as always, absolutely great pictures. thanks for sharing.

Makes sense Dan

I've been to some shows over the years and this was top 3 for me.

Hope we don't have to wait another 12 years for them to come back.

On paper I think this show was the best for me this year. The crowd seemed a bit dull throughout the show but I understand it's forbidden to stand up in your seats in Norway?
I can't imagine to sit down during a PJ show so was glad we had standing tix for this show.
Nevertheless, the band delivered as always.
Never thought I was gonna hear Mankind or Leatherman live!

Eraserhead

Now this for me was the best show of the tour I went to. Double Pink Floyd, hearing Red Mosquito in a long time, Daughter/It's OK, Leatherman, Inside Job, Mankind and Smile.

Anyone know for sure if and when bootlegs from this tour becomes available?

Im still all fired up after this concert. My voice has yet to fully recover, and how Eddie manages to go out and deliver those shows night after night is truly amazing.

Yes, it was a great show. Was kinda worried after Stockholm, which wasnt really my cup of tea (dunno why, probably combination of things?) that things are going downwards after PRG+BER ... Seeing the seated section sitting down thru the set ... BUT ! The band didnt care at all ... and felt a lot of energy from them since the begining. Hail Hail kicked it off and I knew smtg is happening here.

Super show indeed. Had to have few beers later at Fiasco to absorb it... despite the prices ... :shock:
oh, hang on ... Jason and others bought me few! Thanks!

Amazing show to end my tour. I was 2nd row Mikes side with friends (old and new) and we rocked the place. The boys did too. Was so happy when they played smile for Pin and her family who was rocking the rail Stones side. She and her 3 kids, and husband did 4 shows this tour to finally end it in their home Norway I've never seen her happier after the show. They got the harmonica, a tambourine and a few picks. For me the highlight was It's OK tag, heard it for the 2nd time ever this tour and i cried my eyes out. Loved every minute of the show, but that was amazing. Just a few thoughts before I remember anything else.
Oh, and I loved the fact that the cafe we all hung out was right across the street. Great place, great friends. And our hotel was so close, it was like one big meetup before a PJ show. Love the venue, very unusual, wide, but the sound was great IMO.

Yeah, Stockholm for me was just OK. I guess I expected a bit more, but that entire day for me was very anxious and couldn't enjoy the show fully. It's so subjective in the end. My friend for exaple loved it, but she was at the front, very close center

Oh yes, Fiasco is THE place. And Spektrum is a beautiful venue, inside and out

Haha I remember that...

Oh oh, Breath was great too. Screamed of course when I realized what it was
And it was pretty emotional of Eddie to say about a loss of a friend back home. I can't believe how they do it. He was so sad when they played Just breathe I think. ANd cried during it. I saw he definitely had tears in his eyes. Later, he took the wine bottle, looked up, raised it like he's toasting to that friend and then they went into Breath. It's amazing how one can get into a show even though he's really suffering about the loss of a friend. now, THAT'S being a professional. He said that he was really upset and couldn't sleep because off bad news back home, his voice was hurting too, but he really wanted it to be great when they played Oslo because they hadn't played there in forever. Awwww. But we did have a great time.

Amazing pictures! NOw i can reliving the concert......

the great wollerto

I`m starting to believe some Pearl Jam fans are spoiled (lucky you).

I was at both the Stockholm and Oslo show, and I thought the crowds were great. Reading local press reviews, the atmosphere were better than ever seen. Not everyone in seated areas were jumping up and down though, but I was singing my heart out and really enjoying myself, and lots of people around me were standing for large parts of the show.

Obviously I preferred the standing experience in Oslo, and it was mayhem around where I stood, and whenever I glanced at the stands it looked decent there as well. Had a lot of friends seated, and I know they had the concert experience of their lives.

So if the crowd at these shows disappointed you, then I really hope I will get to experience a show where the 'crowd' lives up to the expectations. That surely has to be something special.

Although it was a great show it felt so weird to be a lone stander (at PJ show!) in my sector. Reading from the posts I guess I was lucky that at no point somebody asked me to sit down or expressed any disapproval. But throughout the show I was really hoping to get this message from Eddie (first 40 sec):

Oh well..

Inside Job and Breath Had already heard Leatherman at soundcheck AND seen the "Leather Man outlet" across the street (see http://lokalhistoriewiki.no/index.php/Brugata_7_%28Oslo%29), but still a song being soundchecked far from guarantees it being played. A bit oddly shaped concert hall in my opinion, and not so much energy from the crowd as far as I could tell. Long line for what I think must have been the place to get beer (I didn't drink anything at the venue anyway). Personally wasn't into X much this day. Felt they were much better at Amsterdam and especially at Copenhagen. There was this very nice and good looking security girl ;-) Kind of funny to see Mike frontstage during the X show as if he were a professional concert photographer. Speaking of which, my amateur (at least the camera is ) photos are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/whaley/tag ... 3D3137423/

here's one I'm particularly happy with:
