    Out of the European shows for me Arnhem, Antwerp and Vienna were the most memorable!!! But I am sure I wouldn't have been disappointed by any other...Ooohh I wish I had seen them only once once once silly once more:D!!!

    Very difficult to decide!

    Went to Verona, Milano and Pistoia... all special in different ways and for different reasons... yeah, can't really pick one! :D

    Fantastic shows all of them!

    No one said that the shows they've been to were bad.

    So they were all pretty fantastic.

    That's why you just have to choose regarding the setlist imo.

    Even myself, I can't choose between Paris & Marseille... Both are so different but both are fantastic...

    of the whole tour: either Dublin or Marseille.

    out of the shows i went to: Pistoia or Bern. maybe leaning towards the latter.

    Yeh, Bern was (relatively) short but was an amazing set.

    ok lets try another question....if you have either gone to or bought the bootlegs to more than a couple shows....which was better? help us narrow down which to buy....

    obviously the show with the whole new record and tremor christ played is a must....

    but i have not heard any except the reading webcast....
    Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    To find an approach and a way to live
    Are we getting something out of this
    all-encompassing trip?

    I have every bootleg, went to 5 shows.

    NOT including the shows i went to, i recommend:

    Dublin
    Bern
    Torino
    Pistoia
    Vienna

    Of the 5 i went to, i recommend Lisbon II and Milan. Although Verona from Inside Job onwards is spectacular.

    been to Milan and Verona, listened to Dublin.

    Even I could not choose between the SHOWS in Verona and Milan, the Milan boot is more fun to listen to because you hear the crowd better.

    Milan wins over Dublin, too
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    agreed!
    i can never choose a *best*.....and it's all so subjective in any case. i LOVED each and every show i saw in italy, each for different reasons...and yea, it's pearl jam...so they are all great!
    Stay with me...

    I'm torn between Bern and Torino. Both were great for different reasons. I think Bern had the overall better setlist. I was at the Verona show and would agree that it wasn't too spectacular at all really. And the crowd was awful. Milan's crowd blew Verona's away.

    I went to 3, Marseille, Paris and Dublin and I think Marseille was the best in terms of the setlist, but Dublin just edges it in terms of energy and crowd. But all three were brilliant either ways.
    If Pearl Jam was a beer, they'd probably be the best beer in the world!!

    Pistoia

    The band was FLAWLESS!! There was only 9,000 in attendence but they sound fuckin great...the guitar tones are just perfect...Ed's voice is the best I've heard it since 98...

    Not For You, 1/2 Full, Black, Spin The Black Circle, and State of Love and Trust are all the best versions I have ever heard, personally my favorites...they played STELLAR versions of Last Exit, Dissident, and Porch...plus Breath came back!! :D

    The longest show of the Euro tour...32 songs! :eek:

    My other favorite is Milano...best version of Daughter from that show...crowd is absolutely INSANE!! :D

    My vote goes to Zagreb.

    Band was excellent, Ed was in great mood, the audience was loud, wild and you could feel energy and emotions in the air.
