    can't go wrong with Roo, Hartford, or MSGII.

    Hartford. But I'm biased.

    I've listened to Bonnaroo and while I LOVE the setlist I don't think Ed sounded that great. And No I wasn't there, and Yes I am completely jealous of all of you that were but I still don't care for how it sounds. However WMA and Who You Are do kick ass!

    That being said I've only listened to Hartford and Bonnaroo so far but went to the two Mansfields as well and have seen the setlists of the other shows and I'm sticking with my answer :)

    Camden I is one of the best boots ever IMO. Great setlist, band was super-tight, Ed's voice was in fine form, mixing and mastering near flawless. Bonaroo sounds like garbage. I've since deleted it it from both my ipod and my itunes. It was taking up valuable space. I'll probably end up trading it for a bootleg DVD or something.

    I vote anything other than the MSG's....people that went to the shows will try to tell you they were awesome, but the background singers were a horrible idea. I pretty much find the songs they did with them unlistenable (W.M.A. in particular). I actually removed both from my Ipod never to be heard from again- I would go:

    Bonnaroo
    Hartford
    Columbia
    Camden 1
    Washington DC
    Mansfield 2
    Virginia Beach
    Camden 2
    West Palm
    Tampa
    MSG 2
    MSG 1
    Mansfield 1

    Hartford.. Bonnaroo..

    and let me be the first to say.. CAMDEN 2.

    Really.. look at the set list. And the band is in fine form (except for the LBC flub, which they never even attempted again all tour..).
    2004 - 10/1, 10/11
    2005 - 9/15, 9/16, 9/30, 10/1, 10/3
    2006 - 5/5, 5/12, 5/13, 5/27, 5/28, 5/30, 6/1, 6/3, 6/23, 7/22, 7/23, 12/2
    2007 - 6/27, 8/3
    2008 - 6/14, 6/19, 6/20, 6/22, 6/24, 6/25, 6/27, 6/28, 6/30, 7/1

    I would agree. I had a really good time at Tampa. Probably because I went to WPB by myself and was stuck on the side of the ampitheater.

    Both Camdens the crowd was electric, but I would go with Camden 1 just because of the fresh set list. Lotta new songs played for the first time. And Rats - come on, Rate for Christ's sake. Oh, and a Leash that sounds like it "dropped"(pun intended) out of 1993.

    Columbia....then WPB. Try those two.
    It's funny when things change so much
    It's all state of mind

    Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff

    You think you hate it now, wait till you drive it...

    Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

    Tampa didn't have backup singers

    Backup singers were the moment Pearl Jam jumped the shark- so in that sense the MSG's were the worst shows in the history of Pearl Jam
