PHILADELPHIA...HOME OF PEARL JAM.

As someone who traveled from the Pittsburgh area (Johnstown to be specific), I have to agree with this post.
One thing that stuck out to me last night was that Ed didn't really spend a whole lot of time kissing the audience's ass like I'm used to seeing. I thought that was weird at first but then I realized that he doesn't have to, he expects that type of crowd in Philly and doesn't need to constantly re-assure them that they are awesome. It really feels like they are playing to their home town.
Philly was so much fun, what an awesome city. This was my 5th time in the city but the first that I've ever really got to explore. We did a mini cheesesteak tour, Pat's Thursday, Geno's Friday and Jim's today, easily the best 3 cheesesteaks I've ever had. Gun to my head I'd probably choose Pat's as my favorite, but I want to try more in the future. People were all really awesome, not sure why Philly gets such a bad rap.
Also I love that even in a city as huge as Philly, no matter where you go you see tons of PJ fans. We really know how to overtake a city.Post edited by RiotZact on0 -

MMR put PJ on the map in the tri-state area anyone who says different either doesn't know the history or may be a tad bit jealous they have never been to a show in Philly. Guaranteed they would all agree that in the States, Philly and MSG are their top places to play.The Juggler said:DR J PLAYED HERE, LET'S SING IN THE CHOIR!!!

From someone who has sold posters since the beginning of time, I have learned a lot about the fan base. What you are all saying is a fact. I was in Seattle, and the Fans on the East coast - US and Canada - Are 100 times more passionate about this band.
God bless Philly, NJ, NY, Ontario, Toronto, Chicago, Boston, etc. That is who has the passion for this band. It is 100% legit. I respect and love the east coast folks.Post edited by densan onBe different & make a difference. Decency & kindness @ a grassroots level works.0 -
