POST tour blues

I've overdosed on Pearl Jam shows over the last week, now I have forgotten how to function normally.

What a phenomenal week.

Gutted its all over. I think it would be in order for the band to release some more Uk dates now. I mean its been ages since they were last over here ;)

You Americans/Australians etc have something extremely special coming your way. This is easily the best tour i ever saw. Easily, The band are a joy to watch, they are so on fire.

I think in manchester we were treated to the most incredible set you could ever wish for.

Now I gotta get my head straight and accept that theres no point in seeing other bands for some time, because there isnt a band in the world who can match these performances. This band are the best bar none on a stage.

I'm off to sit in the corner sulking that its over again.......

    It's obviously time to get on a plane and visit the US. :)

    if divorce wasnt legal in the Uk I'd go with my friend Norman (he was evil enough to offer me his seattle spares on the way out of London).....

    But I dont wanna be divorced.

    My wife really wouldnt understand. Nor would most normal sane people. To me this seems like a very good idea. :lol:

    Post Pearl Jam Tour Depression Syndrome is real . Going from the high of three shows in four days (Berlin, Manchester , London) to surfing my couch is impossible. My cure is more of the hair of the dog that bit me. I go on the pit once or twice a day , watch my PJ DVD's , listen to the music, and as the Seattle dates draw closer, will pop in the Touring Van Canada and OZ DVDs so that the hunger for the road builds. The waiting drives me mad , sure, but the best music and the great fans that make The Long Road so great are never far away.

    I have the blues... it's why I took today off work :(
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    my girlfriend and I cycled off for some chinese food- im telling you that was the most difficult bike ride ever after that gig!


    hope you all had a great show
    got a bit crazy where I was-had to bail out to the side by the time Grievance was played

    anyway it was ace to meet you and everyone

    STALKER!!! You can bet your life as soon as you get to Seattle you'll be trying to find out where Eddie lives and ringing his doorbell to try and get your reenk roink and tamborine signed and telling him you love him.

This guy i met told me he saw a wierd little bloke sat on the curb waving his deep magazine at all the cars and lorries that left the venue.... loser! ;)

    I heard about that guy too, he doesnt sleep ever. so the legend has it

    he has this mate who was trying to emulate that curly haired useless one in Gomez - shaking the hell out of a tamburine.

    I've had the blues since the tour started since I'm having to stay home this time. It REALLY makes me feel uncomfortable!! :|

    We just moved and we're getting settled in here and work and school is starting, blah, blah, blah...but STILL. :shock: :?

    Hi Paul.

    Took the day off here.. Slept til 1pm, made a huge breakfast and been watching track & field from Berlin all day! Might have to do the same tomorrow ;)

    200 meter tonight!! 19.35 your time.

    Best pj trip ever, it was great! Id say the band put their 06-07 tours to shame. Crowds was good and the general atmosphere around the gigs was cool.

    Rearviewmirror from Manchester was the highlight of the tour for me. Great version.

    Thanks again for a good time man! Say hello to max & edward for me. Peace & love
    I will swallow poison

    Hey Niko,

    my highlight was Turkish Pebers and some strange alcohol from your land

    musically it was probably Love reign oer Me, man did he deliver that well

    otherwise like you i would say RVM was intense.

    you are also right in that it put 2006/7 well and truely to bed. Easily the best i've seen them.

    Looking forward to Norway already....you can complete your Dalowsky set then and meet Mrs D......

    Hey Paul! I understand your situation 100 %! Unfortunately i have only been able to see one show - BERLIN!!! But it was so amazing and one of a kind that coming back to "normal life" is back-breaking! I flew back to Vienna on Sunday and had to work again on Monday! I can tell you that this had nothing to do with working...i was only sitting around, extremly sad, not able to concentrate on anything! Now, on Thursday, the situation is still the same...all my thoughts are back in Berlin and i hate this all day shit!!! My wife has the same problem/situation and we decided to make a complete european tour in 2010....if they come again next year... :?:
