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.

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! 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!
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!!!!
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!!!
~dee
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 and i have been to a few classic one's .....
Yup, great night, though I wish I had paced myself a little better ..
'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
They had Brother on the setlist!? I wish I hadn't seen that. That was the one song that would have made tonight, undoubtedly the greatest thing since sliced bread. As it was, it was undoubtedly the greatest Pearl Jam show I have ever seen, but Brother would have probably put it up and over anything else I have EVER seen.
I'm just now getting caught up with things, n3 just looks absolutely incredible.
when I saw the setlist scan, I had the exact thought as Kraven. Not that the night needed anything more, but Brother in E2 would have been just perfect for the list surrounding it.
THANK YOU EDDIE ABOUT WHAT YOU DID WITH JONI.....SHE DESERVE IT
Congrats Joni! What a great memory to have!
The entire night was total KARMA. It gives me chills to think about how perfectly this all fell together. I had previously hooked Joni up with her original ticket for that night and we began corresponding after that. I had also first met DemetriosPearlJam as a result since I have the same first name as she. I then coined us the Aussie Joni and Yankee Joni to keep up straight on the boards. When Ed started talking about a car accident and Joni, the tears started pouring down my face since it was all just meant to be that she was there and it all came together. I finally got to meet her in person the next night and she is a beautiful and wonderful person. She shared her experience and showed me her photos and we giggled like school girls. We talked awhile and it's remarkable how life throws you some horrible curves at times but in the end it all works out and as she explained to me, her life has been going very well since then. A truly remarkable woman and am proud to call my friend. I cherish the picture I have of the two "Joni's" and memory now of that night. I hope she has fun the rest of her trip in NYC and safe travels back to Australia. Besides this the setlist for this night was incredible and it is probably one of the best shows I have ever seen in 35 years of attending concerts including seeing the orginal Who.

Very cool! I see more and more proof of Karma every day. Glad you guys had fun. I'm VERY jealous of you seeing the original Who!! I saw them the last time they came to Tampa, which was awesome, but I never got to see John or Keith in person. I bet it was fantastic!!
Here's to karma, rock n roll, and taking care of each other.
Stellar show! The crowd was on top of things. I was in sec 210 and we were letting it all hang out.
Didn't see many people sitting down (only to light one up now and then). Had a fivesome with me from Buffalo, and gotta say the Philly peps were great to us. Appreciate it very much, the hospitality and whatnot.
The first set was a hardcore fan's set, but the encores left the casual fans with great memories to take away.
I wish I was back in the Spectrum right now! Can't stop thinking about it.

Yes I was fortunate to see them back in 74-75? along with the madman Moon. It was a remarkable experience for a young teenager. In this case it pays to be an older member, except after this past week at the Philly shows my body doesn't quite want to agree, .
As for Karma, I am true believer that it is passed along to one another. I also think that as part of a community we need to look out for each other. I have met and cherish my friendships with many members here and the concerts have become even better for me over the years. And now I get to share them with my son who is old enough to attend and has been raised on Pearl Jam music. Nice to hear others feel the same way. This band is the only one I would even consider travelling to see and I do it each year with my son right by my side. That too is an incredible rush. Nothing like sharing the excitement over a rare song that he's never heard and I haven't in years. During Out of My Mind the tears were streaming and my son understood why, too cool.
As the Who put it: Long Live Rock, I need it every day...
Cheers,
Joni

Good to know someone is raising their child right ;-). If we ever wind up at the same show, would be fun to meet you and your son. Long live rock, indeed.
LOL, Holly. Fortunately he's a great kid too and has been mentored by some of the other wonderful people in this community. He even changed his username to Dirty Little Tom after his hero and great Wishlist member. It's really a family and I hope our path's will cross someday soon - like the 2010 tour.

This night had to be my best Pearl Jam show in the 25 I have been to. I wrote kind of a long review/story on my blog if anyone wants to read. It was too long to post here, but it was REALLY hard to keep THAT show short.

just looking back on the setlist...HOLY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This might have been my favorite of the four....I mean....phew!
I agree. Night 4 was an experience, but this was the can't miss show.
ya think?
i loved both nights, and am not much for comparisons....but witnessing pj dress/perform as devo, playing whip it....well, that's just too good...... i'm just soooo glad i was there for BOTH!
i had originally really, really wanted to head to seattle, then to LA....couldn't do it.....glad i wound up in philly...

Yeah. I can't stop listening to the fan made boot of night 3. The audience was insane and that was one of the greatest setlists they've ever done. Everything flowed together and wasn't choppy like in Night 4. Just my opinion though.
Night 3 definitely cracks my top 5 list. Night 4 is a top 10er lol.
