    From all accounts, everyone hates when they play Camden, but ... let's be sure to count them as Philly shows when we want to throw up a meaningless competitive post. :roll:

    Who cares? Really?

    I've been to Camden about 50 times, pearl jam, radiohead, phish, so many shows. I love it. Locals can ferry, no hate here.

    And I was really just messing around, but yeah Mansfield isn't boston

    Alright, I'll buy the 'Philly-area' thing but to me it's not the same as playing Wachovia - it's in a different state for cripes sakes - for the sake of this post I'll comply but as a general statement I wish the band would start playing Wachovia again when they come to the Philly area like they did in '05.

    I could get to the Camden venue from my house (in Philly proper) in about ten minutes with a kayak.

    Not only that but compare the boots from 00 and 03 and 06 with Phillies from the same time, also played with the Stones here in '05, :lol: And you got the May-er-naisse Trio for your openers! :lol::lol:

    Depending on how you want to slice it...

    NYC proper- 13 shows + Ed Sullivan Theater Show
    NYS - Add 4 more shows to the above..

    NJ is right across the river from us... they got 16 shows in the same time frame.

    The only good thing that came out of Philly was the cheesesteak. As for Pearl Jam, I predict a tour stop in Boston proper BEFORE the Philly shows.

    well that's what i am saying....NYC vicinity ...meaning, NYC, jersey and long island.
    so indeed, i would say with the above mentioned shows.....NYC wins. 8-)


    seriously....we had irving plaza, the beacon show too....

    you sound like the bitter one since you initially ripped philly. It's OK, philly still has 4 PJ shows coming...and baseball playoffs. don't you wish pittsburgh still had a baseball team?

    pittsburgh is a AA city...2 sports. I go there all the time for work, it's a brutal place to visit

    Giant Stadium is in a different state and the NY teams play there. It's the same thing. Actually camden is closer to philly than the meadowlands are to NY

    You're using some skewed math there. Of the 16 NJ shows, 10 are Camden which is 5 minutes from Philly and 2 are Atlantic City which is like 45 minutes from Philly.

    The other 4 shows are North Jersey which is more the NYC metro area.

    given how i can get to shows on long island, NYC and northern NJ all under an hour.....i 'count' all the shows. and hell, apparently so does pearl jam. ;)


    so yea....even removing the camden shows still leaves about 21 for NYC vicinity within the same time frame. then again, i also don't know all the shows ben was/is counting...



    bottomline....


    NYC
    philly
    boston
    vicinities have gotten a shit-ton of shows all these years!
    and the fact that we all can travel to our sister cities quite easily ( i can get to philly under 2 hours, boston about 4) we get a LOT of love!
    i bet LA has fared quite well too.
    we are fortunate fans!
