MSG 2 '98
MSG 1 '03
(is there a consensus on which show was better in '08?)
MSG 2 '10



Ive been at every msg show theyve done except msg 2 '98 (doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

My favorite and what i consider the best ever show ive seen by any band or artist is MSG 1 '03

    I'm not sure since I've only been to the 2010 shows, but it seems to me like the 2008 shows are easily forgotten in the mix.

    I was not at either 03 show & MSG 1 08.

    Crowd was unreal @ MSG 2 2010
    The place rocked from start to finish.
    MSG 98 2 rocked harder @ points but this crowd Friday, like nothing I have ever seen.

    I thought MSG 2 2010 was the best ever at the garden..ive been to all of them.

    The band and the crowd rose up to perfection!

    been to em all EXCEPT MSG 1 this year, Ugh, just couldnt make it, sucks

    anyway , un bias thoughts on all

    MSG 1, 98 - my first jam show , so i thought it was unreal until

    MSG 2, 98 - lol totally blew it away, breath-solat encore, breath signs,

    MSG 1, 03 - unreal, totally awesome, real close to 98 prob tied

    MSG 1 + 2, 2008 - i dont know what the F happened here lol, but very lackluster for MSG, good, solid shows but tons of repeats, nothing out of ordinary really, again good, but nothing like previous

    MSG 2 . 2010 - best pearl jam show I ever saw, beat 98-2 & 03-1 bya decent margin, I never experience anything like that at concert ever & probably never will

    its so weird that the 08 shows were so-so , maybe thats why these last 2 were so amazing

    I've attended every MSG show except the 1998 shows....so out of the 6 I've seen.

    1. MSG 2 2010
    2. MSG 2 2003
    3. MSG 1 2010
    4. MSG 1 2003
    5. MSG 2 2008
    6. MSG 1 2008


    I will tell you though, that all six of those shows fall in the top 10 of the 25 shows I've seen and that includes 3 Gorge shows, Wachovia 2005, Night 2, 3, 4 at the Spectrum

    I would put MSG 2 1998 at number 2....and yes I believe MSG 2 2003 was absolutely rocking, but it could be arguably flip flopped with MSG 1 03

    The 2008 shows at the bottom of that list doesn't do it justice. The crowds were great, just the setlists were ok...but the experience in 08 was still incredible.
