As it was already mentioned, even by those who weren't there, yesterday's set list hasn't brought many surprises and was pretty much a greatest hits gig with some last album tunes.
It was my 4th time seeing PJ and I still can't get them to play 'Porch'. Damn it guys, wtf?
In spite of it, it was a great show and I found the band very happy and looking forward to tour.
Top 3 goes to 'Rearviewmirror' , 'Why Go' and 'Rockin' in the Free World'.
Nice variation on the lyrics of 'Yellow Ledbetter' where Ed sang 'my brother's coming home in a box or a bag' (does he really have a brother in the army abroad or was he speaking in more general terms?) and something about President Bush in middle of it, I didn't quite get it.
Eddie continues loyal to his red wine and to his struggle with speaking the native tongue of every country they play.
Memorable moment when he said 'F*ck Madrid' in good old Portuguese, with some hundreds of Spanish in the audience.
There's no such thing as a bad PJ show and therefore, yesterday was a night to remember. Another.
Oh, by the way, Mccready keeps playing God.

I think I remeber (I was too busy jumping up and down...) him saying "the president's an idiot" as changed lyrics in some song, but I can't remeber which song...
and "que se f*** Madrid" was beautiful. no offense.
I interpret it just like you say...who cares where we'll be tomorrow, tonight we're were and that's what matters!!!!

F'ckin' incredible, the huge amount of generosity that this band shows to their crowds, worldwide. I imagine the same thing happened in Madrid last night.
There were lots of people coming from all around the world, friday night. I saw britons, germans, spaniards, aussies, brazilians and even americans. All of them doing what I can only dream to do one day: travel around Europe to see them perform live. There's a huge amount of devotion and generosity there, too.
It would be fantastic if they scheaduled five or six more intimate, Benaroya-like shows, across Europe, in a near future. I'm looking forward to that.

PJ rocks my world!

Well, I was in Lisbon on friday and yesterday in Madrid (my hometown). I must admit that I liked more the Lisbon concert. The setlist was OK; no surprises but I always like to listen to the hits. In Madrid the show was shorter and I missed: Rearviewmirror, Evolution and specially... Better Man. Last year in Madrid they started with it and it was crazy, and this year...no Better Man... pity.
I was a bit surprised about the enthusiastic reaction of the portuguese people after the famous 'f*ck Madrid'. Anyway, I believe you when you say: 'No problem, no offense'. Well, I told you what happened yesterday in Madrid. When Eddie began to talk and say: 'We're very happy to be in Madrid, blablabla..., but the best thing is... TO BE OUT OF PORTUGAL!!! and the reaction of the public was... complete silence... like thinking: What is this guy saying??!! It seems like someone has tried to convince Eddie to exploit the supposed spanish-portuguese rivalry and, as far as we are concerned (the spaniards), this rivalry doesn't exist. In fact, IMHO, it is affection the actual feeling (at least from the spanish side). So, I think that the joke of being glad for being out of Portugal wasn't specially... brilliant.
I think that the connection with the public was better in Lisbon. In fact, I think that the ammount of wine drank by Eddie had somehing to do with it. He was very funny... The concert was less serious that other times...
The sound, in both concerts, was not spectacular, but OK.

Saludos.

ahah maybe he was trying to make it up for that comment last night. hey.. you're all nuestros hermanos for all I know.. but there's always been a bit of love/hate thing going on towards spanish people.. I have no idea why :P maybe we're jealous cuz you have way more atractive football!

and also because a lot of dumb people around the world still think Portugal is a province of Spain! but really.. I couldn't care less.. you are nuestros hermanos.

I simply thought it was hilarious that his portuguese friends would try to have him saying that! anyway.. like I said before.. it was in no way offensive.. I think.. but then again I'm not spanish.

I prefer to remember what a kick ass show it was.. I know I rocked like there was no tomorrow!! which there was.. cuz I went back for the White Stripes but that's a whole different story!

No worries, I wasn't offended, I was only surprised because I've always seen portuguese people very kind to us ... But I understand perfectly what you said. In fact, maybe the 'joke', in Lisbon was hilarious, but the one in Spain... wasn't, it was a bit out of place; as I wrote before, people didn't react at all... and, if I were portuguese, I wouldn't have liked that... even being a 'joke'.

Saludos, hermano

jophar · June 2007

Beside the jokes...

Black was awsome.... Good crowd interaction... Beautifull...
And, on Yellow Ledbetter he spoke about his brother that died at war (I think) and about Bush... That gave me the creeps... like, "My brother, my brother is going home on a box or on a bag" Wow...

Preety nice show, though, was my 1st one

cheers

Wow!!! Did he really say that?? I know I'm gonna sound like I have double standards here, but that is not a good thing to say...
I mean, there's nothing other than that to be interpreted in that sentence...maybe he felt bad (or someone told him that was not a good thing to say) and then tried to compensate you guys in Madrid for what he had said.

anyway...

I think you are right, this whole portuguese-spanish thing is exagerated...and I have to say, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we, as a people, have some inferiority complexes (it's just my opinion so...portuguese don't hit me!!)...
I mean, there's a "thing", but it shouldn't be more than that, really.

And I think you had a pretty good setlist in Madrid, by the way!

Yes, it was not bad, but... it was a short one. And I can't help to compare with the one in Madrid last year, you know, the first time they play in Madrid for 15 years and they start the show with 'Better Man'... every time I listen to that moment in the bootleg I almost cry... It's my personal feeling, but I can forgive them for not playing Alive but... I can't forgive them for not playing 'Better Man'.
Besides, I think Eddie was not 'in shape' in Madrid, and... THAT'S YOUR WINE'S FAULT!!! Ja ja ja, no, I'm joking, I think you have very good wines there...
Saludos.

Pegasus · June 2007

I LOVE PORTUGAL.
let me rephrase that, I love Portuguese people, and PJ fans most of all...the best in the world (ok, UK people we have to rise to that challenge)

had a blast over the 3 days, the grunge party was a riot, the dinner more subdued but still great fun, the hospitality (I ended up sleeping at 2 people I'd never met before..precious hours sleep), hate nice snails, went for a swim in the ocean (would have liked to try surfing but it wasn't to be).

and the festival was very well organised even if the line-up wasn't very interesting.

the setlist might have been Greatest Hits but it was sooo good seeing the boys again! the looked like they had a blast, the crowd was great, the setting gorgeous.
Ed said 'See you next year'.. well if it's true (like) I'll be there.. in Portugal? PJ? anytime!

oh and i went crazy on the T-Shirt and got 3 of tehm..they look so much better than last year's

ok...go to go o I'll miss my plane to Munich..

goncalo · June 2007

You ruled!

In spite of being an unconditional fan of PJ, I only signed up these days to tell them how great they were!
I were there at 4th/5th September 2006, and been there today 8th June 2007 and of course our audience wasn't as good as in 2006 because this time there were lots of bands but they know how much we like them anyway, and I hope you come back again soon

This festival was also called "Alive" because you were the main event, and you justified well that fact, I've heard a lot on tv that yours was the best concert these days, and they are right!
And as for the songs being the most known, etc, I think there is nothing wrong with that, as these was a festival with many bands, so I think you have done right in playing more known musics, and you can play those not so known in those concerts like in 2006 only for you.
One of my disappointments in life was not to be able to be at your first concert in Portugal many years ago but I won't miss any of the future.
The song dedicated to the twin babies was very cool, and Vedder speaking Portuguese is always great also! And I never get tired of being remembered about those Portuguese ancestors that went to the pacific

For the greatest band ALIVE, you're the best!

Greetings from Portugal, a country that loves you and come back again anytime!

jophar · June 2007

hehe but next time... to Oporto, because I made 350kms to see them, and there were alot of people from the north of Portugal =P

Cheers

I was in both concerts.
to me, it seems like a trying to joke about the supposed rivalry betweeen Spain and Portugal. You will remember the boos in Lisbon when he said "tomorrow we'll be in Madrid".

Anyway, Madrid was much better for me.
Better crowd (that surprised me), 1st encore terrific, opening Porch, and Vedder with a better voice - in Lisbon I heard it very tired-

Well, I'll be damned! That no good low life hijo de... !

Actually I'm not surprised. I said it before in this thread: "I imagine the same thing happened last night in Madrid". He was obviously badly briefed.
Man, no offense, indeed. The spanish issue is an old national useless thing. Because, from what I know from the spanish people I've met, you guys simply ignore us!

And there's nothing wrong with it.

Valter · June 2007

Hi.
I have to say this. I find Eddy a very seductive and pleasent gentlman. I've bought $500 plus in merchandise. I went to lisbon to. I usually pay service at Parque Eduardo VII.
Anyways, when I heard him say f.u-ck Madrid, I rejoyced. But then I've been told he said thank God we're out of Portugal... man! Now I hate him. I'm very mad at him. I think Eddy Bastard is a homo! Actually, I'm sure of that. I once went to a gig and wrote on a cardbox "Eddy, bang my mom!" and he never asnwered back, so there you have it.

Excuse my bad english but I am a little retarded. I'm also a moderator in a portuguese forum and I'm banning everyone who makes fun of me.

Valter-man
