philly were awesome but boston 06 num 2 was off the hook. they dropped the leash, porch pre set, epic black best ever . theo epstein playn guitar, eddie falling drunk during alive solo, and mike playn star spangled banner for the first time sweet. ive heard over 100 boots and that just rules.
Newcastle, Australia - November 19, 2006. Check this setlist out:

Encore 2

Three fans got over 2200 names on a petition to get PJ to play Newcastle and Eddie thanked the 3 by name during the encores and dedicted Crown of Thorns to them. The surfer Mark Richards chose the setlist and came out on stage to skull Ed's bottle of wine as 'payment'. Alive as an opener, Undone, Alone, 2 NY covers... Awesome show.

09/11/98 MSG 2 The first time BREATH was played in years
This was the best show I have been at
Wrong decade. Hartford June 08
I agree with you. Hartford kicked ass last year.
Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford
"Becoming a Bruce fan is like hitting puberty as a musical fan. It's inevitable." - dcfaithful
But to not be biased, based on boots I have heard:
Seattle 2 2000
State College 2003 (long show as we all know)
Both MSGs of 2003
Boston 3 2003
San Diego 2006
My pick would go to Seattle 2 just because it was such a long year for them and having gone through Roskilde. Also because of this show: the -Man Trilogy, the only time Alive was played in the States, and everything else about that show that made it special and epic. Also, All Music called it "an essential live document." This I feel is the show of the decade.

Comments
I agree! As others have said I am biased since I was there, so it is hard to judge fairly. But this is one boot that I can listen to over and over.
