For the Monday show, Pierre Robert and Nick McIlwain were on hand to help Brent Porche anchor the pre-show festivities from the MMR Booth. After a few breaks talking with fans and recapping the energy of Night #1, the two were invited backstage to meet with Pearl Jam’s manager. After a few minutes of waiting by the stage, Stone Goassard appeared to say hello the the MMR DJs.
After a great chat with Stone in which he did confirm that Philly really was the loudest crowd of the tour so far, it was time for Pierre and Nick to return to their seats and for Stone to finish warming up.
