    for an amasing night,
    i wasin berlin six years ago and I can say it topped it by thousand times, people were going mad singing along all songs the feeling in that venue was gigantic...I recognise so many of you who wrote here, it so funny, stop bitching around about security and people and what not remember how you felt throughout this show and just forget about the rest..

    ROLAND I think was your name, I am the greek girl talking to you and to your friend in the front row on mikes side, you have to follow the link to this guys pics cause you ll see yourself drinking the wine !!! :) hope someone tells you its here to find, you lucky one, ed must love you, one night the bush mask the other you get the wine!!!

    I HAD SO MUCH FUN guys...MIKE YOU ROCK! PEARL JAM YOU ROCK MY WORLD!

    I hope they ll rock Athens even half as much as they did Berlin..

    ahh..feel much better now
    cheers and love and hugs

  • was to tired...came back late yesterday...

    it was a great show

    the set list was a little strange imo...nothing really rare...and go as an opener...well it worked but it was not release ;) and they played just rockers in the beginning

    everyone here said that the crowd was great but where we (my sister and me) STOOD, most of them were a little...er...lame...SAT there as if they were watchin a film...just waked up during alive...

    eddie speakin german was really funny...he did very well...

    the highlights were even flow (i hate drum soli but this one was great as well as the guitar solo, of course), present tense, marker, daughter with this great anti-bush-w.m.a.-tag (would have been even better with the another-brick-in-the-wall-tag) and black and porch

    and come back + i believe in miracles for johnny...r.i.p.

    oh i have to say something about the venue...was a little hard to get there with the s-bahn...but i can't think of a better one...the weather great...there are not many things that are better than listening to footsteps when you can see the stars...

    another highlight was last kiss...i know that some people can't hear that song anymore but here in germany it was not killed by radio airplay...the crowd really enjoyed it

    thanks for this show

    hope they come back next year playing a tour or at least some festivals

  • Personally, i have a hard-on for PJ security! Haha, trust me to lower the tone.

    The guys have been great at every gig we've been to and the head guy helped us out big time with the bags in Prague. He also did us another much appreciated favour in Berlin. Him and his guys conduct the local security in a great manner and the German security lads were great.

    Awesome show, sad its all over us now but these things have to end sometime.

    It's like Almost famous.... everyone has to go home from the circus sometime. The trick is making sure that the circus doesn't end.....

    Get your asses to Amsterdam and look us up!!!

  • first post on the forum, so I thought I'd share my thoughts with you.

    The Wuhlheide, perfect place, lovely location, at the place where I was standing (front, left) the sound was very clear. People all looked happy and thrilled PJ was gonna play, I know everybody is at every PJ concert, but I'm sure the weather and the location added something extra.

    Setlist has been said enough about, but highlights for me were daughter, black, RVM and Come back.

    Compared to Antwerp the crowd was way more relaxed, in Antwerp there was a lot more pushing, which seemed to affect Eddy sometimes, with looking scared if everything would be okay. Antwerp was a good show, but the volume was too loud, which got the sound to deform sometimes.

    So with PJ, the sound, the weather, the place, the people, possibility to get drinks, this concert got quite bloody close to being the perfect concert for me. Only got one remark...

    the Berlin posters were sold out...if there's somebody going to Zagreb or Athens and would get me one, I would be very happy. Please PM me, thanks a lot.

    Thanks Dane,

    the hotel was really the best considering it was only 5 minutes walk from the venue...

    I can´t understand how people can bitch about that setlist, but... who cares.
    It was the most wonderful concert I´ve been to. The moment Eddie spoke german was very moving to me, so much love... That night really energized me and the feelings of love and hope followed me the whole next day through. It helps me carry on. Yes, it means that much to some of us...

    And Berlin is such a great city. Loved the Rembrandt and Tokyo/Berlin exhibitions.

    Yeah, Aparthotel Spree was nice even though after the gig we ended up following other people leaving the Wuhlheide and walked to wrong direction (S-bahn Wuhlheide) and wandered hour or so in the dark forest.. Scary shit but luckily got back to hotel safely.

    come on guys, there's one or two of you need to get a grip.Berlin was a fantastic gig, I'm one who travelled right across Europe(from Wales) and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience-apart from queing for almost 2 hours to get in! Most of you seem to have loved it also, which was the impression I got on Sat' night. All this bullshit about a weak set list gets on my nerves, and anyone who's having a go about greatest hits sets or whatever is just showing what a shallow individual they are. It's not up to you to select the songs-it's bugger all to do with you in fact! I've been into Pearl Jam since 1992, seen them live in 1992/2000, and last week. But I've never felt the need to join any club, or go to extraordinary lengths to prove it to anyone else-that's a little like what fans of boy bands get up to. Join the club, or don't as you wish-travel around the world to see them if you want, but remember you do it because YOU want to-no other reason. Don't expect to get anything back, it doesn't work like that. Anyways- what a gig, what a city, what a venue-as the sun went down i got a feeling like I could've been in a baseball stadium in early 1970's Usa, waiting for Led Zeppelin to come on or something-quite surreal. In fact I think it may have been the 2nd coming! Loved the crowd, well done-the best ever!
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Well said man, well said. The energy the band exhibited really did fuckin emanate through the venue and the surrounding woods, that's what it felt like anyway. it was fuckin electric:)...

    Before halloween.. Helen will be in london so we're getting together (well all those who have met each other at gigs and can be in london!). See her thread in AET - 'I'm coming to London'. Plans still in their infancy but will get there!
