    After seeing the band for over 20 years, I'd say say Hell NO.It was a great show, but doesn't even get close in breaking the top 20.

    No I can't at this time. I hate "lists"...they're all so subjective or based on sales. So whatever show I say is in the top 20 it's bullshit, it's only what I feel....but some shows are CLEARLY better than others.

    BTW, to the person who has seen 86 shows, I stopped counting after 100....seen them in 18 states and 26 countries since 1994. Definitely, not the best ever. But it sounds like it was the best show of the tour so far. I should say that a great PJ show entails great energy (from both the band and the crowd), a great setlist, and the X factor

    I'm so fired up.

    There's no way I would ever suggest a show I wasn't at was better than a show I was at... unless you get food poisoning like I did at the Police.

    I pretended for the longest time that I had a great time... but ultimately, I admitted that the experience wasn't as great as it could have been.

    It is pretty hard to determine. Most people aren't at all the shows. You end up having people argue for the best ones they've seen.

    Mansfield (The one with the acoustic set) in 2003, Gorge 05, Solder Field '95, Last night at the Spectrum, and a few others tend to pop up at the top of people's list.

    Kind of hard to tell though. It's pretty subjective.

    I can say that Santa Barbara 03 was the greatest show no one knows about.

    I agree, so my greatest was Buffalo last week and my real favourite is TBD by this logic
