    Anyone thinks Antwerp was even a little little bit...better than Arnhem??? I know it sounds crazy 'cos Holland was in top form and the atmosphere was unforgettably uplifting... but I felt they managed to top the previous night which is crazy...anyone?

    I still need time to get everything straight and listen to the Antwerp show a few times (so far I've listened to Arnhem 10 times or so), but at 1st I thought Antwerp was just a wee bit better. Cant explain why..

    That's how I feel as well...but listenning to Antwerp and Anrhem cds did not help me 'cos both are pretty fantastic...
    Antwerp crowd was a little bit more into the show maybe...and don't forget how amazing Black was!!!

    Than I thought I'd chill out for a moment and treat myself to a nice cold Stella. But noooooooooooh "Sorry sir we dont serve beer during the show". "WHAT!? I thought i was in Belgium, the beer capitol of the world..?"

    That was Pearl Jam's decision.

    Are you sure it was THEIR decision??? Kinda weird but it didn't really bother me cos I couldn't even get close to that bufet!!!

    I would like to thank that tall security woman at the stage for supplying me and my friend with water after almost every song!!! She looked frightening at first but she turned out to be very very kind!!! Thanx again!

    Yeah, I wont ever forget, but opening with Release, Why Go and Save You was pretty awesome and Daughter was pretty beautifull.. But Antwerp also had Hunger Strike, Indifference, Present etc. Ugh I can't make up my mind, too hard to choose now, perhaps in time..

    I'm 200% sure that it was the band who asked there would be no beer sold after 60 minutes into the show.

    We've come this far that even Americans know we're the Beer Capital of the world, but they don't know that contrary to many other nations we know how to drink without getting wasted! I mean, each thirty year old Belgian has about ... 7 (?) year more beer drinking experience than Americans .. :-)

    Question of habit... :D
    I don't know if it was PJ's ecision or not but I was so thirsty during teh show that I left my position in the secod nrow and went to the bar.. then I asked for a beer, and they told me "Sorry, no drink during the show...".
    I lost my good position for nothing...

    That's weird Julien, because in seating, I saw people leave and come back with beers!

    It's funny 'cos I was so fuckin' thirsty I could have drunk half of Schelde:) Previous night in Arnhem I wasn't thirsty at all although I stopped drinking at noon...But in Antwerpen I got at least 1,5 litre of water from that security woman during the show but I felt I was dying of thirst!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell???

    Maybe during the first part of the show ?
    Or maybe people went outside to get beers ?

    For anyone speaking Dutch, here's what we received from 'teleticketservice' one day before the concert :

    > SPECIALE AANDACHT
    > Veiligheid is voor het Sportpaleis en ook voor Pearl Jam een ernstig item,
    > vandaar dat voor dit concert de volgende afspraken werden gemaakt in
    > overleg met alle bevoegde diensten:
    > * De tickets aan de ingang zullen worden ingescand (barcodes). Tickets die
    > op de zwarte markt werden/worden aangeboden komen op de blacklist terecht
    > en zijn ongeldig. Ook vervalste tickets worden onderschept. Fraudeurs en
    > oplichters worden aan de politie overgedragen.
    > * Op vraag van de groep worden er geen pet flessen drank verkocht, ook
    > geen water.
    > * Vanaf één uur na het begin van het concert van Pearl Jam worden er geen
    > alcoholische dranken meer verkocht
    >

    It says very much attention will be paid to security and the second last point quotes that on explicit demand of the group no 'pet flessen'='plastic bottles' of drink will be sold, not even water.
    The last point states that one hour after the start of the concert of Pearl Jam no more alcoholic drinks will be sold. It's not explicitely mentioned here that the question (demand) comes from the group itself.

    So, the question remains open, I guess
