep tonight! What a magical night! I can't stop smiling

OMFG last night was AMAZING! And I am on disbelief that I get to do this again 2x in Berlin! Highlights for me were DTE, Crazy Mary, Garden, Not For You, and Baba! But really, every song was a highlight! The energy was absolutely incredible and the fans, to each and everyone of you that I met... Thank You! We shared an amazing event and I can't wait to see many more of you tonight in Berlin at the preparty. I am now officially spoiled by Europe GA standing tickets! Was abut 3rd row Mike's side and being that close was a dream come true!!!

I really loved the show in Prague... However, I was amazed to hear Ed (and now to read similar posts) saying it was the best crowd on the tour so far...
Where I was standing - which was far at the back, so that our wives could try to see something - I unfortunately did not feel the energy... Could not even hear properly when the crowd was singing... And really my feeling was the people were simply not singing (i.e. on Betterman intro, Ed had to sing over pretty quickly; on Black, there was no singing at the end...)
Not to mention that we could not bring drinks in the middle place... which made it a little bit difficult...

Anyway, I really enjoyed the show... and reading all your posts, I regret I was not closer to the stage to really be part of the energy.

I'll see with the bootleg, but if you guys saw this show as a great one, I can really recommend you the Antwerp bootleg of Aug 30 2007...

See you all

I was there with you - next to suziemay. What a great spot we had. Such a fantastic show!

I didn't see anyone mention it (?), but when the show started, Mike came onstage holding his son. So sweet.

Can't wait for Berlin!
