Recording Notes
------------------------------------------------
This is the best known source of this show. A preFM > DAT > SHN copy was
recently circulated, falsely claiming the sound was far superior than this
promo CD. However, even the most casual listening test proved that not to be
the case. The preFM copies had heavy filtering and compression on the signal,
and as such, higher frequencies were filtered out. This Promo CD source clearly
sounded better; most notably the crispness of the vocals, drum beats, and
guitars. The Encore Break and crowd noise before Long Road have been patched in
from a preFM > DAT master, for an uncut show, start to finish. The aftershow at
the Fritz has been retracked from the original source.
This is being distributed by blackredyellow.com in tandem with
pj.sidewalkcrusaders.com, and is part of a series of the best Pearl Jam shows
in existance.

Notes (thanks to 5H):
This show was broadcast by many radio stations around the world, opening with a
recording of John F. Kennedy's famous speech ("I am a Berliner"). After the
first few songs, Ed asks, "How's everybody in Berlin tonight? For any of you
are in the back and can't see, it's pretty damn packed in front is everybody
OK? ... Do yourselves and everyone else a favor and watch out for your neighbor
... protect the women and children" leading to 'Red Mosquito.'
After 'Lukin,'
Stone steps up and says, "Alright, I'm gonna sing one," launching 'Mankind.'
'Hunger Strike is a nice surprise, with the crowd loudly singing along.
Ed has a nice intro for 'Blood:' "Alright we'd like to say thanks, thanks for
coming out, those of you lucky enough to get tickets ... We've had some
interesting shows in Germany ... I remember every one of them, for good and
bad, but actually this show is on the radio tonight so a bunch of other people
were eavesdropping ... I fucked up quite a few times, thanks for covering up.
This next song is called, 'I'll be glad when you're dead and gone, you bastard
you', or 'this blood's for you.'"
The encore begins with Ed chatting, "Thanks, very much. I don't know what to
say so I'm just going to say, 'I am a donut.'" Later, Ed thanks Radio Fritz for
playing "records that nobody else would" and for broadcasting the concert.
Then, "... and now, Mike and I would like to serenade you," leading to 'Present
Tense.' The band seems very ON and totally into this show, even if some of the
songs seem to be played very fast.
These radio broadcasts are just the greatest! An "aftershow" known as "Radio
Fritz" or "Checkpoint Charlie," similar to the Atlanta 94 radio show, broadcast
only in Germany, featured Ed playing music and chatting with fans about life.
