This show was unique in many ways. Personally it was the 1st ever PJ show I attended. Electric atmosphere, outdoors in the lovely Botanical Gardens of Melbourne. Crowd was very fired up by the time PJ started, lots of crowd surfing up front and pogoing all the way, right down the back. This show coincided with the last night of the annual Moomba festival in Melbourne which meant lots of people spilled across after the end of the festival, wanting to get in the gardens to see the show. The police did the right thing and let people through the barriers and everyone behaved great, filling up the hills down to the back, enjoying the music. The fireworks which went off for the end of Moomba was timed pefectly with the end of Daughter (happy accident or clever planning by PJ?). Having Corduroy as an opener was a surprise and got the crowd going early. This I believe was the only time Stupid Mop was played live (as a tag to Daughter). Link Meanie (from the Meanies) and Ed came back at the start of the 2nd encore to play the Hunters and Collector's classic Throw Your Arms Around Me, much to the crowd's delight. The closing Baba O'Riley may have caught a few off guard but was very much appreciated by this long time Who fan. All in all, an amazing night. Shame only a low grade boot of this exists.
