Whenever the band has done multiple nights, there was always a few extras blocked off so they could work out logistics of touring. There's no chance in hell they're playing all 5 nights, but I feel pretty confident that it would be 2, and possibly 3.
5 shows would be SICK!!! I do agree that the dates have been blocked out for 2 or 3 shows. But if it is 5 shows, I could do them ALL.
5 show's, back to back? I could do them all too!
Hell, I don't need a place to stay. Just let me sleep in the forum!
Id do that too D!

Oct of 2005 was at the Wachovia Center, not the Spectrum. I was there. Great show.
10/03/05 - Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA
support act: Sleater-Kinney
Sleater-Kinney set: Promised Land (with Ed), One Beat (with Matt), Mother (with all of PJ)
set: Wash, Hail Hail, Brain Of J, Spin The Black Circle, Given To Fly, Sad, Alone, Even Flow, Green Disease, Faithfull, Whipping, Not For You/(Modern Girl), Leatherman, Better Man/(?)/(Save It For Later), Nothingman, Once, Bleed For Me, Blood
first encore: Around The Bend, Harvest Moon (w/Sleater-Kinney), Hard To Imagine, Crown of Thorns, Crazy Mary, Alive
second encore: Last Kiss, In My Tree, Do The Evolution, Sonic Reducer, Little Sister, Leaving Here (w/Sleater-Kinney), Rockin In The Free World (w/Sleater-Kinney), Yellow Ledbetter.
TFT Notes: Starting Sleater-Kinney’s set, signer/guitarist Corin Tucker immediately thanked Pearl Jam for inviting them out on tour again, and “especially wanted to thank one person” as Ed came out and kicked off the show with Bruce Springsteen’s “Promised Land”. Matt was introduced and played “lead tambourine” on Sleater-Kinney’s “One Beat”. For Sleater-Kinney’s finale, Corin called out all the members of Pearl Jam and the ensemble played Danzig’s “Mother”. Mike was on guitar stage-left, Stone was on tambourine in front of the drum kit and Matt stood alongside Janet Weiss and added percussion. Jeff came out in a black, long-sleeve, Samhain (Glenn Danzig’s old band) t-shirt, white face paint with eyes blackened and a wig with strands of hair over his face in the Misfits/Samhain style. Ed discretely perched himself behind’s Matt kit and filmed the event with a small video camera, before grabbing Matt’s sticks and contributing on drums. Pearl Jam opens as they did their first Philly show in 1991 with “Wash”. Ed first addresses the crowd before “Given to Fly” with “well, we heard that you were uh … if you were waiting for us, know that we were waiting for you too … nice seeing you!”. The “man trilogy” of “Leatherman”, “Better Man” and “Nothingman” makes its 2005 debut. Remarking that it “feels like the end of the tour” Ed hints that the night will be filled with songs that they don’t play that often. Prior to the first encore, Ed’s roadie brings out a short music stand complete with numerous lyric sheets, leading to “Around the Bend” (first time in 2005, first since Benaroya ‘03). Sleater-Kinney provide backup on “Harvest Moon”, swaying to the “oooohs” in unison on Stone’s mic. Ed mentions “Crown of Thorns” is “for special occasions, of which we consider this”. “Crazy Mary” is started and immediately following the “L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G” line, the stage-left monitors start blasting this hideous screeching feedback, with all band members slowly backing away and the crew scrambling to isolate the problem. It lasts about 10-15 seconds and when it stops, the crowd erupts and all the band has that “what the fuck was that” look on their faces. A spooked Ed says that he never called “Mary” crazy in person, and he doesn’t want to continue the song, laughing. Stone starts up the chords, Ed approaches the mic, then backs off shaking his head “I can’t do it!”. He mentions that Boom had told him during the encore break that he was going to take it “Crazy Mary” to the next level, so the band resumes the song with the second chorus and Mike and Boom do their solo trade-offs. For the second encore, Ed comes on and references their history with Philadelphia, the band’s first Philly show at the club J.C. Dobbs July 1991 (commenting on the size of the J.C. Dobbs club by forming the small width of the room to the crowd in front of him with his outstretched hands in a “this small” manner) and as the band walks backstage to play “Last Kiss” to the crowd behind the stage, Ed turns to the crowd in front and says “we’re gonna go do a club show.” Ed repeatedly nodded sidestage during “Last Kiss” to his wife and daughter during the chorus’ line “oh where oh where can my baby be”. “Little Sister”, an Elvis original, premieres. Eddie references his lyric sheet and the band members are all turned towards Matt, carefully working the new arrangement. Ed brings out Sleater-Kinney for “one more” then realizes they commonly sing encore backups on more than one song, so he asks the crowd “do you want one more or two more?” (to which most of the crowd started chanting “three!”), so they join in for “Leaving Here” and “Rockin in the Free World”. On “Rockin’…”, Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein played Ed’s blue Gibson SG, Janet Weiss played Matt’s kit as Matt accented on cymbals and Corin Tucker sang and played tambourine, rockin’ with Ed as they slapped their tambourine’s together in unison. “Rockin’…” and “Yellow Ledbetter” are played with the house lights on. On the setlist but not played: Footsteps, Don’t Gimme No Lip.

You're right, it was Wachovia, sorry, my bad! Maybe the hit and run messed my memory up ! What was the song they sang with (at the end of) Betterman? I haven't heard it since, I thought it was perfect and should always be part of Betterman.

Sorry, but if Chicago gets 2, no way in hell does Philly get 5... not trying to burst anyones bubble, but lets be serious here
the reason they would play so many in philly is because they are tearing down the spectrum. i think 5 is a stretch but if they do 5 shows my fat ass will be at every one of them. all are welcome provided there is no playing of any oasis...lo.
I thought I'd said my good-byes to the Spectrum when The Cure was here, then I bought tickets to Green Day to take my daughter and her boyfriend in July (one of her first favorite bands ... I thought it would be fun,) but if PJ ended up being the last band I saw there, that would be more than perfect.

I'd say that you're the coolest parent for taking your kid and her boyfriend to such a great show, but we both know you went to spy on them. This was actually a triple win. You saw a good show, you earned points with your kid, and you made sure she was safe. Good work!

Springsteen sold out 8 shows at the Spectrum in 1981.... 5 PJ shows would Kick ASS!
got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
I want to go but I want to go with you.

I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.
I got a text from a friend who lives in Philly that said he heard tonight on the radio pj is confirmed to play the Spectrum. No other details at this time. Hopefully the people with contacts on the inside can get more info soon or maybe we will get a tweet soon...

No, Pearl Jam has not been confirmed for the Spectrum...yet. I think your friend got confused.
Today on Preston & Steve ,on WMMR in Philly, they had a dude from Live Nation talking about upcoming Philly shows. He said that there was a lot being planned for the Spectrum this fall. This lead Nick from the show, who is a HUGE fan, to ask if there was any truth to the guys playing the Spectrum, because he's read a lot of rumors from this very message pit about PJ doing some shows at the Spectrum. The guy from Live Nation replied by saying something on the lines of "we have a lot of exciting shows planned for the Spectrum this fall".
Take it for what it's worth, but it sounded very promising to me.

Philly is not too far from where I live...I'd LOVE to see a show or two at the Spectrum. Now if only the bird would give us a tweet...

He probably answered with that because it's still in negotiations. If the answer was no, he's say no. But the answer still isn't yes, unfortunately. Not yet, anyhow.
I'm still keeping my hopes up, but everyone's gotta be realistic about this. Nothing is done yet, or we'd definitely know something considering how many of us have connections directly to the venue/promoters.

Today on Preston & Steve ,on WMMR in Philly, they had a dude from Live Nation talking about upcoming Philly shows. He said that there was a lot being planned for the Spectrum this fall. This lead Nick from the show, who is a HUGE fan, to ask if there was any truth to the guys playing the Spectrum, because he's read a lot of rumors from this very message pit about PJ doing some shows at the Spectrum. The guy from Live Nation replied by saying something on the lines of "we have a lot of exciting shows planned for the Spectrum this fall".
Take it for what it's worth, but it sounded very promising to me.
"They said ... timing was everything
made him ... want to be everywhere
there's a ... lot to be said for nowhere."
Just want to put this out there for those who have been following along. I received word today that it's not looking so hot for September. This is from a good friend who has known a local promoter for years and has always gotten news from him before it breaks.
So, he didn't say it's over, just that it's not looking good. Sorry kids!!

Had a conversation via text with my sister at Comcast-Spectacor this afternoon...went a little something like this:
Her: Hey I heard PJ is going for 3 shows
Me: Holy shit, is this confirmed?
Her: It's almost but I'm 99% sure it's happening, I've heard it from a few people
Me: Did they say when? I keep hearing September
Her: I'm not sure, I'll ask and let you know.
So, no real new information here but for me, this pretty much puts it to rest. I'm readying my credit card now, haha.
it's strange how people's sources here just in the past 24 hours are completely different

10/03/05 - Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA
support act: Sleater-Kinney
Sleater-Kinney set: Promised Land (with Ed), One Beat (with Matt), Mother (with all of PJ)
set: Wash, Hail Hail, Brain Of J, Spin The Black Circle, Given To Fly, Sad, Alone, Even Flow, Green Disease, Faithfull, Whipping, Not For You/(Modern Girl), Leatherman, Better Man/(?)/(Save It For Later), Nothingman, Once, Bleed For Me, Blood
first encore: Around The Bend, Harvest Moon (w/Sleater-Kinney), Hard To Imagine, Crown of Thorns, Crazy Mary, Alive
second encore: Last Kiss, In My Tree, Do The Evolution, Sonic Reducer, Little Sister, Leaving Here (w/Sleater-Kinney), Rockin In The Free World (w/Sleater-Kinney), Yellow Ledbetter.
TFT Notes: Starting Sleater-Kinney’s set, signer/guitarist Corin Tucker immediately thanked Pearl Jam for inviting them out on tour again, and “especially wanted to thank one person” as Ed came out and kicked off the show with Bruce Springsteen’s “Promised Land”. Matt was introduced and played “lead tambourine” on Sleater-Kinney’s “One Beat”. For Sleater-Kinney’s finale, Corin called out all the members of Pearl Jam and the ensemble played Danzig’s “Mother”. Mike was on guitar stage-left, Stone was on tambourine in front of the drum kit and Matt stood alongside Janet Weiss and added percussion. Jeff came out in a black, long-sleeve, Samhain (Glenn Danzig’s old band) t-shirt, white face paint with eyes blackened and a wig with strands of hair over his face in the Misfits/Samhain style. Ed discretely perched himself behind’s Matt kit and filmed the event with a small video camera, before grabbing Matt’s sticks and contributing on drums. Pearl Jam opens as they did their first Philly show in 1991 with “Wash”. Ed first addresses the crowd before “Given to Fly” with “well, we heard that you were uh … if you were waiting for us, know that we were waiting for you too … nice seeing you!”. The “man trilogy” of “Leatherman”, “Better Man” and “Nothingman” makes its 2005 debut. Remarking that it “feels like the end of the tour” Ed hints that the night will be filled with songs that they don’t play that often. Prior to the first encore, Ed’s roadie brings out a short music stand complete with numerous lyric sheets, leading to “Around the Bend” (first time in 2005, first since Benaroya ‘03). Sleater-Kinney provide backup on “Harvest Moon”, swaying to the “oooohs” in unison on Stone’s mic. Ed mentions “Crown of Thorns” is “for special occasions, of which we consider this”. “Crazy Mary” is started and immediately following the “L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G” line, the stage-left monitors start blasting this hideous screeching feedback, with all band members slowly backing away and the crew scrambling to isolate the problem. It lasts about 10-15 seconds and when it stops, the crowd erupts and all the band has that “what the fuck was that” look on their faces. A spooked Ed says that he never called “Mary” crazy in person, and he doesn’t want to continue the song, laughing. Stone starts up the chords, Ed approaches the mic, then backs off shaking his head “I can’t do it!”. He mentions that Boom had told him during the encore break that he was going to take it “Crazy Mary” to the next level, so the band resumes the song with the second chorus and Mike and Boom do their solo trade-offs. For the second encore, Ed comes on and references their history with Philadelphia, the band’s first Philly show at the club J.C. Dobbs July 1991 (commenting on the size of the J.C. Dobbs club by forming the small width of the room to the crowd in front of him with his outstretched hands in a “this small” manner) and as the band walks backstage to play “Last Kiss” to the crowd behind the stage, Ed turns to the crowd in front and says “we’re gonna go do a club show.” Ed repeatedly nodded sidestage during “Last Kiss” to his wife and daughter during the chorus’ line “oh where oh where can my baby be”. “Little Sister”, an Elvis original, premieres. Eddie references his lyric sheet and the band members are all turned towards Matt, carefully working the new arrangement. Ed brings out Sleater-Kinney for “one more” then realizes they commonly sing encore backups on more than one song, so he asks the crowd “do you want one more or two more?” (to which most of the crowd started chanting “three!”), so they join in for “Leaving Here” and “Rockin in the Free World”. On “Rockin’…”, Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein played Ed’s blue Gibson SG, Janet Weiss played Matt’s kit as Matt accented on cymbals and Corin Tucker sang and played tambourine, rockin’ with Ed as they slapped their tambourine’s together in unison. “Rockin’…” and “Yellow Ledbetter” are played with the house lights on. On the setlist but not played: Footsteps, Don’t Gimme No Lip.

the reason they would play so many in philly is because they are tearing down the spectrum. i think 5 is a stretch but if they do 5 shows my fat ass will be at every one of them. all are welcome provided there is no playing of any oasis...lo.

I want to go but I want to go with you.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. -MT
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

Sammi: Wanna just break up?
I'm still keeping my hopes up, but everyone's gotta be realistic about this. Nothing is done yet, or we'd definitely know something considering how many of us have connections directly to the venue/promoters.
