*** Philadelphia 3 Fanviews Here 10/30/09 ***

thank you pearl jam and ten club. again. 23rd or 24th show. best setlist i've seen, best crowd i've been a part of and not counting ed solo, my first floor seats since 93. it was so good i didn't need and don't regret skipping night 4. it was a calculated risk, but angel or temple were the only way they could top it for me. phew, btw. gonna see my friend gave me a scare, seattle 1 was my other show this tour, but by song 5 any fear of another fair weather fan setlist was obliterated. in hiding, cropduster, tremor christ, parting ways, sonic reducer, hold on, mamasan, in my tree, light years, deep, baba, untitled, breath, whipping, ed joining bad religion... that's a full tour's worth of good shit. in one night. it's unthinkable. i'll still be talking about this show in 10 years.

he still stands

The only way I know how to describe this show is to say it was a religious experience. Yeah, that may sound trite, but I don't give a shit. God left me alone for three hours Friday night. Cosmic energies filled every corner of the room and ran through my veins. It was perfect.

Okay I may have been a little crunk, but that is how I remember it.

There were many highlights and songs that made my jaw drop, but for me the best part was Light Years. Or was it Present Tense? Or Breathe? Maybe Parting Ways? That kick-ass version of Crazy Mary... Given to Fly... Tremor Christ! or Mamasan Trilogy... maybe In My Tree... oh I don't know. It was all amazing.

Best show I've ever been to! (#7)

I am still HIGH from this show. Ed was so fucken intense he nailed every song from that incredibile set list. Nail it! Best show of my life.

I think Night 4 was incredible for the novelty of it (the length, rarities, Halloween, final Spectrum show, etc.) but Night 3 was the better show and quite possibly the best show I have seen yet.

The set list was perfect and the crowd energy was just outstanding.

Amazing show!!! Anybody else notice they left Alive and Baba off the setlist in the tour section?? Glad to see it's on here. Can't wait for the boots!

i want to thank eddie and the boys for putting together 1 of the worst set lists in rock and roll history. what a disgrace!! did not want to go to the last show because i had to work the next day but if i would have known they would throw crap out on friday night i would have stayed home. i have been a fan since the very beginning but they should be ashamed to shovel this crap on fans who pay a lot of money

Nice first post from a "fan since the very beginning." Hope you save your money and bitching next time they come around. If you'd read through this thread at all, you're truly in the very, very small minority. Everyone else seem to me to be true fans from the beginning who had the night of their life. Shame you can't see it that way.

Thank you Sharon!!! Hey, Caruso, next time save your money, save us all the trouble and stay home. You don't have to love every song they've ever recorded, but don't call yourself a longtime fan and then complain about one of the best shows ever performed, especially in that historic building that means so much to all of us. I hope someday you find a band that you actually are a true fan of. I also hope you find some positivity along the way.

I was so excited when they played 'Crazy Mary' and 'Footsteps'. Closing with 'Alive' and 'Baba OReilly' was amazing. Great show!

This may go down as an EPIC set list

HOLD ON
DEEP

This blows away anything that resembles the first two shows

EPIC

How will we top this tomorrow?

Couldn't have said it better myself, epic is just right, and so is inexplicable...

Thank you

i have to say, i was totally psyched to hear gonna see my friend as an opener! i will also admit i was soooo much in pearl jam withdrawl, not having seen the full band since mansfield I last june!....that sure, i was totally easy to please. that said....it was a FANTASTIC show! footsteps - thank you pearl jam! i truly loved this setlist, cannot wait to relive it all with the boot! 8-) these last 2 shows, my 29th and 30th, just illustrate to me once more just WHY i continue to go out of my way to get to see this band LIVE as they reward me over and over..



also, i have to say, thank you 10c! i was VERY pleasantly surprised with my seats. for only the 2nd time ever on my own 10c # - and not a GA show - i was on the floor. i love being sidestage - no complaints - b/c i definitely like to SEE......but this show and east rutherford II i was situated in the 2nd section of the floor, so while not up front...not too far back...and sooo enjoyable! 10.30 was about row 27, center section, seat 3....so was great! i was fully expecting really shit seats due to the demand for this gig, was just HAPPY to even score 10c tix, so this was a very, very awesome surprise!

Night 3 .. Sec 102 .. Row 20 .. Seat 7!

What an AMAZING FUCKING DAY!!!!! Preparty first, was another great time. Won a signed Tom Tomorrow poster! Got a few freebie goodies passed around. The weather was just sweet!

The seats tonight was great. Sitting next to Jim (jimbojones1138) tonight! The show again was fanominal! Seeing mamson played backwords, Sonic Reducer, Baba, BREATH .. oh mama! It was amazing. The friends who sat on the left of us scored front row seats the other night. They were so flipping this night, so wore we!

When Ed talked about Joni, seeing her come downstairs in tears from the left side of us (mike's side), gave us all goosebumps. Brings back memories of month's back. Joni asked me if I knew anybody in Hawaii. To hook up etc.. I knew 2 friends on my Facebook account, Bill & Mary who could help out. Things were set. Days after the crash, hearing what happen. Tears on my face, with new's they had her in their arms, almost pronounced ... .. But lord helped her to get well. It was faith & friendship that kept things together. It was my first time seeing Joni, Night 1 @ the preparty. I saw those TimTam's but missed out on a crunch. D'oh! Maybe next time. Think she's now in NYC. Safe travels back to Australia, Joni!

After the show, yet again, we all went back to McFaddens. Time was getting late, but we were getting hungry. Zack & Bobby were to be going to Pat's for some Philly Cheese Steaks. Something I haven't tried yet. So we tagged along. Those were so good. The line up @ Pat's & Geno's (who was across the street) was huge. By the window we could see crates of Cheese Whiz. I've been to Costco many times, and swear I have never seen these huge can's before. Got a Philly Cheese Steak with Oinions, Frutiopia & a sweet Pizza Pie Fries. Pizza Pie Fries, mama mia! Those were so gooooooooood!!!!

This show is right up there with Seattle 2 (2000) State College (2003) The Vic (2006) Grand Rapids (2006) and London (2005)....maybe the best EVER

fantastic show! section 321A row 10....first time not having 10c seats because i got shut out...but the view behind the band was so incredible! i think i might want these seats more often...

thanks to jim for all your help! i loved being able to see the band from behind (love how on my ticket it says **REAR VIEW**...hahhaha) and all the little things going on especially the girl from australia coming down the sides and being able to watch the show from the side...beautiful! also seeing the crowd rocking out all around amazing.

thanks to all the folks giving me high fives coming up and down the stairs the crowd around was pretty sweet. loved every minute....just wish i had gone to all the shows!!!

Awesome show and crowd!!! Was that the first time ever for HOLD ON?! And Jeremy with the string quartet!
In My Tree, Cropduster, Sonic Reducer...as ED said, this is a crowd that the Spectrum desreves!!!

Missed out on 10 C tix, (157...) but would have been too far down on the floor. Behind the stage above BOOM
was a great view of everything!!!

I might have to rank this show as the best i have attended just looking at the set list 8-) and i have been to a few classic one's .....
