Which was better? Who went to all 7 shows? I was at all 3 Boston 03' shows and cannot imagine anything better than those dates... (or that month in Boston!)
Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    I'll go with Philly 4. I'm biased since I was there but I think the setlist is a little better and in Philly we didn't have to deal with Sleater Kinney.

    EDIT: I've listened to the Boston 3 boot many, many times. I know it's not the same as being there, but I do know how the show sounded at least.

    Boston 3 because it was like going to a Pearl Jam concert and getting to watch an "Unplugged" performance as a bonus. Amazing.

    Boston 3 was better than Philly 4. I wasn't at either but I have heard both boots. However, I have to say that as a whole, the Philly 09 experience was better than the Boston 03 experience overall. Can't wait to get the official Philly boots in the mail.

    Good one :lol:

    State College -- its a long show and it must have been awesome to be there, but I think there are much better shows from that tour. Among others, Id rate these shows from 2003 much higher: Buffalo, MSG1 & 2, Mexico City, San Antonio, San Diego, Mansfield (7/3 and 7/11).
    6/3/06 (East Rutherford 2)
    6/24/08 (MSG1)
    6/25/08 (MSG2)
    7/1/08 (Beacon Theater -NYC)
    10/30/09 (Philly3)
    5/18/10 (Newark, NJ)
    5/20/10 (MSG1)
    5/21/10 (MSG2)
    10/18/13 (Brooklyn 1)
    10/19/13 (Brooklyn 2)
    5/1/16 (MSG 1)
    5/2/16 (MSG 2)
    3/30/20 (MSG)
    9/3/24 I(MSG1)
    9/4/24 (MSG 2)

    Philly 3 was the greatest show in the bands history. Philly 4 is a top 5 show in the bands history. Boston 3 is a top 10 show in the bands history.
