    Good Thread!!

    I've narrowed it down to 3:

    Oct. 31 Philly Spectrum 2009
    May 02 Buffalo HSBC 2003
    Sept 11 Kitchener 2005

    All of them good shows. All of them personally excellent experiences.

    If I had to choose one though....... I would choose Buffalo 2003. Besides the setlists and the crowd... there was really something special about that show that I can't quite explain. And even when you listen to the bootleg.. it all comes back.

    Cheers

    Interesting. It would def have to be one I attended. Hartford 98 (my first) is up there but it ended early. I'm gonna go with Hartford 2006. Ed was loving the crowd that night even though it was cold as hell.
    Interesting choice. I was at he 98, 06 & 08 Hartford shows. I thought the 98 show was excellent. The 06 was average to me. But to me, the 2008 Hartford show ruled. It was, IMO, the best show of that tour. I have a bootleg of the 96 Hartford show, i wasn't there but it seems like an excellent show.

    This is incredibly hard to do because I have been very fortunate to have seen quite a few amazing shows. If I had to choose 1, I would choose Mansfield 2003, night 3 (2 sets). Was there and was an amazing show. Here are some other shows that I like are:

    1990-10-22 Seattle, WA; Off Ramp (1st show, gotta love this)

    1991-11-4 Amherst, MA; University Of Massachusetts (live 20 minutes away - I wish there was an actual recording of this show, never seen a known recording of this show)

    1992-6-8 Landgraaf, Netherlands; Geleen (Pinkpop Festival) & the 2nd time here: 4-7-92 Amherst, MA; UMass (again, no known recording that i have seen)

    1993-11-5 Indio, CA; Empire Polo Fields (Fuck Me In The Brain show)

    1994-04-02 Atlanta, GA; Fox Theater (night 1- everyone agrees on this one, but I would have loved to have been to Boston 94), 4-12-94 Boston, MA; Orpheum Theater (great show, great setlist)

    1995-7-11 Chicago, IL; Soldier Field

    1996-9-29 New York, NY; Downing Stadium-Randall's Island (night 2)

    1997-11-12 Santa Cruz, CA The Catalyst

    1998-9-11 New York, NY; Madison Square Garden (night 2) (my 1st show)

    1999- Bridge (either night)

    2000-11-06 Seattle, WA; Key Arena (night 2)

    2001- Bridge (either night)

    2002-12-9 Seattle, WA; Key Arena (night 2)

    2003- Penn St. (was there), Boston (night 3 - was there), and MSG Live at the Garden - was there)

    2004-9-29 Boston, MA; Fleet Center (night 2- was there)

    2005- Philly, PA; Wachovia (was there)

    2006-7-23 George, WA; Gorge Amphitheater (either night)

    2007-Chicago, IL; VIC Theater

    2008-6-14 Manchester, TN; (Bonnaroo Festival) & Hartford (was there)

    2009- Philly (night 3 & 4 was there & they fucking ruled!!!!)

    2010-10-22 TBD (20th anniversary show; will be there!!!)

    Its the one that started it all for me

    Mine would be the night before (04/11/94) for the same reason. Eddie was OFF THE CHARTS. A very emotional time for the band (loss of Kobain days earlier). Just fantastic, although if I had to go to the "Experiment", that would be a nice second choice.

    mmmm

    Maybe unplugged or Benaroya, I think I'd need a show where ed is on, and many of the big venues his voice sounds less than stellar.

    Unplugged for Black and Porch Alone

    I've never listened to that show. I'll have to give it a listen since you both really like it. Actually, I haven't listened to many of the 2000 Euro shows, but i used to listen to both of the Katowice, Poland shows and those are really good shows.

    Another awesome show is Red Rocks 95. Actually, both shows were awesome, but night 2 specifically I like. Would have been even better if they actually were able to finish Ship Song. Also, the song Fallen was played for the 1st & last time, unfortunately. Falling is a great tune. I'd love to get the studio version of it. You can see Fallen on one of those tapes when you look at the right inside cover of Lost Dogs. They should have put it on there.

  • Great fun question

    First of all, I can't imagine this not being personal for anyone (I didn't read the entire string).

    I have to say that as my 10club # number starting paying off and my seats got closer and closer the shows kept getting more and more exciting and special.

    The Gorge Shows in '06

    6th row just shy of center and then dead center respectively. Hotter than a mother fucker, beautiful, great crowds and awesome shows. religious at moments.
