*** Lisbon I Fanviews Here 4/9 ***

This was my first PJ concert, despite being a fan since the beggining.

I thought it was great, Eddie sang with meaning and passion and not with the restrained voice I feared after riot act. Mike puts on a show as usual.

Setlist
Come on, stop the discussion, how can a setlist be good or bad? It can only be good or bad TO YOU, there are no universal good or bad.

I loved the beggining, an incredible energy discharge after the entrace with Wasted Reprise.

I have one complaint though, Last Kiss completely breaks the mood. It's not Pearl Jam. It's an average song, with aerage and simple lyrics, average music, simple drums, everything is average. But Pearl Jam isn't average or simple, it's beautifully complex in music and lyrics.

The crowd was also fantastic, reacting to every song.
I just don't like the Portugal, Portugal chants. It's not a football (soccer) match, if you want to praise something, praise Pearl Jam!

The sound was not so good, it seemed to be too high for the speakers to handle, and we (at least in the side, 1st balcony) barely could make out the instruments apart from the drums and the highs.

I was there....and so proud of it!!

I love Pearl Jam for 14 years... since "Ten"..and since then seing a PJs concert was a dream... 4th os September was amazing....a day I'll never forget. I never saw so much emotion, love, energy, passion... everything! All together. I think the portuguese crows is amazing...of course..I'm portuguese, but I really think , from what I have seen from other videos/Dvds that we're really special.
Hands were in the air all the time, it seems like the 20.000 people there were hard fans, they weren't just seing any band, they were seeing PEARL JAM, it was really special for all of us.
I really loved it, _I was amazed to listen Elderly Woman...., it's one of my favourites songs and I never imagined they would play it... and Black...Wow...yes, I cried, but I already knew I would
I'm just sad for 2 things: my camera sucks (can i say this?), and I couldnt go to the 2nd concert...:( , anyway.... it was the greatest 2 hours of my life!

Eddie speaking portuguese saying (voces sao do caral*o) that means something like "you're fuck*rs"

(more videos on youtube, just search!)

What's there to say that everybody haven't said yet?

It was a great concert, one of those you'll never forget!

I've been in the concert of Restelo, a few years ago, and I must admit I was a little disappointed back then, and my expectations weren't very high on this one. I must say, they blew me off!!! It was just awesome!
The sound, the attitude, the environment, everything was great! Really really excelent!
I was really excited, and I couldn't almost hold my tears, as I was really living high emotions.

Speaking portuguese was just killer and that Crazy Mary... knocked me out!

Thank you for the great and unforgetable show.
I just regret the fact that I wasn't able to go to the 5th of September... Hope there will be other chances for other great great concerts like these!

Thank you PEARL JAM, your light really made us stars...

Many many many thanks!!! It was so great I wanted to have something to remember

Im from Madeira .. for those of you who arent portuguese ill explain .. its an island part of Portugal .. and im one of the lucky fans who were in Pavilhão Atlântico on the 4ºth and the 5ºth of September .. i was supposed to arrive in Lisbon at 2:30 but i missed my flight and so on i had to put my name on the waiting list .. finally i managed to get a flight and i arrived in Lisbon at 8:00.

There was a bomb threat in Lisbon and so the police were checking a bag and the taxis had to come one by one .. by now .. i was sweating like a pig .. thinking i wouldnt be able to get there on time cuz on my ticket it said the show was at 8:30 .. finally when i got on a taxi i felt so relieved and told the guy to step on the gas as i would give him some extra money .. it was 8:30 when i got to Pav.Atlantico and i was so nervous and anxious .. i got in there and My Morning Jacket didnt even started their act .. oh my God .. what a feeling of relief .. lol .. i didnt knew a single person in there .. and eventually MMJ did their act and i was on the verge of excitemente .. finally and i saw Eddie coming in .. i just burst into tears lol .. i couldnt believe i was there .. finally seeing my favourite band .. and when Eddie closes his eyes and starts singing i guess i was transported to another dimension.

About the setlist .. i was over the top with animal .. i couldnt believe when they started playing Lukin .. Last Kiss was special .. despite not being one of my personal favourites .. Eddie singing it in the midlle of the crowd was awesome .. then came Black .. and i started crying like a baby all over again LOL .. and when i thought it couldn´t get any better .. they start playing Crazy Mary .. and ive got absolutely no words to describe what i felt in that moment .. im just sorry i didnt have a bottle of wine to drink and pass it around .. Alive was special as well as its one of the classics .. one of the songs everybody knows and the energy surrounding the building was amazing .. i really liked looking to the balconys and seeing everybody having a great time and just clapping their hands and really absorving the feeling that is listening to Pearl Jam's music.

I really enjoyed Big Wave .. as the song surprised me .. i never thought the new album would be so good live .. definetely topped my expectations .. Betterman is one of those moments that Eddie doesnt have to sing cuz the crowd does it for him .. Leash was a great introduction for Baba O'Riley and Yellow Ledbetter completely took the place apart .. i loved it when they played those songs with the lights on .. you could really see everyone just going nuts .. and it was awesome.

I probably forgot to talk about some musics .. do the evolution .. wishlist .. severed hand .. EWBTCIAST .. Jeremy .. why go .. cuz it was all great and the reply is already way big .. im sorry for the big post but i couldnt avoid it.

I saw someone saying that we shouldnt sing Portugal cuz its not a football game .. hey mate .. Portugal doesnt have only football .. at least i was praising the country .. football was the last thing in my mind at that time.

Vocês é que são do Caralho PEARL JAM !

Obrigado.

If even Pearl Jam praised Portugal .. why shouldnt the fans do it ?

Im really not getting your point as well.

Hello everyone!

Download of this show is available!!! I'm having a hard time downloading it. It just stops in the middle of a song.

Anybody else experiencing these problems??? Is it because of the large number of persons downloading it at the same time??

Thanks.

Then say thanks, and praise them back.

Or did you expect to see Eddie praise Pearl Jam? If even the fans praised Pearl Jam

Anyway, I just think it is a bit narcissistic and a waste of good Pearl Jam praising time.

Just imagine you're one of the band member and leave before the 1st encore. Do you prefer to hear the fans singing you're name or their country?

I just don't understand this point of view. Sincerely, I can't.

And people sang a lot Eddie's name.

It's hard to explain this atitude. You would only understand it if you had to wait so much time to see Pearl Jam (or other quality bands). They rarily play in Portugal. Now it's better, but a few years ago it was rare to see the best bands in the world in Portugal.

Pearl Jam praised Portugal everytime they came here, and this is our way of responding. And now we are calmer. Portugal is famous for the best receptions to artists, just because the ansiety of seeing them, the long waiting. And better than this, is that the bands usually Love us. Pearl Jam love us. They proved that by bringing back the cavaquinho (just like saying: we didn't forget you), and just praising the public everytime. Words just like: "We already miss you" and "Voçês sao do caralho" just "killed" every single portuguese in the audience.
