    I don't know where you were sitting, everyone was on their feet as far as I could see on the floor and the entire 1st level all the way around. Great energy around me all night.

    Fans were weak, I wouldn't have played til 2am even if I paid til 3...philly has nothing to brag about. It was obvious during the sind-a-longs that is a another puccy face crowd. Weak. Band was expecting more from fans, fans were expecting hendrix joplin lennon jfk and the lord. Ed even said FU its us its me who else u need. Shitbag crowds every night and oh by the way its not about sitting standing or swaying vs rock dancing its about the vibe which was 1.7 on 10 scale. Ed ed mike matt jeff stone and spectrum deserved better than a pansie asz crowd.

    there were sitters in my section (210).

    However, those that stood carried the slack. great crowd

    maybe it wasnt quite as good as the best of crowds...

    it was nowhere near abnormally bad or anything like that

    Dude, if this is the most passionate thing you have to say after going to those four shows this week then I am sorry, you pretty much fail at life itself.

    Actually, you're really just sad. Just a sad and pathetic little bitch who is just miserable with you're own position in life. Sorry man, hope things get better for you someday so you can spare all of us from your bitterness.

    I agree, there wasn't much energy from the fans. I had floor seats and tonight probably had the least energy from the crowd out of all four nights. But I rocked my ass off. 4 Epic shows!!! Thanks Pearl Jam for bringing it every night! And thanks 10c!

    Im as much as a philly homer as there is, TONIGHTS crowd was the worst crowd i've ever witnessed in my 14 Pj shows by far. Shameful,if we had fridays crowd they might have played until 2. Great show but i felt embarrsed hell even stone got on the mic and said come on u just got sweet lew.
    Go Birds!!!!

    401A was a shit crowd. Not too happy with the 10C about that placement.

    Having gone to 3 shows (Wednesday, Thurs and Fri) I would have to agree that this was the weakest crowd of the 3, but it was still good overall. There were a lot of tenclub members at this show so its hard to call it a complete Philly crowd. Friday's crowd was def the best by far. Remember its was a long show so its hard for the crowd to sustain energy for that long, especially for those that had been drinking for hours.... I really didn't think having the string section there again was necessary for the fourth night in a row. The band even said that they were trying to "pace" themselves. There were also a lot of Philly people at this show who probably weren't huge Pearl Jam fans, but just wanted to be at the final show of the Spectrum. Also tenclub def fucked some memeber's by putting the ones with good numbers in weird places on the floor and the side of the stage. Also, everyone was expecting some surprise guests and it was a little disappointing that their weren't any. There were also a couple repeats...I would have like an opening of Release and maybe save Why Go for the end of one of the encores.....also i was really hoping for Brain of J....Overall I thought the crowd was good, but for the casual fan they probably didn't know any of the songs other than the hits...plus you gotta remember having seats on the floors limits how much you can rock out, esp if you are squeezed in between some fatties.

    I must of been at a different concert,,,sec 217 was going crazy...people always look for the negative ,,,its amazing

    1st post-been to over 30 shows. Pearl Jam blew the roof off the Spectrum. The crowd was a let down. Night 3 had way more energy. I noticed no comments from Ed about the crowd noise. Notice how Stone had to say "cmon people-Sweet Leu!". The only ones that were truly rockin out in our section (sec 101, row 14) were the dude and his girl from NY in white, and my girlfriend and I. Everybody else was sitting down or just standing. And who cares how the Phillies are doing? It was an epic show! Holy crap-Bugs, Satans Bed, Crown of Thorns, Sweet Leu, Out of my Mind. EPIC! Thank you Pearl Jam for an amazing show! And thank you 10c!

    I could not make it to night 4 but I was at the other 3- I sang, danced, jumped around the whole time. I was a walking zombie on Thursday morning. Some of us get more into it then others, but that doesn't mean they are not having a good time. Having said that, I did get annoyed when they played a "rare" song that long timers love and so many sat and started texting. I got 300 level seats for 2 shows and looking down lot of phones came out during Hold on among others. The guy in front of me said he didn't want to hear their new stuff. But, he went nuts during Jeremy and Alive. What you gonna do? I still love the idea of 10 club only shows. This is the best band in the world! 4 showsin Phillie!! Only shows on the east coast! We have NO right to complain.

    The funny thing is people are bitching about the "Philly" crowd however as you can tell from your seat placement most of the show was 10C!! And how many of those people were from out of town??

    So really what does does this so called shitty crowd say about the 10C? :roll:

    JC29856 wouldnt know a good time if it came and sat on his fuckin face......learn how to have a good time and don't base your experience on what a few people in your section may or may not be doing. Been to dozens of shows @ the Spectrum and it was a "Wow" moment just looking at a sea of 17,000++++ having a fucking blast....there is a reason Pearl Jam jumped at the chance to have this opportunity....it was for the 99.5% of the fans that were rocking their ass off....not harvesters of sorrow like JC29856....

    Expectations ran WAY too high for this... Everyone wanted Jesus to descend and sing alternating verses on some really rare song.... Even though Jesus doesn't exist and those really rare songs are really rare for good reason.

    Night 3 ruled.

    The crowds were great. Sitting behind the stage on the 30th and looking out amongst the waves of people, arms in the air was incredible! Last night I saw so many fans enoying the show in their own ways- quiet couples who smiled and did little jumps whens their fave chords struck. The 400s were rockin and props to the guys in 202 who were motivating the people around them. I put on my game face and prepped for these shows and I feel we all done good.

    I could swear that Eddie said something like "Thanks for a great 4 nights. Each one was better than the last."
    Sounds like commentary to me. * shrug *

    Insanity. Anyone who said the crowd sucked was stoned or not really at the show.
    My 18th show and last night was easily the best. The crowd was amped. Epic night, and Ive seen some memorable shows.

    Not a huge fan of Philly fans but I thought the crowd was extremely loud and sang along to everything. Even the newer songs had major singalongs. I don't know what you guys are talking about. It's possible because the setlist was pedestrian. It took me forever to get into the show. The first 20+ songs were repeats and always plays.

    Friday Night's crowd = 10/10. Best I've ever had the pleasure of being part of.

    I would put Saturday Nights crowd with Hartford's from last year- a crowd seeing a great setlist but not completely there for whatever reason= 6/10.

    I just counted off the first twenty . I beg to differ that You Are, Pilate, Rats, I'm Open, and Out of my Mind are pedestrian, repeats, or always plays.

    Wait... so maybe a really "rare" and "weird" setlist does not a good concert make?
