If they had played Breath and In My Tree, this setlist would definatly be placed at the top of my list as THEEE best set ever!! Slightly glad they didn't in a selfish sense as I would be kicking myself for not going, hope we get those two and some other gems during Berlin, Stockholm or Oslo!!!!
Despite the insane set, would be good to hear how the sound and actual performance was like (stupid question) but I thought Eddies voice at Isle of Wight didn't sound particularly great.
The sound was phenomenal! Ed sounded energetzed and the band sounded tight. Both shows easily in my top 3...

I also went to both Amsterdam shows and I already thought the first one was amazing! But the second one totally topped it! Great set list, great audience! Amsterdam rocked!
Just watched Bugs/Betterman on YouTube...friggin amazing. I loved the guitar version. Now I really want them to Come Back to Canada. http://youtu.be/ZyTCfSZJDbg
excuse me for my ridiculous english...berlin 7/4/12 it's my first pj show and i'm so excited. which is the right hour for reach the o2 arena? the start is at 8 pm...thanks a lot for the help, i'm a elderly woman behind the counter in a small town!!!!
Wow, just wow. I had a list in my back-pocket with Wash as the opener, and I Got Shit and Crown of Thorns as the two songs that I wanted desperately to hear live but new there was virtually no chance of hearing. The first huge shocker was I got shit, nearly took me off my feet. Nothing as it seems was beautiful and tight and Mike played the hell out of it. The end of betterman was explosive and just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore and I thought my head was going to snap off of my neck, the song ended and we were in the first encore. I knew something big was going to happen. Then I heard it. Those first few notes of release. I melted against my chair and cried my eyes out and sang my lungs out. I really wasn't expecting to hear it (of course no one in that place was expecting to hear it), and I almost didn't want to hear it because I lost my dad 3 months ago and I knew it would be too much. But it was perfect and I am so grateful. When they played hail hail I thought for sure that the first set was a dream and that the show had completely started over. Footsteps was breathtaking, and as soon as they played it i knew they would end with alive/baba/ledbetter, which was just fine with me. But when they came back on stage for the last encore, and started CoT, my heart just exploded out of my chest and I could not comprehend what was going on.
It was so much more than I ever expected it could be. I can't believe the world continues on in the same way after a show like that. But not me. I am so unbelievably grateful that I was there, and the whole experience of not only the show but all the 10clubbers and people that I met is overwhelming in such a positive way. Thank you all so very very much. Till next time jammers :-)
My whole life... like a picture on a sunny day...

Funny how after Manc night 1 everyone was saying it was a short setlist. Last night had one more song and no one has said it was a short set
I think all the Euro shows so far setwise have been immense, even the IOW festival set too. Non-album tours are the best!

Dimitris,awesome show last night
Today is gonna be better..
i had this dialogue,100 times today..
and here we are..
unreal show...
the ones was in the building...im sure they never saw better setlist in their lifes..
As we talked about outside Ziggo, never saw anything like it...the energy was electric. So glad I was there...great to meet you too Dimitri (Hannah says thank you for the button!).
Great shows and great fans. Everyone in the Dam got a nice treat. It was also cool to meet up with everyone before, during, and after the shows. We're on our way to Arras for one more and then heading back home. Bummer. Everyone else enjoy the ride...(joe and Jen from fla)
There was this girl just in front of me with a sign that said "It's my birthday today. Please play Hard to Imagine". I know Ed saw it and read it a couple of times.
During Baba (I think...) he went over to her and gave her his harmonica. Very nice gesture...
Great show again... Thanks Brian for manipulating the setlist!
Guess they played Fixer again because Matts son was playing the percussion...

Jerk of the day:
You who threw your Pearl Jem tee on stage hitting Mikes guitar...
:fp: :fp: :fp: :fp:
Give a monkey a brain and he'll swear he's the center of the Universe...
The 2 Amsterdam shows will go in to (my) historybook as the ultimate experience I could have asked for as a devoted fan..
Living in Amsterdam and having Pearl Jam visit my city again after 16 years is a wish come through already.
Then having such a superb 1st night and being so damn lucky to catch one out of 2 tambourines that night made it so fucking rememberable for me on top, that I didn' t hink the 2nd night could live up to this..
How wrong I was....
I was lucky enough (or early enough... 06:10 AM in line) to have one of the center front row spots the 2nd night.. and from the first moment on they blew us away... after a few songs Ed noticed me and my Chris Cornel shirt I was wearing and pulled at his shirt, then pointed at me making a "I like your shirt remark".. this brought a big smile on my face in a kinda way that the night already couldn't become any better anymore.... if they stopped playing at that moment, my night would have been totally superb ...
Then the first encore came...
When Ed was talking about that they have had help making the setlist and that they now would play a song they normally wouldn't play at that point of the show and the started "release".. I broke down... emotions took over.. and I couldn't help it... tears came roling down and I could stop it.... my father just died 2 months ago and hearing the song at that point of the show and his remarks that they have had help making the setlist.... made me soooooo think of my father and at that moment I was just convinced that it somehow was meant to be played at that time.. and the only thing I could do was cry looking up and thanking my dad for everything.... even now I writre this with tears in my eyes... I hadly heard the song it went by in an emotional blur... the only time during the concert I didn't and couldn't sing.. I just stood there and let the tears come... thoughts were going thru my head.. like "come on get yourself together you're a 45 year old guy crying over a song".. and then again.. I had toughts wich said.. I don't give a shit... it was pure emotion and I could care less what other thought about it...
After Release.. I kinda got myself together again during Hail Hail and Alone and I could enjoy and sing my heart out again as I did before...
Then Footsteps came...
From behind me some cut-out cartfold "footsteps"were thrown over my head wich landed in the security area, wich was a cool thing the guy who made them did.. I don't think it was noticed by the band, so i asked the security girl if she could pick one up and hand it over to me, so I could give it another try to make it noticed to Eddie....and I don't know if it was the fact that he noticed the footstep.. or if it was because of my Chris Cornel shirt.. or if it was that he saw me so emotional during Release... but at the end of Footsteps he pointed at me while I was holding the footstep... surprised and happy as I was to be noticed by him personally again, the first thing that came to my mind was.. oh geez.. he wants me to throw the footstep to him.. so I gave it my best shot but the "hardly weighing anything" footsep of course never made the stage..lol.. and still not knowing why he was pointing at me, I called the security girl again and said to her that Ed wanted the footstep... but when she didn't react and I was looking up again.. Ed still stood there patiently pointing at me and ony then I got what he was trying to do from the beginning.. he was pointing at me to throw his harmonica to me!!!!!
ARGHHHHHHHHHhhhh.. I think I almost got a heart attack when I finaly understood this...damnit of course I wanted it.!!!. I couldn't have dreamt of this to happen!!!!
After I caught it I was blown away.. did this all happen to me tonight..?.. you read about these things on the forum... but could it actually all happen to me????
No question that the rest of the concert I was in a state of disbelieve and at the same time rockng like never before with every note they played....
And even though Ed later called Brian to the stage and told us about the fact that Brian has helped them to put together the songlist..I still believe that my dad was up there and it was meant to be played at that specific time....
So..
Thanks guys for playing the most rememberable show of my life...
Thanks Ed for showing the patience with me being able to finaly give me your harmonica..
Thanks Brian for helping to make this incredible setlist..
Thanks dad.. I will never forget you
And thanks all the nice people I met over the last 2 days in the Tenclub line and during the concert
You all made this something I will never ever forget my entire life..
excuse me for my ridiculous english...berlin 7/4/12 it's my first pj show and i'm so excited. which is the right hour for reach the o2 arena? the start is at 8 pm...thanks a lot for the help, i'm a elderly woman behind the counter in a small town!!!!

Don't think you were the only 40+ guy who let his tears go............i think
Anyway, Release is a great song to remember your dad........makes you think about a lot of things..........
See the path.....cut by the moon.....for you to walk on........
The first night was unforgettable what a show and what a great set list, i thought to mysellf this can't get any better.
I went off to the Ziggo Dome thinking to myself what would they be playing tonight? You can't beat yesterday,
Then they opened with Wash what a mind blow
For the rest of the night i was in a trance thinking that i have landed in a different dimension.
OMG what a set list what a crowd and the band was on fire.
I have attented several shows and i have most of the bootleggs but this is untill know the best show i have ever heared and seen.
I saw the set list and saw that daughter/it't OK was changed you can't have everything but yesterday night came pretty close
So pretty please with sugar on top bring this one out as an official bootlegg, can i order in advance????
Thank you Pearl Jam for a unforgettable night to remember.
WOW! I bawled my eyes out when CoT started & then YL at the end + in encore2 i was thinking if they play Alive we've got mamasan & when Stone started up OMG! I'm just SO stoked i was there last night & i got to experience that super supreme awesomeness!

Great arena, band in great spirits, great set, the kids bring there clearly had an impact on the bands mood (was touching to see the little ones buzzing - and going nuts when Ed waved to them )
Crowd was great in voice and interaction but amazed be that it was so calm. On barrier both nights and got no pressure at all from behind. Not even one bit. That was off for a euro show. Not complaining by any stretch. !!!
Hope Berlin continues this vain of insane form
If there was a downer for me - it was both nights posters!! Lol, they were certainly not to my taste. But hey you can't have it all

Wow. I'm so glad you got to have that experience. Sorry to hear about your father. Release makes me very emotional too for many reasons.
You can clearly see Ed pointing and waiting and pointing, then finally throwing the harmonica. I was wondering who the lucky person was. Happy it was you.
But seriously, 6:10AM? Fuck. I think I need to rethink my entire strategy

He was side stage for a bit and then dissspeared!
I wave to all my Friends... Yeah!
How do the relationship stories reach Ed? There were two songs dedicated to specific people in Manchester.
And one in Amsterdam.
Thanks! Lots of 10 Clubbers went to Amsterdam, it's why I'm asking here.
Peace

It was so much more than I ever expected it could be. I can't believe the world continues on in the same way after a show like that. But not me. I am so unbelievably grateful that I was there, and the whole experience of not only the show but all the 10clubbers and people that I met is overwhelming in such a positive way. Thank you all so very very much. Till next time jammers :-)

I think all the Euro shows so far setwise have been immense, even the IOW festival set too. Non-album tours are the best!

Did not see that. Very cool...
Please share your experiences of the show here...the Fanview threads are preserved on the board.
Please keep the Fanview threads for Fanviews. It's ok to begin another thread on discussions of other topics and/or debates.
Debating set lists, etc.,...that's for new threads in the forum. Thanks. These threads are for show experiences if you attended. Thanks.
Great shows and great fans. Everyone in the Dam got a nice treat. It was also cool to meet up with everyone before, during, and after the shows. We're on our way to Arras for one more and then heading back home. Bummer. Everyone else enjoy the ride...(joe and Jen from fla)
During Baba (I think...) he went over to her and gave her his harmonica. Very nice gesture...
Great show again... Thanks Brian for manipulating the setlist!
Guess they played Fixer again because Matts son was playing the percussion...

The 2 Amsterdam shows will go in to (my) historybook as the ultimate experience I could have asked for as a devoted fan..
Living in Amsterdam and having Pearl Jam visit my city again after 16 years is a wish come through already.
Then having such a superb 1st night and being so damn lucky to catch one out of 2 tambourines that night made it so fucking rememberable for me on top, that I didn' t hink the 2nd night could live up to this..
How wrong I was....
I was lucky enough (or early enough... 06:10 AM in line) to have one of the center front row spots the 2nd night.. and from the first moment on they blew us away... after a few songs Ed noticed me and my Chris Cornel shirt I was wearing and pulled at his shirt, then pointed at me making a "I like your shirt remark".. this brought a big smile on my face in a kinda way that the night already couldn't become any better anymore.... if they stopped playing at that moment, my night would have been totally superb ...
Then the first encore came...
When Ed was talking about that they have had help making the setlist and that they now would play a song they normally wouldn't play at that point of the show and the started "release".. I broke down... emotions took over.. and I couldn't help it... tears came roling down and I could stop it.... my father just died 2 months ago and hearing the song at that point of the show and his remarks that they have had help making the setlist.... made me soooooo think of my father and at that moment I was just convinced that it somehow was meant to be played at that time.. and the only thing I could do was cry looking up and thanking my dad for everything.... even now I writre this with tears in my eyes... I hadly heard the song it went by in an emotional blur... the only time during the concert I didn't and couldn't sing.. I just stood there and let the tears come... thoughts were going thru my head.. like "come on get yourself together you're a 45 year old guy crying over a song".. and then again.. I had toughts wich said.. I don't give a shit... it was pure emotion and I could care less what other thought about it...
After Release.. I kinda got myself together again during Hail Hail and Alone and I could enjoy and sing my heart out again as I did before...
Then Footsteps came...
From behind me some cut-out cartfold "footsteps"were thrown over my head wich landed in the security area, wich was a cool thing the guy who made them did.. I don't think it was noticed by the band, so i asked the security girl if she could pick one up and hand it over to me, so I could give it another try to make it noticed to Eddie....and I don't know if it was the fact that he noticed the footstep.. or if it was because of my Chris Cornel shirt.. or if it was that he saw me so emotional during Release... but at the end of Footsteps he pointed at me while I was holding the footstep... surprised and happy as I was to be noticed by him personally again, the first thing that came to my mind was.. oh geez.. he wants me to throw the footstep to him.. so I gave it my best shot but the "hardly weighing anything" footsep of course never made the stage..lol.. and still not knowing why he was pointing at me, I called the security girl again and said to her that Ed wanted the footstep... but when she didn't react and I was looking up again.. Ed still stood there patiently pointing at me and ony then I got what he was trying to do from the beginning.. he was pointing at me to throw his harmonica to me!!!!!
ARGHHHHHHHHHhhhh.. I think I almost got a heart attack when I finaly understood this...damnit of course I wanted it.!!!. I couldn't have dreamt of this to happen!!!!
After I caught it I was blown away.. did this all happen to me tonight..?.. you read about these things on the forum... but could it actually all happen to me????
No question that the rest of the concert I was in a state of disbelieve and at the same time rockng like never before with every note they played....
And even though Ed later called Brian to the stage and told us about the fact that Brian has helped them to put together the songlist..I still believe that my dad was up there and it was meant to be played at that specific time....
So..
Thanks guys for playing the most rememberable show of my life...
Thanks Ed for showing the patience with me being able to finaly give me your harmonica..
Thanks Brian for helping to make this incredible setlist..
Thanks dad.. I will never forget you
And thanks all the nice people I met over the last 2 days in the Tenclub line and during the concert
You all made this something I will never ever forget my entire life..
Maarten

I went off to the Ziggo Dome thinking to myself what would they be playing tonight? You can't beat yesterday,
Then they opened with Wash what a mind blow
For the rest of the night i was in a trance thinking that i have landed in a different dimension.
OMG what a set list what a crowd and the band was on fire.
I have attented several shows and i have most of the bootleggs but this is untill know the best show i have ever heared and seen.
I saw the set list and saw that daughter/it't OK was changed you can't have everything but yesterday night came pretty close
So pretty please with sugar on top bring this one out as an official bootlegg, can i order in advance????
Thank you Pearl Jam for a unforgettable night to remember.

wow, moved by your story, thanks
Blown away entirely
Great arena, band in great spirits, great set, the kids bring there clearly had an impact on the bands mood (was touching to see the little ones buzzing - and going nuts when Ed waved to them )
Crowd was great in voice and interaction but amazed be that it was so calm. On barrier both nights and got no pressure at all from behind. Not even one bit. That was off for a euro show. Not complaining by any stretch. !!!
Hope Berlin continues this vain of insane form
If there was a downer for me - it was both nights posters!! Lol, they were certainly not to my taste. But hey you can't have it all
Check out this thread for videos for most of the set when you get a chance: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=191771#p4491390
You can clearly see Ed pointing and waiting and pointing, then finally throwing the harmonica. I was wondering who the lucky person was. Happy it was you.
But seriously, 6:10AM? Fuck. I think I need to rethink my entire strategy
You could really see the youngsters having a great time behind the stage aswell.
I guess following dad to work isn't that bad for some kids... All I can offer is free cocoa...
