    Awesome concert! Two highlights were the woman near me knew every word and sang her lungs out. I sang all the songs I knew. Release was. . . It was like we all wanted it to be good, and it was.

    what section were you in? That could have been me :)
    Section 216A row 8, she would have been seat 5.

    Going to leave my review next, but a quick question: How does Pearl Jam only have 10 Philly sell-outs? It seems like the have played there many, many more times than that (I mean I've even driven down there 5x for shows from up in North Jersey)

    The banner specifically said "South Philly" sellouts to only really encompass Spectrum ('03, '09 x 4) and Wells Fargo ('05, '13 x 2, '16 x 2). Leaves out Dobbs and Camden ('98 x 2, '00 x 2, '03 x 2, '08 x 2).
    Thats interesting, I would have sworn there were more. And how is they got a banner? No other artists have sold out Philly more then 10x? It feels like Pearl Jam is worthy of a Philly banner of course, but because it feels like they played down there 20-25x at least, not just 10.

    The show that crowd that band! The only way I could end that night was waking up on the floor in the 15th precinct!
    All will be forgiven eventually.
    It's a "you had to be there" show to understand.
    Much thanks!

    I have woken up in the 15th before hahaha...I live like 6 blocks from there lol

    Does anyone have a picture of the new banner they hung up?

    I thought they were just celebrating the album, but it has many meanings. Philly loves music! I love Philly! I love Philly! For me the three Philly shows (2005 and 2 x 2016) are PJ stellar concerts. Those are my favorite concerts.

    There are banners for Springsteen 56 shows and Billy Joel for 48 shows. There was a banner for The Dead but it's been removed. They've played 10 sold out shows between The Spectrum and the WFC.

    We sure were. We were a little concerned about our energy level heading in because we both were there night 1, then had work so we were tired. But once they hit the stage, there's no better source of energy than PJ! What a night.

    Wow, those guys don't mess. My phone died so I couldn't call anyone, not that anyone would answer at 4am anyway. They pointed me to the pay phone, I thought pay phones went extinct in 2004.

    Thank you, Pearl Jam, Ten Club and the magnificent crowd that made last night's show my best PJ experience to date. Release ... was. We came away feeling compassionate good will, love without cynicism, and rocked to the bone in the very best way.
