    Bonner Springs. That is something I will never forget. I'd just lost my grandpa a few weeks before and took the lightning that went across the sky as him checking in on me, and then Ed said "Hi dad" as I'm thinking that very thing. It's a good thing it was pouring because I was a sobbing mess.

    That is an amazing story. Thank you.

    Calgary 2011 sounded great.
    Not like the previous others didn't but this one was fine.

    I tend to like the ones from older bootlegs. Atlanta '94 and Melbourne '98 stick out to me.

    I can't pick one and a lot of my favourites are already listed above. One that stands out to me every time I hear it is the Toronto '06 version.

    Don't know the best, but my favourite was the opener at the O2 London in 2009.
    Definitely the one I cried during the most if that helps make your mind up!

    PJ20 was my favorite sing-a-long but 4/29/16 to end Ten is my all time favorite.

    ^^^^ love the pitch change on the last "release me" from pj 20 / Verona? But man seeing that cap off ten let alone the clear emotion he showed...doesn't get much better

    Yes. Me, too. I've been to "only" six shows so I guess I can't complain that much at this point.

    Verona '06 and Philly II are the shows that seem to have unanimous agreeance from people that were in the crowd. And I can speak for Verona - wow.

    Absolutely, thought it was stunning, especially when the crowd went up an octave. Put me on the verge of tears but for some reason Corduroy was the one that tipped me over the edge that night. Grown men crying, what are we like :)

    Milan was a good one. The version at PJ20 was good but not great. I don't think the venue or the crowd helped. Everything seemed really restrained in comparison to the usual European/South American carnage.
