PJ's Best Concert Elimination Tournament ?

Since everyone always is engaging in these (mostly) friendly debates about which show is best... did anyone ever have the idea to create a field of 32 PJ shows and run a single-elimination tournament over a couple of weeks. Basically, you'd have two shows head-to-head in a tournament like March Madness. You could give the playlists to both, maybe some special thing they are known by. Anyone who was at one of the shows could weigh in (or at both and compare them). People would then vote for the winner. After a day or two of voting, winner moves to the sweet 16 (and so on) and loser goes home. Worthwhile summer time waster or no?

It doesn't seem like I have access to posting a poll... but I suppose this could be done manually as well.

If any interest is shown.. we'd just need a list of 32 which shouldn't be hard. There would be some grumbling about the bubble tournaments but the eventual winner won't be confused for #33 anyway so it should be all good.

    Better yet - you shouldn't be allowed to vote on shows you've been to.. people tend to have a bias towards those shows.

    do not let this show fall under the radar:

    06/16/00 - Spodek: Katowice, Poland

    easily top 2 or 3 shows of the entire 2000 tour.

    Any show where you can just say the city and which night of the stand if it applies. Of course MSG is the one venue that really doesn't work for.

    i would hate to be excluded from voting for one of my great shows. maybe we should use a 10 point scale when two shows go head to head. you give it a score and state if you attended. if you attneded, your score is reduced by 1 or 2 points.
