The Orange County Register reported that "according to Pollstar, the band drew 9,849 concert-goers at the near-12,000-capacity Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia." In '101', Andy Franks can be heard saying a few days before this concert that he and the band think that, although enough tickets have been sold, they are worried that not many people are going to attend it due to Memorial Day, and so he asks the organiser if the stage can be moved forward in order to make the venue look less empty.

Notes

The Orange County Register reported that "according to Pollstar, the band drew 9,849 concert-goers at the near-12,000-capacity Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia." In '101', Andy Franks can be heard saying a few days before this concert that he and the band think that, although enough tickets have been sold, they are worried that not many people are going to attend it due to Memorial Day, and so he asks the organiser if the stage can be moved forward in order to make the venue look less empty. Billboard reports that the concert grossed $157,965.

Chris Hegedus said in 2017:

"We actually shot a safety concert in Philadelphia as well, beforehand, in case it rained [at the Rose Bowl show]. [...] There's probably some shots of Alan playing [at the Spectrum] that sprinkled in [the 101 movie]. And the nice thing about them playing to a tape is that it's exactly the same! Not to, like, unmask any mystery of film-making there..."

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark was the support act.
