    Wow wow wow, got to the spectrum just in time to hear the sound checks whilst picking up my ten club tix, section 214, row 13, amazing seats. Much better then I thought it was going to be. The boys really seamed to enjoy themselves playing the new songs. Push me- pull me was awesome.

    I'm pretty sure it was all ten club around the section, high energy, good people,


    Till Friday...

    Mike and Ed joined Social D for Ball and Chain

    Updates on the World Series with a woman and a big sign like they do in boxing between rounds

    Ed clarifies that they're not playing every song they know but are trying to play every song from every record.

    Come Back is scrapped after a big flub

    Ed affectionately tells the philly strings, "try and keep up with this fuckers" before lukin

    Last Kiss is played to the back with Jeff Stone Mike and Matt on a tiny platform...well check youtube

    Another great one, can't wait til Friday

    Fantastic show and great 10C seats. I realized tonight how much I truly love every song that Pearl Jam performs; I can't say that about too many other bands. My 21st show at the Spectrum over 34 years and the first time I was ever on the floor. I found that kind of amazing. I can't wait for Saturday!

    This was probably one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. The energy was awesome, band was in top form(couple flubs). I don't know if nights 3/4 can top this.

    Oh and I should state that my seats kicked ass... Sec 201, Row 3

    Also, poster people, they even had posters left over from last night so if you wanted to get some there should be plenty to go around.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    Bruce was going to be there but his cousin(and assistant tour manager for 10 years) passed away yesterday and it's doubtful he will be there.

    This is my third show on this tour, and it is by far the best. Saw them in Seattle (1) and LA (4). The set list was AMAZING, wow.

    I keep telling people, that I'm no longer going to waste money seeing them on the West Coast because the East Coast shows are so much better. Seriously.

    I was 4th row, center and everyone I met was totally rocking out. So unlike the other cities.

    Social D rocked the fucking house too... caught their drumsticks and got their set list. Seeing Eddie and Mike come out for Ball and Chain made my night.

    Great SHow tonight..definately more people there than the first show.. I thought the energy was good, but it always seems to be at a high level anyway.. The spectrum is such a great place to see a concert..Night 1 for me was a little better than tonight even though they dusted off a few rarities each night. I guess ed wasnt kidding when he said they were going to play every song theyve wriiten because there have been only 2 repeats so far ( the fixer and just breathe ) .. Alot of the songs I could go without hearing were played on night 2 ( last kiss, wishlist, elderly woman, evacuation ).. which only means the best is forthcoming IMO.. Looking forward to the home strech!! Keep on rockin boys !!

    These shows are even more special because they are the only east coast shows this year so you got people coming from as far away as Florida from the south and Canada from the North to go to the shows. A friend of mine from South Carolina is driving up for the Friday and Saturday shows.

    Amazing show. I had great seats (non-10C, sorry) and have never been that close to the band. Social D was great, and seeing Mike and Ed join in on Ball & Chain was cool. PJ was just wicked-good. There were a few really bad sound issues and a couple of flubs (they never did get around to playing Come Back...). Push Me Pull Me started badly, but they finished it strong. I thought the roof was going to come off the place during Garden and Evenflow. It was GREAT to see the Backspacer tunes so well received (I remember that not being the case with some of the Avocado songs on the last tour). Lots of Phillies crowd-pandering, but that was cool and it kept everyone into it. I forgot how much I love the Spectrum - it felt so cozy and sounded so good compared to the 'Whatever-Center' in Camden and even Wachovia Center. It brought back many memories being back in that building and I was sad to think that Saturday will be the last day I'll ever be in it. Ah, well, can't stop progress I suppose...

    Definitely a great show. I'll have to hear the boot to be sure, but it ranks just below Philly 05 as my personal favorite. Can't wait until Saturday. I just hope they still have something left in the tank for it!

    It looked like Ed hurt his ankle or something in the 2nd encore - I saw him trip on a cord and then limp around a little. Anyone else notice this? He'll probably feel that one tomorrow morning after the wine wears off.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    A Dr J slam dunk tonight for me!! Started off solid with Social D playing mi favorito "Mommy's Little Monster" - and Ed and Mike joining on Ball and Chain- these guys have a killer sound. Good seats on the floor, but couldn't see much- nice that we had a crowd who were into the show AND had Phillies updates real time! These last 2 nights, I really have been amazed, but Push Me, Pull Me blew me away...Esp hearing Ed say something like "This is one of the most fucked up songs we ever wrote"! Loved the "Try and keep up with this one fuckers" befor Lukin. The 2 guys who had the "Mike is God" tshirts getting side stage must have been stoked- what a cool thing. Down was great with MN and hearing that he aided on original vocals for this...more later.zz
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    Awesome show. The boys are in high spirits and so spot on fantastic playing songs from all albums with surprise tags-- there was one special moment during the sing-along Elderly Woman... where we sang so loud and proud that Ed stopped playing, opened his arms and said " That's so fucking beautiful" ; then picked right up with the band again. Maybe one of those "you had to be there" experiences, a' la Mansfield 06/28/08.

    Songs Pearl Jam have not performed for a long time may seem rusty to the nit-pickers among us; however, my take on these live versions is that they are miraculous no matter what.

    A couple of notes:

    Eddie was having a blast. He sang "Lukin" and "Yellow Ledbetter" with amazing enunciation; the clarity of his voice and the volume of fans singing along bouncing through the acoustics in that special place....WOW

    Earlier Ed had told of the sound check when sunlight streamed through windows of the Spectrum and it made him think of god, if there is one

    Mike played his ass off and was spotlighted for long solos, did incedible Hendrix tag to end the show.

    During 'Wishlist", when lyrics were fumbled, Eddie quickly covered with some made-up on the spot stuff, anyone catch what he sang?

    Now my new favorite line: "Ok I'm going to swear, but affectionately, let's see if you fuckers can keep up with this" (please correct if I'm off the mark a bit)

    Tomorrow our day off, don't want this incredible journey to end, but this weekend is gonna sizzle

    My favorite of all the shows I've been to.

    Why?

    They played Evacuation!

    (And they aborted Come Back.) ;)

    had great 10 club seats - section 213, row 3

    in my opinion tonight was better than last night (which I thought would be tough to beat). It seemed like a big party, everyone singing along, a lot of energy.

    I thought the baseball game would be a distraction, but it actually added to the atmoshpere, so glad the phillies were winning - it added an extra lift to the place.

    hope they finish Come Back

    I am still wide awake!!!!

    What a special night. Two more to go. Can it get any better? I say it can!

    One of the Highlights of the night: Lukin. Ed to the string Quartet: 'Try and follow me on this one fuckers!'
