*** Stockholm Fanviews Here 7/7/12 ***

Thanks to everyone who wrote in reply to the experiences of my first Pearl Jam concert day. That day sure was one of the greatest in my life along with the days my two children were born and my wedding day. I really feel part of the pj fan community in a different way after this...

It's fun reading all your stories about the evening. I was so happy Eddie mentioned the Kool Kat Club, since I was there that night. Sadly it's been turned into offices now, it's a great place for a club. So no, it didn't sink

My finest moment was when we in the audience were going du-ru-ru-tu-du-ru-ru and Eddie was singing "we belong...we belong together". Brilliant show, hope they come back soon.

After some problems with the new site I can finally post my thoughts of the my first Pearl Jam concert.

I've been watining for this concert since 2000 and it was an AMAZING show! Couldn't be happie,r I still gets goosebumps thinking about it. I think the setlist was great!! Love to get to hear Crazy Mary!

When they started playing RITFW with the houselight on I thought that we maybe shouldn't get YL but I'm happy they did. I've been to alot of concert at the Globe Arena and I can't think I've ever experienced such an atmosphere with the crowd. Everybody was standing as I could se and rocking och singing along. I got the feeling that the band were abit surprised about the crowd and seemed very happy.

Can't wait to get the bootleg of this!

Day of the gig, I was walking along the canals with my family, just chilling, we spot another dude in a PJ shirt. I look at him, he looks at me (both in PJ shirts) and we both just break into huge smiles. Mom-in-law asked my wife if I knew the guy. "No", she replied. "That's just the atmosphere between fans when Pearl Jam is in town". Awesome!

It explains it so well & is so true.

Unfortunately I got to the venue late in Stockholm, and didn't manage to get one of these t-shirts.
If anyone got a MEDIUM or LARGE and would be willing to part with it, please PM me...
It is the only one I'm missing from the shows I attended...
Thanks!!

Slow? ;-) Sorry, I also got only the red one... I love it though!

WhyNotSweden

The Concert of decades in Stockholm, as a news magazine called it. The show got 5 out of 5 in the three main news papers in Sweden. Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet & Expressen.

Finally Sweden got to witness why I love PJ

It was brilliant! I've been telling people we got 30+ songs in almost three hours and they almost find it hard to believe, and that of course isn't the only thing brilliant with this gig.

Nevermind90

cheers

The bootleg will soon be here!! :thumbup:

I think about this concert a lot, as it was my first PJ show. I remember the moment when the guys came out on stage. I didn´t scream, I didn´t cry, I didn´t ... anything. I was just starring. :shock: :shock: I just couldn´t believe it! And then Eddie started singing, and hearing his voice live for the first time ... that was unreal. His voice was better than ever, it sounded better live. Everyone started singing along after 2 seconds ...

Second song was Corduroy and that was when my chock disappeared and I went totally crazy. It was like being in paradise for 3 hours and it felt like the 14 000 others were there with me, including PJ. Even the guy who sold snacks and beer started jumping around like crazy towards the end. The Globe Arena could have lifted and flown away and nobody would have noticed. It probably did.

This video captures the beginning very well:

My impression was that PJ didn´t know what they could expect from Sweden. So they did their best, and it didn´t take long for them to realize that they were very, VERY welcome. The air was thick with love. I love it how you can see Boom smiling in the back when everyone starts singing. The love was massive! And they gave everything back to us.

I just have to see them again.

I'm really looking forward to it, 3 more weeks to go & finally we'll be able to re-experience that fantastic concert! Thanks for posting the video, oh I got goose bumps all over my body watching it. And yeah, Eddie was really enjoying the moment, connecting to the crowd, I love his smile of joy looking at the audience. Thanks whishlisa!

That Stockholm t-shirt - I love mine so much that I told my gf to wash it VERY carefully . So I don't wear it much.
