Watch: Pearl Jam closes out the Spectrum in style
Pearl Jam is called (and accused of) many things by many people, but after the band’s Halloween gig at the Spectrum in Philadelphia this past Saturday (Oct. 31), which of course was to be last concert at the 42-year-old arena, no one can accuse them of not knowing how to throw a party.
It’s a well known fact that there’s many members of the Jamily that hang out at CoS, so here’s some news that’ll make you regret whatever you did on Halloween.
During the shindig, the mighty Seattle fivesome busted out such rarities as “Bugs”, “Sweet Lew”, and “Out of My Mind”. And it wouldn’t have been Halloween without some costumes. The band donned Devo outfits and treated the crowd to a racuous “Whip It.” All this was part of the 130 songs they played throughout the four-night stand. (100 different tunes). Yes, they’re that awesome

Best 4 days of concerts I’ve ever been too
Played Deep on friday night… i should have been there
17 years of shows and I’ve never heard it used by the band.
Never seen it on any merch either…
But, there was a recent thread dedicated to how despised the term
is.

I’ll even dedicate a few pictures from the show if you change it
Why does the reference to the Jamily make you “Shudder,” Dan?
I was at the Wednesday and Friday shows, my 10th and 11th PJ shows. The Friday show was the best concert I’ve ever seen in my 15 years seeing live performances. That setlist rivals Saturday night’s, though Saturday had some really rare performances (Bugs?!? Out of My Mind, Sweet Lew, Crown of Thorns, Pilate).
These Philly shows illustrate why Pearl Jam is the greatest band ever and clearly the best to its fans.
I just heard about this on the morning radio. 40 songs, including two encores of 6-7 songs each? Holy hell. Fantastic.
Joshua Kloke …please edit out this ref to Jamily.
it makes us all shudder…
truly awful.
