文中還提到Roskilde將成立基金會
Roskilde Festival organizers recently set up the
Roskilde 2000 Tragedy Fund. According th the official Web site
at www.roskilde-festival .dk, the fund will support "reseach and
development of health and security measures for large gatherings of
young people in connection with cultural events, esp. musical events."
結束前談到了PJ最近的tour
Last month, Pearl Jam kicked off a U.S. tour, its first string of
performances since Europe. The first leg ends Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
The second leg begins Oct. 4 in Montreal, Canada, and finishes up
with the band's fourth benefit concert Nov. 5 at KeyArena.
McCready said the final show in the band's recent three-night stand at
Jones Beach on New York's Long Island was one of the best of the tour.
"The night's theme was recovery, as the band absorbed the inspiration
it usually provides," wrote New York Times critic Ann Powers in a review
of the show. Vedder asked for the crowd's help in singing along to the
cathartic "Jeremy." "The fans instantly complied, and in such moments,
PJ must have realized the value of its caring, slow-growth strategy."
Despite the tragedy in Denmark, McCready said the band is in an upbeat
mood and is looking forward to its Seattle show. "We are all mentally
pretty tough," he said, "I feel very good, very positive. And the fans been
really supportive."
After he returns home during a break in the tour, McCready will perform
with his side band, the Rockfords, Sep. 15 at the Showbox. He recently
added another tattoo to his already well-decorated body. "I have seven
now on my arms and pecs," he said. "It makes me look a lot
tougher than I really am."
