This was a savage fucking gig. They blew the place apart. Doubt that Eddie was going to jump into the crowd at one stage! Way better than the Dublin gig. The atmosphere was incredible. The spaniards were really up for it and having blokes going around with beer kegs on their backs serving beer, now that was a nice touch
My first PJ gig, and as such, I kept thinking that they were playing just for me.
Seeing the other gigs on this tour, I am so glad that Madrid was where we chose to go ... great venue, crazy fans, of all kinds ...
If I had picked the setlist, this would have been about it ... kept thinking towards the end, well they won't play "x" and are surely going to not play it now ... and then they played it ... and then the next ... this happened with Black, Alive, RITFW, Yellow Ledbetter ... and then they played Little Wing.
At the end, everyone - band, audience - had given everything. Uplifted, nothing left to give.
Play as if it's your last gig. Dance like it's your last gig.
Mmm... Maybe the better thing you can do is to watch it by tourself in youtube, and then speak about the spanish audience. I´ve read about a lot of bands talking about the spanish audience, and all of them say the same thing, spanish audience is effusive and a bit cracy. Ask to Radiohead in Las ventas last year, or to Iggy in Dr. Music ´98... lol.
what a bunch of people getting bored... even with the lights on. xDD
By my way, i got a wonderfull night, thanks to Pearl Jam and thanks to my friends, all of them made that night unforgettable.

EVACUATION!!

No problem! It was the best thing I've ever seen! Shame I got ill from going INSANE for 2 hours to the best band I'll ever see. That and Beck in one week was just savage.
What a band. Listened to the boot again t'other day and Severed Hand just brings back some special memories. I think, for some reason, Grievance was my highlight of the night, one of the more obscure songs I'd been hoping for that I got.
Ofc, Alive was exceptional
Too many cowboys, not enough indians, so just go ape shit!
I may be boring but at least I'm not Jack fucking Johnson.
TV is such shit; let's go outside and ride bicycles, right now!
Madrid 07/09/06 - Little mofo'ing Wing!!!

Thank you for the great pic, Madrid was unreal, and the Spainards (I hope this is right) were amazing. Amazing country, even better people
