    From someone who has them all. In order.

    Stand out:
    Grand Rapids (is better than Toronto 2 because of what happened there)
    Toronto 2

    Almost:
    Chicago 2
    Chicago 1
    Cleveland

    Lacking the most:
    Toronto 1

    The sitdown acoustic set - the "we're gonna experiment a little." - the happy birthday to Pete Townsend - the preset - the electricity in the building - the moving away from the setlist to play stuff "we haven't rehearsed."

    It was also the longest show of the tour so far.

    I wasn't at Toronto, but even just listening to the boots, GR stands out.

    I just added Chicago 2 and Grand Rapids this morning so I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet. Toronto 2 is great but the first encore for Grand Rapids is like a dream setlist for me. I'm sure that one will be in regular rotation.

    I was at both Toronto shows, Grand Rapids and Cleveland. GR is far and away the best of those four, and possibly of the entire tour so far.

    Part of "what happened" was the switcheroo with the 10 Club tickets. They moved low number fans (under 130,000) to the back of the system and gave other longtime members a chance to be closer. I think those of us who benefitted from this showed our appreciation to the band by giving off so much energy that it resulted in a killer, long show.

    Ummmmm, besides the most common answer of "longer is better" at a Pearl Jam concert.

    Other reasons could be PJ planned on making night 2 at Toronto epic - and then at GR they planned the old 2 1/2 hour show, but the electric crowd (yeah, after Even Flow he said "don't take this lightly, but you are turning into one hell of a crowd.") made them add songs to the setlist, thus making it epic.

    The funny thing is, Chicago 1 and 2 and Cleveland were pretty much sold out - and they couldn't even touch how loud the GR crowd was, and it was 1,500 shy of a sellout?!?!?!

    Toronto 2 was in my CD player non-stop and Chicago 2 was getting there, but after I went to GR and listened again, I am saying it is the best one so far.

    I have not downloaded the GR show yet, but T2 is better than any of the previous. Chicago 2 does have crown of Thorns though...

    Listening to GR right now on radio.blog and the crowd is amazing, only got to Even Flow but a stand out so far.

    Might end up being the 1 US show I buy (saving my money for the shows I will attend)

    i think looking at setlists and notes: Toronto 2, Chicago 2 and GR so far are getting the most rave reviews.. of course albany is a favorite of many so far, but the first three are ones I'm going to purchase.

    Heads=Grand Rapids and Tails=Albany. Flip a coin.
