    Good ones, Lolo. :plus_one:

    The first that came to my mind was Atl '94.

    My first show was Hartford 96, but I'd have like to have been in Maine a couple of weeks earlier. Just couldn't get tickets.

    I'd have loved to have been in Toronto in 2016 for both nights. I love the poster from night 2, and the blue Leafs/Lightning Bolt jersey is awesome. If I had to choose one night over the other, it would easily be night 1 - Binaural is my favorite PJ album. No way I could have known about the jerseys or that they'd play Binaural, though. It's also not quite a day trip for me and my wife to get to Toronto and back. My wife did get me a white jersey from those shows though. Went over well at the hockey games in St. Paul last weekend. :)

    As for shows that I could have gone to but didn't, Boston 2 in 2003 stands out. I got 10 Club tickets to night 1, and bought a ticket to night 3 on eBay (and was there for the acoustic set), but not knowing ahead of time about "the experiment", I didn't have time to figure out how to get down there for night 2. Still kind of wish I'd figured out how to get there.

    That Augusta, Maine show was my 2nd pj show.

    Outstanding show, great setlist, had the rail for awhile, big full moon outside.

    The one I wish for is red rocks 2 in 95.

    night 1 was my 1st pj show and I was too young and dumb to even know about night 2.

    12/2/06 Honolulu, HI. I was there, but it was my last show EVER as a single guy. The 12/9/06 Aloha Stadium show with U2 was my first as a married man. Different mindset I guess???

    PinkPop 1992 is the first thing that comes to mind. Just incredible. They never had a show like that, and never will. It's in a league of it's own. The energy, the sound, the crowd, the tight but still captivating setlist. Everything.

    Tied for second: All Three Mansfield 2003 Shows (Being surprised with that "task at hand" woulds have been unforgettable), Wrigley 2013 (To experience the craziness of that rain delay and then an amazing show afterwards would be a cool adventure), Milwaukee 2014 (Yield is my second favorite album, and since my favorite is Vitalogy, this is my favorite album they've played live to date, so I would love to see this), Wrigley 2016 Night 2 (Just to be hit with Oceans and Footsteps right from the top is enough to make me want to be there. Release is my favorite opener for sure, but Oceans is not a bad alternative, and then FOOTSTEPS right after!! Also, one of the best live performances of Corduroy. And then to surprise with I've Got A Feeling after Y Led was amazing!) Wish I was at all of these.

    Excited for Wrigley this summer! And if I could go, I would definitely make it to PinkPop this year. What a lineup: our guys, Foo Fighters, Greta Van Fleet, Bruno Mars, and so many more!

    I'm only going to choose shows after I became a Pearl Jam fan, here are some I can think of that seemed great and I missed

    Acoustic show at Benaroya Hall in 2003
    The four-show run at the Philly Spectrum in 2009
    Milwaukee 2014, when all of Yield was played in order
    Toronto 2016, when all of Binaural was played in order
    Geenville 2016, when all of Vs. was played in order
    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
    If I knew where it was I would take you there.

    Starting in 94' I have seen shows on just about every tour in PJ's career. I still think for me if I could choose I would go back to the VS' tour and see some of the obscure sets they played.

    A couple that come to mind are:

    11.20.93 Nagdoches, Tx 
    they did Ledbetter, Footsteps, Throw Your Arms Around Me back to back while Dave was catching his breath. Also Garden and Alone.

    Chicago Stadium on Jeffs Birthday 3.10.94 and Chicago 3.13.94 at the Regal Theater. Those sets blow away the Fox and the Orpheum. Band was in top form right at the beginning of the tour before the dark sadness of Kurt dying.

    BTW to the guy who said Spectrum 4 "Out of My Mind" if you are gonna pick a show for that reason, the original was outstanding, 4.02.94. Fantastic set! They did the mini-opera and played amazing. Was a magical night!
    1994 - Pensacola, Miami, Atlanta - 1995 - Milwaukee, Milwaukee, New Orleans (Tickets to Phoenix, Las Cruces, Austin, Shows Canceled) - 1996 - Randalls Island, Randalls Island, Charlotte, N.Charleston, Ft.

    Atlanta 94. My first show was a week earlier in Murfreesboro and I was riding that high. I somewhat felt like I was there sitting in my room listening (and recording) it on the radio. Still one of my favorite bootlegs ever.
    Mansfield 3 - acoustic set opener is amazing
    State College 03 - another one of my favorite boots
    Moline 14 - almost drove up there to try to go to this show but decided not to the night before. Really wish I'd gone now

    I went to Moline and last minute tickets were pretty much impossible to find. Would have been tough to get in the building if you didn’t come with tickets.

    Beneroya Hall for sure... my first taste of how brutal my hometown shows were going to be as far as getting tickets... missing that one caused me to sign up for tenclub to help my chances.

    In 1993, I was a college kid in Eastern Washington and all my buddies were going to the Gorge to see Pearl Jam and Neil Young. I thought I couldn't afford a ticket at the time and didn't go. I've regretted it ever since.

    Never too much to wish for. I would have loved being at Beneroya, Pistola, Atlanta 94 (cos the Fox is great place) but my top pick would be Pinkpop 92. Poster above was right..it's in a league of it's own. Ed's dive off the camera into the crowd during Porch, the energy, crowd are just epic. Watching it I get the sense it's also when Ed realizes just how powerful Pearl Jam is capable of becoming and seeing their dreams coming true.
