    CROWD WAS AWESOME...crown of thorns, and wash were rediculous, but to keep the show in perspective....by the end of it, i couldnt even remember what they opened with it was so good...

    the 1st set seemed like they had played 30 songs, they breezed through it with rediculous poise...

    AND I STILL CANT HEAR

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

    It was a thing of beauty............but not a very high score from the Olympic judges. It was truly cool watching Ed and the band enjoying themselves.
    A great night.

    Just came back from the show and all I can say is....that was fucking amazing! The band came on around 8:20 and played until around 11:10. Me and my friends had predicted Wash as the opener and we were right, and it was awesome even though some of the house lights remained on during the first half of the song.

    The energy was really running high throughout the entire show...Mike was jumping on and off of amps and always trying to get the crowd into the songs...Jeff jumped on the drum kit a couple of times and even Eddie got into the act with a couple summmersaults on the stage.

    As somebody previously had written, the band was extremely gracious to the city of Philadelphia...and I don't just mean the obligatory "thanks for showing up" that most bands give on their tours...this was more like "God, we love playing here...we owe you this show." Love the humility, even though it was unneccessary. we love them just the same.

    Blood was a great first set closer without a tag but oh well...The first encore kicked in nicely with around the bend and brought in some not so often heard songs such as Crown of Thorns and Around the Bend. The second encore did just as well with a RITFW/Ledbetter finale with the house lights up and 20,000+ going crazy...

    Great night, great band, great memories, great music..can't wait for the bootleg and maybe a dvd??!!(please)

    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

    I'll say this, I didnt get my tickets thru the ten-club, if I did I'm positive that my experience tonight would have been much more positive. I was in section 109, lower section on the corner of the arena. There were 2 girls in our row who were rocking out and me and my buddy and thats it. The first time I've been in a section like that at PJ concert. At least the band was awesome tonight (like always).

    man, i wish i were there. What a fucking setlist... it's amazing... So many great songs that I would love to hear live. Crazy. I envy you mother fuckers. Lucky bastards.

    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.

    I sadly have to agree with you! I can't even believe I was so honored to get such an AMAZING setlist like this from PJ and everybody in my section were so not into it! They played so many rare/B-sides and as soon as I heard the first notes, I was so beyond freaking out and then I'd look around and no one in my section knew what the songs were! I wanted to enjoy this unbelievable show with other fans who knew how special of a show we were getting! I think the setlist was unfucking believable and I cannot wait to get the boot! PJ were so awesome and I'm so sad that the shows are over for this year! I just really, really wish that I could do it all over again and be in a section with diehard PJ fans like myself! But my god, what a special, special treat of a setlist full of energy we got from PJ!

    WOW, amazing show!
    The 1st part was full of energy, Eddie was sweating like crazy after 5 songs, the kids were having a ball.
    Lots of rarities for a specialized audience, definitely worth a DVD!

    Thanks PJ for a wonderful Tour, now heading to South-America.

    We were holding an Argentinean flag on section 115, which was pretty dead btw :), but the floor was f-ing-rocking.

    Did you see that woman holding a baby next to the stage? Eddie came to her a couple of times, poor baby must be deaf by now...

    just got home, my jaw is still on the floor...not sure what to say...they blew through the first set and i thought it was shorter than usual until i just reviewed it and it was a solid 18 songs WITH the man trilogy! jesus. then the two encores just blew the roof off the dump. Alive was rediculous as always...so happy they made that a staple this tour... rockin in the free world had the whole place in a frenzy, ed doing somersaults and balancing the heineken on his head! i thought it was really sweet how he was dancing with the girl from sleater...was it corin? say what you will about them, they may suck but they seem to have a great time with pearl jam on stage and they definitly added something there at the end, it was like one big party!

    Hahahaha....I totally agree with you that I really loved watching Eddie dance with Corin at the end! It reminded me of some old folk dance or something (okay maybe not folk, but I can't think of what kind...hahaha)! Eddie really did seem like he was having the time of his life!!!! He is awesome!

    7th Row??? What section?? I was Section 2 Row 7, I saw her too, I was thinking that was Ed's significant other with child but wasnt sure. I did notice the lil girl had big old headphones on.

    Did anyone else think McCready took a lot less solos than usual during this show? It seemed like Stone got more than half which is unusual in comparison to the other shows i attended.
