for a couple years now i have been reading posts from people who attended this show......and they always say it was one of the best shows ever....

i finally listened to this show yesterday....

and you people are absolutley correct....

BUFFALO 2003 could very well be PEARL JAM at its very best......

what a kick ass show....

    I had 11th row Mike's side. Other than being at Toledo in 2004 (which was unique and can't fairly be compared), 03 Buffalo was the best one i've been to.

    I have both these boots. If I ever knew they were back to back, I'd forgotten.

    That is simply stunning.

    I had to choose one of those 2 shows. I couldn't go to both. I ended up picking Buffalo. I'm so glad that was the show I picked. The only other show that comes close to holding a match to that show was Boston 2 on this tour.

    Well, I'm not very religious, so I'm not big on masses.

    I was at BOTH State College and Buffalo. And while Buffalo was an amazing show. State College was simply the best ever. I've seen a lot of great shows in my day, Buffalo isn't even top 5. By the end of this summer, with a trip to the gorge coming, it probably won't even be top 10.

    2. Boston 3 2003
    3. Borgata
    4. Wachovia 2005
