*** Antwerp Fanviews Here 30/8 ***

belgianvince

Oh my god!! what a night!

Antwerp's show was just amazing!!
I was the day before in Arnhem. That was great, but yesterday was the longest hard-on ever!!!!

Little (true) story about yesterday (from a friend of mine who worked in the local crew yesterday - f*****' asshole ;-):
In the afternoon Eddie came in the local production office and asked if there was a curfew. He said that if there was none, they would play the whole night!!!!! unfortunately, they had to stop at 0.00. WE ALMOST HAD OUR 4hours SHOW!!!!!

Can't wait for the next time I'll smoke a pot with PJ playin' Indifference just in the front of me!! (when I saw jeff's double-bass during the change-over, I knew they would play Indifference!!)

thanx Matt for the drums solo (but it was better in Arnhem...)!!!

THANX PJ!!!

good thing I have savings...a house can wait

Julien

This is Obi Once, these belgium keyboards are weird

What a kick ass show loved every momoent, again met up w/ Buru before the show, after getting a ride from Pearl Wax (dude u rock) waited 2 hours to get in and had 2nd row spot in front of Mike for 1.5 hours. Ran into 2 mad scots frm this forum.

Still VERY happy they played Present Tense. Nice treats were also In Hiding, Unemployable, Big Wave, Small Town, Hunger Strike :cool: (Stockdale sounded good) the whole set was awesome... Compared to yesterday this was more intimate and a wee better setlist!

imho the crowd was better tuesday, a lot of pushing and grabbing things yesterday, but F* it, I had a great time! these people were clearly very anxious to c the band play.

Gonna go now enjoy Gent 3 more days.

Thanks Pearl Jan for 2 special nights and Pearl Wax for being the perfect Belgium host the 2nd nite!

The crowd hardly moved......They didn't even notice that Pearl jam were playing in front of them or what??? I'm somewhat disapointed of the behaviour of crowd....

Let me guess, you were NOT on the left side of the stage...

Julien

I was on the right side, secodn row, and 3 or 4 jerks always tried to get the front line... They were completely drunk and were there only to disturb..
Some of those "fans" who only like "Alive" and "Jeremy"...
Otherwise, I think teeh crowd was good. A bit excited of course, but it is normal, when you think we have been waiting so long...
Best show of my life...

Wencke

the left side was definitely moving way to hard at some point. I was sitting in one of those seats, and had a good view over the first rows of the crowd and got a bit scared at a certain moment, coz you could really see them uncontrollably moving from front to back and pushing all over. At that point i was hoping Eddie would say something about "being careful and taking care of eachother"... But eventually everything turned out alright.

BTW: these last 2 shows, were my first 2 PJ-shows ever, after 15 long hard years But i'm blown away!!!!! It was worth every f*** minute and every cent!

But I felt sooooooooo stupid and jealous (especially yesterday, since i was seated) that i hadn't join 10C earlier. There were a LOT of people there just going to "some concert", having only 1 PJ-album at home...
Wish i was there with you, 10C-people, in the front, screaming your heart out, enjoying it, rocking the place, and truly feeling the music! It was nice seeing you doing that. Respect!

Next time i'll be there with you! Definitely!!!

But what a great experience it was! Think I'm addicted now... )

You'll be there with us next year... Let's cross teh fingers for a show (or several) in 2007 !!!

PJ finally played Belgium, and how!
It's like I've been dreaming, this morning I woke up with no voice but still floating. this was my first Pearl Jam show, but it has set the standard very high.
What a pitty that they couldn't play all night, but there were highlights enough in those 2hours
Given To Fly, Present Tense, Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Black, Better Man, Crazy Mary, Indifference, Hunger strike,baba o'riley, yellow ledbetter actually all 25 songs.
although I was crushed by all sides (second row, left side) at some moments, I couldn't be bothered. pearl jam was rocking and there was no way that I would leave.
I'm looking forward to paris (11/9) berlin (23/9) and belgium (2007)

Glad to hear you made it Sammer! :-)

god that was my first PJ show but it was ssoooo great I couldn't believe that they were actually THERE.....they all did a great job....I clapped extra hard for Boom....now I feel a bit empty...what to do...crap

Jamal

Leaving out the crappy seats I got (but hey, there were some even crappier) it was a killer show.

It was my first one and they blew me away. It was also nice to hear Andrew together with Ed.
Wolfmother rocked the house and warmed our hearts for the boys of PJ to slip right on in and feel at home.

I would be honoured to welcome all of them back next year!

P.S. : didn't see any 'message pit' badges ... :?

Unfortunately, i was not lucky enough, to be in the first rows....i only managed to e in the middle of teh arena, as there were 2 blokes making sure, i was not going to go any further....and none of them woud have given me a lift for a slam...which is quite weird for a roch show isn't it?

I'm really looking forward to see them in Paris, and i'll hopefully make it earlier, to the show, like this i'll be able to top thebarrier, but in Paris, i think they will be some crowd surfing as therer were some in 96 and 2000 whan they last toured to Paris.

I hope they'll start out with something else than Corduroy, as the 2 shows i've intended so far ,have began with this song...Been waiting so long to see them, and i'm already moaning...

I don't know what I would have done to myself if I had to miss such a great show. did you survive?
although I can't compare I got the feeling we were given a special treat.
I'm so glad that I could change the date of my exam from 'the day after' to friday, not that I able to study at this point, I'm still recapturing those magic moments.

Jeeez!!!!! The greatest hits show last night in Arnhem kicked ass, but tonight was really unbelievable!

From the sigh of relief the (Belgian) audience gave when the boys (finally, after 15 years) took the stage, to Hunger Strike. This was one helluva night!!!

Damn, I thought 2 shows in 2 days could satisfy my apetite for the next 5-6 years, but I want more. I need more....

Hopefully they'll honour their promise to return next year.

Peace and props to you Belgium fans from a long time Boston fan...
you guys deserved a stellar show and Hunger Strike to boot! (excuse the pun)...

I will be purchasing this Bootleg for sure..
