These were people, real people just like you and me who loved Pearl Jam.
They were probably having the time of their life, and suddenly they're dead.
Tell their family to get over it. Tell them they're exaggerating a little bit.
I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

Trying to the the "Ultimate" PJ fan..
uhm, respecting 9 innocent lives lost at a concert is not "getting all depressed". they went to a show and died. its happened before in history at gigs/sports events/entertainment shows of all sorts....and will eventually happen again.
whos to say it wont be you or someone you know? or that it wasnt someone any of us knew? or that i knew? mind you manners
this was sad to hear the time it happened and it's still a bummer today
going to see PJ is such an ultimate high and makes me feel so great to be living life, to think that the complete opposite could happen is hard to wrap my mind around

i can't believe it's been 8 years. I remember I was going to the racetrack with my dad and he told me about it, and I was so upset he thought we should go home. What a terrible waste. In tororonto '03, it was around the anniversary and ed added "anthony can you see us now" to release. I almost lost it. I cry at everything. I cried at Wall E last night.

exactly! i didn't know them, but just saying that we remember the tragedy is not 'getting all depressed.' if you don't like it, then don't read the thread. that's not asking too much is it?
R.I.P.
No need to be void, or save up on life...
You got to spend it all
I think of this date every year even though I wasn't there... I have some weird connections with dates related to the tragedy.
June 30th, 1998 was my first PJ concert, exactly 2 years before PJ's concert at Roskilde.
After the tragedy, Pearl Jam got support from Pete Townshend because of 11 people who died at The Who's December 3rd, 1979 concert. December 3rd, 1979??? That was the day of my birth.
So... thinking of all of them and hope they are resting in peace.
I gotta say that I agree with this. No reason to get all depressed over this. It really doesn't hit home, I think you are exaggerating a little bit.
Trying to the the "Ultimate" PJ fan..
Come on, man.
First of all, you're telling people how to feel. Don't do that. Never do that. You don't have to get teary eyed about something, but you're in no position to call someone's emotion forced because you don't share it. Your "trying to be the 'ultimate' fan" really irks me though. What does that even me? People are faking sadness over fellow Pearl Jam fans dying at a Pearl Jam concert because it gives them Pearl Jam fandom credibility points? Do you realize how absurd that sounds? I can see no possible way that you were around back then to go through this event and make a comment like this, so I'll chalk it up to you just not understanding it.
And these aren't celebrities. These are real people. These were people with lives who died at the one place that all of us consider our comfort-zone, our sanctuary, the one place where our problems are supposed to be left elsewhere. Shit...

Here's why it matters ... have YOU ever been to a Pearl Jam concert?
Then we could possibly be remembering YOU today, or ME.
These were people, real people just like you and me who loved Pearl Jam.
I hope when I die people will remember me for more than being just a PJ fan.
I have never understood this outpouring of emotion for total strangers in an event like this. I am not saying it's bad or wrong...just something I don't understand. If you were at the concert and traumatized by the event or associated with the band I could see the anniversary holding some significance.
I am not belittling the value of human life or the significance of the loss of their respective family members. I think it is normal for all of us to have empathy toward those who have experienced the loss. The event is a sad commentary on human existence. That we can just trample one another like cattle puts into perspective our own self value and brings into question how civilized mankind really is.
I am not sure how being a PJ fan draws you any closer to these individuals or is an anniversary that you would remember. That being said do you sit at home and weep over the 4113 soldiers killed in Iraq? The 69, 185 dead in the Chinese quake? The seven members of the Challenger mission?

If lifelong bonds can be formed through people from sharing a similar interest (in this case Pearl Jam) in life, then why can't this be achieved also in death? Music transcends everything and it really does make you feel closer to someone if you know that they had the same interests, went to the same events, listened to the same music that you did. This type of connection shouldn't be cut off as a result of death, in fact, it may even become stronger as a result of it.
Like an above poster stated, this was an event everyone can relate to. Pearl Jam concerts have been our haven for years, and suddenly in a moment, that was taken away from 9 people, and consequently from us.
The fact that they all died in a moment that meant something to them, doing something they love, is reason enough to send condolences. It's nothing more than a moment of thought for people who could have been you or me (based around this band that we all Love).
I am sure that any one of the people sending a thought through this thread would easily do the same to a war veteran they met, or family/friend of a victim of any other kind. I know I would.

Ed tryed to get fans to step back, 1,2,3 step back. When that didnt happen he sad- Well, fuck you guys and left the stage.
This is totally innacurate. I have the bootleg from the concert and when the crowd doesn't continue to move back to help get the pile of bodies, Ed, horrified, says 'Aw fuck you guys. PLEASE. I really need your help...I don't think we could live knowing that someone got hurt so bad at a show like this. Okay? PLEASE on the count of three will you take three big steps all at once in this area here would you PLEASE PLEASE for me say yes yeah? (crowd says 'YES') PLEASE on the count of three...three steps back PLEASE one-two-three. One take a step back. Two Take a step back. Three. PLEASE. great. better...' That's the last thing he says and he was seen crying on the monitor right after that because they were finally able to start pulling bodies out from the area where the accident happened.
Your quote totally misrepresented him and is completely heartless. Please have some respect for the nine precious lives that were lost and the band, who was deeply affected by this tragedy.

As someone else pointed out, when you're a PJ fan... AT a PJ concert... JUST like those kids who died... it certainly brings you closer than a soldier who died at a war which has nothing to do with us... or someone who died in space where we've never been. Hopefully no more BUT it could happen at any concert or sporting event. We've all been to concerts... we all imagine we'll come home from them too.
Also, a lot of the bands music afterwards was obviously influenced by what happened... a lot of the songs we love.
I was asked why the big deal a couple of times last year before the Copenhagen concert... the concert where some families were in attendence. I don't get what's so hard to understand?

Well, why should this be discussed at all?
I was there and both what you two guys say are right. Ed lost it for a moment and said "well fuck you guys" and started to cry and left the stage and one of PJ's bodyguards repeated what Eddie said with the "three steps back". At this moment I had been able to come some feets longer back, and some friends of mine, also injured at the first fence said it was absolutely impossible for them to move three feet back. They tried to sort of put their legs on the fence, stretch their arms and move their backs back, but it was SOOOO over-crowded with people and security was very poor. It rained and was probably 14C so a series of all these things caused the accident
Ed was also seen fly-kicking a water-machine when he went backstage. A truly strange night for Mr. Vedder, being told before going onstage that his friend Chris Cornell had just become a father...

(crowd says 'YES') PLEASE on the count of three...three steps back PLEASE one-two-three. One take a step back. Two Take a step back. Three. PLEASE. great. better...' That's the last thing he says and he was seen crying on the monitor right after that because they were finally able to start pulling bodies out from the area where the accident happened.
Your quote totally misrepresented him and is completely heartless. Please have some respect for the nine precious lives that were lost and the band, who was deeply affected by this tragedy.

Can I get a copy of that boot? Or else can you upload it to youtube... it sounds very interesting.
Also, a lot of the bands music afterwards was obviously influenced by what happened... a lot of the songs we love.
I was asked why the big deal a couple of times last year before the Copenhagen concert... the concert where some families were in attendence. I don't get what's so hard to understand?

It was truly the worst experience in my life, and it will be strange going there for the fifth time tomorrow.
I will personally pass those prayers when I am there in front the Orange Stage.
I guess life goes on,

Well, why should this be discussed at all?
I was there and both what you two guys say are right. Ed lost it for a moment and said "well fuck you guys" and started to cry and left the stage and one of PJ's bodyguards repeated what Eddie said with the "three steps back". At this moment I had been able to come some feets longer back, and some friends of mine, also injured at the first fence said it was absolutely impossible for them to move three feet back. They tried to sort of put their legs on the fence, stretch their arms and move their backs back, but it was SOOOO over-crowded with people and security was very poor. It rained and was probably 14C so a series of all these things caused the accident
Ed was also seen fly-kicking a water-machine when he went backstage. A truly strange night for Mr. Vedder, being told before going onstage that his friend Chris Cornell had just become a father...

I guess it was a true hell for Pearl Jam hearing the people in the back singing "Ohhhh, I am still alive"... and people were literally dying in front of them...
