A Funky Not for You in Hamburg
Five Horizons' note hears a funky sound in "Not For You" and finds the place of "Glorified G" in the set unusual. It praises the version of "Hail Hail" and calls the night's "Rearviewmirror" super.
On Monday, November 4, 1996, Pearl Jam played in Hamburg, at the venue the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology names Sporthalle Hamburg and Five Horizons names Sporthalle. The chronology's opening act line names Fastbacks, and Five Horizons' support act line names The Fastbacks. The chronology prints a setlist of nineteen entries and an encore of seven, and Five Horizons' set and encore lines give the same counts.
The show
Sporthalle
Both headings place the hall in Hamburg, Germany. Five Horizons brackets 120m after its heading without stating what it measures. The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology gives an attendance of 7 000 and marks the show sold out.
The Performance
The chronology's setlist runs "Wash," "Hail Hail," "Once," "Last Exit," "Animal," "Dissident," "Who You Are," "Corduroy," "Elderly Woman," "Better Man," "Whipping," "Mankind," "Even Flow," "Black," "Jeremy," "Sometimes," "Rearviewmirror," "I Got Id," and "Alive." It follows "Elderly Woman" with three dots. Its encore holds "Off He Goes," "Not For You," "Glorified G," "Daughter," "State Of Love And Trust," "Smile," and "Rockin' In The Free World." Five Horizons' set line gives nineteen entries and its encore line seven. Five Horizons' note praises the version of "Hail Hail" and says that "Elderly Woman" was given up a few lines in, when the band switched to "Better Man." It says that "Whipping" then led into "Mankind," and it finds the band at ease with "Sometimes" by then. The note calls the "Rearviewmirror" that came next super. In the encore it hears a funky sound in "Not For You" and a long improvised ending, and it calls the place of "Glorified G" in the set unusual. The note says Mike was in strong form, and it closes with two words of praise for the show.
The Next Step
Berlin, the night before, is told in A Radio Broadcast from the Deutschlandhalle. Amsterdam, two days later, at the RAI Parkhal, is told in Mutual Admiration in Amsterdam.
Recording & sound
What the Record Preserves
The chronology's entry ends with a remaster series line that names the band, the date, and Hamburg and carries the label info-file. Under the night's heading the chronology's page hangs seven objects: an image whose markup title reads Ticket, three more images, a link to a PDF file, and two links into its remaster series, one to a zip file and one to a text file. Hamburg on November 4 comes down to one hall named in two forms, 120m that Five Horizons brackets without saying what it measures, an attendance of 7 000 in the chronology, one act under two forms of its name, a setlist of nineteen and an encore of seven in each chronology, a Five Horizons note that praises the show, and seven objects under the date.
