? What's the best place to see PJ play? I think it's usually based on the setlists but I don't know.

    Most of the shows I've seen have been arena shows..MSG and the like. As well as many at Camden which is a canopy deal. I was at Lolla '07 and that was pretty cool seeing them outside but I'm not the biggest fan of festivals. And I was at Hershey '03 and while that show seems to get dissed sometimes (and I was in a pretty lame section to boot), I enjoyed it a lot because of the outdoor vibe. I'd love to see them in a Red Rocks/Gorge type of setting.

    Most of the time it's been in Camden which has a decent venue but in a very rough hood. MSG has a good vibe and Verizon center is run by Mossad security. Spectrum was a great place that will be missed, but I think the Borgata was my very favorite place to see them. Although, I think the 10/30 show was their very best that I've seen, the crowd was awesome that night

    The Gorge is fantastic. I have seen them twice there and have never been disappointed.
    Slipped on a curb in the road.

    I enjoyed my shows at MSG a lot, but love seeing them at Alpine Valley. Chicago Stadium was a hell of a place to see them too.

    I've always had a soft spot for the Knick in Albany NY, of all the east coast venues I've regularly seen them at. Not too big of place, fan club tix have treated me wll, and getting in and out of there is piece of cake. Not a huge fan of the amphitheaters.

    Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles was probably the best indoor venue I've ever been to.
    Members Equity Stadium in Perth West Australia was great too. Everyone who was there Nov 14 will vouch for it.

    In Columbus, Ohio? Polaris is gone now...but it was never a great place to see shows. Too bad I could have seen them at the Neport here in Columbus....that would have been awesome!!!

    Arena over amphitheater every time for me. But I would love to see them at a unique place like Red Rocks.

    I have to admit, although the Spectrum was pretty much a dump, and very difficult place to get around and go to bathroom in, it was the best large venue I have seen Pearl Jam in. And it was far and away the best sounding.

    As far as cities, I wish I would have gone to some of the smaller cities like Little Rock, Birmingham, Raleigh, etc. Maybe my mid-range 10C number would have gotten better seats. I am tired of going to Philly and Boston where it is like 10C central up there or something!
