    Roo but I'm biased as that's the only show I caught (actually the only PJ show I've ever been too...).
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

  • Hartford or MSG1. They are really close.

    Columbia and Roo are also amazing.

    I rotate these 4 on a regular basis. Hartford is probably the best though.
    I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah

    I've only heard Tampa, Roo, DC and MSG1 and out of those I would definitely have to go w/ DC.

  • there is no best show!! we all have different tastes and experiences!

    i shook Ed's hand and got a pick & tambourine at Mansfield II so that was my best show of all time!! but i heard some people got pissed on at that show so they probably didn't think it was too great!

    to me the best show is the one i have tickets for!!

    Yes I understand and agree with you. There is no one absolute best show. But I am attempting to discover which show on the 2008 Tour is perceived as being the best show by those fans who wish to vote their opinion. Nothing is set in stone, it's just a poll of PJ fans!

    I thank you all for voting, and I will be posting an updated version of the poll later in the week.

  • I wasn't at any of the other shows, but Columbia was just special. It was my first show, and nothing could've been more perfect. The band, the crowd, the setlist, the whole energy there was just phenomonal. Anyone who attended that show would be able to agree with me I believe.

    These responses seen pretty biased. I don't think you're ever going to get a true count of peoples opinions. Seems most are choosing either the only show they went to (or the best of 3-4) or their home town show.

    Having listened to all of the shows on Boot but not attended a show Hartford stands tall above the rest. If we're basing it on crowd interaction and overall fun time, unless somebody was at every show it's impossible to judge.

    Kind of like "can't respond due to insignificant date"

    For me its between MSG 1 and Hartford

    I'll go with Hartford for the following reasons

    1)Rare songs like Breakerfall,Can't Keep,Immortality,Smile,Brain of J.,ABITW Tag
    2)Friday Night show and I had a hotel room with some heavy drinkin after the show...could sleep in
    3)Broke My cousin's PJ cherry and he's been thanking me ever since
    4)Not as high expectations than the MSG's made for that whole turning to your neighbor and sayin "Can u believe their playin that"

    Great Night

    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.
