Hard To Imagine
Fritz, Drugs and Rock-N-RollDuring their long touring history, there are those moments that you highlight as benchmarks that the band always pushes upwards. One of these moments is in 1996, when a day of Pearl Jam in Germany yielded a wealth of great music and clearly evinced the exuberance of the band's fandom.
This radio show was a scheduled radio special with Eddie Vedder and Radio Fritz , to include questions from the DJs, fans, and - to extend the successful Self-Pollution broadcast and Monkeywrench Radio tour the previous year - Ed spinning some tunes. Previously this evening in Berlin, Pearl Jam broadcast via satellite their show from Deutschlandhalle, naming the special "Checkpoint Charlie". Later, in a van outside the venue in the parking lot, Ed got comfortable with a Radio Fritz DJ and a German interpreter. Ed, again, was given carte blanche and began by playing tracks from Shudder to Think, The Ramones and Lou Reed.
Ed gracefully and sincerely answers questions from fans. Ed has been asked some of the same band questions over and over from the media, but rarely gets to field questions from fans (and vice-versa). The questions the fans ask are unique, genuine and some yield some classic quips from Ed.
In the grand scheme of things, this turns out to be "just another Ed-run Radio Show", but if fans continue to be treated to these reflective, festive occasions, not too many people should complain. In this instance, the radio show is hardly a rebellion, as German station Radio Fritz is not corporate-controlled like most of U.S. Radio. It's still comes down to Pearl Jam being the designated driver when it comes to their career, and exuding the freedoms - as they see freedom in radio - that they believe in.
Radio ShowIn a small mobile radio van in Germany sit Eddie Vedder, Fritz Radio D.J., and a Interpreter. The Eddie Vedder Radio Show takes place following the broadcast of the Pearl Jam concert at Deutschland Halle in Berlin Germany that night. During the show Eddie plays music and takes questions from radio listeners.

| DJ | Eddie first of all let me thank you for allowing us to broadcast this electrifying concert of yours. I was sitting here with my eyes closed and it just blew me away. Thanks. | | Eddie | No problem. How do you say that in German? No problem? | | DJ | Kein problem. | | Eddie | Piece of cake, no big deal. | | DJ | Alright. | | Eddie | Kein problem. | | DJ | Let's get the show on Eddie. Let's rock. | | Eddie | Get the show on, okay. Let me take my trousers off here and get comfortable here in this little cozy van. Thanks for coming everybody, tonight, if they're listening out in the parking lot. I know there's a few people standing right outside, we can wave to them. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | As a child you read about foreign countries and foreign cultures and you don't really think you'll ever see them first hand. Not to mention play and share songs, and words, and ideas with them. I still feel like it's a privilege, so thank you. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | Eddie, kein problem. | | Eddie | Okay. | | comment | everyone laughs) | | Eddie | Alright then. We're gonna play, they've given me the opportunity to play songs, whatever I want, and I'm gonna do just that. The first record we're gonna pull a song off of is a band that I don't think is widely heard on any level, this was a record called Get Your Goat, and a band called Shutter To Think, and this song is called Pebbles. | | song | Pebbles off of Get Your Goat, by Shutter To Think. | | Eddie | Okay, so being real professional, this is Eddie Vedder telling you that was a band called Shutter To Think. | | DJ | Great band, by the way. I Wanna Take You To New York, It's Gonna Be A Big Party, remember that song from Shutter To Think? | | Eddie | Oh yeah. | | DJ | It's a brilliant one, this one too. What happened to the band? | | Eddie | Well, they took me to New York, and it was a big party, and they were all thrown in jail. (everyone laughs) And we're trying to set up a benefit concert to get 'em out. | | DJ | Right. | | Eddie | That song's called Pebbles, it's off the Get Your Goat record. That's one of their best songs. To be honest they are recording for Epic Records at this time. Craig, the singer, has had to battle with cancer, and he's on his way to a full recovery. So it will be very exciting to hear what they do next. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | And your listening to Fritz, Drugs, and Rock & Roll, where anything goes, they tell me. | | DJ | That's right. | | Eddie | But also I've figured out, so what is that, Fritz has replaced sex? Is that what's happened here in Germany? | | DJ | Sex on Fritz you mean? | | Interpreter | No, has Fritz replaced sex in the saying Fritz, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. | | DJ | Yeah, that's right. | | Eddie | So lack of um, population will go down, record sales will go up. This next one is from the Ramones. It was the last record they put out, or one of the last records. This one I'm going to dedicate to Johnny Ramone and his wife. Now that they're retired they're sitting by the pool. It's called Strength To Endure. | | Interpreter | Eddie, you're a very modest man, so I don't think it's too uncomfortable for you here in our small van, is it? | | Eddie | Ah, no, this fits my modesty just great. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | Eddie, what's next? | | Eddie | What's next? We're gonna play something off this guy, his name's Lou Reed. You know who he is, no need to explain. But maybe I'll remind you of a couple of the great lyrics he's written. One that I think of every day, which is, um. Ah ... um, "wine in the morning, fancy breakfast at night ..." Oh man, how does that go? | | comment | DJ and Interpreter start singing this song in German, then debating the lyrics. | | DJ | We can listen to it right? | | Eddie | I don't have that one with me. | | DJ | Oh, okay. | | Eddie | You know ... "all the troubles in this land, ooh, none of them are mine. I'm beginning to see the light." | | DJ | Oh yeah. | | Eddie | That's the name of the song. That was an old Velvet Underground song. This is a newer song, a couple records ago. It's off the record Magic and Loss, and it's called The Sword of Damocles. | | DJ | The Eddie Vedder Radio Show, here live from Fritz. Eddie, is it okay if we throw in some of our listeners that would like to speak to you? | | Eddie | I don't like to talk to the common folk. | | comment | laughter) | | DJ | No, it's not the common folk, it's our listeners. | | Eddie | Oh. Yeah, then without a doubt. No problem. Kein problem. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | | | Eddie | Yeah, no problem. It's nice to talk to you. | | comment | I want to point out here that all through the interview you can loudly hear someone swigging from a bottle. I believe it's Eddie, drinking wine...but that's just my take on it. At this point this fact may not make much sense, but as the show goes on, and Eddie opens up more and more, it begins to have an effect, it starts to matter) | | | | Interpreter | Eddie, what would you do if you weren't a musician? What would you like to do in life? | | Eddie | Well. Let's say I worked in a McDonalds, right? (laughter from everyone in the van). No but, let's just say, I will tell you I'd be the best McDonald's worker they ever saw. | | DJ | Why's that? | | Eddie | Because I'd take pride in my job. No matter what I did, I would just take pride in my job. I really feel, I don't know if it's the same here, as in our country. Everyone feels that they can't rise above, and they aren't going to make as much money as their parents, and that there's nothing but negative things in their future. But I feel like, I'm a living example that if you work as hard as you can, and you have some drive, and something you're devoted to, that with hard work you can achieve that. So, if I was, well I wouldn't work at McDonalds, because I can't support McDonalds (chuckles) I think I would, I think I would be intelligent enough to know that they're doing a fine job at giving everyone diseases and making them overweight, by using fancy colors to sell their product, which is meat, but um ... no matter what I worked at I still would actually would play music and I always loved music and it was very important to me. Even if the songs would be heard by myself, and my wife, and maybe my little kid when he grew up. Um, I would do that, then my kid would know who his dad was, because he could hear it in these songs. So, I still would have played music, but no matter what job I had, I would have done so well, I would have ended up the president of the company, and I hope that everyone knows they can do that. | | Interpreter | Okay, I'll try to translate that in a nutshell. | | comment | laughter) | | Eddie | Yeah. It was nice to talk to you though, thanks for the question. | | comment | hearing Eddie Vedder en McDonalds said with a German accent is enough to make you laugh really hard for a long time) | | | | Eddie | Thank you, and my next answer will be one sentence...I promise you. | | comment | everyone laughs) | | DJ | Hello Stephanie. | | | | Eddie | Hi. | | | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | (long pause) The tough part is what do I like. No, it's um, hum, ... | | | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | Yeah, I think what I like least is the American public is really tuned into their television. And it becomes like Big Brother, and they start believing everything they hear, or everything they read, through media. And so I've thought about moving some place where they had no media and I could be in touch with my own self, the people who were close to me, and the earth beneath me. | | | | Eddie | Yeah, exactly. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | And then what I like about it is that I have nice neighbors (laughs) my friends live there. | | | | Eddie | Stephanie, thank you, and I hope you have a really great life. | | | | Eddie | Yeah, bye. | | DJ | You want to play some music, or one more listener? Eddie, what do you want? | | comment | large swallow) | | Eddie | Oh, let's try one more, we got all night for music. | | DJ | Alright. Hello Yenz. | | | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | This is a very intense question. Thanks. I think I have an answer. I think that we all have troubles at some time. Obviously you have more challenges than most just within your day to day ... | | comment | Caller 3 can be heard softly sobbing) | | Eddie | ... that takes a lot of strength ... ah, um ... I think that people can learn from others and see that others sometimes have a lot more to deal with than they do. Especially when they feel like suicide is maybe their only option, when they fell like there's nothing else, and that this is the option they must take. How do I feel about the afterlife? I think that is why suicide is maybe not an option, because you don't know. And there's plenty of great, great things going on in this world, in the present tense, and that it's worth surviving everyday. Maybe you know this, I think you were asking a question that you knew the answer to. | | | | Eddie | Yeah, that's what I was saying. I don't think we know. I think it's the great unknown question. There's monks that will tell you that you have 39 days. First they told me that you're reincarnated. And I said, well I've always wondered how many days in between do you get? And they said 39. I wasn't expecting such a direct answer. They said you have 39 days and then during that time it's not just time off, you have to deal with karma during that time. So basically that's what I'm doing in my life is trying to ... trying to make things so that I have almost everyday of those 39 days as a vacation. I want to have really good karma. I want to have some time off. | | comment | everyone laughs, including Caller 3, another loud swig of the bottle) | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | | | Eddie | Thank you, thanks a lot and good luck to you. | | | | Eddie | So, I think the deal is three questions, three songs. | | DJ | Brilliant one. | | Eddie | So now we have three songs, the first one's gonna be The Who, off their new live release, which is live from I think 1971, and this is a song called Sparks, it's an instrumental. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | comment | somewhere in here part of the show is missing as we don't know what Fastback song was played) | | DJ | Eddie, tell us a little about why you're playing The Who as one of the last songs tonight and that you played The Who together with the Fastbacks. | | Eddie | Well, last night somebody asked me a question, they asked me what is your favorite word. The first thing I thought of was, what a stupid fucking question that is. (laughter) | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | And so, I had to come up with something, and actually I figured it out within a matter of a few seconds. I realized that my favorite word is who. I could just stare at that word and feel joy. The band was so important to me, and are still important. They're out in the States playing Quadrophenia. My wife actually, my wife is in a band called Hovercraft, which there's no vocals, and it's space music, trance music, but it's intense. They actually opened for The Who, so my wife opened for The Who. | | DJ | Great. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | Just out of interest, the number you played Leaving Here, in fact is no Who number, right? It's a Motown song, isn't it? | | Eddie | Well, The Who recorded it when they were called the High Numbers in 1963, and that's where I first heard it. Then I found out that a band called Jimmy Vaughn, and the Cadillacs, or something, recorded it in Seattle. So one of the first recorded versions was of a small R&B band in Seattle, which I thought was interesting. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | Enough talk, let's hear some music. This was a rare single given to the Fan Club during the first year. It's a little song, I remember writing it because Jeff, I was staying with Jeff at the time in his very small apartment and he went to a Christmas party. And I didn't want to have anything to do with any kind of party. I was too busy being depressed. So I went and had coffee, and I went back to the house, and I got locked out, and I wrote the words to this song. | | Song | Let Me Sleep (It's Christmas Time) | | Eddie | Alright. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | comment | the opening drum count off of Dirty Frank is heard) | | Eddie | (laughing) Oops, that was Dirty Frank starting. I think a few people have heard that. | | Interpreter | (continuing in German) I just quickly translated about what you told me about how this song came about in a very spontaneous manner. | | Eddie | Oh good, I don't have to say anything. (laughs) | | DJ | You don't have to repeat yourself, no. But we are coming along to another song. | | comment | pause) | | Eddie | Oh, that was about the last one. I still have to explain the next one. I'm not gonna say much. It was Jeff and I, we were doing this little radio show and we made it up during the commercial break. It's still one of my, the gentleman next to me asked me if it was funny hearing my voice. There's some songs that since they were written so quickly, you don't even hear it as your voice, you just hear it as a song someone else wrote, or something. It's nice you can just hear it as a song, and not something you worked on, because you didn't work on it, it just came out. That's pretty exciting when it happens. It's a minute and forty seconds long and it's called Bee Girl. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | Eddie, anything in particular to add to that song? | | Eddie | Um. No, the Bee Girl, she was this little girl who was nine years old in a video. I saw how ... um, there's no other word for it, how obnoxious she was and she loved being a star. I knew it wasn't going to last, and my heart went out to her. I was just trying to tell her, man that ain't the most important thing in life. It can't be you're gonna die. (laughs) | | Interpreter | (translates in German) And what was the name of the song again? | | Eddie | It's called Bee Girl | | comment | a very, very short instrumental is heard) | | DJ | (laughing) What happened to our deal? | | Eddie | That's a song. It's Howard Johnson and Gravity. Howard Johnson's a tuba player, that was a tuba song, it was twenty-two seconds long. For that we thank Howard. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | Should we get to a couple of questions while you're looking for a CD to play? | | Eddie | That's a deal. | | DJ | Okie Dokie | | comment | do you have ANY idea how hilarious it is to be from Oklahoma and hear a German say "okie dokie"????) lol ... | | DJ | Lutzie, Hello Lutzie. | | | | Eddie | Hi Lutzie. It's Lutzie, how have you been? I haven't talked to you for so long. (laughs) | | Interpreter | Lutzie wonders whether you have an interest in art, she believes that art and music are linked together and whether you have expressed yourself artistically. I mean apart from music. | | Eddie | Yeah, well maybe Lutzie is one of the girls who saw us at the Dali Exhibit yesterday at the museum? Is that right? | | | | Eddie | Well, I was so inspired, Jeff and I went. | | | | comment | loud swallow) | | Eddie | We looked at each other and we said, when we got back to the hotel rooms, we said, okay tomorrow morning we compare art; we both run upstairs right now and do the best art we can with whatever is in the room. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | So I took the hotel stationary, and put duck tape on the back so it'd be thick like canvas. Then, I knew Jeff had watercolors and I had nothing so I went to the mini-bar and I grabbed some comparie (laughs) and some anisette I think, and some tomato juice and some Coke. Then I needed a brush, so I cut some of my hair and tied it on a little stick for stirring your drink, and so yeah, I'd say I'm interested in art. | | comment | everyone laughs) | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | Where is this wonderful piece of art? | | Eddie | It's hanging in my room. (more laughter) | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | | | Eddie | Thank you, bye. | | DJ | Bye Lutzie. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | | | Interpreter | Martinez likes to know what is it that you are afraid of most in life. | | comment | pause) | | Eddie | Hum ... | | DJ | Tough questions, right? | | Eddie | No, yeah, that's good. What am I afraid of most? Um ... hum ... well I'm glad I don't have an answer. (laughs) | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | I am afraid of nothing. | | comment | everyone laughs) | | Eddie | No, I'm afraid of things like my loved ones being taken away, or something like that. Um ... I'm, I guess in fear of controlling my destiny, or of not being able to control my destiny. That's why I vote. That's why I speak out when I see something going wrong. I don't want something to go wrong for me and not have everyone speak on my behalf. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | Okay Martinez? | | | | Eddie | Thank you, and ... bye. | | DJ | And Derek is calling. Hello Derek. | | | | Interpreter | Derek likes to know what connotation the pictures you put on your booklet with you, I mean with you, there are hundreds of pictures. He likes to hear stories to hear stories to those pictures. | | Eddie | Okay. Well, we'll start with the, if you fold out the CD, we'll start with the one in the top corner. We'll go through every one. | | Interpreter | Oh my god. | | comment | everyone laughs) | | Eddie | I think there's a ... one's been handed to me. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | There's only a 104, a 144. | | Interpreter | He's got his own CD out now. | | comment | No Code is translated here, and subsequently as No Code, is there no German equivalent to this phrase?) | | DJ | Okay, Eddie, you got it in front of you? | | Eddie | I sure do, yeah. Pick one. | | Interpreter | Derek's choosing a picture. | | DJ | How 'bout the apple? | | Eddie | Well, I'll tell you what. If you open it all up, all four panels, you understand? All four. You can see something in there. I mean you might not be able to now, but I'll just tell everybody, that it's ... it's called No Code because it's full of code, it's misinformation. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | | | Eddie | So yeah, we're interested in art. | | DJ | Yeah, so Derek got the picture, we all got the picture. | | | | DJ | He loved the concert. Thanks for calling. | | Eddie | Thank you, and thanks to Jerome Turner, and everybody else in the band for participating. | | comment | a portion of unknown length is cut out from the taped version I have, which explains why this doesn't flow linearly...rest assured I will keep trying to get a copy of the "full" show) | | DJ | I remember Eddie you being overwhelmed during you playing your first Berlin gig ever. You replied, wow that's a great response for our band as unknown as we are. | | Eddie | That's still the way I feel. I still don't feel like we're completely ... um ... um ... no, maybe it's not that. No matter how known we are I'll always be overwhelmed. I'm still the same ... I'm afraid I'm still the fourteen year old kid that I always was. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | comment | a loud gulp) | | DJ | That brings me to our next listener. We have one last round of listeners. We're here with Eddie Vedder and the Eddie Vedder Radio Show. It's Urick. | | | | Eddie | Hi. | | Interpreter | Okay Eddie, Urick wants to know, he respects you a lot for your marketing policy, don't do videos for the last few years, you have very fair increase, as the cost of your tickets is half of what other bands charge in the Deutschland, and you're also not doing too many interviews. So he respects you a lot for that, but he wonders why you do it after you have become a superstar. So, in other words, why didn't you do it right from the start? | | Eddie | Ah, yeah, that's a great question. I don't think we understood those things from the start. I don't think we understood that you become a commodity. I don't think we understood that, we thought that was how you got your songs to be heard. And in some ways maybe it is. I regret, looking back, there are some things I would change. But I think that a band like Fugazi, who has a lot of these same beliefs, I think they're better because of it. I think we were na in the beginning, and maybe we had faith in that these things could be good. A video can be an art piece, an interview can be a way of communicating to a large amount of people at once. We lost our faith soon after that, and decided to do whatever we could do to get around that. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | Eddie, I know you would like to discuss things like that, so I want to add a question. There would have been a role model for you, and I'm thinking about Rex H and the Wipers and Rex H always refused to do interviews in the beginning, said he wouldn't even be on the cover of the record, said he wanted music to be for music's sake, art for art's sake. And he never did any video at all, and he's very shy doing interviews, so that would have been a role model back in the late 70's in Portland, next to Seattle. | | Eddie | Yeah. He was right. I feel like I've exposed myself much too much, and I might be doing that exact thing right now. But sometimes it's nice to talk to people. You know you don't usually get questions as good as the ones we've had tonight. I mean that last question was great, and a few of the others were great. So I think the way you should interviews is actually have real people that listen to your music ask you the questions, and not people who work in music and are tired and cynical. | | DJ | Yeah, but there are people who work in music, who are still fans. | | Eddie | There are, there are, I'm talking about the 90 percent that I've bumped into. You're very right. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | DJ | One last listener, it's Lecie, the one we lost on the way. Hello Lecie. | | Eddie | She's not afraid after all. | | | | Interpreter | So we're getting a real discussion right here, Lecie wants to know what is so bad about being a superstar, what is so bad about being commercial. She actually wants to know what type of insider tip you would give someone who wants to be a rock star, and a superstar in the music business. She can't understand, being on the outside, what is so undesirable about being a superstar. | | Eddie | (pause) I think if it's everything that you think about as a kid, then there is nothing wrong with it. If this is what you dream about and it turned out to be what you thought it was, then there would be nothing to be unhappy about. You want to translate that? | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) | | Eddie | But, when you get there, it's much different than you expected. | | | | Eddie | People start taking things from you. They take things that are important to you like your freedom and your privacy. And the main thing for me, and I don't mean to just blurt this out, but I've had people, I don't know if there's a German word, but people stalking me, wanting to kill me because they think we're in love, because I write songs about them, you know, total strangers, so you can't walk outside the house, or you can't ... this isn't something you could ever dreamed about and when it happens to you it's really crazy. It's something you could only really understand if you were in my shoes. I realize it's hard. Believe me, I've had so many great experiences because of music. In the end I'm thrilled, and I'm happy to be here, and I think that most of what people think that I'm upset about I'm not. It's no problem, I'm fine, there's no problem. But there's been a couple of things that have been a little crazy and I can only ask you to understand, and let's talk to her more after you interpret it. | | Interpreter | So Eddie, I kind of answered your question, because you answered it before, Lecie wants to know that after all, are you happy with the position you are in? | | Eddie | Lutzie... | | | | Eddie | Lecie, I'm sorry ... I'm doing my best. I'm thrilled. (laughs) | | | | Eddie | What? | | DJ | It's that beep word. Fuck. | | Eddie | I'm more thrilled than fucked? | | | | Eddie | Well, anybody in life, you know has to accept the challenges. We talked to somebody earlier who maybe had a severe handicap, and they're raising to it. So I must be the biggest asshole in the world if my only handicap is being a quote, unquote rock star. I better fuckin deal with it. You know, it's a good challenge to have. I feel ridiculous, I sound ridiculous saying, I'm getting better at it. | | | | Eddie | Okay, I would advise if ... that's right. I would advise, if you're pure about the music, do whatever you can to hang onto the music part of it. Don't get involved in anything else. Be very protective and ... and, I guess, try to enjoy yourself. | | | | Eddie | Well, be protective with, you know, things like we talked about before - with interviews and videos. Don't become a "star". | | | | Eddie | Because it's a hollow Easter egg or a hollow Easter bunny, you know? There's nothing inside it. Be a ... do what you do for music and go out there every night and play as hard as you can and feel good about that. But don't, don't ... don't get lost. | | Interpreter | Quote of the evening. (German Interpretation) | | | | Eddie | Lissie | | Interpreter | Lissie says that a certain amount of stardom always belongs to a person if they get famous. | | Eddie | Yeah, I didn't ... I was too naive to know (laughter) and I still am. I'm still just like ... just a normal guy. (laughing) I'm just a normal, little guy. | | | | Eddie | See and that's, yeah, that's not my uhh ... it's hard to ... that's what I've had a hard time with. That is what I've had a hard time ... yeah. So, Lissie, thanks for .... | | | | Eddie | Yeah, I wish we could have coffee because this is an interesting subject. I could go all night long. | | | | Eddie | (laughing) Sure. | | Interpreter | She's taking your word for it. (German Interpretation) | | | | Interpreter | Thank you, Lissie. | | Eddie | Bye. | | Interpreter | (German Interpretation) We continue with more music, Eddie. | | Eddie | Yeah, we're going to play just a couple more songs. I don't know what's going to be after this, but this one is a John Lennon song and I don't know how it will apply to you but it's called "Jealous Guy." | | Song | John Lennon - "Jealous Guy" | | Eddie | All right then. Since it's my radio station and I can choose the last song, well, tonight there's only one that I could play and I'm going to make an ass of myself and just say thanks to everybody. Thank you very much for the opportunity to do this, which is be on the radio with you. To do this, which is play concerts for you. To do this, which is to share our music. It's really a nice thing. So that's pretty good. I pretty much made a fool of myself there. To be honest, we thank you. The only song that we could end with tonight - my little section of Eddie Vedder Radio (laughs) - is this next song by the Ramones and I wish you guys all the best. I hope to see you again. I hope we can do this again. | | Interpreter | Kein problem. | | Interpreter | Okay, yeah. I hope ... kein problem. (laughs) We'll see you guys later, Okay? | | Interpreter | (German Translation) | | Interpreter | We'll see you. Thanks, Eddie. | | Eddie | Goodnight. Auf wiedersehen. | | song | The Ramones - "Rock 'N' Roll Radio | | comment | DJ in German, introduces next song. | | Interpreter | Neil Young and Pearl Jam - "Rockin in the Free World" |
