    LA1. This performance is inspired. Mike's solo on "Black" just crushes...

    OKC is a great one. I may be biased cause I was there, but it had some great songs and the boot sounds really good.

    That totally depends on your own personal taste. Do your research and see which setlist looks best to you.

    I was at Baltimore too! Great show. Maybe grab that since u were there. I mean shit, they played Habit . . .

    I have my eye on Leeds too (and Vienna when it gets released).

    I like the Euro ones so far that we have heard. Thought Phoenix was among the remarkable shows from last year.

    Here's the best solution. Print out the tour dates of Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt 2013 & 2014 show's. Now stick that sheet of paper on the wall. Cover your eyes and pick up a dark. Don't have a dart? Then pick up a kitchen knife. Just make sure no one else is in the room. lol Whatever show the dart, or kitchen knife, lands, purchase that show. I'm sure you will be happy with whatever you scored. :)

    Worcester shows were amazing. Brooklyn 2 with Wash opener was incredible. Charlotte has the best performed Present Tense I've heard but a weaker setlist but they were on. Charlottesville is overrated IMO. Good setlist. But there were some castasrophes (i.e.: Grievance)

    But if I had to pick just ONE show, it would be LA 1.
    West Palm Beach 1998 (2nights) 2000 (2 nights) ,2003,2008 Tampa 2000 Atlanta 1994, 2000, 2012 Philly 2012

    San Diego 2013

    I was at SD and both LA shows. All three were awesome, but SD had a uniquely intimate family feel to it. Ed had his mom there for tremor Christ sakes and said some really heartfelt things. Go with SD Nov 2013.

    I suppose I am biased, but Vancouver really is an entertaining boot. Eddie was in a particularly good mood.

    Prague Krakow Berlin 2018. Berlin 2022
    EV, Taormina 1+2 2017.

    I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..

    Hartford had SO much emotion.
  • WhatYouTaughtMeWhatYouTaughtMe Posts: 4,957
    I've posted on similar threads and my answer probably changes but Phoenix, OKC, Vancouver, Hartford, Vienna, Milan, Leeds are all pretty solid. I haven't heard the big day out shows though. Could be some good ones there.
  • kce8kce8 Posts: 1,636
    What about Oslo now?
    Can someone tell me how the Bootleg sounds, please? And Ed´s voice ?
    Thought this one was some special, so isn´t it a little bit curious noone mentioned it here?
