I see Neil ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Yeah ! Tail of horse
and two shirts open ! He gets excited at once for the big green
country ! The pit is good when we are in the first row ! ! ! Of
my place there's a human weir of heads and hands to see the
totality of the stage ! ! ! I am only a small guy in the crowd but
I can see his guitar play all the same ! And it's there the main
point ! Big wave of his hand for the larsen ! ! ! Hey Ho ! This
evening, we will go far ! ! !
Hey Ho ! Who is this high goof in front of me
who films the audience and hides me the sight ? ! Clear the way
from there or films Neil at least ! ! ! Ho I don't watch out to
the black&white cow in plush posed on a console ! Let us go
there with it in Downtown towards the concretization of a psychedelic
dream ! Neil dances on all the stage in order to motivate the troop
in a good way ! "How are you doin' ?" Good ! ! ! Neil
is well heated and takes off a shirt : a LGO woman that I won't
give her name passes out ! She'll say later it's because stage was
too coloured and crowd too gesticulating. That she was believed
in a Jim Jarmush's movie ! Well, well ! And why not a Bernard Shakey's
movie ? ! My eye is still open when Larry Cragg appears for the
guitar change and when the fabulous landscape flashes around us
! Courage is in the freedom of this languorous wave (but not deadened)
with guitars ! Stop stamp in your hands ! You are not in the rhythm
! Tong-tong - Tong-tong ! You must tune yourself ! ! ! Comes
a time for the acoustic set ! This time, the crowd sing in unison
with Neil, as one ! . . . And also to beat time on The Needle And
The Damage Done ! Neil seems delighted ! But he hides his feelings
as possible as he can ! He remains on the right of the stage and
play with pump organ for a requiem with our planet which of course
she has ! ! ! The pump organ is drawn away at arm’s lenght and the
old black returns with force determined to cut down any hatred !
! ! Be careful Neil get nervous ! So super ! And now it’s
the Eddie Vedder’s band getting nervous ! ! ! This ardour finishes
by a long squeaking ! ! ! Yeaaaaaaah ! ! ! ! Change of guitar for
Cortez which puts Royal Dublin Showgrounds in fright ! ! A guy in
front of me has not supported and is evacuated ! In the half-light,
Neil does howl his guitar before to take again his old black ! !
Neil engages a note, recovers a launched pink feels it and rejects
it to the crowd, follow water and its goblet ! My face is splashed
with powder, which digs me a large hole in my memory ! I find myself
catapulted in a free world ! The dear Pearl Jam have finally the
grandfather's permission to sing with him ! The crowd and the musicians
break out ! Like all dazzling, the sight is disturbed, and sometimes
misses me ! A larsen in a candlesticklight, accompanies us towards
a very nervous and a very great strength hurricane ! ! But in a
few words : he gives the final one at the end of five minutes
! ! ! Now the storms become ! Falls of trees ! Fires ! Earthquakes
! And not respite for us small hearts, hurricane is back even more
violent ! Tearing off trees and blocking any loophole ! ! ! Neil
sleeps away by the left followed of the others leaving up their
guitar which moans on the ground in a long anguish . . .

PS : And
I remember in '92 about Pearl Jam which finishes his show in Holland
in the Pinkpop Festival by Rockin' In The Free World to roughcast
you the hair ! ! ! We were thousands in delirious about it ! ! !
