    Oh yeah that's a great setlist too, on the boot it flows really well. Eddie made some changes but also supposedly have the guy tips on how to come up with something that would work. Release opened the first encore. Have you heard the boot ?

    Bought two tickets for my other favorite band today.
    From there on it's less than a month until Pearl Jam makes my summer. B-)

    coming from FL, USA for both amsterdam shows and it's my first time in the country (and europe)

    so far the best advice i've seen online about amsterdam:

    1) don't walk in the bike lanes
    2) DON'T WALK IN THE FUCKIN BIKE LANES

    really hoping for tremor christ on either setlist!

    #3 - Don't walk out of a coffeeshop into a bike lane
    #4 - Learn the Trams routes - There's an app for that...!

    Well that's sound advice. You should pass it on to other people, mainly Dutch people. :D
    It's a wonder i haven't hit anyone yet.

    Tremor Christ would be most welcome.

    The biggest part of me is just so appreciative for this band and everything they have done that I get a little irked when I see posts about wishing they wouldn't play some of the most popular songs both nights. If nothing else, not everyone can go both nights! DTE may be the favorite song of someone who is seeing them for the first time and only going to one of the shows.

    But yeah, I also have that entitled & greedy part that wants the best show for me. I would love NOT to hear Alive. But I'm pretty sure they'll have the range of fans in mind and will give us something each night to be really, really happy about!! Would love Tremor Christ!

    i feel the same way. before a show i always think about how i don't need to hear ANOTHER 8 minute live version of Even Flow or Alive... but then during the concerts i go apeshit and fanboy when they play those songs haha

    I agree 100%. I think it's one of the best cities for walking and just wondering around. Walking around the canal belt is like being in a living museum. Been there on 3 occasions for a total of about 25 days and never once did I feel unsafe.

    Boom Chicago has "Boat like a local", private booking. If we started a list I'm sure we could set it up. I'll write them and get the info... seating, capacity,cost, etc... I already know it is "smoker and drinking friendly"... and if I remember right it was fairly inexpensive. Something like $20 a person +-

    I'll start a list..

    1) myoung321 +1

    Those that don't know: Boom Chicago is an improv comedy club in Amsterdam, (Seth Meyers was a cast member before going to SNL)...
