Speaking of Philly- Spectrum Theatre?

<p>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. :(</p>

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

<p>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. </p>

<p>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!</p>
