    I am always amazed at all the "set was meh" and "the crowd was dead" comments in these threads. Watching from Canada, I am so jealous of the sets you guys are getting on this tour. They sound killer to me. And who gives a fuck about the crowd. Watch the band!
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    I was in Section 103, row 9; a few of us were rocking out, I can't really speak for the rest of the section (only because I wasn't paying attention)

    I got 5 new songs tonight (not bad for my 15th show) including that great version of LBC. I definitely got teary eyed watching Joshua's mother's reaction, that was pretty amazing.

    Other highlights for me included Animal & In My Tree (my all time favorite) which I hadn't heard since Boston '10 and also All Night & In the Moonlight.

    Love the Rocky robe during SOLAT........Also, did anyone pay notice Eddie's screaming at the end of Save You? He sounded amazing.

    All in all, a great show, can't wait to do it all over again tonight.

    103 here as well (row 4)

    no words.

    show #6 for me and #2 for my casual fan boyfriend. (his first was GCF. i enjoy dragging him to shows. :lol:)

    i ended up giving away my lower bowl single seat to a guy for free to go sit with my bf in the uppers, because i really didn't feel like driving to philly alone. we were up in 212 and had a blast! me moreso than him... :lol: my section was good. lots of people rocking out.

    i really thought when we got the intro + once that we were getting ten. wish we did. but when they went into animal shit got fuckin' crazy! place was rocking. i was in awe. philly lived up to the hype!

    loved eddie dedicating love boat captain to joshua! got a huge applause!

    got some nice rarities in in the moonlight and education...loved hearing wishlist.

    i LOST it when i heard the drumbeat for in my tree. still in shock i got one of my favorites. :open_mouth: so so so good live.

    porch to close the first set is always amazing live. one the two drunkish screaming girls behind me who were rocking out to every song grabbed me during "hear my name, take a good look, this could be the day, hold my hand..." it was awesome. i love pearl jam fans.

    first encore...i couldn't imagine having eddie serenade me after getting married. :lol: so cool for that couple.

    i got OCEANS! twice in 6 shows now! :) not to mention CHLOE/CROWN 3 TIMES in 6 shows! incredible!

    why go, got some, into a mindblowing rearview mirror to close it out...got lots of ten!

    second encore was so good as well. SOLAT > alive > fuckin up > indifference... i did not stop rocking out this entire show. fucking amazing. can't WAIT to see what tonight has in store! :smiley:

    4 of the 5 shows i've been to have closed with Indifference.

    No YL! lol

    What is this I hear about Strangest Tribe being scratched? Maybe they are saving it for MSG :)

    This is just my second show but I was blown away by the set and the energy the band played with. They didn't seem to let up from start to finish. Lots of great moments that have already been mentioned above. It was my son's first show and he had a great time. I'd like to second MusicDude415's sentiment, we were in Section 105 Row 6 and everybody around us was great. Thanks to Ten Club for the great seats.

    what is your ten club# first time ten club seats for me tonight I wonder where 449 xxx will get me
    My number is 509xxx and this was my first time with club seats too. We were just off the floor on opposite side of arena from the stage. It was a good view, got to take in the crowd and the band together and everyone in that area was cool and having a great time. Enjoy the show tonight!
    thank you! tonight is gonna be the best show on the tour...I can feel it.

    I was in 101 row 3. The guys next to me were loving it but everyone else was standing like rocks...Maybe they were having fun but I felt a bit weird dancing around like a nut

    Someone actually asked me to move in the pit. They said "it's great you're dancing but can you do,it over there" ("over there" was a small pocket behind 3 6ft4 dudes and I never once touched the people behind me)
    I was in 201 everybody rocked out hard...and smoked mad weed...my fault

    that he did. it was funny because at the end of porch mike had people fans strumming his guitar. well I guess ed got a little impatient because he yelled at mike to end the fucking song lol. mike didn't hear him and they ended it without him.
    and that little kids joshua...god damn I cried like a little baby. I hope you are ok my man.

    some of you have hearing problems and are WAY too picky, that place was on fire last night and easily as loud as any show I've been too... totally blew away 2013, probably because they didn't have to force 5 Lightning Bolt songs in there... amazing set, amazing energy, amazing performance,

    I thought they blew the roof off

    That was right up there with any show I have ever seen

    Instant Classic in my humble, yet somewhat educated, opinion

    I'd have to disagree with you. I was at Philly 1 in 2013 and Hartford 2013. Hartford was the loudest show I've been to, everyone up, dancing, singing so loud you hardly could hear Ed. I think my ears still are ringing from that show.

    I had a great time last night -- LBC was awesome, any show with In My Tree is special for me, I was psyched to hear Education, thought Lightning Bolt is sounding just amazing live, was reminded again last night that despite its overexposure in the early '90s, Jeremy really is a great and enduring song.... I could go on and on. The guys never disappoint.

    I thought the crowd was pretty sedate for the most part. 2013 tells me that a weeknight doesn't put a damper on the Philly crowd's ability to cut loose and go crazy. ;-) In our section, I thought people were enjoying themselves, but there was not much singing, dancing, cheering. This doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the show, but it did leave me feeling as if I should leave the dancing and cheering for MSG; it wasn't the sweaty, cathartic experience that a PJ show usually is for me.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
