    Not sure I can tell you why exactly but I absolutely love the Jones Beach version. Just amazing.

    Yea I was at this show too. I remember everyone rushed to the stage. I got right up front. Little did I know that the poster I had in my hand that night that got crushed and ruined, would be worth over $500 one day. Haha

    Can this be narrowed down to one? Man...

    -Wash opening first show (Rochester 1994)
    -Random Hard to Imagine, which earned me a headbutt from my good friend (Knoxville 1998)
    -Ed stage-diving years after he stopped (Dublin 2000)
    -Dirty Frank (Gorge 2006)
    -Stone putting birthday cake on his head followed by Don't Gimmie No Lip (also Harvest Moon) (Portland 2006)

    But the winner, if there has to be one, was Crown of Thorns in Vegas. First time played, totally out of left field, and answered the one question my friend had locked and loaded if he ever met Ed. I still get massive chills every time I listen to the boot.

    The latest one has to be being up front in Hamilton '11. Throughout the night Ed & I were smiling & reacting back & forth through the show. Goosebumps galore I'll tell ya's. One moment Ed came down right up close to us. Looked at me & threw me his guitar pic. I suck at catching or must of been a gush of wind passed by but it went right to my brother who got it right on his left shoulder. No pic for me but I'm very happy for my bro. He's a big fan like myself. Maybe not on the collecting side but a huge fan of the music. :)

    My GREATEST PJ moment was when Ed personally handed me his pick (second song into the show) at the Fonda in 2006. Towards the end of the show, Mike leaned over and handed me one of his as well. AMAZING night that I will NEVER forget!!

    Best PJ moment was probably Ed jumping on the rails right in front of us during Alive, in Perth 2009.

    EV Solo, nothing beats getting up on stage with the labcoat choir for back-up vocals during Hard Sun. :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

    Shaking Ed's hand pre-show in Sydney last year was pretty fkn cool, especially for my 1st overseas PJ trip, although hearing LBC in Denmark a couple of weeks ago was UNBELIEVABLE & a chance/experience I doubt I'll ever get again! So many other fabulous moments in the recent Euro tour but I think that's pretty special. :)

    Hands down for me was Benaroya Hall. And out of all the amazing moments that night, the biggest was Black. Every time I hear it from that night I can visualize the moment and I still literately get goose bumps after the crowd sings along almost 9 years later.

    Friday - West Palm 03'
    Sat - House of Blues Orlando 03'
    Sunday - Tampa

    Best three days ever! House of Blues show was special due to the small venue appeal and I scored a last minute ticket for $40 as the show was starting, and it was raining, i was running to the doors,and I hollered out, WHO'S GOT TICKETS.

    Some kind girl, turn and sells it to me as we were running to the doors.

    Truly an epic weekend!

    Alpine Valley was incredible but I think my best moment would be Christchurch NZ 2009. My hubby and I had been through alot a couple of months before and it was just so amazing screaming out the lyrics to "Better Be Home Soon" and "I Got You" when Neil Finn came out. It was freezing cold and raining but neither one of us even noticed, just an amazing vibe at that concert. :D
