pure magic . Going to Pearl Jam concerts is addictive, especially because of all those other fans from all over the world.

Yeah, you're right. I was addicted before my first show, but now even more! And it was not only the band. As I said earlier, the crowd was sooo great, too. It was an magical evening (I think, now I sound cheesy)!
Best show i have ever seen in my life! We were second row directly in front of Stone and i thought it would be too rough but it wasn't!
Crowd was amazing, Ed was really overwhelmed and was crying after Baba! I don't know what else to say, it was just the most magical night of my life. Copenhagen and Nijmegen have a lot to live up to!
"This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."

Wow, I was right near you in the crowd! :rolleyes::D
It was an amazing show, and we were not expecting something so special from Dusseldorf. So glad we went to this show, it is one of the best I have ever seen. This and London have made me a very very happy PJ fan. Can't wait for Copenhagen and Nijmegen now.
Maybe i'll see you at one of the shows Ross!

I don't wanna think, I wanna feel
Dublin 23/08/06 Lisbon I 04/09/06 Lisbon II 05/09/06 Paris 11/09/06 Verona 16/09/06
London 18/06/07 Dusseldorf 21/06/07 Copenhagen 26/06/07 Nijmegen 28/06/07
Exactly, I'm pretty sure 100% of the people on this board feel the same was as you Tanja. It was also my first PJ experience and I really wasn't ready for just how good they'd be. In the seating area where I was, I could tell that a few guys near me weren't quite as obsessed as me, but I still had my heart on my sleeve throughout and was thrilled to see that the majority were doing the same, I would have hugely regretted it if I had held back.
We were in the business seating area and I was the only one who was dancing constantly until Interpol started the show. There were two girls who looked at me like if they would say: "Why are you dancing? This is a seating area not a dancefloor!" And I thought: "What the f...!? This is a concert and not a funeral, biatches!"
I still think I need a doctor cause I can't move as well as I should. :c)))

Wow, nice review! I really enjoyed that - memories.....

Im jealous at all of you.
I cant even read this thread anymore.
I guess London memories for me *only*
Im just slighly pissed i didnt get to hear Breath...
Lucky bastards...friends.
I was so blasted by the show I just had to write about it. I would die for a DVD of the gig, so I could relive the memories as often as I want...
Perhaps there will be an audio bootleg of it. I hope so!
Greetings Snake_
Funny, I was so blasted that I am still lost for words....

Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?
Funny, I was so blasted that I am still lost for words....
My case is opposite.
I'm telling everyone how cool this concert was. My Problem: my friends aren't really interested in this story. They are polite and listen... :-)
Therefore I coundn't stop talking how special this evening was, I had to write... instead of losing my friends... ;-))

Same feelings here
"We get these pills to swallow... how they stick in your throat... Tastes like gold..."
Now I feel a little better, since Im not the only one
Sorry for *hijacking* the thread, everyone
I just had to post something, cause i know you guys had an amazing time
and wanted to whine a bit here since i wasnt there...:p
Ok. This was my third Pearl Jam gig this year. Went to see them in Dublin and Paris last year in August and September. Then I saw them in Dusseldorf this year. Paris will always stay in my heart because I was second row and managed to gain a Stone pic. Oh yes. And also my friend can be heard on the bootleg yelling some Irish phrases. Ah, memories.
After the first four songs, I knew this was goin to be different in Dusseldorf. I tried to predict the set list, with songs they usually play. I was sure I would get about 15 out of 25 songs I'd picked. How wrong I was. I got 6 out of 29!!
This was different to Paris and Dublin. I was standing to the right of the stage in the standing area. It wasnt as close, but I was able to take in more probably. I stood there with my friend singing every word I could. I went completely hoarse after Evolution, and embaressed the hell out of myself when I couldnt reach the notes of Baba O'Reilly due to the punishment my throat had taken.
Not only that but I think I fell in love with this german girl who was standing near us. At least I think she was german. If there's a german girl who wore a dark blue top and was standing to the right of the stage in the standing section, send me your name and number to 08..............maybe this isnt the right place.
Fact is I had a blast. The rare set list made the night. Im Open and Brain of J made me go insane. The only thing that could have made it better was if I had of been in the front row and had worn a Ramones t-shirt! That bastard!!! Haha
What happened to you? ditched the tour after the London show?
Uhm, ditched? Well, I went to 5 shows, London was my last one :(
Ok, its 4 shows, supposed to be 5, Venice didnt happen.
I thought we were gonna see you after the show. we met everyone at the fountain and head down to the tube.
It was great meeting you, tho, even tho it was breif
Too bad you missed the Dussel show. It was amazing! I finally got Breath!
Nice meeting you too! I am sure our paths will cross again on a future tour ...
Yeah, Im jealous I wanst there. for the show, the ppl AND Breath.
I so wanted to hear it, so yeah...destiny. I guess it had to be.
Oh yeah, Im sure we'll see each other again.
Looking at your sig and we were totally at some same shows
in the past. Like London , Montreal and Ottawa 05.
Some awesome shows, i must add.
p.s. did you guys see my pics...I am so proud of them hehe...;)
Hey, great pics indeed! Are you going to send me some? See you on Thursday! I will try to make my way to the front!
