Philly 4 - 10/31/09 - Wachovia Spectrum
I forgot to post this setlist from last month, but better late than never.
See nights 1, 2, and 3.
While Night 3 was the best Pearl Jam show I’d ever seen, Night 4 was the most memorable. It was the final night ever in the Wachovia Spectrum before it will be torn down, and it was the longest show in the band’s history (4 hours of Pearl Jam on stage). It contained some of the strangest PJ moments for sure, including Bugs and Sweet Lew (both never played before, and for good reason), a cover of Devo’s ‘Whip It,’ and a rehash of an improv from the early 90s called ‘Out Of My Mind,’ played because some rich fan offered to donate a ton of cash to some charity if they did it.
There were also plenty of truly awesome moments. Pilate hadn’t been played in years. Crown of Thorns is always a treat. And they made a mess at the end. All told it was an amazing 4 shows that ended up being the kick-off to a very interesting month.
This morning I read that NYC shows will happen next May. The never ending Pearl Jam season continues!
