Thank you

spectrum was way too uncomfortably crowded, but i was glad to see that old dirty bucket for the first/last time.

i would have liked to have seen corduroy and the real me, but that's just nit pikin.

philly crowd was loud, and up. just like most east coast shows.

1st level off the floor, straight back, dead center, at the back, but i got raped on the way there by ticketmaster's legal scalping agency. wish 10c would have happened for me. ugh, but still grateful for the next night cause, 10c they came through for us. glass always 1/2 full

always some nice rare nuggets tho i really still dig jeremy a lot

and so glad for cropduster and the new songs

nice city. loved being downtown there.

Is it okay that we don't have boots from the greatest show ever yet? yes, because we have some dates in May.

No, no it's not OK. The Philly boots should have been released months ago! What gives? We better get some cool ass packaging, DVD, and the works for these shows. I can't believe it's been 5 months and nothing! Come on Pearl Jam, put the damn things out already. Please.

Just download the audience boot. Nothing wrong with that.

It has been a long time since this show but I figured I would add to this now. My buddy and I won the lottery which was nuts considering we won it the last time Pearl Jam was in the Philly area (Camden night 1 in 08) The setlist just pretty much blew me away. If I could make a Pearl Jam setlist it would be pretty damn close to this one.

We were right in front of Mr. McCready and he was cool. He definitely enjoys his job. At one point, I cannot for the life of me remember the song, it may have been after MFC, he came over and told me he liked my shirt. Which was a Who shirt with Pete smashing his Les Paul on it. I said do you want it and he kind of half shrugged half nodded his head. I took it off and handed it to him and he sort of acted like he would be back after he finished rocking some more. He came back and gave my friend and I some autographed guitar picks and then gave me a shirt. He said it may be a little small. Then as I was looking at it I looked up and he was giving me a signal to cut the sleeves off so it would fit me. It all happened really quickly but it was an awesome experience as was the entire show. The funny thing was I wore the shirt because the last time I wore it to a show we won the lottery. It proved to be lucky once again at the Spectrum, but now it is in Mike's closet.

We saw the next night's show on Halloween which was incredible as well for different reasons. This show will always be a great memory for me and my friend though. Thank you Mike.

These Spectrum Shows were AMAZING!

New favorites from this show, that I never really paid much mind... Hold On, Cropduster, & Tremor Christ was a sweet surprise too!

How could anyone not have paid attention to those two songs? But hey better late than never
And yes, I was there and it fucking rocked! Better than the much talked about Halloween show if you ask me.
