nice stuf....me shoulda been there!

Stereotype

Ow..aaaah..Help me from myself...I cannot believe it. I've made it again! My second show..Can I handle one more in Venice?! Zagreb was my first show and the most emotionally build up day of my life. I've waited for it for seven years..And they came in my most fucked up year ever, my dad, the one I love the most left me but that's another story... Anyway I wrote this down before..when I heard them live..I went into another state of being after only hearing the first few notes..It was like all of the emotions I am capable of feeling came into realization at the very same time and I had to express them, get them out somehow, otherwise I would explode...It was almost to much for me to handle..It occupied my mind and my body, sucked me inside of it... and I'm glad people were rough around me 'cause somehow It was needed..it felt more real...

>And now this second time..not even a year has passed! If you consider that my first waiting was seven years long this is really the complete opossite, also I am a bit different person after all the shit that happened last year so my state of being was something else, they couldn't save me this time..I was already saved. The first few minutes weren't so intense than the first time, but then it was building up constantly. Is it possible that someone feels that too? Pure happyness and it is very difficult to take it. The emotions are just too strong and happen in such short periods one right after another. The crowd was great, got some punches from the people standing beside me and some from the crowd surfers (there were many). My mood was changing constantly and that was making me very unstable. The thing I will remember forever happened during Footsteps. First I was really happy and smiling..but after the line "If there was a reason.." my voice just broke and I felt very very sad and shed some tears but somehow I couldn't quite let it go..so I was holding it in which then bursted out during Blood in the form of pure energy...It's amazing what some songs make you feel when you hear them live..Eddie interprets them so emotionally..I know you might wonder why I write so much about what I felt...and not what was happening during the songs..but for me that's what it is all about. Music..and lyrics..it fills up your soul with prevision, presentiment of what could have been. I love that. It's the best thing.

The band was fenomenal. They blow me away. The set was fantastic.. many songs that I didn't even hope of hearing. Great musicians. I have such respect for them all. And I get so lucky on the concerts. In Zagreb Eddie shook my hand and looked me in the eyes and now (2nd row)..when they were saying goodbye..he was looking into my eyes for a few seconds and blow me a kiss..and so I throwed him a Slovenian flag (a small one) that he catched and then put it into his back-site trousers pocket. (If anyone has a picture of that happening or a video it would appreciate it). Please

I also recorded some small clips (without sound - I don't know why they made a photo- camera that has a shooting feature without audio but ok).
I'll post the links as soon as I upload them.

I hope I will get some sleep today. On the way home on the bus I couldn't (watching the land and the sky and having three million memories flying in my head) and in the morning at six a clock I was home..I couldn't sleep eighter. Can't wait for Venice on friday. That will be my third show..such a nice number. Also I have this strange feeling that this will be my last time. I hope I'm wrong.

Edit: Here are the silent videos, kind of silly..but some might still hear voices, voices in their heads

Just perfect... maybe I was a bit to drunk, but was so into the show...the best PJ show I have been seen(Ljubljana,Zagreb, Munchen)....Maybe somebody saw me on the left side of the stage...with a red/black soccer jersey(Pearl jam and 98) at the off he goes sign..hehe...I was trying to get their attention to play it by waving with T-shirt for several minutes towards the sign....today I realised that I probably looked stupid ...but does not matter...the show was so great and I was so into it, so who gives a shit.... The setlist probably couldn't be better even if I selected it...only black was missing after footsteps ....otherwise, highlights for me...opener SOMETIMES, evenflow, betterman/save it for later, why go, present tense, NO MORE WAR, hatred down, baba o'riley, god's dice, I got shit, down, INSIDE JOB,FOOTSTEPS, DISSIDENT, SAD, ....hmmmm...seems like more or less everything

The worst part was that arena was only 60-70% full. I can't belive that...how is it possible in Munchen???? But than again it only means that true fans were inside and I think we did a great job, as did the band....

P.S.Hello to Venezuelan friend we met....we called him Hugo Chavez imediately we found out he was from Venezuela...and also to this German girl dancing near him, and a Brazilian guy next to her(with Brazilian flag)...we were on fire the whole show

What a fukin setlist.

benjaminhjort

Fantastic setlist and a great show.

Just to bad that the 'early entrance'-process turned out to be nothing less than a catastrophe...

Rijeka

Awesome show, crazy croatian crew was there too. Unfortunately I'm not attending Poland tonight with most of them, but Munich was amazing show and cool setlist. How beautiful is to hear Present tense and save it for later.

Well, here are some clips upped by me on youtube.

this is not for you

Christ, 4 concerts of this tour and already 51 song played . Most of bands play about 25-30 songs per tour, and hell yes, they have different setlist for every show. And there u come and ask that ironic question :(

elephantt

great setlist, the band played realy great. But the show in munich can not be compared to the show in Zagreb or Prague... For some reason the venue was not even full...the crowd was like they where at a movie or a theater visit.
I think, the thing is... when you live in a city (Munich,Paris,Berlin, Vienna...) and you have the "luck" to go every 3rd day to a great concert, at a some point you accept this things as granted and normal.
Pearl Jam concerts in Brasil, Croatia, Slovenia, Poland where always more visited and packed with energy because its a rare visited region by the band, and the people are realy into it.

so long

Horos

This set-list rivals any from '06. Could be the best of the last couple years. Gorge '05 excluded.

I know it's already been said ... but it can't be said enough ... amazing setlist!!! So many songs I can completely relate to ... Sad, Down, Present Tense ... Hearing Footsteps was a dream come true ... It was my second show and for me it was even better than last year in Zagreb. Everything was just perfect! Seeing so many people with the same passion for PJ ... it just makes me smile ... There's still hope for this world ...

Their music has helped me through some of the darkest times in my messy life. I was struggling with anorexia in high school ... so Alive has such a special meaning to me ... I think about it everytime I hear Ed singing "We're all still alive ... " It's really a miracle that I'm still here ...Their music keeps me going and I'm very thankful for that! Words are simply not enough to express my feelings ... so I'll just stop right now and let the music do the talking ...

Stereotype, thanx for your videos! I can see myself in the crowd ... now I know I wasn't just dreaming ...

See you all in Venice ...

vienna was fucking brilliant last year!!!

It was my first PJ concert. Athough I'am fan from the first album, I just couldn't make it before this year. After Zagreb 2006, I had to come, and Munich was just a place to be.
I was blown away. I still have flashes of some scenes and rush of emotions afterwards. I cant point out the best thing... setlist, sound, the group... excellent.

If You watch the video closely, You can see Eddie browse through the crowd, looking very pleased (as he said in one moment), and just before he starts singing again, he points to the crawd and then back at himself. He says: "I remember You too".

He was looking at the crazy Croatian buch (link at the bottom of the page http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=154094&page=463 (by Rijeka)), where "Pajo" was holding a poster saying "Zagreb remebers". I can tell, I was just behind Pajo. "Rijeka" was in front of me.
That only pushed us 'over' a little bit more.

The best concert of my life. Before that I could not understand why my Croatian friends were going like three times on PJ concert each year. Now, I want to go again. Tomorrow, next week,...

SoonForgotten2

Awesome, awesome show.

Probably the best of my 15 PJ gigs. The band was on fire and the vide was great. If Wembley can manage to top it, I will be seriously impressed.

I'll post some pretty badass photos I took once I get back to London this weekend. Damn was that some good shit.

Well the lights went on and they played Barbara O'Riley. So it was pretty clear, particulary when Eddie said "It's been an honour to be the opening band for The Who", I guess.

Berlin was sold-out last year btw ;-). I guess the problem with PJ and Germany is that there really are one or two concerts too many this year here. I know many guys who said "No, we don't go to Munich with you. They're playing Southside this year". They're in the southern region this year THREE times (Southside, Munich, Novarock is more or less the South as well), the north has Copenhagen and Hurricane, the west Düsseldorf and the gig in the Netherlands.
The only reason to complain about something would be that the gig seemed really short compared to Berlin last year. is that only a subjective judgement?
Anyway: GREAT SHOW! I'm still missing some of the more usual songs (my 2nd PJ gig only ;-)) but as I won't go to the festivals this year, I get the feeling that I won't see that many more in Düsseldorf as well. But I certainly won't complain about it.

Mine

Yes, It almoust looked like germans were in minority. They should have organised the dates better, Europe is tougher to tour if you are not mainstream. If the venues were spread evenly trough europe it could have been a sold out tour. I think the price of the tickets (of any band not only pj) is discouraging to the general fan.

Final Bow

Great Setlist and excellent performances of the songs (eg. Present Tense was much better than last year).

Probably fans from nearly every country of the world attended at the concert. I met so many different nations - lot's of fun!!
