Six, separated by the thickness of a piece of paper.
London
Wrigley
Spokane
Calgary
Vancouver
Seattle
Honestly, it'd be difficult to choose one over the rest. I'll probably say Seattle, because it was a lifelong dream of mine to see Pearl Jam there, but all six shows were phenomenal.Minneapolis 1998 | Jones Beach I & II, Montreal, and Toronto 2000 | Buffalo, State College, Toronto, Montreal and Hershey 2003 | Boston I & II 2004 | Thunder Bay, Kitchener, London, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto 2005 | Toronto I & II 2006 | The Vic and Lollapalooza 2007 | Calgary and Toronto 2009 | PJ20 I & II, Toronto I & II, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton 2011 | London, Chicago, Spokane, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle 2013 | Ottawa and Toronto I & II 2016 | Chicago I & II 2018 | Ottawa, Hamilton and Toronto 2022 | Philadelphia I & II 20240 -

All shows were great but Buffalo was the best because it was my first time in GA and I met some awesome people
Ditto. Love the pit.Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.0 -

I went to Wrigley and Vancouver. Wrigley and Chicago was a crazy experience that will never be forgotten or underappreciated, and all the people i met of course made the whole trip special, but if we're just talking actual shows and crowd and band energy and set lists, Vancouver blew Wrigley out of the water for me! Loved the Wrigley setlist, and the Release opener was the single best moment out of the two shows, but i liked the Vancouver setlist way better overall. Didn't hurt that i was 8 feet from Eddie in Vancouver and probably 500 feet from him at Wrigley.
It also didn't hurt that the Vancouver crowd was incredible (and not up way past its bedtime
There were literally some people asleep in their seats at Wrigley as 2am neared :fp: ... But I will never forget how cool and totally surreal it was to be at Wrigley Field under a post-storm sky and a big ass moon seeing a Pearl Jam concert in the middle of the night!). The people around me in the Vancouver pit were super into it, the band was in as good a mood as they ever get, and i was finally at a show when i didn't have either the flu or heat stroke, so i could go absolutely bananas on the floor in Vancouver!
I just felt so fucking GOOD inside and out at the Vancouver show! Plus, we got It's Okay. Yay. 8-)
I still miss Chicago though.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
My five in order:
Hartford
Philly 2
Brooklyn 2
Brooklyn 1
Philly 1 (which was still a blast!!!)Go Get 'Em Tigers!0 -
I saw
Wrigley ( the first 9 songs)
Pitt
Dallas
OKC
Seattle
a lot of repeats.
Probably give Pitt or Dallas the lean for best. Wrigley was awesome for those 9 songs, then went to shit.0 -
Four shows. My order for one and two has changed a bunch of times. They really are 1 and 1a.
1) Worcester 1
1a) Hartford
3) Wrigley
4) Worcester 2
If they played the full show they had planned Wrigley would have blown everything else away...and that is no knock on everything else. Not really fair to compare.___________________________________________

Philly 2 (in GA about 10 people back between Stone and Eddie, tough to beat)
Wrigley
Philly 1
Wrigely was its own special experiance, but loved being in GA in Philly. I actually had 10C reserve seats, and traded with a fellow member whose pregnant friend wanted a seat, rahter than standing in GA. They ended up with great seats, and me and my freind in the pit - win/win.0 -
3 shows
Brooklyn 20 -
6 shows. Here they are if I had to rank them. Can't wait for the next tour.
LA1 - the crowd was frisky, one got kicked out, one ran on stage.
Phoenix - had GA tickets. Eddie seemed like he wanted to prove PJ was still the **** at the beginning of the show. As he drank more wine he softened up.
Wrigley - a long fun day.
San Diego - a great night.
Oakland - GA tickets. I really enjoyed hearing Light Years.
Seattle - I had crappy tickets, but it was still great. Seattle is a fun town, aside from it being freezing!0 -
3 shows total.....All three had a different 'feel' to them.
San Diego, LA1 & LA2.
SD and LA1 are neck&neck in my personal rankings.
San Diego had a family feel to it...very intimate/around the camp fire feeling. Eddie's Mom, Mike's Dad, Matt's son+drum teacher from school...they were all there. The band was having a great time, and it extended outward toward's the crowd.
LA1: 'Danced' my ass off for 3 straight hours....would say this crowd had more traditional concert energy than San Diego had....Saturday night show, lots of pre-drinking going down. I had just enough to enjoy the concert and recall everything I saw/heard. Spin the Black Circle into RVM had me jumping!! Starting off with Pendulum/Release/Long Road...and Garden 1/2 way through the 1st set...amazing. Best LA show i've seen.
LA2: Sunday show....much more subdued compared to Saturday. Not bad though....best poster of the 3 shows. Oceans, Blood, Breath & MOTHER were highlights.
These boots can't come quick enough for these shows!
Thanks PJ for a great experience.
