I'd be wrong if I didn't tell you about the band out today that has the ability to match Pearl Jam in Greatness.

Stone Temple Pilots.

My God what a fucking incredible show. Scott is finally free from drugs and they are at the top of their game in very small venues as they get their legs back under them again. I just saw them at the Borgata in AC and they blew us away.

Go see them now as soon as you can. I love PJ, but if there was ever a Vice President more deserving of Rock God greatness standing next to Eddie.... it would be a clean and sober Scott Weiland.

Jesus... I cannot tell you people how absolutely fucking incredible they are now. You will be hearing new stuff from STP real soon.

Philly 05. I don't think I really need to explain that one.

MSG 1 08. Fucking sick show from start to finish, with a great setlist. AMAZING energy.

Borgata II 05. My first PJ show ever. Started with Present Tense, and I knew it would be special.

MSG 2 08. Energy was just as good as MSG 1 if not better, although the setlist wasn't quite as good.

ER 2 06. An awesome show with a nice set to close out leg one of that tour, Rats, In Hiding, HTI, Last Exit.

1. 9/29/96 Randall's Island-2nd PJ show ever and they played for close to 3 hours. I don't think anything will top that show

2. 10/3/05 Wachovia Center-There's something about this show that really stands out. The version of Alive they played here is my absolute favorite of all time. And hearing Crown of Thorns wasn't bad either.

3. 9/28/96 Randall's Island-1st ever time seeing PJ live. I remember getting there early and rushing to get to the front as it was all GA. Hearing Ben Harper, dealing with drunken idiots, John Popper from Blues Traveler playing on Evenflow, having my tape recorder confiscated and then returned(all the while never being shut off). How can you not ask for a better show?

4. 5/12/06 Albany-This concert was like my hometown show as it was the closest they come for me. Sitting 10th row center, thanks 10c, and catching Eddie's pick after Why Go.

5. 9/10/98 MSG-Pearl Jam's first show at the Garden. Ben Harper opening, hearing All those Yesterdays live, and the excitement around it being their first show ever at MSG

13 Pearl Jam shows with 2 more coming this year. Chicago 1 and Philly 2. Best band in the world. Period.

I have been a long time fan, but the only show I have been to is MSG08 2, 6/25/08. It's nice to see so many of youhave it on your list. I was behind the stage about two rows from the top of the building so it was hard to get a good handle on the true performance, sound and visually wise it sucked. But what in particular was it about this show that made it one of your favorites. It looks like Release, Garden, Rats were all treats, but I;m wondering what else did it for you. Appreciate any input.

By the way, Spectrum 2 '09 will be my second show.

I saw them this tour...not in a small venue, but even still I'm sorry I have to disagree with you on this. Nowhere near a PJ show imo.

5. Vedder Memphis 09- need I say more.

6. Toronto 09- will be epic...just wait.

Not really a good question for me as the show in Toronto in 3 weeks will only be my 7th time seeing them . . . . so i will rank ALL 6 of the shows I've been to . . . .

#1 - BARRIE, ON 08/22/98

Number 1 by far. My first time seeing them, general admission craziness, and it was my 20th birthday.

#2 - OTTAWA, ON 09/16/05

A home town show and they played for nearly 3 hours . . . amazing setlist

#3 - KITCHENER, ON 09/11/05

Amazing to see them in such a small venue

#4 - TORONTO, ON 06/28/03

Great venue, and decent seats given they were not 10C seats

#5 - TORONTO, ON 10/05/00

Not bad, but we were in the nosebleeds. The setlist was okay, but given we were so far away from the stage, I didn't really feel it....

#6 - MONTREAL, QC 10/04/00

Same reasons as above. Good show, and it was great to see them live again, but something was lacking given our proximity to the stage.
