To those who have never experienced a Philly crowd - more so than the actual show - you will absolutely love it. Every word to every song sung to the rafters by every single person in the venue.
This is exactly it! I was truly in awe of the crowd. I was way up in the rafters, and completely amazed because it did seem that every single person knew every word to every song - but me. I was a bit of slacker on some songs, but boy oh boy I can hum along with the best of them

it's true. the 03 spectrum show was by far the best crowd i have ever experienced...it was like a religious experience. lol
ok Philly peeps...calm down...the Boston shows are the same way..you're not special...let's not over hype your city...there's no need...we will all have an awesome time

I've seen 7 shows in Boston/Mansfield and 3 at MSG and that 4/28/03 crowd has never been recreated yet for me.

Same here...been to 4 Boston shows, and 2 MSG's. Nothing on it.
I went to both MSG shows last year and while i had an awesome time the Mansfield shows had better crowds...just the betterman "incident" last year during Mansfield I put both shows to shame...and the Boston Orpheum shows are legendary..and we all know about the experiment, even MSG '03 can't fuck with that!
ok Philly peeps...calm down...the Boston shows are the same way..you're not special...let's not over hype your city...there's no need...we will all have an awesome time
actually, that crowd was special
been up and down the east coast and that spectrum crowd was outta hand, better than msg or mansfield
(although the shows in mansfield and MSG were better ssshhhh)

Well, it was the first show in the city of Philadelphia in 11 years. The last time before the Spectrum that PJ played in Philly itself was the night before their first SNL appearance in 1992.
With Ben Harper and the R7 opening they will be the best overall shows hands down.
PJ will not find a better band to open on the east coast.
Actually the only way the Philadelphia shows will come close would be Kings of Leon as the opening band.
They might play longer at the Spectrum, but the overall concert experience will be the west coast shows.
Ben's new band is the REAL DEAL, I was lucky enough to catch him at the 9:30 club about 50 feet from the stage.
Actually Ben might put on a better show than PJ.
Well, if you attend a show to see the opening band, then you may be right. I've listened to East Coast and West Coast bootlegs, and I attended a PJ Philly show (oooooohlala Philly 05!) The san diego 06 shows basically *started* around the encores (according to how they were recorded.) The Philly show started the moment the first song started. I'm sure all shows will be incredible, and congratulations to those that are able to see them this year. However, if you ever attend a Philly show . . . .prepare for musical bounty from the heavens!
Well put. To those who have never experienced a Philly crowd - more so than the actual show - you will absolutely love it. Every word to every song sung to the rafters by every single person in the venue.
I honestly would hate that. I mean one or two songs maybe but every song? That would suck.

Nah, the crowd is the 7th member when they come to Philly. And if ya hate hearing 15,000 people singing in unison at the top of their lungs with a ton of passion and cannot appreciate that, then well, I don't know what to tell you. Welcome to Philadelphia, people.

No I totally hear ya...it's amazing when it happens on a couple of songs. I just think it would annoy me if it was a lot songs.
I'm not going to the show so SING AWAY PHILLY!

I'll take my 4 intimate shows at the 6000 seat Gibson then roll down to San Diego for the weekend to enjoy some PJ and some more beach. You guys enjoy the Spectrum in "beautiful" Philly. With your big d*cks and the entire crowd singing to the rafters!
“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

(and i'm sorry, but i've been to the 03 and 08 msg shows and i think they were overhyped/overrated!
I agree with you on the 08 MSG but 03 was right up there with 03 spectrum, I think to me because of them playing MSG after 911
I honestly would hate that. I mean one or two songs maybe but every song? That would suck.

It was 2 years later. What did 9/11 have to do with anything?
No I totally hear ya...it's amazing when it happens on a couple of songs. I just think it would annoy me if it was a lot songs.
I'm not going to the show so SING AWAY PHILLY!
I'm not so sure about that. I had never seen or really heard of Liam and I was somewhat impressed by their music, presence and energy opening for EV.
Society with Ed & Jerry Hannan out of this world.

Ed talked about it during MSG #1 and how they were happy to be back in NYC
I went to shows in LA, San Diego, and Vancouver, and those shows were kind of weak compared to shows I've seen on the East Coast.
Now, the Gorge in 2005 was the best show I've ever seen.

I can't stand the lead singers voice of KOL.
East coast will be better cause there only playing one city on the whole coast with no opening act. Pj for 3+ hours=heaven

This is comical to me. Ben is the greater talent? Far superior vocal range?? What the hell are you smoking???
