Yeah, I agree that the Spectrum is more of a national venue. And Pearl Jam has played a lot of legendary shows. But Philadelphia is also a major city with millions of people. Pittsburgh and it's surrounding areas have maybe a little over a million. But for every major tour, Pearl Jam plays Pittsburgh and they play it very well. I will almost gurantee they play Pittsburgh sometime this spring/early summer if they do tour. They have played great shows here, most notably their last one: '06 World Wide Tour. It was the first show of the second American leg, and they absolutely destroyed the place. If you were in the arena that night, it was loud, wasn't it? I swear that during "Rocking in the Free World," every single person was clapping.

You can tell the band are fans of the city, and the city is fans of the band.

We are the city of champions, afterall.

i was there, and ritfw was amazing, one of my fav versions!!!
and the my two hands tag after daughter, WOW!
i'd like to see pj play mellon one more time

but, didn't ed say "don't hate us, but pittsburg is not our favorite place" after man of the hour? ( or something like that)

"Ok. If I smoke a joint, Pittsburgh will soon be my favorite place on the planet... someone throw a lighter."

If I had a wish I'd wish that they play all songs off backspacer. What do yinz think the odds of that are?
