Naturally, I left out the tours that did not have official boots.

My overall fave is 06. most diverse setlists, the quality of the boots is unmatched, and I just get "that feeling" when listening to them. Also, Even Flow drum solo...cannot go wrong there!!!
Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    I agree especially the euro ones.

    The 2009 have some eally good ones but there is not enough crowd volume for my tastes. I like to hear the crowd singing along.

    2000.

    The original PJ Boot tour, along with Touring Band.

    These shows and CD's were great.

    Yield, Binaural, No Code and the holy 3.

    I was fortunate to see a few shows in 2000 and the energy was high. Ed's voice was still strong.

    well I like the 2000 boots the best I think-although some good ones in 2003

    but as far as shows go, I cant pick one
    there have been great shows every tour

    I agree...I just think that the setlists in 06 were the best. Most different songs played. Until 09 of course...

    I just decided that I wanna collect every show I can get my hands on. I have about 60 (mostly 03 and 05 but some scattered in the mid 90s) so far via a leisurely pace, but Im about to enter full onslaught collecting mode!

    If anyone can suggest the best route to go about doing this, send me a PM.

    I got about 50 boots, but my favorite year is 2006. I love the original 2000 boots with the special digipack format, but 2006 had such great setlists. So diverse, just a homerun by the boys that year.

    Yeah because they started breaking out the rare stuff
    But I go to a bunch of shows every tour and there is always one that stands out from the others-(note: just the northeast)
    98-MSG 2
    00-jones beach 2
    03-uniondale (honorable mention to boston 2 and holmdel-which I did not go to)-all underrated and overlooked shows due to the experiment and MSG)
    05-borgata 2
    06-albany (honorable mention to NJ2)
    08-hartford
    09-philly 2

    These shows are all equal to me, I walked out of each saying "man, that was fucking great"

    If the '05's were released on flac/cd like the other tour's did, it would so move up in the ranks.

    Well the Euro 2000 boots started my fandom with Pearl Jam, always have a soft spot for those. Warm sound.

    Loved the 2000 tour in general. Very tight, tense shows.

    2003 was disappointing, sloppy.

    2006 US & Euro was great. Band were on fire

    2008 I can't really judge, the boots were unlistenable

    2009 sounds really good. the 02 boot, LA 3 & 4. All classics

    I agree with this %100. MAYBE one day, it will be released in FLAC?

    I think Ed's voice was the strongest in 03'. It's scary how great it is.
