Speaking of Philly- Spectrum Theatre?

Anyone attending the final set of shows at the legendary Spectrum Theatre?
I am quite envious after reading reviews of the sound quality, I just saw Bob Dylan at the vintage Moore theatre in Seattle, and while the theatre is revered and others thought the sound was good, from our seats, it was terrible.

Outside of Benaroya Hall, Seattle has very few theatres with good sound, and it is sad that after tonight, Philadelphia will have one less.

Saw Flyers and Sixers games there in the 1975-77 time frame.
My first concert there was in 1978, Billy Joel The Stranger Tour
My last shows there were in May of this year, The Dead.

Compared to the new stadium (right next door, been there for a while now) this place is a DUMP, cramped, hot. Oh but did I see some AWESOME shows there over a 30+ year period!
