    Got lost in Camden once. First time I ever saw a 'working' prostitute. Wasn't at the show, but do like the bootleg!
    Did you miss the show because of the 'working' prostitute?

    Love this show - as being from Philly, and having the hate for the E-Center (or whatever we want to call it now), the best part about the venue was a good ol' solid PJ tailgate in their parking lot on the weekend of the 4th of Joooo-lie.

    This show was right in the middle of Part Two of our two mini-tours in 2003 for myself and some buddies - we went to DC,  down the shore for the 4th, then home to Philly for the Camden shows; I slept in my car, then up to MSG, then back down the shore, and then up to Holmdel for Hunger Strike and some Jersey neanderthal tha was so drunk during Corduroy that he was pissing on the lawn which was inevitably ricocheting off my leg. 

    This was my favorite show of that stretch due to its hometown ties, 4th of July weekend. It was fucking HOT out, drank in the sun far too much, and made a connection for the day with a Pearl Jam Girl from Trenton who ended up having 10C seats right behind me. The humidity led to a late afternoon shower that was perfectly timed to drench us all. The sun going down behind the Philly skyline was perfect. Then the show started and it was non-stop energy, though you can tell they were taking a hit from the heat (pretty sure Eddie talks about how hot it was?).

    Being 20 in the summer of '03 was fun.

    I get the Camden shows mixed up, but I think there was a massive rain storm before the show and my buddies and I sat in the car trying to tailgate.
    Really good opening five songs and the RITFW in the middle of the set with fireworks going off in downtown Philly.  I think that was one of the first performances of Down. Lots of Riot Act. I remember Blood being very good, but an odd choice after Black.
    All of this is correct.

    And Philly 03 was memorable for the energy and the crowd, but definitely not for the set list IMHO.

    Night 3 in 2009 was the ultimate Philly show IMHO


    Formatting is off so im replying inside the quote.....Spectrum 03 had a lot of hits but when those songs are performed excellently and the crowd is nuts what more would you want?  They were hits for a reason.  Ive never experienced an American PJ crowd louder than that.  

    Night 3 in 2009 had a way better fan setlist and it was a fun show but the performance cant touch Spectrum 2003.

    All good.  The crowd was crazy.  I just remember that I was not excited about the songs until they busted out Glorified G.  Still a great show.
    I walked out of 10/30/2009 blown away. Different strokes.

    This is actually the least favorite PJ show I've attended...through no fault of the band or the crowd. I was sick but dragged myself to the show anyway...and had a miserable time.

    I remember the opener from Camden, still love cant keep as an opener.  I remember losing my shit during blood. The whole fireworks thing was really memorable.  Good show. Crappy poster LOL. I think I pre-ordered a bunch of posters from Ames sight unseen on this tour.  I cant recall.

    Being sick in the middle of a super hot summer is the absolute worst. Yeah, that sounds like a terrible decision, though I understand the need to get there.

    I once went to an Ed solo show with a 101 fever.  I am sorry for everyone I infected.  But what is done is done.

    That was a pretty shitty show from what I remember.  no wait, I mean the hartford '06 show was pretty shitty.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I’ve luckily never been sick for Pearl Jam, but I was so sick when I saw Rush that I fell asleep during 2112. I don’t remember anything about that show.
    Hi, I host a Pearl Jam Podcast. We go back to some of the classic shows in their history and break down the entire setlist front to back. From historic perspective, to performances, to setlist construction, to fan stories. We do our best to capture the magic that is their live act and help you relive those memories, or if you weren't there, maybe turn you on to a show you've never heard before.

    Live On 4 Legs can be found on Apple Podcast, Spotify and any other major podcast platform. But please support our website and check out the episodes archived there. Oh, and the Concertpedia as well (for you Five Horizons and Two Feet Thick fans, we've picked up where they've left off)

    The tailgating for these shows was fantastic. I remember playing beer pong out in the parking lot and drinking for hours before the doors opened. I was drunk but maintained the entire night. Great shows too. The fireworks over the bridge in the background during the encore was the perfect way to end it.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Good discussion here, lots of it used for the episode including the part about prostitution. It’s up and running now -
