We had very good seats. Next to the stage so we saw the setlist before the show with the camera

We took a picture and looked at it later. If you had the change would you look or dont you want to know what they'll play before the show? We didn't look, that would have been so weird!

I did the same thing and I must admit that I did look However, I could only get a picture of the encore side of the list not the whole thing, I was on the floor. I couldn't reists the urge. Yeah, it was weird knowing what was coming up but I was pleasantly surpised when they decided to add State Of Love and Trust.

Anyway, the show was really good, enjoyed it more than Berlin 2 (Berlin 1 was better still). The setlist was great, some nice surpises and I finally got Off He Goes, one of my all time favorites. The crowd was great and I loved that they had set up a separate front section. I had crappy seats, but a friend's GA pdf ticket, hotel reception copy machine and some imagination got me up front although we got to the venue pretty late

This was my first Pearl Jam concert ever. I am still blown away and my body is full of energy from last night. One of the best nights of my life. I had very high expectations, but it turned out even better than my expectations! This is it. Something has changed for me. I am very grateful to have been there, to have seen them FINALLY and that the crowd was out of their mind last night!!! God ... I need to do this again ... and again ... Proud to be a fan of this great band.

Now, you know why we´ve been doing this for years!....hooked for life in a good way! See you next time!

What a great show! The only one for me this tour but I am not complaining. From the night before to after the show it was alllll goooooood.

I can only repeat what others have said, the athmosphere and crowd were amazing. We were standing at the end of the 10C area - dancing, singing and every now and then looking out at the rest of the venue = awesomesauce.

Definite highlights for me were Garden, All Those Yesterdays and Love Reign O'er Me, which the band absolutely nailed.

(Also, I'd like to add that I all but called the opener. Before the show I said "They should open with Elderly Woman". That's a win, right?

PS. To the guy who thought people were booing Boom (if you're reading this): We weren't. :thumbup:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOm hehe

Incredibly good show that started out on fire and ended even stronger (in this case, "Elderly Woman" was the kindling for the bonfire).

The last set was out of this world, and I'd say Boon likes it in Stockholm (he and Mike on "Crazy Mary" was kick ass)

Best quote of the evening (in a Swedish accent), "I have waited 16 years for that..."

Maybe to put things into a little "perspective," the last couple of shows have been something special. Period.

If you're thinking about what bootleg to buy, when I first bought bootlegs, it was $24 for one disc and $42 for two. My two favorites were incomplete cuts from a Zurich show ("I'm special, so special, attention...) and a terrible recording with a Daughter tag of the Stones ("Children, it's just a shot away...")

I only say this because you (and I) are spoiled - Buy them all (Berlin1, Berlin2, and Stockholm). You won't be disappointed.

This was my 5 Pearl Jam show - and what a show!!!!
I have never experienced Eddie in such a happy mood (Wine has a great effect on people.....:-)) - one Hell of a front man.
The crowd was really really good - it seemed like everybody knew all the lyrics.
I must say that the setlist was great. There was the Big ones for the people Who haven't seen the band in 12 Years!!!!!!! And it had the small gems for the rest of us (ATY, garden, Off he goes)
Highlights for me was:
Garden!!!!
Off he goes - a long time personal favorite, Well since i heard the seattle II 2000 boot. And a first for me
Jeremy - My first time 5 show!!??
DTE - the crowd has really taken this song a new place!
State of Love and Trust - Fun to se the band in doubt about what to play. The looked at each other shaking their heads. Then Ed asked the crowd what to play - State was shouted and Ed turned to the rest if the band and made eyecontact and they kicked into a rocking version of the song!

Small town as opener - waaaaaay better than I have had expected from the comments on this board. "I just wanna scream HELLO" nice start!
This was a real Fun show to be at. Great band who seemed like they really did have a great time, great great crowd - thanks you guys!

Man I am looking forward to Copenhagen.

This was my first PJ show and it was just perfect!! I've waited more than 10 years to see them live and travelling all the way from Israel was totally worth every second. I actually saw Stone Gossard 4 hours before the show walking towards the Modern museum and I felt like a 13 years old Justin Biber's fan

Did anyone take some pics or vids of the show? It would be great if someone could send me some of them.

Thanks a lot,
Elad

Hi guys! Here's what Eddie said in Swedish. Here it goes.

Good evening!
I can't realize that it was 12 years ago since the last time we saw each other.
Why haven't you called??
We are really happy that you all are here.
(and this is true)
You look better than ever!

In Swedish:

God kväll!
Jag kan inte fatta att det är 12 år sen vi sågs sist.
Varför har ni inte ringt??
Vi är jätteglada att ni är här.
(and this is true)
Ni är snyggare än någonsin!

By the way. I love Peru! Txs for the wristband Floripa guy!

Hi there dear PJ fans.

This was my first PJ concert and I loved every second of it.
If I ever get a chance to see them again I will take it.

I'm so happy and I'm a bit sad too because I have to wait so long for the next time now (I hope it's not gonna be another 12 years...) The show in Stockholm was more than I could hope for. I've been waiting for this moment sooooo loooong and I was a bit worried before the show, that it would in some way backfire. Maybe I remember it wrong, but the show in Stockholm 2000 felt a bit... lame. Not because of the band, but because of the audience. Swedes can sometimes be a bit hard to please, but OMG how wrong I was. Oh my God-Oh my God!

I thought I would cry during the show, but I didn't. I was just so happy and blown away then. My tears came the day after, when I read the review in aftonbladet. I stood there on the platform ready to enter the train to go home with the paper infront of me crying like a little child. So beautiful review, it captured exactly how I felt.

And I have to say that the closed section infront of the stage was perfect. I never thought I would be so close to the band without being squeezed. Super! I sure hope that the rest of the gigs in Oslo and Copenhagen will be great even though I won't be there. Have fun!!

Super Vedder

It was excellent as others have already said, mike is a legend who acts like he is 20 whilst on stage, so entertaining to watch, I love them!! Show 17 tonight, bring it!!!!!!

Hey dear friends, since Saturday that's how I feel about all of you guys even without knowing you.

I have been to a few Pearl Jam shows before, but what I experience in Stockholm before, while, and after the show was just amazing. Communicating with other 10C members and other great fans of this band was an experience I have never had before, at least not as strong.

the show was awesome, except for the fact that through the problem on the 10C presage I ended up having this crappy B9 seats which a guy next to me asking me when they normally play the songs he heard on the radio. And as posted before, he wondered why we didn't like that long haired guy on the piano. com'on. But still it was amazing and I felt privileged to be part of this.

Even if music wise it wasn't the best Pearl Jam show I heard, (sound and solos) the energy I felt was overwhelming. Thanks Pearl Jam, thanks Stockholm.

By the way, I was part of the guys screaming their lungs out at the pub before the show, as mentioned in the concert review, that was really cool. People there were just amazing.

Hope to meat more of you soon.

Oh yes, I can see why PJ fans are travelling around the world ... together with PJ. I´m still completely blown away after this, my first show. I was really nervous the week before the gig, like some others here, I had very high expectations and I thought that it might not be as I had imagined, cause that sometimes happen when your expectations are soooo high. But, shit, it was even better than I imagined. I need to do this again. I can see why everyone is hooked, I now belong to those people, yes ....

Hearing Eddie´s voice live for the first time was the most beautiful thing ... I have goosebombs writing this. And by the way, I LOVED Eddie´s Swedish!! I think he should speak Swedish more often. Sexy accent ...I also LOVED Eddie´s joking about that they should do a complete Sweden Tour sometime. I´ll call you, Eddie, and then we can arrange something like that ...
