Hey Melons!!
Amsterdam in the house!! Well I don't post much but I need to say that I am for sure at the front row at the first gig!!! Right now I am flat broke, but in January I collect some good crispy cash again and for sure I'll spend it on my flight and car-rental in the US.
It is a dream, just like the vigil 2004 to attend these Melon gatherings! The best would be to perform on the vigil stock, although I need to make choices then... hmmm hard ones...
Like, when they tour early 2007 I need to get to West Coast ( I don't know but I assume they start their tour in California...), or wait till September to be at the vigil, although unsure if the new melon will be there ( would be the best tribute ever though!!!!) plus I could kiss my pole heheh
And the other thing is.. we don't know when the Melons come to Europe... I can't believe they will do a European tour in 2007.
Anyway, I want to know, how many European Melons will go to US?? Please come along!!!
Can't WAIT!!!! And if any of the band members reads this, would it be possible to announce a bit more concerning your tour plans and itinerary. It makes it for European and other fans far away easier to make choices and arrangements where to attend your concerts!!! Although I understand many things are still insecure right now...
One thing is sure, the 2007 year will blow me away!! Bring it on!
Love and Melon tunes!
Paul Kramer

Same here! I subtly mentioned it to my mum, but she responded with "Well... you're 16. Isn't that a little too young to go to the US without supervision? How do you know we can trust these internet people?" Well, let me take care of that....;-) I'll be smiling and being a good boy... they might change their mind!

Yeah, finding a job would be a nice option... but if we'd do this, when exactly would it be? I only know the vigil will be on September 22nd! Hey Sarah, Well, heheh very stupid idea, but i need to mention that to you... I have a good friend and he is manager of a Mc Donalds... in Hengelo and ALmelo heheh Maybe I can get you a temporarely job there although i believe there must be better shops around. Anyway, I know for sure I can get you in there! When it comes down to Melon, mannn everything makes way and becomes possible. Let me know if you like the idea anyway!

Yeah I easily make friends hehehe ;-) Noting evil inside of me! Yeah, actually Sarah, maybe I just need to come over one day and we watch a Melon dvd at your house. That could help to gain some trust!
Yeah, i was just thinking about it, damn I am like 30!!! pfff you're half my age! Hahah.
And concerning the melontrip with the mobilehome. I am definately in for this trip. And Barb, actaully to me it's not the main priority to be present at the first show... The combination ( if possible) with the Vigil and a few shows would rock. But this all can be ruined by the itenary from BM... we have to wait and see.
Maybe also do some more research on what offers they have! By the way my friend Martin is not going to join me/us. He is planning a huge trip to China.... to bad. Anyway, we need a couple of Melons to fill up the motorhome. Gabbeeee?? Are you interested? Charles, Barb, Sarah ( I'll convince your mom and dad!) and maybe some others..??
Stay tuned, by the way, I was in a bar last night and they played No Rain for me hehehhe youhoooooo I am gonna have it made!
Ciao, melon love

Hey Sarah,
You were in Bratislava I guess... Lovely city.. reminds me a bit of a provincial city like Utrecht. Although Prague is also beautifull I think it has been spoiled too much by tourism... Bratislava is less known and therfore more pure. Cheap and just great bars!
I rather smoke pot in Holland ;-)
And Barbara, we better have this deal.. join me to the States and let's see who gets tired first... i would love to dance/jump with you on time or deserted... hang out till one of us drops...
I still believe we need to rent a mobile home and follow the band! Who joins me! There is place for 5 other melons!

Wohooooo, we made you come out of the hole!!! #rock# F*ck the bed, melons can keep you up all night, I assure you and you know it too Barbara, you are soo right!!! Well actually it's more that i am getting this standard houseman... hhaha sit in front of TV... instead of being on the board and chatting my time away with the melons... being tired is a bad excuse! And I will not use that again. But hey, join me to the States and i'll be getting you tired with my over enthousiasm! I tell you!!

Paul, since you're a big Pearl Jam fan you may already know about this website, but I recently found out about it so I thought I'd mention it to you. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of Pearl Jam shows available for download here. www.youkanland.com/ I hope eventually the show you were at becomes available download so you can own a copy. There are also concert dvds for download, I just finished downloading a Ben Harper dvd from that site. It's mainly Pearl Jam but they do have a few other artists that can be downloaded from there. Sonya, awesome! I didnt know this site yet... So I'll definately be downloading soon. I went last year and I do have that show on mp3. But there are way more I want to listen too! Excellent, thanks!! Very much! Ciao Paul

Check out this link:
That's cool man, you can find endless clips on you tube from PJ Fortunately also from Blind melon ( although not endless... for now...)
While i write this I also want to thank Vincent for putting up Working Class hero on youtube... that songs is amazingly performed by Shannon.
Yeah Tipticket, sometimes you have to choose...that's true. I have a lousy morning and I think I am going to make my setlist and submit this hehe could be the best thing of the day ;-)
Peace all, and stay alive!

By the way... in 2000 during a huge rockfestival in Denmark 8 ppl got killed by pushing crowd.. One of them was a Dutchie.. Last week they played for 1st. again in Denmark and during this show he invited the family of this guy... Then he honoured him and played Better men... That's really nice, gave me chills... They played two encores, that's awesome! How long was the show? I've never seen them live but I hope I will one day. Yeah they played 2,5 hours, straight on!! Last year as well. But this time it was outside and before the PJ we had 3 other bands performing.. Incubus, Kings of Leon and another band.. but mann it really got me into the mood... it was definately awesome.. I am still into it.. the day after. hehe He also started to play with a tamborine.. and smashed like 4 of them.. made me think of Shannon during Deserted @ Woodstock, btw a very very good part from BM!! Anyway, gotta go again, i might post some later again. And the pic from shannon with the axe is scary!!!! Yeah, well I dont care the bee-girl.. i love the way they laugh at her and at the end of the clip she finds all the other bee's... it reminds me of unity and it reminds me of being yourself and get out there... a unity like we are here! I love that! Otherwise it could have been any other type of mascot..or whatever you call it. Peace and love music! Rock music heheh ;-)

The crowd got silent and after that rocked the place. Incredible... we had no rainfall, sunshine, beers, joints.. It was really incredible..
I have this major hang over now and keep thinking about last night... How many of you have seen PJ live?? This was my second show in 2 years.
Ciao amigos

Hey boys and girls!
Well, a few more hours and I''ll be jumping up and down during the Pearl Jam concert here in Holland!!! Last year they were also here and the setlist was awesome, they rocked big big big time! So no doubt that i would go again.
SO I was listing a lot to PJ last weeks to be sure I max enjoy tonight.. but I think I posted soemthing about PJ and Blind melon before.. about the tribute bee-girl song..
But when I read the lyrics they are fucking rude to our beloved Bee-girl.. So I wonder if there is some friction between Pearl Jam and dude Vedder against Blind Melon..?? I dont get the lyrics and I dont get it why he made that song.. other songs are great but if they play Bee-girl I swear i'll kick his head.
Anyway, anybody knows anything about it, or why this song was made..? What do other Melonheads think about it? ANyway, I would have hoped that this Vedder boy would have made a proper tribute to the band Blind Melon and Shannon! He deserves the respect by bands like PJ.
Anyway, didn't happen. PJ is cool, Melon is way cooler haha
I'll be thinking of all PJ lovers while I am out having fun!
Paul
BTW The request from Glenn about the setlist is absolutely awesome and I will make one, although I have to think about it another week ahah can't make a decision.. And 8th July we'll have a mini Melon meet here in The Netherlands with two girls on the forum here! We'll be playing max Melon and drink Melon tea haha Check love you all!
