I was looking for a Hamburg flag and thought of saying hello...but i don´t know if you brought it, i didn´t see it.

Berlin was a beautiful show, i loved it. The audience was just perfect, sang pretty cool.

I always thougt all Pearl Jam Fans are notorious do-gooder. Unfortunately a few persons disentchanted me.
As soon as the show started the aggressive mood of the crowd raised and they knew neither friend nor foe. We were practically squeezed there! I lost consciousness during encore 2 because a tall man - i am 1,57 m - didn't stop using my shoulders as a support for him to jump higher, so i was pushed and pressed. Some other person and me tried to talk at him all the time and because of this annoyance i could not really enjoy the show. And this makes me sad. Another highlight was, when this man took away my water, a kind girl gave me because she was concerned about me.
After i passed i woke up at the aidmen with a shock, dyspnea and crampy paralysis and could not speak.
I also have to say, that the aidman asked me if i'm 14 years old (actually i am 23). So when i think about the imbecile person who used me as a backing, i am honestly distressed about the possibility that he could also think i am that young and do this even so to a (more or less) "child"! This is really sad...

Was it you who they carried out with a stretcher-bearer ??? Dark hair ??...
We left urlyer so we could get the s-bahn on time before the crowd came and then they passed us by at top of the mainstairs before walking down to the exit gate...

I think it's a sad thing that these things still happen....they should pick them out emediatly and put them way back in the crowd or do something else with them....We were on the left side of the stage on the stairs and you could see how rough the crowd was in the second section it was not normal at some points....first section was also jumping and stuff but you defenetly could see the difference between them....first section welbehaved against eatchother you could not say that about the others....don't know witch part you were standing ?


Well hope everything is fine and well with you now and that you are recovered....these things shoulden't have happend..

I saw that too..to me it was pretty surprising to see something like that at a PJ show. The only other time I saw people being carried away on stretchers was when I saw Metallica at the Big day out a couple of years ago...that was just insanity...there were crowd crushes everywhere...I thought my ribs where going to be crushed at one point..and I wasn't even up close..I was on the outer barrier!

We were standing in the first section, not in front of the stage but a bit to the left (on the first row) and we had the best time ever. We had lot's of space and there was no pushing or so at all. And because of the fact that we were so close to the stage, this was our best show, we got really into it.
By the way, glad to see that we were not the only Belgian's in Berlin.
Met also fine people from Finland and the Netherlands.
Just a little bit sad that this was our last show so far. Hope to see them again soon.

thats a good spot were you were standing...that would be also a choice i would make ...there were several belgians there did no see annybody but i knew some would go....it was also our last show so far we only were in Antwerp and Berlin...also hoping that they are coming back soon somewhere next year maybe so í don't have to wait for another 10 years...LOL...Were you from btw ??

"Selv samme Vedder, fik – traditionen tro – også drukket sig igennem to flasker rødvin under koncerten, mens han kvitterede med at kravle helt ud i siden scenen, for at præsentere publikum for sit nye balancenummer ”vinflaske på hoved”. Lydteknikere blev sat på overarbejde, da han tabte sit trådløse apparat, men det var alt sammen en del af det underholdende show, som kun var halvt færdigt før det første sæt ekstranumre."

haha, i never noticed that he tried to balance the wine bottle on the top of his head. but great review, thanks for posting

Too bad you didn't see it. He did when he went on his little walk along the speakers on the left (our left). Looked as if he had a hard time balancing himself too......

Here I sit, a bit sad that I don't have a time machine. I want to be sent back 7 days, so I get to see that amazing show once again....

The Venue:
I was in Berlin with 6 of my fellow PJ fan-friends, and we were all came to the same conclusion - Wühlheide is a really worth another visit some time. Always a pleasure to attend a show in such a cool venue - good work Germans. Love the sight of 15,000 fellow PJ fans illuminated by the stage light and screaming(singing) their lungs out, all appenrently loving the experience as much as I did... After all, we were the best singers so far - according to EV!

The 'Warm-up':
First of all, 'The Black Keys' were a great way to get me in the right concert mood. Before this concert I really didn't know them that good, but now I have to buy their entire backcatalogue ;-)

The Headliners (FINALLY!!):
My god! I still get the 'shivers', thinking about the feeling I had when PJ finally went on stage. After waiting for this since the horrific incident in '00, were I left the concert in a mixed mood - loved the concert/hated the ending...
But in Berlin I certaintly dind't end up in a mixed mood, it was all good. To the extend that I didn't even speak the first 30min after the show - I was in another world!
The music, the venue, the fellow PJ fans, the weather, the BAND - oh my god!!! I actually think it's the best PJ show I have attended so far, even though the London '96 shows are hard to beat - I actually think it happened last week...

The fellow PJ fans:
Another really good experience I had at the show, was I met the nicest canadian PJ fan. Love the fact that you can meet people you have never met before - but still feel like you've known them for years. All because of PJ...
Nice to exchange PJ memories with a real fan....

Btw, I didn't get your e-mail address - or any other contact info. And since you promised to get me frontrow seats for a Canadian show, I would really like to get in touch with you again :-D
So, if you were at the show alone in Berlin and at the Bologne show with some friends. Wore the yellow 'soccer' PJ shirt, jeans and black sneakers. Offered me and my friend some of your popcorn. You also said you had a good friend in Denmark, and since I'm also danish - perhaps we could meet if you ever go to Denmark?? And in the aftermath of a great show, I wasn't very talkative - so I didn't even think of asking for your e-mail before we parted with the phrase "See you in Canada"...haha.
Oh yeah, you're a female,blonde PJ fan ;-)
(Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but if you are/know this girl - please let me know)

And last, next time you go to europe PJ - PLEASE do not forget Denmark... We miss you!!

Which city in Belgium is actually far away from another belgian city?
Sorry, couldn't resist...;)

Well Belgium is verry small so the distance is also...from my place to Brussels is like one hour and to the belgian coast is like almost 3 hours...

Btw went to the postoffice this morning it's on his way...don't mind the envelope because it's a silly one...LOL
