The crowd zoned out halfway thru because all of the lame Phillies fans were bummed about the score of the baseball game instead of concentrating on the concert.

Philly dropped the ball on this one... never would have happened in NY or Boston.

THEN DO US A FAVOR...GO SEE THE BOYS IN BOSTON & NY.... PHILLY ROCKED THE SPECTRUM... Phillies or no Phillies, what show were you listening to???

I am all about various opinions but the people complaining about the fucking crowds this week are just delusional elitists who just need to get there heads checked or just stop going to every single freaking show since they will never live up there unrealistic expectations.

I respectfully disagree. I drove from NY to Philly 3 times this week (missed Friday night) and was blown away each time by Pearl Jam's performance. The crowd, however, left much to be desired. I thought the vibe from the audience on Wed. night was considerably better than Tues. night, and I saw a good number of people tonight rocking out (mostly in the hardcore 10C areas ... front of floor and low 200s close to the stage), but if they were tearing down a historic arena in my hometown and Pearl Jam flew in for the last homestand, I would be going nuts with all my friends and neighbors the entire time. That just wasn't the case here.

But way more importantly, tonight was a fantastic show. I thought the band made the right call dusting off some more rarities but also playing some of the crowd-pleasers they'd gone through over the last 3 nights. I thought "Insignificance" and "Lowlight" were real standouts, and seeing "Jeremy" with the string section was pretty sweet. "Speed of Sound" sounded much better/tighter tonight than it did on Wed. And they thankfully saved "Amongst the Waves" for tonight ... what a fantastic song! I feel like that and "Unthought, Unknown" are going to stand the test of time and end up in the regular live rotation, even though they didn't pop off the album as immediate singles.

Thank you Spectrum for hosting this memorable week. Thank you 10C fans for riding high amongst the waves. Thank you Pearl Jam for a fantastic set of shows. See you in the Spring ... (?)

Another epic show. I must admit I was bummed about no guests showing up after all the rumers but the band played an amazing set. I've been to some of the best pj shows ever like Seattle 2000 and manfield 03 and MSG 03 plus many more and this run of shows beats them all. I'm all about the odd balls and this week was full of them. Can't wait till next tour!!!!!!!!
