*** Rock Werchter Festival Fanviews 29/6/07 ***

Math

I've been a fan for a long time (real long,Mother-Love-Bone long time) myself and I must confess that Werchter (for reasons that even I don't fully understand) was my first PJ show (boooo me).

As it was my first show, I wanted to enjoy it as much as possible so I didn't jump, shout, danced, yell, sing, get my nose broken in the pit... I wanted to HEAR the music more than anything else.

All that to say that I send my apologies to all the guys who have been disapointed by the audience. I'm in part responsible for it being lame.

The fact is that I didn't want to SEE Pearl Jam, I wanted to LISTEN to them. Many PJ songs (in fact all songs but Dirty Franck) can be linked to a certain state of mind in my life. They all have different but equally important significance to me.

But I promise that now that I've Heard them, I'll be more supportive and exhuberant the next time I see them.

So, I'm sorry... But not that much.

I understand...completely.

That's one of the reasons why we attended more concerts in a row:
one for just listening, just watching, absorb the atmosphere, one for going comletely crazy, to get high, to sing your longs out, to be silent and listen, to watch, to close your eyes and dream, to be part of the whole crowd, to be alone with the band.....

8 songs not played??
Do you happen to know what songs? And where in the setlist (end, halfway, encores?)

"De Morgen" (a belgian paper) published this as the original setlist (don't know if it truly was):

1. Last Exit
2. Animal
3. Brain Of J.
4. World Wide Suicide
5. Once
6. Dissident
7. Army Reserve
8. Do The Evolution
9. God’s Dice
10. Curduroy
11. Jeremy
12. Why Go
13. Given To Fly
14. Even Flow
15. Life Wasted
16. No War
-
17. Smile
18. Better Man
19. Crazy Mary
20. Alive
-
21. Baba O’Riley
22. Yellow Ledbetter


And this is what they actually played:

1. Go
2. Animal
3. Brain Of J.
4. World Wide Suicide
5. Once
6. Dissident
7. Do the Evolution
8. Gods' Dice
9. Corduroy
10. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
11. Why Go
12. Given to Fly
13. Even Flow
14. Life Wasted
15. Porch
-
16. No More
17. Smile
18. Better Man/Save it for Later
19. Alive
-
20. Baba O'Riley


If thru, Go came instead of Last Exit,
Army Reserve, Crazy Mary and Yellow Ledbetter were dropped
but Porch was played,
and Elderly Woman replaced Jeremy

Pegasus

No More was always at the beginning of the first encore and Betterman was not on the original setlist (got it right in front of me, not at home so can't scan it).
Also YLB was in brackets so planned as 'might not be played' I presume.

Did wonder why they opened with Go instead of Last Exit...

I was lucky enough to get Jeff's setlist after the show and the set list Kontroll posted is exactly right with the parenthesis around Y. Led like Pegasus said.
It looked like Ed could not handle one more song under whatever influence he was on..."go make babies" he must have really missed home he said that like 3 times straight!

mmm.. strange, there's 2 different setlists (you have Better Man on yours?) so considering the source of mine they must have changed the encores just before the show.

Yeild2PearlJam

Betterman IS NOT on the set list that i have, so i think its the same one

Butterfly_Thoughts

obviously they didn't have time to play all those extra songs , they must have been just for alternatives, probably wanted to see which ones fitted best at that particular moment.
I would have loved Last Exit and Crazy Mary of course, but Baba and Smile did the job just fine
He kept saying go make babies, it was very funny, and very ironic, considering the ugly smelly drunken/stoned men surrounding me. That was the last thing on my mind that night, eventhough i always do take Eddie's advices seriously....
