Last exit? Leavin Here?

Thoughts?

I hope they have something special up their sleeves.

    I sure hope it's not Yellow Ledbetter -- the last song ever played at the Spectrum needs to be something fast and upbeat...

    I vote for either Gonna Fly Now or Eye of the Tiger. The epic Balboa-Creed I &II battles were held there. It would be the only true fitting tribute. 8-)

    Philly Freedom might be too predictable though they played it in Camden in 98.

    I think you mean an EPIC FAIL ... with a whole catalogue of brilliant songs, why the hell would you want to hear them do this and waste 3 - 4 minutes on what could be a Pearl Jam song?

    Agree 100%!

    Can you imagine, nearing the tail end of the final encore, lights dimmed, long pause in between songs, and then in comes Gossard & McCready: DAH. DAH-DAH-DAH. DAH-DAH-DAH. DAH-DAH-DAAAAAAAAHHHHH.....
    Place would come APART.

    Because on that particular night in that particular building, its not all about Pearl Jam, and Pearl Jam know it. Its not every day that a band gets to close out a historic venue in a big US city, and the Philly folks (and maybe only the Philly folks) know what I'm talking about.

    because that song is like the spectrum's theme song. And they could do it as a tag instead of ending with it - so it's not a whole song. it would be sweet for any fan of Rocky or Philly sports.

    BTW, i'm not going to be there anyway.

    C'mon, that song is a freakin' joke ... and joke for PJ to play, even if it is in Philly. there are hundreds of songs that are better than that ... by Pearl Jam, or not.

    Ok, honest question ... if we poll all the Philly Pearl Jam fans ... what percentage of them would you say think Pearl Jam doing Eye of the Tiger would be a great way to close out the Spectrum?

    Full disclosure ... you're damned if you do and your damned if you don't.

    If you think the majority agree with me ... I've proven my point, that song should not be played, what a waste.

    If you think the majority agree with you ... I've lost all respect for Philly Pearl Jam fans ... ridiculous.

    Pearl Jam has covered Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Stop taking yourself and your Pearl Jam obsession so seriously.

    pearl jam obsession? ???

    the thread is about "The Last Song EVER in the Spectrum" ... I'm just stating I think Philly fans can do better ... much better than Eye of the Tiger.
