I went there both nights, living about a 15 minute drive away at the time. Maybe 20-30 people sitting outside our cars, many with folding lawn chairs. We had to stay behind the stage in the adjacent parking lot so we could not see the stage or the band. I remember being a bit concerned that I was ruining the surprise for opening night with some of the unusual tunes being rehearsed like 2000LR, PIB, RT, PWF, etc.
I had recently attended the Toad's Place gig in New Haven. So it was all a bit surreal and exciting after no US shows since December 1981.
JFK had been condemned as unsafe and the Wells Fargo Center now sits on that site. The concerts were held at Veteran's Stadium which has also been turned into a parking lot for Citizen's Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field (Go EAGLES!)
There's probably another thread about this somewhere on IORR.
