holy fuckin fuck.
that was the best show that i have been to , i know that sounds a big call but everything was right-must start by the biggest thanks to LONDON JAM for hooking us up with 10c tixs as we were second row on mikes side.set list blew my tiny mind-so many priceless moments ,to many to mention but if i was the dude that got taken on stage by ed to sing i believe in miricles i would have died on the spot the happiest man in the solar system

reffering to the crowd, so that could be a hint about boots

Hey, Hinny
No need to call me, you know I was there with you guys in spirit anyways.
Sandra texted me a few times, so did Niko telling me about Rats and Sandra after the show telling me how it all happened. Awesome!
Im happy for you guys. Who got the tambourines and the setlists?

Tanya got a setlist. Kartik got a Mike pic. Emily got Matt's sweat band. This 8 year old Norwegian girl who was lining up with her mum next to me was handed a tambo.

This is the best setlist ever!!!

so awesome, so incredibly awesome, very happy for Sandra, she was completely over the moon. With this and Wembley, I guess I could die right now, but I still have Nijmegen and Werchter

In Sint Niklaas ... "FLITS" 142 grrrr

Even the speed ticket I'm expecting after the nice pic some speedcops made when I was on my way to Dusseldorf will not ruin the memory of this gig :-)

Damn Cops

Although in theory Germany has no speed limit at motorways ... Hm but that's another topic.

GREAAAAAAAAAAAT SHOW! I don't know how they do it but with every show I attended so far (Berlin, Munich and now Düsseldorf) they seemed to top themselves (at least in my opinion).

Greetings btw. to Scott and Ryan, the two Americans I met at the central station in D'Dorf :-). We had a great time.

well, I misunderstood that one: thought it was "you can drive as fast as you want when going to Germany" but you actually have to be in Germany

(was in Belgium)

As long as they don't catch you ;-). The problem with German motorways: Most times there are those road signs with speed limits and then you have to follow them.

That's nothing compared to the many guys waiting in the queue for hours and then got "caught in the act" peeing on the fields beside the Dome paying 10 Euros to the authorities :-)

The show was simply incredible and was far beyond any expectations. When I read the Wembley setlist I thought that it couldn't be topped but...
Unfortunately this was my only gig this summer I could attend but I'm happy that it was at least one of the best if not even THE BEST. I didn't expect it but the crowd was great. I had a 10c tic and I was standing beside three nice guys from the States and one of them asked me about the german pit behaviour and if I expect it to be as wild as London and I said "No, I can't believe it. Usually germans are not that full of spirits". Well, after the first chords of Whipping I was washed away I didn't see the boys again to tell them that I must have been wrong. I have seen many rock shows in Germany before but even at i.e. Maiden or Metallica there wasn't this kind of energy (please don't blame me for that comparison, it's just to tell how great it was).
I met one of the guys after the show at the train station but had to catch my train so I couldn't talk longer to him. I hope you all got home safe and for those going to the next shows: Have a great time!

Thank you!

We got 1 setlist and Rats was NOT on it.. Ed just suddenly decide to play it..:o

I saw a sign asking them to play it ;-()))) right in front of me... He took the paper from her (Sandra she's called I know now), played the song (forgot the lyrics, huh?) then poured some of his red wine over the paper and gave it back.

a real nice one! was it a soldout show btw??? how many fans were there to rock???

13400 fit into ISS dome and it was nearly sold out.

Organisation was crap:

Agreed, After 2h waiting security decided to not take it serious anymore, but then I already missed the pre-bands.

cyclops wrote:

But as a good Belgian we found a solution: security was not that good in securing access to lower levels and we managed to find a spot on the stairs not too far from stage

I found a pink wristband

(where shall I put it?)

We waited for 3 hours in the rain but it was worth every second of it.

Normally on mornings like this, Pearl Jam would be receiving $14.95 from me. :(

There is not enough time in this German Internet cafe to tell about this show. European Pearl Jam shows are an out of body experience...
Got right in front of Jeff 2nd row (the best place to be) and he was rocking out the whole night! The whole band was in a great mood, ed just about lost it when the crowd was chanting their praises to him. I could see the tears start to well up in his eyes. There was so much great interaction with the fans the whole night, they truly felt at home. Im open! what!!?? the entire tme the crowd was SILENT just letting it all sink in...was this set list really happening??!!
Sometimes as an opener was especially great to hear, considering the last time i heard it was in San Fran where he forgot the words to the chorus and just skipped the song entirely. The band ripped into whipping and Ed made sure to set the tone of the show by smashing a small light stand just to the left of him with his mic stand--i knew this show was destined to be legendary!
so much more details...but simply typing this is just too much for me to handle. this was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life!
one awesome Jeff pick later, along with a sore body and even more sore throat i am grateful to have even been in the building for this show.


wow.

doodie on a stick

FUCK! I am an ASSHOLE!!! i am in Venlo, about an hour away and I could not confirm a way to get home after the show so I decided not to (plus no tickets). What the hell was I thinking not going?!?!?!?

great set list!!

Thin Hair

flew back from Dusseldorf this morning, and have to say this was an amazing show. Met some fantastic people and was 2 rows right in front of Mike, closest i have ever been. Some classic songs from the band, and great of Ed to bring some guy up from the audience during 'I believe in miracles' , the guy looked like a kid in a sweet shop, lucky bastard! Got a rare Stone guitar pic and now looking forward to Nijmegen....see you there!

was miracles acoustic or electric? i love acoustic miracles...

...more electric than this version isn't possible :-))
The encore started with Ed telling the crowd again that they played in Germany 21 times before but never played Düsseldorf and that he would like to get to know someone from this town so he spotted this guy with the Ramones shirt (I don't actually think he was from Düsseldorf) and called him on stage. The crowd began chanting Blitzkrieg bob's "Hey ho, let's go" and then they ripped into Miracles. Ed and the guy were pogoing at the end of the song. Absolutely hilarious!

even more since many people from Venlo and surroundings were there...
Anyway, I hope you're still going to Nijmegen next week!

groetjes,

It was Uru from Portugal. Actual his name is Ishmael and he got his nickname from Uruguay where he originates from. Designer of the Bugs shirt for the last tour and one very happy fan indeed from the looks of it!
