Seriously, I have never seen anything like it. Watching these YouTube videos, I've never seen the entire crowd sing along to the guitar riffs. Such an amazing spectacle, now I know why Dimitris wanted to go to Argentina so bad. Before I die, I need to see a big show in South America (preferably Pearl Jam). All of you in South America, keep on rockin'!!

    yeah but look at all the tarps.
    all the empty seats.

    we've been disgraced!

    even dave matthews could have done better.

    may as well stay in the Philly area next time, boys.

    That is amazing! At the shows I've been to, the 10C seats are half empty during Evenflow. Meanwhile, in SA, the entire floor is filled with jumping, singing fans. The guys must be totally psyched to play in front of a crowd like that.

    To be honest, I don't know why PJ doesn't play South America more often.

    I live in Illinois....I made the long flight to Sao Paulo for both pearl jam concerts...The crowd is amazing...I plan on going back next time pearl jam tours South America....I truly belive the band was impressed with the crowds at each show so far in South America...So, lets hope it doens't take another 6 years for them to do another tour there....I am realistically hoping they will tour there again in 3-4 years...

    If you get a chance to check out pj in South America....Just do it..

    Hey dimitri (first sorry about my english), I just saw your comments about the show in argentina, I was there in the show but I cant reply in the post because I am not a member of 10c, so I belive that only members can make a post, right? and thats a problem haha because I just wanna tell you people my feelings about that night, I will appreciate if you can make that for me and copy this message there. I want to tell that something strange happens here after a show like that, we call that a "post show depression", its something that you feel inside, like an empty space, something has gone, after that energy then you feel like you have to wait anothers five years or something like that, well that is what happening now. But, to tell you about that night I have to say that we love rock and we have a lot of grunge fans here in argentina, the passion here is special, about that I only find an explanation in the social history of my country, times of repression and then the resurrection in the scene of many bands, its like were in the USA 90' and all that people turning crazy, we experiences that in 2005 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP_ATex9xWE) and we felt that again that night two days ago. Well I was there in the crowd, the beginning of the show were amazing, the people were so excited, "even flow" were the first highlight. Then "do the evolution" and all of us were jumping as high as possible, and singing of course. Then "black", all was amazing, and all we chanting the final guitar part, then the highest point in the show, we just felt that energy and trying to put it out, I remember myself jumping and singing ole ole ole, I take some stranger's shoulder, we embraced and continue jumping together, other guy come to us and did the same, and then other, all people were so happy and jumping, then I just touched mi face and realize that I was crying, at that time the lights were lit a little and I saw many people crying, boys wich were younger than the album Ten! Thats something that you cant see through youtube, but that happend and thats what Im gonna take from the show and carry with me forever ,like the two nights in the 2005 and once again, Pearl Jam always will be in my life an in the life of all these people at the stadium, bringing music into feelings, and jumping for that like at the end, jumping and smiling because we knew that the end was near, rocking in the free world! thanks to all those people that shared that feeling with me!

    Ps, if you like the energy that we put in the rock shows you must to see all the videos from “argentina best crowd ever” on youtube, hope someday you can come and experience that here in SA, thanks!

    I don't know if this is the reason why pearl jam doesn't tour more in South America?....But, I think its because of the money situation in Brazil....I was really shocked how high the merchandise was at the Sao Paulo shows...But, I bet it don't take them another 6 years to tour there again...Well at least I hope..

    I was originally born in South America (In Chile) and I always am sure to grab a bootleg from Santiago for any of the bands I like. Though I have yet to go back there, I'd love to see a concert there and sing and dance along with my countrymen! Viva Pearl Jam! Viva Chile! :D
