I don't understand why, but I'll chalk it up to cultural differences
it would be like a 2-game series in the champions league final, where one of the games is occurring across the street for the home team of that city
only for a sport no one cares about anymore

The Philly '09 #2 performance itself was one long embarrassing train wreck. The setlist had great potential, but many songs were the worst performances of all time.
The score card girls thing was merely the cherry on top of the shit sandwich.
Maybe for folks who attended all four shows and were completely intoxicated, it was fine. But having paid an outlandish sum of money for my ticket and driven for 3 hours to get there, I wasn't particularly thrilled.
Reading endless posts about how the Philly shows were brilliant and taking abuse for voicing my opinion wasn't a good experience either. It definitely changed my view of the PJ fanbase and the band's dedication to putting on a good show.

Thanks for proving my point, dipshit.
i'm just pointing out how out of touch and dumb you sound. 99% of the crowd was into everything you are bitching and moaning about.

Anyways, stay on topic. There’s absolutely no way it was the worst show of all time…sounds like it was just an event that the band made super weird and awkward by talking about somebody else’s event and playing mediocrely.

Noblesville 2010, I was seated next to a group of four. Dude at the far end of the group was drunk and obnoxious, and pissed off the guy on the other side of him...so they switched him to the opposite end of their group to separate them - putting him right next to me. He proceeded to be obnoxious for the remainder of the show. So that made it my worst PJ show of all time. Even worse than the drunk guy behind us at PJ20 night 2, who chose to use the opening as a piss break (appropriately, "Wash"), but didn't leave his seat to do so.

no, all of this is wrong. except playing mediocrely
The 2008-2009 shows weren't anything to write home about either.
Not if you were there. NYC 08 and Chicago 09 are some of my favorite shows.
Definitely the MSG 08 shows were great and get a bad rep from the backup singers…but as an experiment I thought it worked better than people give credit.
They are the worst MSG shows. Yuck. No More > Last Kiss > Why Go > Black Diamond was just a brutal stretch.

Criticizing the scorecard girls is kinda wierd. She was on stage less than 2 minutes total. Got a big cheer each time. Ed's given score updates to fans throughout the band's career so this is not a new concept. I'm not a Phillies fan, but I thought that part was thoughtful and well done. If he had to verbalize the score update, he would have rambled on for a longer amount of time than she was on stage for.
Night 2 was bad. Towards the bottom, if not the very bottom, of shows I've been to. MSG 2 2008 is down there too.
