    You'll get a lot of differing opinions on this! Out of the boots I've heard, some of my favorites are:

    4/3/94, 9/29/96, 6/16/2000, 7/11/2003 (worth it for the pre-set alone), 10/22/2003, 7/7/2006, 8/2/2007

    There are many others, but this is a good starting place.
    '03 - San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Benaroya
    '05 - Monterrey
    '06 - Chicago I and II, Grand Rapids, Cleveland, Detroit
    '08 - WPB, Tampa

    That is the one! The recording is awsome and the boys are at the top of their game!

    september of 96 from downing stadium is the best concert i have ever seen, hands down not even close! i don't care what anybody say's 38 songs, 5 hours in the rain!!! i dare anybody to top that..and i saw metallica and guns at giants stadium and pj blew them away. i have seen many metallica concerts actually and they were amazing too but that 96 show was just plain stupid.

    Also I like 7/14/2003 Holmdel, NJ

    It's the last US stop for PJ and the first 16 songs are done in time order - plus some cool covers later (although I'd rather no SK) - Hunger Strike also makes its return.
    My lips are shaking.......

    Its fantastic......I agree with most of your list. I was at all the Seattle shows and the Gorge shows as well.

    The State College show was good for the length of time they played although the band sounded bad a few times.

    Katowice 2 is unreal. Nice choice. I'd like to add Randall's Island 2 96, MSG 2 98 and Buffalo 03 to the mix.

    I don't know I think a lot of the best shows follow how I heard them the first time which were major boots.

    So yeah you have 4/3/04 for sure! the unedited boot is amazing.

    Then I think you have to go back to Pearl. I must have listened to that 1000 times.
    That was 3-2-92 in den haag.

    soldier field
    7-11-95

    Then there was the first australian boot from 1995
    3-17-95 melbourne with dave grohl on drums for RITFW

    And the whole radio FM boots too.

    Sorry if I'm dating myself, but these were what we clinged to before the official boots.

    Don't get me wrong, I traded for 100s of cassettes (ha!) and DATs back in the day too but some of these blackmarket boots were pivotal. And yes I copied them a few hundred times too.
    30+ Shows over 15 years
