I wasn't sure they would be able to top or even come close to Vienna the night before. But I must say they are pretty close. I would give the nod to Berlin only because of the magic of Wuhlheide, a very special place.

Back home from my part of the tour, so a quick comment.

Wuhlheide. Wow, what can I say? Instant favorite venue. Very relaxed atmosphere before the show.

Setlist was good, highlights in my books were Sleight of hand, Evolution (first time I heard it live), Who You Are and Lukin I was kinda hoping to hear SOLAT, but not this time. Other highlights were obviously the Let Stone sing and climbing Eddie.

Big hand to fellow Finns at the train line connecting bus. That bunch entertained all of us in the bus with sing-along. Lot of fun and most of passengers joined in ) Also greets to the American people (the guy with US football team's shirt on and company) at the 10C GA line

Wuhlheide. I wish to see Pearl Jam there again Also Berlin as a city made a great first impression on me. Definitely I will go back there, but maybe next time with more time check out the city.

edit: greetings to the 10C member from New York who I had pleasure of meeting at Berlin airport on Friday evening. He spotted my tour t-shirt and early access wristband and came over for a brief chat. It was nice to meet you and share thoughts of the gig and venue. Too bad he had to run for his flight. Next time I'll buy you a beer, dude

I saw PJ in Wuhlheide in 2010 & 2014 and twice in the O2 in 2012, I have to say Wuhlheide is the much better location for such a great event. Just something very special to see PJ live at the Wuhlheide!
2015/ 16 ... Pearl Jam ... Wuhlheide? A must have!

First impression of going into the venue wasn't that great TBH. But once it's full, the sun is setting and the band is on fire, it knocks it up a notch!

Anyone know why there was not a true TC GA section? Anyone could get right down the front, with or without an early entry wristband. Maybe think about that for next time with all the crushing. Hope nobody was hurt.

Me and a friend of mine got literally crashed towards the front, we ended up in the third row, with no space to go. A girl beside me had to be lifted out, I think she panicked and couldn't stand there anymore. Some wild, completely drunk guys suddenly appeared from nowhere & started pushing, they where huge so they where hitting my head & shoulders with their elbows, I had to turn a few time & ask them to be more careful because I wasn't feeling safe, I couldn't breath. So typical. You wait patiently on your spot & some people just don't give shit & "invade" the arena leaving no space for the others. Eddie said "please go three steps back at least" two times, no way, no chance to move back for me... :-(
The concert was otherwise great, I love this band so much and they give everything on stage. Another blasting night! :-D

What can I say... I was excited even prior to the show... Absolytely amazing...Still feels like I am flying...I just can say, PJ Thank you for the music and the amazing experince 
I can only hope, that my words can bring close the true beauty we have experinced….

Feeling complete is taken from a breath devoted to the subtile screams
With energy ready to explore all hidden sides of myself
Each single word is taking me nearer different perspectives
A feeling so imense I could swallow the whole world and still be hungry.
Undeniable, reckless desire
destroying all imaginary walls,
Leaving only bare being in its purest form,
to be a lonely witness of recreation.
The moments of truth lavishly pouring ungraspable meaning to eternal questions,
Without the immanent need to know the answers
Time echoes through the sounds and as peace subdues
The maturity of experiencing beauty brings wholeness to this endless universe.

I think what is so great about this venue is that it doesn't hold tons of people and it is open air and in the middle of the forest. The band seems to love it there too, cause we always get great sets there. We decided against the crammy looking GA section in the front, but then there is another cool thing about Wuhlheide - you get to choose your seats which means you can be with your friends during the show. This is something that creates a totally different vibe compared to shows in the US. This is what made this show the best I have ever been at (out of 17). I heard the GA in the front was not really fenced off, and that was the reason why it got so crowded. European GA is a little different than US GA. People seem to be much younger and energetic, and thus, the front section gets a little wilder... It was better in Stockholm. But hey, it is a rockshow, not a classical music concert :P

I like to leave notes in these threads as memories for each show, selfishly for me but so people can also get a glimpse into things they may have missed ... and this, will be a memory I will not soon forget.

This show wasn't about rarities, or being up close, or getting tambos or picks, hell, I don't even remember 1/4 the set ... this was about a group of 20 or so immediate friends which branched into 50 or so having that one show on this tour where we all overlapped sharing a once in a lifetime moment in this magical venue in the forest on a stunningly beautiful evening.

We took up space way off on Mike's side where the seating section began so, as stated above, us on the floor could share with our friends in the seats and they could join in when they wanted.

We spent a good 75% of the show in our group, and maybe 25% looking at the band. We sang together, we thrashed together ... we hugged, we drank ... sure, we loved it when Ed climbed up the rafters in front of us ... and Let Stone Sing was hilarious. All Those Yesterdays was phenomenal, Miracles was perfect as we all had a pilgrimage to the Ramones Museum scheduled for the next day. But again, this was more about friendships than anything.

Radio Rob posted a vid of my friends during Ledbetter in a "circle of love" which I was a part of, and what I said there, I'll reiterate here: This was a moment of a lifetime in a show of a lifetime on a trip of a lifetime with friends I'll have for a lifetime.

By the way, I never got to hear the post show report on PJ Radio, but if you heard some guy going on and on and on about how magical this show was, about how stunning this venue was ... that was me, Mr. Sweatbox, as Rob called me.

Peace to everyone continuing onward ... doesn't looks like the band is slowing down one bit!

Spags

Lol, I had a great view of you lot during the show, the Mike 'wave' was something to see and I loved seeing you all enjoying dancing in the circle! Stuff like that makes Wulheide the special place it is.

jumbojet

Wow, when you talk about circle, it reminds me the empty circle area formed in the pit in the middle of the mosh area. It was like a cyclone, if you dared to get into this circle, you'd be attacked from all around till you... run away or drop. That was fun.

My initial plan was to hang out at the seated area since my legs were still sore from Vienna the night before and I had little sleep. As soon as the first notes of Pendulum started, I knew I had to be at the pit. Thanks to pit moshing, a lot of people upfront retreated and I found my way pretty close to stage. Stumbled upon a friend from Sweden, whom I met at Milan and Trieste shows, and we had a blast.

This was my last show of the Euro-tour and was hard for me to keep tears at start of Yellow Ledbetter. It's been a week I will never forget. After the show in Trieste, I was so mesmerized, I was praying to see just one more show like this. Vienna and Berlin shows were nowhere below Trieste. Now I pray to have one more tour like this one. Cannot wait for the next tour I'll be able to get in.

Yeah, I remember you guys circling up, that looked like a lot of fun.

And I think one of your group asked me to take a picture of you guys the next day at the Ramones museum.

Cheers!

Hello all
I'm Mathilda's father - has anyone got pictures of her? Was too busy holding her and keeping her safe
thank you all for help especially biggest thanks to Jason from AU and his wife

petrimp

I tried to get a picture of her while she was waving to crowd behind you but unfortunately my mobile phone's camera ain't that good, so pic didn't really succeed. I'm sure someone has better pics of the lil' jammer

Big hand for you for holding her up through the show =D>

TH83124

Hey Mathilda's dad and whoever is interested,
very brave and courageous to bring her, but I think, you picked a safe spot. It will be a very cool memory for her in the future. Now to the pictures: There is a site called regioactive.de and they have a photo series from the concert. http://www.regioactive.de/galerie/2014/06/27/fotos-pearl-jam-live-in-der-berliner-wuhlheide-hjNVJhkmk.html
Check out numbers 5 and 13 for Mathilda.

Another note:
I also found my canadien friend on a picture, whom I lost after the early entry, since we spotted different groups of friends up front:

Whenever you read/see this, send me a PM and we can exchange emails for future concert or travels.
