It's official...the Philadelphia Spectrum will be closing up for good.

Many good memories there (including a few great Journey shows).

My friend sent me that ... I saw (guessing) 20 - 30 concerts there over the years (not to mention some Sixers and Flyers games). Definitely the end of an era.

Here's a cool remembrance link, which has all of their previous events posted, along with pictures of various tix stubs and back stage passes.

I practically grew up in that building. I'm not taking this well at all.

I can still remember Steve Perry asking if anyone had a joint during the segway into "Stone in Love"

. Great memories watching Bobby Clarke along with Bernie Parent and the Broad Street Bullies beating their way to a Stanley cup, and Dr. J with Moses Malone sweeping the Lakers.

Just think of all those athletes whom the good people of Philadelphia so graciously welcomed with beer bottles, D batteries, and urine cups. You know their hearts are breaking now.

Your Signature reminds me of the Slogan Frank Rizzo used when running for mayor on a get tough on crime platform.

"Vote for me and I'll make Attila The Hun look like a faggot"
