    Eight hours in the car from Berlin, four hours sleep, three hours queueing and we still almost didn't get in because of shoddy organisation... thank god for previous experience as a youngster jumping festival fences...

    ...but it was all worth it. The set list did not feel 'short' it was a great show, full of energy and fun. Ed was a bit nervous about the crowd but that didn't stop the band from throwing out a load of heavy songs from start to finish. Most of the crowd around me (third row Mike's side) only knew Jeremy and Alive but they were loving it and there was a lot of appreciation from both the band and the audience. I wasn't expecting much from this gig after Berlin but it was so much fun. After such a long and hard road to get there, it was great to hear some hits and see all the young kids around us getting their first taste of pearl jam. I think the group made a lot of new friends last night.


    Great review - and quick!! Thanks.

    I felt this show was better than in Berlin. Maybe it's only my feelings. But I could see the power of The Band, I could see how expressive They were. I guess the crowd had fun and The Bend felt it too.

    I know the setlist was just for a festival, I am not surprised. But I was really disappointed They finished so fast. They didn't get 2 hours show.

    Of course - Ed's words about carrying each other and to step back were so right, and I was pround of the crowd they didn't ignore Him. ("and I'm not going to apologize for that":) - great Ed).

    The same shivers when Ben with Ed were singing Under pressure - in Berlin and in Gdynia, but in Gdynia it was simply amazing, when they were looking at each other and feeling the music.

    Stupid 3 men trying to pull out a tambourine which was throwed to one small girl. Shame on You!


    Ed's polish is getting better and better. When He pronounced "GRAĆ" (it means "Play") He sounds really like Pole (with the "rrrrrrrr")

    Jeff in green Wishlist forum's T-shirt. Wow! I have the same one :mrgreen:
    Stone smiled...

    I was rather close to the stage. When I saw on screen how big were the crowd, I was surprised.
    Great show, I guess it was much better show then the last time, when They were in Poland.
    I hope They will come back soon.

    I spoke to some of you guys in Berlin and was going to come and ask you in Gdynia if there were any spare wishlist forum t-shirts I could buy (especially for Polish 10C members, you know)... but I guessed that everyone had already asked you so I didn't have the courage!
    we're all going to the same place...

    Well, I have to admit, I am not Wishlist' forum member:) I just bought the T-shirt before Berlin show, during the trip, on one parking from the guys.
    But I read on Wishlist board that after Gdynia show many people asked about them (I mean T-shirt), and they decided, I guess, to not make more these green T-shirts for people outside the board. The forum made special tour T-shirts for a few years and they dind't have to make them more after first edition(I don't know the verb in english) so they don't see a reason why this year may to be other way.
    I'm sorry

    You're absolutely right. I think that Stone really enjoyed the show. He had so much energy, and I have to say that I really love Just Breathe after Berlin and Gdynia

    Got back home from Europe yesterday and The Open'er Festival was my last show for the tour.
    I went into it not knowing what to expect other than I thought the show would be a greatest hits show for certain. (...and it was.) I met some very passionate Pearl Jam fans that were very hospitable and I very much enjoyed their company before the show began. Let me first say these festival shows are a bit insane. In my opinion the festival was understaffed and communications sucked for the large number of people. Let me explain the cashcard/coupon piece as you had to exchange your cash for coupon's or a preloaded credit card to pay for everything. The lines were very long and the idea was if you didn't use the cash or coupons you were shit out of luck at the end. If you were camping and staying for the entire festival it might not be that bad. The poster was pretty cool but I skipped it to avoid going back in line again for cashcard/coupons.
    I started in front of Mike 2-3 rows and then about 5-6 songs into it I grabbed 3 girls that asked for help getting out they were getting crushed and I pulled them out with me. The local youngsters had no regard for others around them. Very rude in my opinion. I then went way right on Stone's side and rocked out for the rest of the show. I heard some people saying they should not have hired such and old band to headline! :)
    In the future I would recommend to others to skip the festivals and hit the PJ only shows for certain.
    I did meet Stone's carbon credit adviser in the airport going to Warsaw. He was on the stage for the show but agreed with me on the lack of organization and understaffed issues. Lastly, using a pliers mounted on a piece of wood to squeeze metal around 80,000 bracelets? Got to be a much better, faster way to do this festival people! Did I mention the band fucking rocked too!

    Ah, yes, I forgot to mention; this was my fourth Pearl Jam show, but the first time I've noticed Stone actually smiling properly ^^

    I was at the Open'er all four days, and after the first day you learned where to go to avoid queues(spelling?). Also, the Kasabian-show on Saturday was insane. So many people stayed and danced in front of the stage long after the band had left, all shouting the tune of the final song (Lost souls forever).
