    Amen...that show was awesome...Still one of if not my favorite show of all...of course I havent been to 40...only 29....but hey Im gettin there. Would love to see the boys tear up the Spectrum one last time. Heck I'd rather see them tear down the Wach and leave the Spectrum.

    I agree with you. The Spectrum is such a better venue then the FU Center or the Wacky House or whatever they call the Wachovia Center these days. ;)

    I didn't remember this during the show, but I was just listening to the 6/20 (camden 2) boot and at the beginning of Baba Ed said "Say goodbye to the Spectrum for us!"

    Doesn't look like they'll be trying to say goodbye to it themselves. :(

    That's disheartening on two accounts.

    1.) I guess I was so excited during the show that I didn't remember hearing it or my mind's eye blocked it out.

    2.) You have your bootleg from the show and I'm still waiting. ;)

    Here's hoping that they do play the Spectrum one last time. Maybe say 4/28/09. ;)

    Pearl Jam only played the Spectrum once, right? Its sad whenever Pearl Jam tours in the summer they always come to Camden, that 05 show at the Wachovia center was a much better venue.

    Ill remember most the shitty sixers teams i saw play at there in the mid-90's and the rock shows from the late 90s.

    Peter Lukko was on Daily News Live today and they asked him what acts they would like to have in before it closes. Obviously he said Bruce and Billy Joel but he specifically mentioned Pearl Jam likes playing there. I don't think this was based on any discussions, he just mentioned they like playing there and he would like to have them. Don't read into it too much. I'm sure they will try to get them though.

    that would be cool to see them at the spectrum...never having seen the flyers in their heyday play there, I would make the trip to catch PJ there

    I try not to get overly sentimental about buildings like the Spectrum, knowing that they'll ultimately be torn down for the sake of something bigger and more lucrative to somebody ... but the truth is that since I saw my first concert in that building way back when in the '70's, and saw many, many more after that, I do feel a little sad that it's going to be gone. I've seen some really great shows there, including a great PJ show in 2003 and what my daughter and I agree is in our top three shockingly best shows (NIN, QOTSA & DFA in 2005.) I'm glad we got to the Cure show referred to in the article. The Spectrum really has a specific energy as a music venue. The Wachovia Center is just not the same.

    According to Pollstar, the Who is playing the Wachovia on 10/26 and I know tix for the Borgata are 10/31.

    Do you think there is any shot they play the Spectrum in between?

    It would be really cool to see them there and maybe more incentive for PJ to play there one last time.

    Damnit if The Who plays the Spectrum I'll have to catch them there. Saw the 1st show of this tour in Philly and it was amazing.

    Same here. Would love to see The Who rock the Spectrum. I might try for cheap (relatively speaking) Borgata tix tomorrow just to see them in such a tiny space.

    I figure they are playing the Event Center which isn't that small but a hell of a lot smaller than an arena but I figure prices are at least $125.

    I'm still debating whether or not to get Black Crowes tickets at the Event Center since I missed their 3 shows at the TLA earlier.

    The price breakdown is 325, 275 and 97.

    I'll be trying for the 97. ;)

    cheaper than I expected... I believe tickets for The Eagles at the Borgata started at $125 and topped out around $500.
