I loves me some Trail of Dead, Zwan and Ween. Though I haven't heard of about 80% of the people on that archive site. Look how much Grateful Dead they have though!

There's loads more bands who allow taping too, here's a gratuitous wikipedia article (with PJ on it):

12! So just out of interest what was it like being at a festival that young?

[Paulaviki]

well, i was 5'9 and looked about 14, so most people didnt realise i was that young, but it was more, standing near towards the back of the middle of the crowd, and watching, maybe seeing one or two bands up close, but i was there which is all that counts i also met lostprophets, which is one of the only things i remember, as well as hundred reasons, who i worshipped, and were first band i saw at reading.. and my dad singing green day drunkenly

he's cool enough that he bought a ticket this year in the presale, then admitted he wouldn't go, but instead of selling it, he's making my entire family come up to reading, so if my sister (whos 11) wants to see any bands she can get in for free with him (for being under 12) and my mum can take the wristband and go and see bands if she wants, i'll find that pic of me at first reading, was only about 10 minutes after arriving.

Saw on a website last night that PJ played their version of 'its ok' last on 22/07/06, fingers crossed they might play it at CW (or if they don't in Paris so I get to hear it!).

There is a great video of it on youtube, at a beach gig, Eddie Vedder singing with the lyrics on paper, and he still made it sound awesome!

To think I might have missed PJ to watch Maximo Park before I met Ollie.

Just found this video of Light Years from Pinkpop 2000. As someone who's experienced loss of life a few times, personally this is one of the most touching songs on the subject. When people die their light still shines through the people they touched.

Your light's reflected now.

Reflected from afar.

We were but stones.

Your light made us stars.

On a sidenote, how under rated is Binaural as an album? It's probably the one I've listened to most over the past few years. Would have been even better with Sad on it.

I had a dream about Pearl Jam last night.

Me and Ollie were at some random small festival watching PJ and afterwards had a nice chat with the band, then the bass player gave Ollie his guitar. All very odd.......
