Pearl Jam :: 10.31.09 :: Wachovia Spectrum :: Philadelphia, PA
Pearl Jam celebrated Halloween by performing the final show ever at the legendary Philadelphia Spectrum. Completed in 1967, the Spectrum was home to both the 76ers and Flyers and also housed a plethora of rock concerts. The Grateful Dead played 53 shows there (the most of any band), The Doors, The Who, Pink Floyd, Genesis, KISS, Aerosmith, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix and scores of others all played the hallowed venue.
On the final show of a four-night run, Pearl Jam, with the help of opening act Bad Religion, closed the doors on the Spectrum with a massive three-and-a-half hour Halloween show featuring several never before played songs, the Philadelphia String Quartet, and they even donned Devo costumes. It was a historic night by a legendary band.
