    I would say the LA shows. Just because the sound is much better and the band sounded tighter than they do at the Philly shows. IMO.

    The LA series is better in my opinion

    Philly. The sound is great and just look at those setlists! Also, the band was way tighter than people are saying. Amazing box set.

    L.A. 3 & 4 are better than the 4 Philly shows combined! I think they are the best 2 shows the band has played in the last four years, maybe longer, although 06 had a few really outstanding shows as well.

    Philly all the way man! Plus, it comes in a kick-ass box set, with some great trading cards of each band member on them... and no show I've ever seen has topped that final show, 10/31/09 - Halloween Night! It's almost been a year already, wow! But which ever one you choose, It's Pearl Jam, so you can't lose! Enjoy!

    You just can't put the show energy, pre-party & fan meet up(elwayvedder & petrocs :D ), and the last day of the Spectrum into the box. Get the Philly box, you will be happy.

    i thought this was between 2 shows,not 1 against all 4 philly nights.

    LA IMO. I find myself rarely listening to the philly shows but always coming back to listen to LA. LA 3 and 4 are unreal, sound quality is perfect, band was so tight.

    Yes, this.

    LA is better by a long shot. Band sound much tighter, sound on the boots is much better.

    Thanks... I'm leaning towards LA and may get San Diego too.

    "The Philly 4" without a doubt. The bands energy combined with the fans energy was amazing. I was at Philly 3 and the official bootleg does not do it justice. The LA shows sound great, but Philly is just a little better.

    This is a better option to me than Philly. LA3 & 4 + San Diego + Philly 3 would be where my money would go. I don't think all 4 LA shows or all 4 Philly shows are spectacular and do you really need trading cards with the band members... :geek:
