Dont think so. I bet Ed gave his 'bodyguard' some instructions during the last encore break. After RITFW he promptly went from right side of the stage (where the soundcrew was located) and lifted that girl up while Ed was pointing at her direction...

Uhm...OK. That just leads to more questions. Why would he do that?

And BTW. That swedish flag was just too much!

I don't think they would've played it if there'd been any thought of them not nailing it. they did soundcheck it until they got it right.



oh, I was gonna mention something about them. (now, this isn't pointed at your direction alone, your post just reminded me of what I wanted to say.)

the way I see it, fair enough if you don't like the opening band(s). you don't have to like them, it's hardly them you've come to see and by all means, you can be relieved when they get off stage.

but don't boo them! I think that's incredibly disrespectful and almost embarrassing. it's also disrespectful towards the band they're opening for (PJ obviously in this case), because they are the ones who have chosen the particular band.

I think the same goes for cheering when they say it's their last song. well, suppose it's more ok if they say they're gonna leave so we get to listen to PJ (;)) but if not, I think it's a bit rude.

also, it's no use starting Pearl Jam chants during the openers, they're not gonna come on stage any earlier anyway.

ok, I think that's all I had to say about this.

I didnt boo them, but I really thought they were horrible. The drummer basically ran one beat throughout their entire set. I didnt mind their first three songs, but after that it just didnt work anymore.

Oh shit. To hear long road fill out the whole place a starter and to hear hard to imagine and to see eddie cries. This show was so beutiful.
Bad thing=alot of idiots in the front, who seemed to wanna start a fight.
And I think that the forum wasn't the best arena.
But all in all. This will be remembered

The show was really good, and what an experience to have PJ finally playing in Denmark again, and then only 10 min walk from my apartment!

I think it was just a great and very special show.
The acoustics at the Forum suck, but I managed to think about the music only.
I hoped for the Ed preset, and for the first time I fuckin´ had it!
The arena was only half full, but I tell you people started rushing in as soon as they heard Ed´s voice. Glad to hear throw your arms around me.

the set was incredible, as in Düsseldorf. I already heard In hiding and Breath, so they weren´t that big a surprise. But I was very happy to hear Down, Love reign over me, Love boat captain and Hard to imagine for the first time.
Btw, i totally lost it during Long road. I really hoped for that one!

My friends and I (we were like 10-12 friends gathered all in all) found a nice place at the balcony, with a nice view and no crowd pressure. You might say my girlfriend and I "sacrificed" our ten club tix, but we had a feeling it would be tough and hot upfront, and after seeing them upfront in Düsseldorf, I just wanted to really experiene the whole thing.
Also, i brought my girlfriend with me, and she doesn´t like too much pressure.
I loved Ed´s words regarding the tragedy. he didn´t say too much, on the other hand, it would have been too little if he didn´t mention the tragedy in some way. He managed to talk about it without being too direct, good job Ed!

Some of my friends who don´t know everything PJ have done, were a little dissapointed with the set, but I couldn´t disagree more. Marker is my gf´s favourite PJ song, so glad they played that one!

All in all an emotional and rockin evening. Pearl Jam at their best!

However, next time I would like to see a more organized ten club line. When we arrived at the venue, you couldn´t tell which was the ten club line and which was the GA line.

rock on

It seemed to catch Stones attention though... which is good...we need to put Sweden back on the Pearl Jam map...

What a great experience it was, too hot of course but hey what did you expect? Thank you Mikel and girlfriend (Sanne?) at the close - by bar who offered the best place at their table and shared beers and friends! Also the spare ticket got to good use! Thank you, the show was emotional at times, but mostly just amazing as usual! I had a really great experience and will listen to it again in about an hour when the download finishes. Let´s really hope for an official boot of this, hey?

Thanks PJ
Thanks Denmark

I agree, they were really boring. Sounded like so many other bands. I've got a bit spoiled since I saw Wolfmother in Barcelona last year. This year it's been Futurehead and Idlewild in London...and Idlewild were also sooooo boring. If PJ have chosen these bands they couldn't have had much to chose from.
