Today is the 5th anniversary of the 2006 Zagreb show, definitely one of the best shows of the tour, and if you ask us that were there, the best show ever! :D

We're still waiting for PJ to return, still discussing the show at "Pearl Jam in Zagreb" thread :D and since the 2007 tour whenever there's some Croatian at the show we're showing them one particular sign that says "Zagreb Remembers". It happened at least 20-30 times at shows all around the world and it's now happening in Canada where some of our friends were at the last 4 shows of the tour (it helped that they won the front row lottery twice :mrgreen: )

So, we were thrilled to see today, as we celebrate our anniversary, that yesterday Ed took a note of the sign at the Vancouver show!

{Ed asks for a show of hands of those from Seattle. He mentions some people in the front few rows that are just standing there and wishes he could give those seats to the folks in the back "losing their minds". He takes note of sign that says 'Zagreb Remembers'}

Here's to the next 20 years of our band and hopefully another epic show in Croatia!

    Gordan: First of all, happy anniversary to all fellow Croatian PJ fans. :D Well, what a week this has been. I was allready blown up after the Calgary show and even than I thought that was worth a trip from Croatia to Canada. And guess what, Edmonton was even better. I thought that nothing can beat that. Until Vancouver. To get such a great setlist and to get recognition from Eddie (TWICE!). Zagreb Remembers sign traveled the world and will keep traveling. Thanks to Iva and Pajo who made it and let us have it for this short Canadian Tour. What amazed me the most is the fact that for the Calgary and Edmonton shows the sign was in the 1st row, right in front the band, and Eddie's recognition came when we had to take it to row 13 in the stands in Vancouver.
    Thank you again PJ for amazing three shows. We will keep on rocking and following you with that sign around the world. We would love to see you again in Zagreb. But you know that, don't you? :)

    Perfect show yesterday!!!
    So grateful to Eddie for acknowledging the sign, thanks to pajo for making it and religiously carrying it around and letting Dirty Frankk and us carry it to Canada :)
    Thanks to Sea for making a note about it on the official Vancouver fanviews thread!
    And thanks to Nothings Changed for making this Canadian mini tour even more special – you were such an awesome host!!!

    The show in Zagreb was, although not my first, a turning point for me. It made me wish seeing every possible concert. Thanks to it, we met so many great people, we visited great places. Each trip makes all the work during the year worthwhile.

    Zagreb was a dream-coming-true of a show and yesterday was almost as good!
    It would have been perfect had it been played in Zagreb, in front of the Zagreb’s crowd!

    Come back!!!

    It’s so nice to have all of your support and also love for Croatia. Thank you!
    so i guess we'll have to do , not a petition like thing, but some promotional thing with possible venues and get people to say " yes i would love that" or " I’ll come there" to show how much interest is there for it.
    Cause while watching imagine in cornice you get the idea it would be great to have some mini tour like that again and Croatia would be perfect for that. We have beautiful new arenas, old roman amphitheater and some great summer festivals, one of which is just up the PJ's alley- it celebrates music, ecology, sun, sea and land and it's held right at the beach

    But first of all, yeah, the wave machine is a must! :lol:
    Man, I love to dream

    Arena Pula is the best venue, I've been saying it for years! Like Arena di Verona only smaller.

    My thoughts exactly!
    Maybe Jack Johnson will mention something good about it to Eddie

    Iva: maybe if we show them what a rough day at the office looked like for The National, who headlined the festival this year: http://instagr.am/p/KCvBT/ :D
    Add a wave machine and we're all set!

    Just one more quick thought...I was listening to the Zagreb bootleg again and still am amazed with the setlist...it was a great mix of hits and rarities and just the perfect PJ setlist

    I mean, they played Black, Alive, Better Man, Jeremy, Porch, Evenflow, Corduroy, Do The Evolution, GTF, Small Town, RITFW, YL all in one show, in front of this crazy loud crowd mostly filled with people seeing them for the first time...and then the hardcore fans got such a rarities which they played only handful of times after the Zagreb show like All Or None (played only once), Thumbing My Way (2 times), Thin Air (3 times), Education (5), Army Reserve (6) and Gimme Some Truth (still to be played again)...absolutely mind-blowing :shock: ;)
