    I might just choose Mansfield cause it has the most songs.

    Hmm... earlier, when they had much more energy and a better sound on the earlier stuff, but fewer songs. Or more recently where the early stuff is played just ok, but they have brilliant new stuff. Tough call!
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    Good grief man what a question to ask!! Listening to the live broadcast on BBC radio from Atlanta 94 will stick in my mind forever especially with the whole Kurt Cobain disappearance mystery still up in the air and with hearing Satan's Bed, Whipping and Betterman for the first time but from my boot collection the winner is............................................London 02 Arena 2009. I wasn't even there but this is so hard to beat for quality. Crowd, setlist, performance, mood are all exactly how a live gig should be and if Dublin is half as good then that one will obviously be the best ever :lol: Honestly, I get sick of hearing people right after a gig saying, "This has got to be released on dvd!" But this gig has got it and it's a shame we can't re-live it on dvd. Blue-ray :D
    Like a book among the many on a shelf...

    Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
    Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12

    Hopefully Buffalo 2010...
  • Halloween at The Spectrum in Philly. Longest show ever. Tricks and plenty of treats. Is there any comparison? That capped the best four-show stand in the band's history, and I don't think it will be topped.

    I still can't come up with just one... :? Can we put together a compilation of a few different shows? That may make it so much easier...

    That is an unbelievable set list, and I'm sure an amazing show.

    A lot of my favorites on there, but I am biased to say the 10/30/09 show was superb and I don't see how it could be topped. Particularly because I got to hear the new stuff and also my favorite Present Tense.

    State College '03. Best show ever. I have won the lottery twice and for this show I was way up and to the Stone side of the stage. It is still simply the best concert I have ever attended.
  • can i just listen to the philly boots so i can claim that it's a tie between philly 3 or 4? i can tell by the setlists that they're gonna be the best shows ever. but at the moment i will say it's msg 7-8-03, it's my first show and i get to relive it over & over on dvd. :D p.s. actually that's a tie also along with atlanta 94 radio broadcast(still have it on cassette with the after-show) i can still hear the basketball bouncing in my head right now during the encore breaks... :lol:
    Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed...

    Philly III. From everything to the hype leading up to the show, the setlist, the energy of the crowd and band, it was just epic.
