Black in Berlin. I'll never forget it. Just as I'll never forget the look on Eddies face at Roskilde, I'll never forget the look on his face at the end of Black in Berlin. He looks almost awestruck.
Just the whole vibe surrounding a Pearl Jam show. I'm quite frankly amazed at the passionate and dedicated fanbase this band has created through integrity, hard work and accountability. Seeing all the different nationalities decending on one city, having people all around town - from out of country - walking up to you and sharing a few words just because you're wearing a PJ-shirt. It's just so positive.
Good morning folks. Hard to pick a best tour moment D but praying for Sometimes in Belfast since it is after all my favourite song by anyone and getting a text midway through it from Sian who I'd just told before the show it would be my holy grail song was really cool. Just the anticipation of my first show in Dublin when the intro music started. The emotion brought out by Black in Berlin was amazing and Mike's Immortality solo! I could do a top 25 moments from the shows and still forget things. Too many good things to know what was best because I thought the shows were amazing but just seeing the community from all over the world coming together made me understand why I've always been such a fan of this band!
Haha! Getting a text from you for No Way was one of my top moments on tour!
My top moments... hmmmm :think:
No Way in Belfast... I was so happy, I was shaking :oops:
Better Man in Belfast, Dublin, London and Nijmegen
Tremor Christ in Belfast... completely unexpected :thumbup:
Getting the Belfast poster
Singing Happy Birthday to Brendan O'Brien in Belfast...
The Belfast show in general
Our little road trip from Amsterdam to Nijmegen and picking up an awesome straggler by the name of 'Jenny' on the way home :P
The London show… The people we spent it with were incredible and the atmosphere was second to none. The GA peeps around us didn’t know what had hit them :thumbup:
Going CRAZY in Nijmegen for In My Tree and, again, all the GA people looking at us weird
The venue in Berlin... It’s so beautiful. I also got to see three songs that evoked a lot of emotion in me… I had said I didn’t want to see them but I’m so glad I did
Getting engaged after the Berlin show was pretty awesome too :oops:
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

Meeting so many nice, accomodating people at the Dublin pre show (and both Ireland dates).
Having someone shout my name as a nice, calm, quiet introduction.
Being that close to the rail in Dublin, from what I remember from that show the version of Corduroy was amazing, also Mike standing on a speaker playing right in front of me. The reaction to Just Breathe on all the shows, and Of The Earth being a great song (seeing Stone's guitar strings snap on the jam section )
10c train to Belfast
Belfast: Where do I start! Sometimes, Tremor Christ, Black, RVM, Jeremy. Also seeing everyone's faces when they came out of the venue.
London: Betterman (my sister's favourite), Go (her boyfriend's favourite), the last encore on that show was excellent, Black and Alive singalongs.
All three gigs: How good Given To Fly is :thumbup:
Considering I only was going to go to London I am glad I made it to Ireland for a couple of excellent gigs with excellent company. :thumbup:
Reading 2006, Paris 2006, Wembley 2007, Manchester 2009, London 2009, Dublin, Belfast, London 2010, Manchester x 2 2012, London x 2 2018.
Sian, in answer your question, absolutely awful being honest, and it will not be any better until we know who has jobs and who doesn't :? , so it will be like this for a few weeks yet. One of my good friends burst into tears in the office today, and there was no consoling her, and very little I can say to help as I am in the same situation, just lots of hugs and I tried my best to help her.
Dimi, best moment of the tour, the whole bloody lot. Meeting all you guys, the gigs, the band, the break from work, every minute of it. You guys have all made such a huge impact on me, and I luffs you all muchley for it.
(I still do have visions of little Phil emerging animatronically from his coffin, which makes me smile everytime I think about it )
I have to say all the gigs were ace, Dublin for being so close to the band, Belfast for an awesome set, London because of all the amazing people I shared that gig with and my feeling of being part of a collective, Berlin - it was emotional and fantastic, Arras for the elation at Baba and the setting, and Werchter - Messers Grohl and Vedder on the same stage at the same time, fireworks, Paul and his family, Dimi playing guitar on my poster tube etc. All were ace gigs
Off to an Eden Session in a bit, and the sun has come out - hurrah!
(Oh and still can't find bendy man :? :? so either he's lost at my house or is still on tour - eek!!!)

Paolo Nutini? Am sure you'll have a good night. Sounds like you need it after a fun filled day at work. It will get easier once you all know for definite what's happening, as you can at least start to make plans accordingly.
Am back at work tomorrow, still feel like hell but can just about speak now so figure I should go in. Could be a nice quiet end to the week for my colleagues, compared to normal anyway!
Baba in Arras was an amazing few minutes, not least because it broke the Alive>YL routine!
The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits
I think you may have been introduced to me in Belfast by someone *looks at Sian* :roll: yelling your name in a 'this is ....' way :shock:
:?: I was introduced to you at Belfast?
Yes you were :P ... this is where having a photo of yourself as your avatar helps/hinders you
Yes indeed... Pippa and PAUL COCKER!!! met in Belfast... infact, I may have a photo of you together... :think:
*scurries off to find photos*

All the shows and all the people I had the privilege to meet.Two weeks wasn't nearly enough time to get to know you all :thumbup:
Same here....it has been a truly wonderful experience...something we'll HAVE to do again :wave:
Without a doubt.
Adjusted back to 'normal' life yet?
Sort of....because of the Summer holidays and colleagues being away work was rather busy...
Working from 06.00 till 17.45....
Not the re-entry I was hoping for...
How about you? And are you feeling better yet?
Dream the dreams of other men,...You´ll be no ones rival,...

I dont miss 12 hour shifts at all
Still miss being on tour with everyone and patiently waiting for the bootlegs.
I've had my student loan approved so all i've got to do now is sign that form and one for the university and then I will get my start date in sometime in August ready for September. Guess I need to start looking forward rather then backwards.

I can imagine The temperatures being 35-38 degrees last week didn´t help either :shock:
Congrats on the student loan!!
It´ll be September before you know it.....life can be harsh sometimes....At least there´s the memories and pictures.....and we´ll be looking forward to the next tour....
I miss not being lost anymore

Well it kinda started on the last night in France. We were supposed to be camping but someone destroyed our tent while we were at the gig so we ended up sleeping in the square outside the train station. It was freezing as well. Had a stuffy head and throat all last week but it became a full blown flu end of friday / saturday. Ah well it was all fun.
Your right September will be here soon
Maybe you should invest in a sat nav? One for your car and one for when your just walking about

Black in Berlin. I'll never forget it. Just as I'll never forget the look on Eddies face at Roskilde, I'll never forget the look on his face at the end of Black in Berlin. He looks almost awestruck.
Just the whole vibe surrounding a Pearl Jam show. I'm quite frankly amazed at the passionate and dedicated fanbase this band has created through integrity, hard work and accountability. Seeing all the different nationalities decending on one city, having people all around town - from out of country - walking up to you and sharing a few words just because you're wearing a PJ-shirt.
