I made the trek home from the Virgin Festival in Baltimore MD the day of this show and was worried that I would not make it to the Pier on time.
Compared to the Virgin Festival, this concert was much better. The set list was incredible and the heat wasn't too bad, at least there was a breeze that night. The energy in the crowd was indescribable and came to a high point during Drive. Everyone in the crowd was singing above Brandon and he was smiling contently the whole time. My absolute favorite moment was when they did a cover of Stand By Me by Ben E. King. It was a perfect song to sing in the city of "Brotherly Love" and my friend Heather and I threw our arms around each others shoulders and sang our hearts out. My second favorite moment was Punch Drunk, the people behind me kept asking everyone what song it was and if they were doing another cover, apparently they were not privy to the songs only released in Japan. It was pretty cool hearing that song live twice in the span of two days.
Overall not the best Incubus show I have been to, but still an amazing experience. I was also introduced to a band that I hadn't heard of and now love- The Bravery.
I just hope I don't have to wait two more years to see Incubus live again. The DVD's do not do them justice.

It was my first incubus concert and it was amazing. It was incredibly hot and I was drenched with other peoples sweat but it was still good. As soon as 'Stand by Me' went on I pretty much could die happy. It was my first concert with just me and my sister and it was our last since the fact that she's going to college in Pittsburg. We're best friends and are completely in love with incubus so it was a great night. Besides the fact that it was 90+ degrees out everything was amazing. The last song couldn't have been better. It was my favorite, 'Aqueous Transmission' and the citar was brilliant. I wish I would've gone to the Wednesday one as well but they were sold out.
it was my frist incubus concert and it was amazing. eveyone says they didnt interact with the crowd but it was 90+ degrees and im sure they just wanted to get back into teh ac. other than that all the songs were amazing and sung great by Brandon. it was an awesome concert
The Festival Pier is the worst music venue in Philly. Incubus was great musically. I would have liked to have heard more songs sure. It was hot and nasty in the trenches, it being a 90+ degree night. I can only imagine it was worse on stage with the lights. The problem with the place is that no one under 5'7'' could see anything. Festival Pier owners said "Hey, we could make some good money if we put a stage and sound system on this big slab of concrete". To actually make it functional, pour more concrete and slope the back up for audience sight lines would be money out of their pockets.
ok this was my first incubus concert i got there early so i could get in front which i did, and i loved the show. but the atmosphere just was not for me this was the first time i have ever been to a concert like this meaning rock/alternative whatever so i wasn't really used to all the pushing and everything. it def. was very tight and sweaty. people seemed to enjoy themselves lol except for these 2 girls who were fighting in my area when the bravery was still on lol that was funny, but anyway i tried to enjoy myself as much as possible but my demeanor isn't really meant for that type of crowd, but all and all i still love incubus, i loved the show, brandon's voice was great, and i got some really good pics so i'm happy...even tho my body hurts like i've been in a fight xP

This was my first Incubus show even though I've been a fan for quite a while and they did not disappoint. I had the best time, despite a handful of drunk girls tripping all over themselves in my general area. Brandon's voice is amazing--definitely one of the best rock vocalists of our generation. I was so stoked that they played Pistola, one of my favs. Soo cool that everyone sang along to just about every song. It was like we were one big, happy, sweaty family!! Can't wait to do it all over again real soon!
I am a HUGE Incubus fan and have seen them in concert many times. Last night was definatly a good concert but not the best. They needed to play longer and more stuff from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and more stuff from Make Yourself. Like i said it wasn't bad, but it could've been better...
sick sad little world was the highlight. awesome bass solo. lots of altered guitar riffs made the songs fresh and more exciting. only bad part was that there were alot of people around who didn't seem to notice those kinds of things.
I was actually considering making the 2 hour trip back to Philly for Wednesdays show. But not now after Mondays performance. They seemed very uninspired to be there or seemed to good for the venue or something. I hope for the fans sake they do a better show. I thought they would at least play for 2 hours. Come on Incubus, you are better than this.
I thought everything about the concert was amazing the set, the energy on stage and off! i got there at 4am n it was well worth it. it wasnt life wasted. granted the crowd was crazy but it was just the energy. everyone came together. i cant wait to see them play again tomorrow. to mwt127 do u have to be so negative? did u hear the crowd? i was up front n i cud hear everyone behind me singing the lyrics. and who cares how much u spent on a ticket money isnt everything.
I got to the show at around 3:30 p.m. and waited 3 and 1/2 hours to get it, and let me say it was worth it.... They came on and they just rocked it the f*** out!!!! i just remember the swarm of bodies all around me just knockin into each other, jumpin around, its was crazy!!! but i must say, they sound amazing live more so than anyone could imagine... I was about 2 people back from the rail(when incubus started at least) The crowd got crazy and there was a lot of pushin and shove'n, and people were passin out around me, but it was a great show... I ended up leavin the front about 6 songs it cause i was about to pass out from the heat, but it was good. They were more song i was they would of done, but it was a good show none the less...
Last night I considered myself a HUGE Incubus fan. I can now say this morning that I am not. This was the most uninspiring performance I have ever seen from a rock band. I spent over $50 to see them play for 1.5 hours of lazy, unemotional "rock" music. I just got back from Lollapalooza in Chicago where I saw Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Ben Harper, My Morning Jacket, The Rapture, and ofcourse Pearl Jam. Incubus does not deserve to be even mentioned in the same paragraph as these other bands, but I am forced to in order to make my point. These other bands played with heart, they played for a crowd. Incubus is no longer playing for 15-30 year old men such as myself. They are playing for 13 & 14 year old girls. I hope for the sake of everyone seeing the Wednesday night show that they play atleast two songs from SCIENCE and two from Make Yourself. That would be 4 times more than I heard.
Incubus maybe you need to Make Yourselves again. Youve lost your balls.
