    that show exceeded expectations.  Just fucking great night.  Too many highlights to list here.  Like this band. As good as ever.

    I just don't know who else goes on stage and talks about how "we paid the fine for breaking the curfew so we're gonna be here a while."

    Philadelphia, still the capital of Pearl Jam.

    That was a good time.
    Retrograde was the only stinker.  At this point I could probably not have written a setlist which they had any chance of playing, any better.  
    Not sure it is a top 10 show for me but it certainly was an amazing way to spend an evening.

    Great show. Great setlist. And it was nice to be back at Camden, which I prefer over the 76ers arena.

    Yeah cannot complain at all, great show; two songs I was hoping for were Breath and Not For You. And it would've been cool to get Wash or Hard to Imagine. And by God we got all of them. Great night.

    awesome show as usual. Solid setlist, surprised not too many Gigaton songs though, only three although two of them are my favs, Quick Escape and Whoever Said,.

    I got there around 1:30 and parked by the ferry and was going to take it over. Slight problem the ferry wasn't operating until 4:00, D'oh! Met another PJ fan there and he decided to just drive to the venue and asked if i wanted to join. SO that went ok, I paid for his PJ wishlist ticket. I thought I could sneak onto the ferry after the show but didn't want to risk it and so i texted a friend and asked if she could drive me back to the lot, she said yes. By the time I met with her and got to her car it was like 12:30 and with traffic and all getting ut was kinda a pain, but not too bad. my GPS was acting wonky on how to get back to penn's landing though (plus she drives really cautiously/slow). Eventually got to my car at about 1. I got home around 2am and woke up at 3:30 to get ready for work. Just got done and now i'm gonna take a nap.

    My buddy really came through - he made room for me to park in his city row house garage and his brother-in-law was working the merch stand so we were able to skip the line and get the cool Camden t-shirts. We used PATCO and it was very efficient.

    I really lost my mind when Inside Job started. As JP said, Wash + H2I is just more than you have any right to ask for. I was hoping for the traditional It's Okay tag on Daughter - well that's a real first world problem kids. 2 new Gigaton songs plus hadn't seen Inside Job = 3 new tracks for my stats. Nice. Nobody here could've come up with a better setlist. That's why those guys get paid the big bucks.

    I brought an espresso machine into the office and that has helped for a bit.

    I kept it to beer so recall 100%, although many beers were consumed.  Thankfully, a friend pointed out the Porta potty additional restroom area so that waiting in line to piss was pretty much not a thing.  There were massive lines for the wasted people who didn't see that.

    So much less parking there now. Guess I didn't realize the Sixers facilities were built right on the old lot. That used to be prime tailgate area with the skyline view.

    Yup, that's exactly where they're at. We ended up having to park near the junkyards.

    That Retrograde -> Even Flow portion was great timing for a bathroom break. Back just in time for Untitled/MFC.

    Still pretty tired after getting an hour and a half of sleep last night and a few hours of napping today, but totally worth it!

    Josh as an opener was fine I thought. Pretty solid cover of Nutshell I thought.

    He was playing Nutshell as we were walking in. I thought it sounded good too. 

    I won a “guess the opener” pool with my friends. None of us got it, but I was closest with my pick Oceans being played second. My friends’ picks were Small Town, Long Road, Sometimes, and Of The Girl.

    Josh has been meh to me as an addition, but Nutshell was good. AND he was wearing one of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping shirts I have, so bonus points.

    I didn't watch, just listened....but I would give a poor review to his songs.  That's about as nice as I can make it.  :lol:  

    Big thumbs up to venue, overall, though.  Lots of options for drinks and sufficient places to sit and hang out with friends before hand.  Not sure i love $15 tall boys but kept drinking them.
    Also....liquid death water was the only water I saw being sold.  That was kind of annoying.
