Maybe the best Pearl Jam of all time! Ticket prices were affordable. In 2000 I was able to justify going to Phoenix, Las Vegas, Portland, Boise, and both Seattle show relatively cheap..The band was amazing every single night Phoenix it rained buckets. Vegas was tenth anniversary show. Portland was my hometown show. Boise the crowd stacked the chairs on the floor to make it a general admission floor show.. And Seattle one the crowd was lame for the chili peppers and pj. And Seattle II was epic 3 cd show..got the poster still from that night...Good Times...Peace and Love, HomeAir

2000 was pretty good too. The downside I felt was that the North America tour lived in the shadow of Roskilde, and I tihnk it took the band a while to bounce back from that.
Boise still one of my favorite PJ shows I've ever seen. I don't remember the chairs stacking thing though. I was 6th row on the floor and no one was stacking chairs around me. It was epic though. There were so few fan club members at that show that pretty much all members got great seats. The crowd was insanely energtic. My favourite of the 5 shows I saw in 2000 (Vancouver, Portland, Boise, Seattle x2) and probably #2 or #3 amongst all the PJ shows I've ever seen.
I have real soft spot for the Binaural tour. It's the only time I've actually followed the band around for more than two cities. Vancouver/Seattle is my usual thing, but that tour I talk a few friends into seeing more. Good times
The Binaural tour will always be special to me because it was the first time I did an actual mini-tour (Saratoga through Camden 2, and then Montreal as a 1-off). Still, I can't help but wonder what the tour would have been like had Roskilde never happened. The tour was awesome though, no doubt.

95 was good vintage angry PJ, always holds a place for me, but.....
98 was when the band and especially Mike started looking more comfortable performing live.
With the longer tour cycle they hit their stride and all the shows I saw were electric.

Vs. Vitalogy - high school
No Code, Yield, Binaural - college
Riot Act - grad school
ST, Backspacer - married, career
Lightning Bolt - birth of daughter
Every tour has memories associated with it. I don't spend time thinking about high school - but the reason I love the 94-95 tour cycle might be that the emotion/energy output of the band intersected with a very intense emotional time in my life (not in a bad way necessarily). Its like certain smells remind you of a time/person, etc., etc., My continued attachment stays but without thinking about all of the memories I have about being a teenager. Its like attachment rooted in my person without being all reflective.
based on your "chart" we are about the same age so I def relate to this.
for me music more than anything triggers memories.
I just wish my mom would have let me go to see them on the VS. tour. )
I had friends who were at the Fox Theater show and I was sitting home listening(recording) to it on my shelf system stereo hoping not to lose the FM signal.
I should have been thankful that my local station broadcast it, although the rumor is they had to shut down from paying all the FCC fines for Eddie's colorful language.
Still have that unedited cassette tape somewhere under my bed.
