**** Berlin Fanviews Here 6/30/10 *****

snowfunk

Unfortunately my efforts to charm the German ladies is doomed to failure I fear, since I only remember about 20 words in German and I used them all up in that post! I do seem to know some words that you Deutschenmaytchen don't though- the ones I made up!

Here is my re-translation of what I was trying to say:

I live in central England in an industrial city. Have you any pets?



Here is my favourite and most used piece of German - which me and my friend use in place of saying 'I'll get my coat'

'Wo ist die nachste haltestelle bitte?'


Anyway Snowfunk , if you keep it on the downlow, I think I might be getting somewhere here!

good morning, mr charme,
i only have a flat mate, does that count?

and i love your german!

where's the nest bus stop?

...but i'd be quite interested wether you can get something somewhere here!

I only have 2 criteria for my charms - i) female, ii) over 16

I'm happy to charm men as well, but we will only get so far. Do you know the Billy Bragg song 'sexuality'? I've always thought it a bit strange when he says 'and just because you're gay I won't turn you away, stick around, I'm sure that we can find some common ground'

I always think - that's very noble of you Billy - I also let gay people 'stick around', but what is the common ground you are trying to find??

I am in danger of painting myself as an obnoxious pig here - I'm not!! (promise! )

In answer to your real question - how about this

t: 'Fier bieren bitte!'

d: 'have you any money?'

t: 'Money? Das ist mir sheisse egal'


edit: [Geld? Gelten? Gelden?] (gold??)

Kitsch - not it's not!

Might have got lost in the post or in translation.

Remind me of the question! (will check the records)

The answer might be: free to you, and free to the 2nd & 3rd best Berlin reviews!!

so snowfunk is gorgeous too?? the trick seems to be to flirt outrageously with foreigners

tremors

OK, I get you degi

Ich habe einen bruder, sie heibt sheissekopf

Ich bin sieben und dreizig jahre alt (zut alors!!)

Ich heibe 'tremors' oder 'kleine bockwurst' (petit zizi)

Degi

hahahaaa so because tremors basically blackmailed/bribed me LOL here is my review :P


me, the unorganized degi i am, managed to make it possible that around 15 of us met at the train station that afternoon and nearly all of us stayed at the same hostel which was pretty cool! so after going to the hostel, we went to what seemed to be every food/alcohol store in the area and had a pretty good time (loads of ugly pictures on facebook too )

anni, ed and i arrived at the wuhlheide shortly after midnight, 16 people were there even earlier LOL
so anyway, it was a great night, anni and i slept a few metres away from the others, had a bottle of vodka and a great time talking to one of the security guards and some other folks, i remember stephen from detroit, even though he was sure we wouldnt LOL (still

i couldnt believe how many familiar faces i saw and how many people actually remembered me, it was AMAZING!!!! it was so damn hot, there was some sort of water-fountain in front of the venue, i think i was under it at least 3 times (i think there are pictures of that somewhere on facebook, if not, there will be!!)
i gave everybody a nice wet hug, if they wanted me to or not LOL was pretty fucking hillarious
(btw TRUDI, if you read that, you were right, sth. WAS wrong with that water, i had stains all over my clothes later that day...^^)
i was front row for the first time and i was with my friends, so that was pretty awesome! standing close to paolo, anni, maayan, jess, gordo, sandra, ondrej...
the concert: ben and eddie played under pressure, i fucking loved it, a lot more then in nijmegen!! long road as an opener, well i didnt expected them to play it again (heard it 3 times in 6 shows as opener)...
gonna say a few words about the roskilde-thing, i think it was misplaced in the setlist, they should have said sth. about it at the beginning and then center the whole show about "being alive" and this kinda stuff, they cut quite a few beautiful songs from the setlist, like the triology... i was sure they'd play LBC since they soundchecked it, but insted they played comeback, a song i really wanted to hear!!! one of my favourites, but i couldnt sing along, and i didnt see many people who did, it was very emotional!!! (oh and i couldnt believe it at the beginning, wasnt expecting that one)
afterwards alive, i was about to be annoyed by that one, hearing it basically every show, same with even flow, but it was SO different from the times i heard those songs before... i think i really fell in love with the band wednesday night, none of the 5 shows i've been to before come close to the emotions that night!!!! if anybody would have told me, that my love for that band could become even stronger before june 30th 2010, i would have told that person that this cant be true, but it is!!!!!! sooo ummmm well about the setlist, i also loved STBC, johnny guitar , push me pull me, in hiding, immortality, BLACK (always thought it was overrated, i stand with that, but i like it a lot more now then before)
cant remember any other songs right now, i think they nearly played every backspacer song, will tell you more about the songs when i heard the bootleg
after the concert i met loads of people, had a great time and going to stop writing about it now





LOL yeah blame TREMORS for that boring and badly written review!!!

Don't put yourself down degi. Blame yourself for an atmospheric, fun moving and exciting review which is a lifeline for people like me who weren't there!

I listened to come back from the Berlin audience recording a couple of nights ago. Very very emotional, like a completely different song from that on record. Something like a new one-off black. I will never see black as overrated - for me it is one of the greatest songs ever written and sung, and i have been listening to it evolve for 18 years and it still brings tears to my eyes. A static subtly moving object on the horizon. If I get more green vinyl atw - (fingers crossed), you are first on the list degi!!. Don't sell yourself short again. I mean it!! thx lots

I gotta say that Come Back has become a completely new song to me after this show.

I always thought the lyrics were really beautyful and it was always a favorite of mine from the avocado. Saw it live in Berlin 06 as well when it was dedicated to J. Ramone which was really cool, but not nearly as emotional as this years incredible version.

I don't think I'll ever listen to it again without thinking back to this night.

ohhhh duuude, i SWEAR, come back that night, i can still only write about it, tried to tell my mum about it a couple days ago... impossible! she doesnt know anything about PJ, so i had to start telling her about roskilde, then come back, showed her the video, eddies voice and then alive... (also had to tell her the alive story from storytellers) she didnt get it...^^
and about black, like i said before, the atmosphere that night was A M A Z I N G (you said you listened to the boot so you know what i am talking about) but they play so many great songs and the audience reacts very well to small town etc. so WHY BLACK?
so you are interested in reading a review for dublin and nijmegen as well? i could write one!
keeping my fingers crossed for the atw vinyl too

Me too, when I first heard it on Avacodo I remember hearing where the words were aiming maybe, it just didn't take me there. The Berlin recording it definitely took me there - one of Ed's best ever vocal performances I think. So real, stripped and raw. Also better days is a fantastic vocal performance - almost gave me vertigo when I first listened - like being out at sea yet joyously. Hard to describe, like the hopeful flipside to the entire riot act record!!

Degi, I had a moment like that with my folks back in 1998 - I was trying to describe to my dad what PJ / Yield meant to me, and I started reciting the words to Faithful to him, more like a poem, and just burst into tears halfway thru! (he didn't); it's a big gulf. Like I said to you - just show them the lyrics to off he goes, and if they don't get it with that at some point in their lives, I'm not sure they ever will..... Sigh

hey, why are you even asking about tremors? DEGI might join, who cares about the others?

heheheee there are just too many good songs and i'm only 19, so i know PJ since like 2 years (even less to be honest) and i still discover the greatness of that band, so i dont have that special relation to ten and the "early days", being born in 1990

danleri

ah, the newbies! So many at PJ shows and they weren't even born or just about born in the early 90's...

And I also see a lot of people here passing on the knowledge to their young kids...

It's all good, spread the love and perpetuate it to the new generations! More PJ fans=more love!

By the way, in case you're wondering, I'm only 33 but I was "musically" aware from the mid-80's on... although I must confess I really got into PJ in the second half of the 90's.
