*** Rio de Janeiro Fanviews 12/4 Here

Marcela · December 2005

Was a amazing night, the voice of eddie made me cry in some songs, I sang Small Town with my heart and with my lungs.
Eddie looked like a giant, singing to me just the way i've been dreaming for 15 years. I was happy, still be, and i could feell that the band was happy and having fun with us.
I love Eddie, more and more, it was beatiful listen to him express your feelings in portuguese, with respect and care. The way he took de brazilian 's flag, with care, and hold it , it was lovely !!!

Sorry, i am a brazilian girl, and it's difficult express myself in english.

I had the priviledge, better, the honor, of attending Pearl Jam´s 12/2 concert in São Paulo and 12/4 concert in Rio de Janeiro. The experience is way beyond description. Everybody I´ve been talking to who attended the concert is experiencing the same "aloofish" feeling. It´s a weird kind of hangover. An undescribable sensation of having lived the most exhilerating moment of one´s entire life. I´ve been waiting since 1992 for this day. Now, the day finally came. Thank you, Pearl Jam, for enabling me - and thousands of others, I am sure - to live the single most unforgettable hours of my existence. Please, please, please, do come back soon.

So I made it to the show and back....very interesting.
10C hook up was...interesting. It took about one hour to prove that Jim and James are the same name to the person working the list...but anyway. I didn't get in early, after the gates holding people back were pushed open a mad rush for the stage began. I experienced something that I would relate to running with the bulls. I haven't really done that but this experience, I am sure, is similar. You run because you are afraid that if you stop, the others will not. Did I say this was about 4 or 5 hrs before the show!
Anyway, I get in and quickly realize being up front may not be recommended. During the show there looked to be an intense mosh pit as well as a lot of pushing, some folks seemed to get hurt in the beginning. I am used to being close to the front in the US so I decide to take it all in from above and sit up on the side of this stadium that can best be described as a high school bleacher style stadium on crack! The whole thing is about 400 yards long with bleachers on each side (for Carnival) but the show was at then end of the 400 yards where all the Samba dancers end up....or so I am told.
Anyway, after sitting in the sun I found myself next to some of the other 10C fans...no English but I could feel the love. They were a Brazilian based club "restless souls" and visibly excited to be there totally into PJ. As this place filled up (and I mean filled up) there were more Pearl Jam articles of clothing than can imagine. Shirts about albums, songs, band members, etc. as well as a bunch of tattoo’s. Mudhoney did their thing then band came out.
I have been to a bunch of PJ shows all around North America and maybe I don't usually see the crowd behind me but this was amazing. When Last Exit got rolling this place exploded! I was blown away these fans are intense! Maybe we (Americans) are spoiled rotten getting to see this band every other year or so. These guys haven't seen them in years and years and shit they had tattoo’s and hand made shirts. Know most of the words in a language they don't really understand (except Leatherman but come on...).
It was emotional to see this crowd react to Evenflow, a song I feel is somewhat overplayed live. After this I won't.
Brazil loves this band...sitting in my hotel room they are talking about it on MTV Brazil. I have no idea about what they are saying but this country loves Pearl Jam and that should be applauded and celebrated. I am glad I was able to see this show and how intense the crowd was.
I hope Pearl Jam makes it back to this part of the world, they are surely loved.

Excellent story! Thank you very much for this review. Our beloved Pearl Jam makes the world´s nations come together for music. World peace, PJ style!

Hey, I'm really excitied for you guys, I really am. What an emotional experience that must have been! We here in the states get really spoiled, you know? So I'm glad you guys got such an amazing show. I can't wait to see them next year sometime!

Tulle · December 2005

Best.show.ever. Seriously. I bet Eddie agrees with it. Lots of emotions and nice gestures. There are no words..

mauricio.geologia · December 2005

I could say that the Pearl Jam´s Show in Rio de Janeiro was fantastic, except for one thing...and I am not gonna tell you about the songs we did not heard, but about a special one that they played...at least for me. Everybody knows that at the end of DAUGHTER we can expect a really good improvisation...what did not happen in Rio. That´s all...I had to tell you that. Every CD that I bought had a version of DAUGHTER that really makes me feel good. I mean...that was not bad...it was exciting and it did count with the participation of the public with great style.

Buru · December 2005

I was at the Rio show and it was amazing, the band was on fire and really enjoying themselves.
Plus, I got to hear Baba!!!

Doogie · December 2005

Where Can I find the front and the back covers of Rio?

Thanks

jonnymac · December 2005

I love Don't Gimme No Lip, i was in Ottawa, Canada when they first played it and everyone was really impressed with how it sounded! Pearl Jam rocks. If anyone has this show and would like to hear the amazing Canadian shows at the start of this tour when they are fresh - I'd be happy to do so.

cheers

The sky was full of stars and there was a big moon when Eddie Vedder and all Pearl Jam entered the stage. We almost couldn`t believe in our eyes. Eddie was singing as never before, as if he was an angel who spread his wings over our heads and blessed all of us with his songs that are real poems. Our hearts became into tears. Every single person at that show in Rio was crying. When Eddie Vedder took our flag and put it close to his heart, I also couldn`t stop my tears anymore. I`ve never felt like this before. I`ve never imagined that I would feel this way in a rock show. All the sudden, I was twenty again. Eddie Vedder with his long hair and shining blue eyes, looked like a grunge Jesus Christ incredibly giving us peace and joy, in a holly moment. Love was in the air. It was the love of the audience for their beloved band; people of all ages, but mostly, people that have waited fifteen years to see Pearl Jam LIVE! And there was a sensitive singer who was so surprised and equally experimenting new feelings for that people of this far and different country called Brasil. It was magic.
Like many people here, I also have my story about Pearl Jam, but maybe I write it some other time. And it`s a beautiful story.
Thanks a lot for all boys of Pearl Jam for coming here. I hope that they come back another time, just as Eddie Vedder has promissed us.

"Your light made us stars". (Light Years).

Izabel.
