**Philadelphia Fanviews Here**

Wow. Wow!! What a show man. They pulled out alot of the shevled songs. Before Crown of Thorns he said "we only play this song for special occasions, and man tonight is special." Eddie was feeling the vibe and was smiling and dancing on stage more than I've seen in years. During Betterman he let the crowd sing a few verses than clapped and said "you guys blew away Atlantic City". Last Wish was phenomenal. What a great show.

The feedback problem was only for Crazy Mary. There was this awful noise for what seemed like 10 seconds (maybe an amp blew), and the band had to stop the song.

Eddie said it freaked him out, and he apologized to Mary saying he never publicly called her insane. He jokingly said he would never play the song again live after what happened. Stone apparently convinced them to continue it, and Ed made the sign of the cross as they picked back up where the song left off.

It was hilarious. And as far as Ed messing up, I'd say this was his best show of the tour lyrically. He didn't mess up hardly at all, and neither did the band. You'd be doing yourself an injustice by not buying this boot.

Hell, this should be a DVD!

I am now banging my head on the wall because my husband and I couldn't take time off to go to this show. I wasn't too upset to begin with cause I hate the Philly area but, the setlist looks awesome. I'm so jealous of you people that got to go.

Before Crazy Mary he said "this song is about a Lunatic, not me" then right at the part when he says No L O I T E R I.....BOOOM!!! He jumped back from the mike stand like he got shocked and a bass humm feedback blasted from the speakers. Eddie was shook up for a good 5 minutes and was afraid to touch his mike stand again. He was laughing the whole time and said he never called Mary a lunatic before and he doesn't know if she's still alive but that scared the shit outta him and he never wants to play that song again hahaha. He said lets go to the next song and Stone walked over to him and talked him into starting Crazy mary again. Then he started laughing as they tried to start the song 3 more times. Finally he told the crowd to start singing L O I T E R I N G allowed and he'll jump in from that point. It was a great time seeing him have so much fun at a show.

ok just got back from the show..

can't really explain the feeling i have right, might have to wait til tomorrow when i settle down to post a real fanview. but damn, that was one hell of a show.

highlight for me was the crazy mary solos by boom and mike, it was NASTY

Mike and Boom jammed on the same solos on Friday at the Borgata.......equally as good tonight.

Atomic Punk

Mike threw in a little Van Halen "Ain't Talkin' ' Bout Love" riff during the Crazy Mary timeout....
great time tonight....as per usual.

Who I Am

Just got back from the show....Unreal setlist.
Crowd was crazy but not the craziest. Ed teased leash again...he said now we're gonna drop the evolution...bastard!

2nd best show for me as a touring fan.

1. State College
2. Philly '05
3. MSG I '03

Icing on tonigihts cake would have been Leash in place of little sister. Speaking of which...right before little sister Eddie said we're gonna tell security to let you guys dance wild to this but be careful...(im thinking Leash finally) then he plays little sister...probably the most lazy laid back song on the setlist...funny guy that Eddie...Still Love him though....Great Night more great memories!

PS- this show was a hell of a lot better than I explained, im just tired.

Nice, how was the crowd?

Let me first say that the band was awesome and it was a great set-list. The crowd on the other hand left A LOT to be desired. Many "fans" in my section and in the sections around us were totally dead for most of the night other than for the hits. Most of the fans in our section were more interested in Eagles and Flyers chants than they were in the show. I hate to say it but the lack of energy from the crowd did take something away from this show. I saw the band in Toronto 2 weeks ago and this set list was much better than Toronto but the energy in the crowd made all the difference in the world. Another thing was the sound at the Wachovia Center wasn't too great. This show should have been at MSG.

Lol I don't know what section you were in but no one sat down for 3 + hours as far as I could see.

ohmyFREAKINGgawd.

this was THE concert for me, guys. the 10club totally hooked me up....17th row, stones side. smirks was 17th row in the middle. closest i have ever been at an east coast pj concert. i bow to the 10club. thankyouthankyoutTHANKYOU!!!!

first before anything starts, sleater kinney comes out and then brings up ed and they sing.... promised land. uh huh, by bruce. kick ASS.

then of course the concert starts and wash, yeah, spin the black circle... i think that they play that 4th song like at every philly concert. which is cool by me cause i love the crap out of that song. sad...totally HAPPY to hear that one . ohmyohmyohmyohmy. ALONE. . yeah. alone. and im thinking was i transported back to the 90s???????? this was the pearljam that i missed. the pearljam before i became a fan. holy shit!!!! i knew at this point that this was more then a concert. before faithful ed said something about playing songs that they dont normally play. then faithful. and i had my hub right next to me. what a great song! the man trilogy. that other song, bleed for me? didnt know that one. but it rawked and i rawked and shit, everyone rawked!!!!

around the bend...didnt know that one either, but that was cool too cause its great to hear a new song. harvest moon. i danced with the hubster during that. it was very sweet. followed by hard to imagine......... the one song that i reallyreally wanted to hear. so beautiful. then i totally lost my brain because they started playing the beginning of crown of thorns, which i never ever had the right to even think they would play. crown of thorns. ed says that this next song is about an insane woman....they bring me back down to earth for a bit during crazy mary. and then someones mike went kerfluie and i thought someone got electrocuted.....and everything stops and ed is freaked out and the teches are all over the stage and ed says it must be either mary, who is pissed that he called her insane, or andy from the last song (which got a huge applause). so ed says that hes too freaked to contine the song, but stone and boom are ready to jam. so ed says if he is gonna continue the song, then we have to start singing because he needs to get back in the mood. we started him from *no l o i t e r i n g allowed... and they continued in the awesomeness of that awesome song with stone/boom then mike/boom. alive was next. every single fist was pumped. every single person was singing. we were alive.

last kiss was sung completely to the folks behind the stage before do the evolution, ed says - here is a song called leash . then they played dte. sneaky pearljam!!!!! sonic reducer!!!!! little sister ! wtf!!!! then leaving here. rockin was done with every light on in the venue. and everyone rocked in the free world. it was beautiful. yellow led, same thing with the lights.

the crowd....my hub (his first pj concert - what a first concet!!!) said the band rocked but the crowed rocked every bit as much. we sang every note and cheered as loud as if it was an eagles game.

oh, and ed said repeatedly how much he appreciates PHILLY and how much they love to play here yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!! and of course what a great crowd we were.

thank you pearljam for the concert of my life!!! i totally enjoyed it. it was just what i needed, in so many ways.

huge smile on my face.

More Coffee

Sonic Reducer is worth the ten bucks. This is the first time that I've felt that Philly got its due. The Liberty Bell is jealous of the ringing in the ears. Good night Pearl Jam.

sound not so good at watchovia center. worth paying more for better venue!

The acoustics were much easier to deal with if you were wearing earplugs.
Amazing show, phenomenal crowd. My first true Philly show and hopefully not my last. An unforgettable night!

what section were you at? the fans in my section were going nuts!!! i agree about the sound though, the spectrum and the tweeter center are much better for concerts

Un-fucking-believable is all I can say right now! 7th row Center....snuck my digital camera in...got some great shots I'll post later. Unreal show tonight, I cant even put into words how amazing it was.

Thank you to Eddie, Stone, Mike, Jeff, Matt, Boom and the rest of the PJ Family!

Ipredictariot

I just got back to my hotel. That was freakin awesome! Props to Philly from a California boy, the crowd was outstanding, one of the best I've ever seen, and it definitely brought the band up a notch. Did a nice job singing Betterman too.

The band obviously had a great time. For me, Faithfull and Whipping back to back was fantastic. I don't care that much about the rarities since I only see PJ about once every two years, but Wash, Sonic Reducer and Crown of Thorns were very good. Rockin in the Free World (with Carrie on guitar and Janet taking Matt's place part way through) was a blast, but what do I know, I like Sleater-Kinney!

Most of all, thank you 10 club for the fifth row seats. You are the best.

andyluberto

how bout ed's somersault during rockin in the free world.. hilarious

Great show. A lot of "rarer" songs played. Overall, the vibe w/ the crowd and the band reminded me a lot of the 2 MSG shows in '02 with a lot of 10 Club people there.

Little Sister... Before Bonham's death there was a benefit album called Live for the people of Kampuchea. A collection of rock bands. Was released on Vinyl and CD back in the day. Robert Plant with a band called Rockpile (Dave Edmunds - Guitar, Nick Lowe - Bass, Vocals, Billy Bremner - Guitars, Vocals
Terry Williams - Drums, did Little Sister. Got moderate airplay. Great song. Maybe a HOB preview, who knows.

I'm certainly going to plunk down the $9.99 for the mp3's for this one (and still hope they'll reconsider and release CD-boots). If a CD of this one comes out, I'll pay, again, for it.

C'mon folks... AROUND THE BEND!!!
