I'm a little jealous of #4 & #7

Yeah, the vibe at those '95 shows was so much different than '98 or anything beyond that point. I'm surprised how few '95 and earlier shows I see on these lists. Maybe all those fans jumped ship between No Code and Binaural or something. Or maybe I'm just getting old. I wish I could have seen them in '92, those shows looked amazing from the videos I've seen over the years. Some of those versions of Porch and Alive I've seen are just incredible.

If I could go back and see a leg of shows those 1995 western US shows would be it. Those old boots are incredible, such fire from the band. Not far behind would be the 1992 European club shows.

I am at 74 shows. Here is my top 5 and least favorite shows as I can't remember enough to rank others.

Top 5:
Seattle 2 - 2000. If they would have served alcohol at the show I may have found Jesus that night. I remember RVM as 4th song and knew it could be special.
NY 2 - 2003. Was incredible.
Toronto 1 - 2011. Band tight and Uncle Neil coming out was awesome.
PJ 20 2 - 2011. Was great celebration night.
Wrigley Field - 2013

I won't count Bridge Shows cause I know what I am getting with short set. My least favorite would probably be Fargo in 2003 (Ed was sick).

@mcgruff10 where do either of the two last weeks MSG shows rank for you?

The first set at MSG 1 was the best set I ve ever witnessed in my life by any band. It was just pure bliss. Every song was just in your face an perfect. In hiding and I got shit were my highlights.
I m not sure if msg 1 would be in my top ten but damn it was close.
Msg2 was just ok for me. Good show but not mind boggling in any way.

I concur on all points. The only changes I would MAYBE make to the first set was switch DTE with Not For You and Mind Your Manners with Spin the Black Circle...other than that it was perfect. Had they done that I probs would have shit my pants tbh.

Some killer lists - I've just gone through 50 shows too. If I get time, I'll do the full breakdown, but off the top of my head, top shows for me are:

MSG night 2, 2010
Shepherds Bush, 2009
Leeds, 2014
Adelaide, 2009
Toronto night 1, 2011

Right at the bottom has to be Hyde Park, 2010.
