    Joe! We saw your hat practically everywhere :lol: It was nice meeting the "man behind the hat" in Berlin, even though it was very late and very short and you probably don't remember :lol: :wave:

    My wife dragged me out of Yaams at midnight or else I would have stayed till 4 :problem: .
    I still had a blast meeting everyone I could :mrgreen:.

    I am still feeling the post-trip let-down, even though the shows we saw were 2 weeks ago.

    Seeing 2 great shows in a foreign city (amsterdam), meeting and bonding with other fans, and then scampering-off to Manchester to experience the Stone Roses with 70,000 crazy Manchurians will be difficult to ever top!

    I am not European, neither from the US, but I had the chance to meet Sebastian from Chicago (I don't remember now, where he is from :oops: ) but we had a blast, first waiting in line and then having some drinks after the second show at Honululu bar :D I live here and every PJ show is full with people from all over the world, it is a great experience. I am also glad to see that guacamolejoe made it safe back at his hotel on night 1 here in Berlin, I hope my instructions were not too complicated :roll:
    I feel very close to you all now; so close I could almost... loan you money. Really. it goes that deep.

    I went to Berlin and Stockholm...

    If you would have asked me whether I would have chosen either city to be a primary destination vacation for the wife and I, i would have said no. Boy would I have been wrong.

    Berlin. One of the most interesting historical and diverse cities I have ever been to. Besides all the people we met being truly lovely and wonderful there was so much to city. First of all the city is enormous. We spent two full days touring and did not even come close to seeing everything we wanted (first time that has happened with us)... East Berlin was suprisingly the more vibrant and interesting section to review... all the gallaries and restaurants and window shopping and museums were overwhelming. Since it's really a portion of the city that has been rebuilt over just the last twenty years, it's amazing to see how far the sprawl has gone... It's like NY, without having the limitation of size and half the population.

    The most striking part for us (we are jewish) was the jewish museaum and the amazing metaphors and exhibits that really brought out a lot of emotions for us. My wife had a natural aversion to going but after we left said she would have missed out on so much.

    Came to the preparty late but was so happy to see many new and old friends. Oh and there was a concert :lol:

    Stockholm was exactly the opposite for me. Old world charm, old world beauty and the nicest people the world has bestowed upon us. The palace, city hall, the wassa museum and the olde town were the highlights for me as we walked for days again and ate our faces off... Went to two amazing dinners (oh I forgot to say, that I had the best meal I ever had in Berlin)... The islands laid in with the beautiful architecture made it a place wher I used over 300 pictures in 3 dsays.

    Oh and the concert was great... Had GA seats and preferred to hang in the back with the best crew of European types I can imagine (you know who you are)... Such fun having room to dance... My wife now realizes what a big freak I am :lol:

    Anyway so glad I did it and will do iit again.

    I'm really glad you enjoyed your travels. :) And it was nice to meet (well, 'see' more like) you after the Stockholm show. Though it was very brief and I'm not even sure you knew who I was. :lol: :P

    To everyone else in this thread, I'm glad you also had a good time. It's a nice enough place, this Europe of ours. :mrgreen:

    Stockholm was the CLUNKER setlist of the tour.....

    Just my opinion...

    The setlist may not have the wow-factor of some other shows, in terms of rare songs and things like that, but it was a damn good show. :D From what I understand the setlist was edited throughout the show, I think to include more songs people knew well and could sing along to. No matter how they got there though, I think the setlist was good at getting a lot of energy out of the audience onto the stage. :mrgreen:
