Which 2016 concert do you feel was best and why?

Hoccapuk · May 2016

For me it was Columbia, getting chole/crown and rise was amazing and it was only my second GA show ever!! Such a great night.

Philly 2
The emotion in that room during 10 was unmatched. Plus the set didn't suck after the album like Greenville.

The set after VS wasn't terrible, but I agree.......Philly 2 had so much love in that room. Ten took that crowd to places few have been. They could have played anything after that and the crowd would have been in to it. It wasn't the rarest set, but by starting with ten it changed the set's makeup entirely. No porch to close an encore. No alive in the second encore. The hardcore fans were given an unpredictable treat, which was really nice. It was amazing.

Toronto 1 and MSG1 get honorable mentions.

PearlJamVS · May 2016

Either Toronto show.

I was a little harsh. It wasn't great after vs to follow with 4 LB tunes in a row. And honestly, it's hard to follow VS or Ten in sequence but I feel they did a better job in Philly. I'll never forget when Alive started. Loudest ovation ever because it fully confirmed what was happening.

Best set goes to Quebec and it wasn't even close in my opinion. Best overall feel of the show from start to finish goes to TO 2. The way this show kept building was spectacular and the crowd fed off it perfectly.

dimitrispearljam · May 2016

JAX for multiple reasons
From shows i wasnt there..quebec and toronto 1

Flamery · May 2016

Greenville, the album show was unexpected then, and the energy was insane

Green Disease Redux · May 2016

Went to 5 shows (Greenville,Hampton,Columbia,toronto1 and 2)

All were great shows, but I love binaural so I have to give it to Toronto 1. It took big balls to play that album in full and they killed it, so happy to have been lucky enough to catch it.

buck502000 · May 2016

every night the shows just got better and better - I think for me, the Toronto shows would have been sweet to be at.

Completely agree. And then Columbia second, got to cross off a lot on my wish list.

Torontonian · May 2016

Hard to say unless you went to them all! But think Toronto 1 and 2 were very special. I watched the Quebec show on Periscope. That setlist probably takes the cake but I think the crowd and flow of Toronto 2 wins.

3days · May 2016

Philly 2 looked like a dream show for my money: Full 10, Breakerfall, Throw Your Hatred Down, Who You Are, All or None, Bee Girl, Sonic Reducer, Leash, Comfortably Numb... I'm jealous of all in attendance.

Great, great setlists all the way around! Can't wait to see how the remaining shows unfold.

RiotZact · May 2016

I'm really jealous of the Toronto 1 Binaural show and Quebec, but I honestly don't think I could trade Philly 2 for either of them. Like others have said it created an indescribable atmosphere when they played Ten and the setlist didn't disappoint at all after that. Breakerfall (a top 10 song for me and the first time I've got it), All or None sounded amazing live, C. Numb and all 3 covers to close the show were awesome. I'm also a sucker for the LTRP/STBC combo.

FrankieG · May 2016

The obvious answer is the ones I was at... at out of those it was Philly 2.
Picking out of the shows I did not attend, Jax, Greenville, or Ottawa.

SVRDhand13 · May 2016

Top 5 setlists only for me: Tampa, Jax, Greenville, philly 2, Toronto 1.

leekstokie · May 2016

Philly 2. The energy and emotion in that room was incredible. The speech by Ed before and the crowd during Release is a moment i'll never forget.

MayDay10 · May 2016

Ill take toronto 1, followed by quebec city, philly 2, columbia, toronto 2, msg 1

SputNick · May 2016

Toronto 1 !!!!! Then Quebec
because of the setlists

Sarava · May 2016

I was at 3...Lexington and the 2 MSG shows. I'd rate Lexington as the best of those 3. Mostly because the band's energy was through the roof in Kentucky. They might have been tired in New York, with them coming at the end of 4 shows in 5 days. They just didn't feel like they were on fire as much.

Based on what I've seen or heard from other shows I wasn't at, I might pick Quebec as the one show I most wish I had gone to.

Air23 · May 2016

Philly 2 and Toronto 1

cincybearcat · May 2016

I went to Greenville, Hampton, and Columbia.

If rank them:

1) Greenville
2) Columbia
3) Hampton

Weston1283 · May 2016

Of the ones I was at:

Philly 2 (best time I have ever had at a PJ show)
Greenville
Lexington
Toronto 2
Miami
Columbia
Jacksonville
Ft. Lauderdale
MSG 2
Hampton

And this rank is not based on setlist entirely, more of the entire experience and the energy/how it felt being in the arena that night

cp3iverson · May 2016

Didnt go to any shows so no bias here
1. Philly 2
After that every Canadian show

Big Bank Hank · May 2016

1.Quebec City
2.Toronto I
3.Greenville
4.Philly II
5.Columbia

Having said that, there were far more than 5 great shows and it becomes very subjective, but if they choose not to offer a 2016 box set, and I can only buy 5 bootlegs, those would be the 5

Those are my top five shows also. Different order for me
1. Columbia
2. Philadelphia 2
3. Toronto 1
4. Greenville
5. Quebec City

All are great shows

gotthebottle · May 2016

Can only speak on shows I saw....Philly 2 and Quebec for me

MayDay10 · May 2016

You can make a good case for any 1 of 6 or 7 of these shows to be the 'best" really. Good run of sh0ws

jmug23 · May 2016

Obviously Completely subjective, but Greenville with out a doubt. VS, first time in band history. First time of tour so no one was expecting it, unlike the other two album shows. Set list was amazing. Best PJ show I've ever attended and I've been to a lot:)

bigguybigeye · May 2016

Of the shows I saw...
1. Toronto 1 (Binaural show)
2. Quebec City
3. Ottawa
For me 1 and 2 could be switched but Binaural gave Toronto 1 the edge.

Comatose Pilate · May 2016
