If you could go back in time to see ONE PJ show that you didn't see live, which show and why?

For me, Wrigley 2013.  Planned on going but my son was born on the 15th, so had to cancel.  The rain, playing until 1 or 2:00, the set list, first time at Wrigley, Ernie Banks...so many reasons.

    Drop in the Park show, 9-20-92, for sure. I had a couple of friends going, but I apparently had more important things to do and didn't go. I don't even remember what the hell I was doing, but have regretted not going to that show for almost 25 years! My daughter was 2 at the time, so I assume I had some sort of parenting duty, but damn, that was a show I shouldn't have missed.

    That would be a tough decision.  Definitely early days.  I'm sorry, they may have placed some amazing shows recently but I would trade a 30 song, MSG 2010 show for a 14 song set from 1992 any time. 

    I would narrow it down to:

    Soldier Field 1995

    Atlanta 1994

    Or some 1992 club show

    I'd love to see one of the show's they played at Harpo's here in Victoria.  I think they played two shows here in 1991.   At least one of them was with AIC.   I'd loved to go see that one.    I would of been 14 when they played those shows.  Way too young to sneak into a bar (and I'm not sure the band was on my radar back then?).   It's the only time they ever played on Vancouver Island.  They got too big and we are a smaller market with a smaller arena :(  It would of been so cool to see them play here.

    Probably The Gorge in 2005 that started with a mellow sit down set that I can imagine was enhanced by the scenery.

    The Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, 2000. The show isn't known as a particularly stellar performance or setlist. It's just that this is my favorite music venue in the whole wide world (so far), so I'm really really really sorry that I didn't get to see my favorite band play there (there weren't any ticket sales for it - I think it was 100% by radio giveaway or something like that). Plus, the capacity is about 1,200 or so, all GA.

    4/12/94 at the Orpheum Theater which I passed on tickets for (DUMB!) or the 7/11/03 "experiment" in Mansfield which I didn't want to drive in from Amherst for (LAZY AND DUMB!).

    It was pretty a cool show.  The one time I got to see the band in a small venue.    For us plebs the only way to get in was winning tickets from cfox.    I was in first year of college and studying for finals, so I had the radio on all the time.  Kept trying and trying.  Finally got through.. person ahead of me blew a trivia question, and I was next in line, and didn't F it up :) 

    There were a number of celebs there too, so I guess that was the other way in.  I met Bret Hart because he was there on my path to the washroom.. lol.  I think capacity is about 1000.  It's also got that wicked bouncing floor (Some kind of surface that has a layer tennis balls below it).  I was listening to the Vancouver 2013 bootleg today, and Eddie mention that's some commodore ballroom shit right there...

    In reality: Voodoo 2013. I was a cheerleader in high school and I had to cheer at our high schools football game the same night. As it was the rivalry game, our coach would not let me get out of it at all. Didn't even attempt to go over and catch them afterwards, even though I had a weekend pass.

    If I had a time machine:  Probably a club show from 92 or Arena show from 93-94. The epitome of PJ, right? I would have loved to have seen a 92 show with some crazy Eddie antics. But the ferocity of those Vs/Vitalogy tour shows just mesmerizes me every time I put one on Youtube. Ah man, if only i had been born 20 years earlier:

    Or, Apline Valley PJ 20. Life forced my hand and was not able to attend.
