My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
Forgot about that one! May be it simply because of the venue and exposure! Nice call!

this and/or Randles Island is my guess.
Great Set
Great Crowd
Band on top of their game
hottest ticket in town
etc.
Top of my head these are all better shows that ive attended than State College
Atlanta 94
Msg 9/11/98
Randalls2 - 96
The last Gorge show
Other one i wasnt at that is close or better
Key Arena 11/6/2000
This is just off top of my head. Im sure i could pick a lot more.
and still jonesing for another show....
"the waiting drove me mad..."
Do you think something like this would have to be a more mainstream thing? I mean voterwise? While I agree that the Atl was a great show...how many people outside the Jamily...(yes I said it!! In jest of course! ;-) ) would really know about this show even though it was a broadcast thing? I am thinking the 03 MSG or The Gorge might be it the more I think about it! And although you will always be a God in my eyes...I respectfully disagree!! btw...How are you Bro! ? :-)

Not my own personal favourite but magazines usually pick something with a significance and I think it ticks some boxes.
this is what im thinking. you're not going to see some obscure fan favorite show (which includes the gorge and the mansfield run). you're going to see something even a casual listener might recall... atlanta 94 or soldier field 95 spring to mind... radio shows, the band at the peak of their popularity, stunning shows, rabid crowds. those shows are legendary.
the bumfuck kansas show from 1998 isn't going to cut it.
Scotty my friend Atlanta 94 was braodcast all over the country on radio stations everywhere. Pearl Jam were at their peak and they ripped off a show to end all shows. Outside of the "jamily" do you think people were talking about State College? No way State College can be put in the same category as Atlanta 94, soldier field, Randalls etc. Is it up there? Yes! However shows from 2003 just dont stack up against shows from 94 or mid nighties in general. I think Relix will agree with me.
love you pal.
Come on. Band is on fire but take a deep breath. Lets settle down.
The answer is Soldier Field 1995!
1.Drop in the park...made headlines all over the world, was a free concert(still almost entirely unheard of), and was FINALLY officially released along with the Ten Redux, not to mention a brilliant performance.
2.Atlanta '94...broadcast live(again, STILL almost completely unheard of), damn near unanimously regarded as at least being in the top 5 of almost every PJ fan worldwide. They debuted THREE songs that night from Vitalogy, which hadn't even been released yet(record companies don't usually enjoy that sort of thing), plus the whole Kurt Cobain going missing dynamic, and Ed referring to it during the show.
Or it could just be Soldier Field...
the denfense rests your honor.
