I've Got a Feeling in the Encore

· Nuerburgring · Nürburg

The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology heads the night at the Nürburgring in Nürburg and Five Horizons at the Nuerburgring in Nuerburg, both naming the Rock Am Ring Festival; Five Horizons brackets 60m after its heading without stating what it measures, and neither chronology prints an attendance. Both chronologies end with an encore of "Suggestion," "I've Got a Feeling" and "Rockin' in the Free World," and Five Horizons' note calls the night the band's first large festival concert.

On Friday, June 5, 1992, Pearl Jam played the Rock Am Ring Festival at the Nürburgring in Nürburg, Germany, which Five Horizons spells Nuerburgring and Nuerburg. Neither chronology, nor the house's information file, prints an attendance or names a support or opening act. Five Horizons brackets 60m after its heading without stating what it measures, and the house file's heading repeats it. Both chronologies print the same nine songs in the same order and the same three in the encore, marking one of them differently, and of the two only Five Horizons prints a note.

The show

The Rock Am Ring Festival

The chronology heads the night Nürburgring, Nürburg, Germany, and Five Horizons Nuerburgring: Nuerburg, Germany, each adding the Rock Am Ring Festival in parentheses; neither spelling is settled against the other. One object hangs under this date on the chronology's page, an image whose markup title is Poster. Neither chronology, nor the house's file, gives Pearl Jam's place on the festival's bill or mentions a broadcast.

The Performance

Both chronologies run "Even Flow," "Why Go," "Jeremy," "Deep," "Alive," "Black," "State of Love and Trust," "Once" and "Porch," then an encore of "Suggestion," "I've Got a Feeling" and "Rockin' in the Free World." The chronology prints "Suggestion" in parentheses as an encore entry of its own; Five Horizons prints it plain and joins it to "I've Got a Feeling" with a slash, and neither says what its marking means. Five Horizons' note calls the night the band's first large festival concert; the chronology prints no note.

The Next Step

Portland, nineteen days before, is told in Angel, the First of a Few. Both chronologies put the next show the following night, June 6, in London, at a festival the chronology names In The Park 92 Festival and Five Horizons Finsbury Park Festival; it is told in Taken for a Stage-Diver.

Recording & sound

What the Record Preserves

The house holds one text file for the night, a ConcertInfo information file whose heading is Five Horizons' heading, bracketed 60m included, and whose note is Five Horizons' note, one source with it. It lists twelve numbered tracks: an opening track labelled as an introduction, which neither chronology lists, then the nine songs of both set lines, "Suggestion" joined to "I've Got a Feeling" by a slash as Five Horizons prints them, and "Rockin' in the Free World." It says the recording is complete when measured against Five Horizons' setlist and information, a claim about the recording, not the concert. It dates the concert's digitizing and clean-up to April 18, 2000; it gives no taping source, equipment, generation or lineage. Nürburg comes down to one festival both chronologies name alike, a place spelled two ways, a 60m that Five Horizons brackets without saying what it measures, nine songs and an encore of three in the same order in both, "Suggestion" marked two ways, a note on a first large festival that the chronology does not carry, and a house file that follows Five Horizons with an introduction track at its head.
