Now that the Euro tour has started, what is the best show so far? I am looking to download a show or two but wanted some opinions. Thanks, Dan

    I've heard 3 shows so far.

    Dublin: biased, I was there. Fantastic!
    Leeds: really fantastic. Underrated.
    Antwerp: as biased as it gets. THE show where I've been waiting for for so long.

    Dublin - Amazing show, great energy, very loud crowd, probably the loudest since South America last year.

    Reading - Great set, great performance

    Arnhem - Great show, the band are in high spirits, and it shows.

    I went to three shows and in my opinion Reading was the best.
    Great setlist and great sound.
    Dublin was also very good but i think the former nicked it.

    Def Lisbon 2.I was there and travelled from the west of Ireland.I only spent 2 days in lisbon and didn't sleep in 2 days but it was all good.The setlist was incredible and the audience was the best audience i have ever had the privilege to be with.
  • sj.brodiesj.brodie Posts: 468
    Athens will be the best!!
  • JaymacJaymac Posts: 513
    heh...

    Marseille by a mile (so far)

    I predict special things for Verona and Athens :)

    ok - well I have been to Reading, Barcelona (both incredible) and Marseille. Out of those I would say Marseille nicked it - brilliant setlist and great acoustics. Eds voice SOARS man! Good energy from the crowd too.

    However, from what I have read both Lisbon shows seem to be strong contenders too. Simple - Im gonna buy Lisbon 2, Marseille and Barcelona (Reading is everywhere on the net so no need for that)

    Pretty special set last night. Really glad I made my way there, also my first 10c gig which was great to be so close. Although venue was a lot smaller than I thought.

    Highlights of the night had to be Fatal, Dirty Frank & Fuckin Up. Cant wait for Athens!

    See you all there

    You had a special night last night. I love seeing bands in small venues. To me it makes the show more personal.

    Marseille...excellent setlist
  • PegasusPegasus Posts: 3,754
    Reading because..well you've all seen why..
    otherwise Lisbon..2 for the setlist but I kind of enjoyed 1 more.

    nobody is allowed to mention Marseille to me...that town does not exist as far as I'm concerned.. :cry:
  • AngusAngus Posts: 376
    From the ones I've been to:

    1. Dublin
    2. Marseille
    3. Antwerp (although it was the definitely the most special one to me)
    4. Paris

    yes, I rank Dublin higher than Marseille.

    From the ones I went

    Antwerp
    Dublin


    But Marseille does have a stellar setlist (wasn't there)
    And Reading got Crown of thorns!!
    Arnhem had a brilliant Betterman and many highlights too
    Barcelona was pretty rocking
    y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?
  • negationistnegationist Posts: 237
    and my order of preference is:
    1) Marseille
    2) Dublin
    3) Paris

    Marseille just about nicks it coz it was a brilliant setlist, the band were really on form even if they did fuck up the odd time and the crowd was brilliant. Will definitely get the bootleg for those 3 shows!!!
    If Pearl Jam was a beer, they'd probably be the best beer in the world!!

    Dublin for me, but have to admit the Marseille setlist nearly knocked me out of my seat. I couldn't believe they played probably all but one of my ten favourite PJ songs.

    Dublin seems to be in everyone's top 2 or 3. A wonderful night really.
    Put the garbage in the garbage can... I can't stress that enough.

    I guess the best thing for you to do is check the set lists for each show and make a decision on the concert that has played most your favourite songs. I have been to Barcelona and Paris so far but think Marseille looks a much better concert in terms of what they played, but thats just a personal thing.
