Didnt go to any shows so no bias here
1. Philly 2
After that every Canadian show0 -
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 50 -

Can only speak on shows I saw....Philly 2 and Quebec for me0
-
You can make a good case for any 1 of 6 or 7 of these shows to be the 'best" really. Good run of sh0ws0
-
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:)0

Of the shows I saw...
1. Toronto 1 (Binaural show)

Raleigh was off the chain"Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit."0

Without listening to all 2016 boots at this point, I can only say out of the 4 I saw. I loved all four almost equally but to rank them:
1 Columbia & Hampton (tied)
2 Greenville
3 Lexington
Hampton was vastly overlooked in my opinion; thoroughly phenomenal show. It was emotionally powerful, great performance, and well varied setlist with a good balance between rare gems and potent hits.Post edited by TamaDrummer91 on2008: Bonnaroo
2010: Bristow
2012: Atlanta
2013: Charlottesville, Charlotte
2014: Cincinnati
2016: Greenville, Hampton, Raleigh (cancelled), Columbia, Lexington

MSG1 because it was NY and the crowd was amazing. They sounded like it was the 90s again freakin incredible.Post edited by adamg5 on0

For me, Hampton was ruined by the Raleigh announcement. They played my white whale Habit, and still, I say it was the worst vibe I've ever gotten at a PJ show, because you could tell everyone was still in shock about the Raleigh announcement during the show.TamaDrummer91 said:Without listening to all 2016 boots at this point, I can only say out of the 4 I saw.

I attended both Toronto shows and I can't pick..... I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the bootlegs..... the band was incredible both nights + I've always liked the Binaural album (with the exception of Nothing As It Seems).0

Went to Greenville with my wife, had a blast! Got to check a few songs off my list hearing VS top to bottom, Blood and Indifference. Took my son to Lexington, cool setlist! Only his second show and he got to hear gems like Satan's Bed, Education, Army Reserve along with Thumbing and a kickass version of Leavin Here!!!0

Philly night 1 because it's the only show I attended this tour....plus LBC and Crazy Mary0

I still think after 56 shows that first set at msg 1 was the greatest I've ever seen.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0
