    This was tough to decide, but it's an all Matt Cameron top-3!

    1. Pearl Jam - September 11, Air Canada Centre, Toronto
    2. Pearl Jam - September 25, Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver
    3. Soundgarden - July 2nd, Molson Amphitheatre, Toronto (my freaking birthday!)

    I could go so far as an all Matt Cameron top-7 with three more PJ shows and another Soundgarden. Discounting Pearl Jam I would have to think even harder about this list.
