    yea the dead have played there like 55 times or so. sure theres a deadhead on here that can confirm the exact amount.
    Yeah the dead hold the record for sold out shows at the spectrum... With billy joel as a second I believe. But that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that The Dead were the last to play JFK before they tore it down... And they are not considered 'philly' as say Bruce or dare I say it, bon jovi, so it's not unheard of for a non 'Philly' band to close the place down. So I think there's a strong chance PJ will be the last to play the spectrum.

    Has he had an Michael Jackson, Elvis or Jim Morrison sightings either? As a matter of fact, I just thought I saw E.T phoning home on his cell from my backyard...
    Wow, this is going to be one hell of a show on Halloween!!!

    Hey is that Michael Jackson moonwalking on the moon or is this 1969 and Buzz is back????

    I love all of these rumors..
    Did you hear the one that Jimmy Hoffa is buried under the spectrum...or even funnier.. Miss Cleo is predicting that Donovan McNabb is going to lead the Eagles to a win in the Superbowl this year!!!


    I heard Kelly Kapowski confirmed the Saved By The Bell Reunion and Jimmy Fallon is gonna host it at The Spectrum to close it out on the 31st....I just sayin', thats what I heard.

    My sister works at Bayside high school and she is confirming this too. I also called Bayside High School and the guy who answered the phone told me he wasn't allowed to say, but I should keep my fingers crossed. He also told me they would be selling VIP tickets for the event for $225. It includes a buffet and a special gift from the SBTB cast!

    Pearl Jam is a done deal for the 31st. It will be announced next week. :geek:

    of course this would be a fanstastic bill,

    but , who would open for who?

    Bruce doesnt " open up " for anyone,

    and its been a long time since he has had an opener, besides the festivals of late ,

    or a multi- band Bonaroo type of thing,

    Bruce gets very pissed at the crowds " Bruuuuuceing " the opening act(s)- so he eliminates that anymore

    and finally the E Street Band is slated to say farewell to Spectrum 2 weeks prior to PJ appearing-

    so logistically that presents a problem .

    Anyone from Philly honestly knows that Bon Jovi and Bruce have a much deeper history with Philly than Pearl Jam and it probably makes more sense for one of them to close it out than Pearl Jam, who have only played the Spectrum once 9 years ago..Hell, i even think Billy Joel is a more appropriate act to close out the spectrum...

    That's only "about" 6 years and 2 months and 21 days ago.

    By your thinking, a proper way to close the Spectrum would be Balboa/Creed III.

    with all due respect for paul ,( bruce would no doubt do the honors if asked, for paul or possibly for bob dylan , bruces # 1 living idol - see shea stadium tour of 2003 )
    ---its hard to have any opening act when your headliner plays near 3 / and half hours every night

    I def could see a triple bill of bon jovi, pearl jam and bruce springsteen.
    Bruce does the preset, accoustic.(Chimes of Freedom) PJ plays 3+ hour show then Bon Jovi cleans off the stage with the roadies.

    PJ would open for Bruce , just as they did for the Rolling Stones on 9/28/05. As Ed said, " he's the boss, I'm just an employee".

    Well, that seems very unlikely now ever since he was busted with HGH at an Australian airport a couple of years back that forced the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Screen Actors Guild to overturned the uplifting, feel-good endings of Rocky II, III, and IV.

    I got my tickets at the Spectrum Friday, the dude that gave us our wrist bands said PEARL JAM..not Bruce will be playing the 31st, nothing about the 28th though. 4 nights of Pearl Jam would be fantastic!
