    It's been more than a month now...
    I was in Paris (great Pearl Jam but unfriendly people around) and Vienna (which was a great show as well) but still I can't forget any second of Antwerp. This really was the best show I've ever been to! Maybe it is because it was my first PJ show... but I'd never felt such an intense emotion shared by thousands of people in my whole life. I get to cry anytime I listen to Black...

    Thank you so much to Eddie and the band for being so good... Thank you so much to all of you who were there too...

    See you next year!


    I've been to three shows and all three of them were so amazing, magnificent, unimaginable, energetic, unique... . Arnhem was very very emotional... my first PJ-show ever... I almost got tears in my eyes! Antwerp... for the first time in Belgium... an amazing crowd... just listen to Black on the boot! And then Berlin... me standing on the first row at Mike's side... you really saw the expressions on his face... Ed shaking with a bottle of wine RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!!!!! What more can I say?
    So glad I've seen this three great shows (the best of my life).
    A little bit sad I could'nt make more. (Hopefully next year!!!!!)

    Many thanks to the band for... everything!

    Sportpaleis looked giant but during the show it felt like pretty intimate because of those intense emotions...I was glad only few people started moshing but...they were punished so those guys didn't get behaving worse and worse...people must have had a really great time in common, they sounded really grateful after all those long long years of waiting almost in vain... I cannot imagine Pearl Jam will miss either Holland or Belgium ever again!

    Well, I thought it was kinda small...how many people attended? Maybe 12,000? But the show was absolutely great...I can remember discussion with Dutch people if Arnhem was better than Antwerp or vice versa. I think both shows were absolutely great. They played Release in Arnhem, which was a highlight for me. On the other hand, Crazy Mary rocked the joint in Antwerp...so...in the end, I stick with both.

    Security guards told us there that Sportpaleis was at maximum capacity >>> 21.000 ! We were told that's the exact number of the sold tickets. Maybe it sounds too much...I am not good at numbers...
    But, goddamit, the venue was packed!:)

    Now gimme some truth!!!
    These numbers always differ if it's a great show:)

    RELEASE was I honestly hoped for(so I am not the only one:D)...and guess what was the first song I heard after 10 long years of f****n waiting???
    I deserved it!
    Thank you PJ!
    One thing I know for sure: my 3 shows were altogether the best shows of my life so I'm not supposed to decide which one of them was closest to perfection!

    That many? I thought it was less...well, the arena looked very intimate...if compared to the Arnhem soccer stadium, Sportpaleis was better to see PJ live...

    Quite different venues, that's true, a little little bit more polite crowd in Arnhem IMHO, but both had the absolutely positive and supportive atmosphere...Could any of you turn back time to 29/08, please ???

    And yes it was 17.000 people and i was one of the 30 people who got a free duo-ticket from the radio station Studio Brussels...

    Intimate shows like Rotterdam '92 must be absolutely sweet
    but IMHO

    -it does not matter which venue they play in...PJ rocks! (e.g. Gelredome)
    -in Belgium it's said to be really hard to get tix to PJ! So I wouldn't take a risk for a club show...let them just play in a venue you can comfortably get tickets, eh?!!!

    yup it's hard to get tickets here sometime...well almost annytime specially when they are only sold through internet...but now for me that would not be a problem i have a good source now if it comes to tickets....i got my email confirmation about the Antwerp tickets punctually at 9.00 am just when the selling started....

    Yeah, I surely did not want to miss PJ in the Netherlands. So, me and my friends were standing outside the postoffice at 1 am in the night. The office was opened at 10 am....so nine long and cold hours waiting...but it was fun...

    WOAHHH!!!

    That's what I call enthusiasm...with friends I can imagine it a funny situation!
    And it was so worthwhile!!!
    Next time they should play a show in one of the so very spectacular squares of Gent...that would be awesome and somewhat like Pistoia!!!
    Let's keep our fingers crossed:D!

    The 'Vooruit' in Gent would be a dream come true for me.
    But it is a very small (but cosy) venue, so I guess I can only dream about PJ ever playing there...

    My garden is already booked for their intimate London gig. I'm throwing in the beer, wine and BBQ (veggies will be catered for)! You're invited if you want!

    They can also crash at my house if too drunk because the next day they will have their official gigs at Twickenham Stadium which is very close to where I live!

    So... Belgium and London sorted.... :D
