    The Gorge 2005?

    I've been to 31 shows.  It's my absolute favourite of them all.

    I also refer to the Vancouver show the next night has the gorge hangover show.   The magic flowed into the Vancouver show too :)
    Gorge 05 is top 2 for me. I was at that Vancouver show the next night. They were on fire. I still remember Blood to close the main set

    I have to revisit the boot for East Rutherford 2 2006.  Maybe I have underestimated that show.  Thanks for the motivator.

    This is def top 5-7 of 2003 for me behind the last 2 Japan shows, Buffalo, St Louis, and a couple of the Great Woods shows. Love how the main set is a couple from each album in chronological order.  It’s fun to look back and see how creative they got with setlists when the tours were longer and they were much tighter.
    "What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."

    That's a great show!  If I remember correctly, that was the first show for @FrankieG

    As someone who was at both, 8/20/16 at Wrigley was way better than 8/22/16. 
    Nope. Night two was better by a landslide

    That's the beauty of the band- they have so many amazing shows to start these discussions.  I'm always concerned when this thread is pushed to the front page that someone will be insulted their favorite show isn't included.... hell some of my own favorite shows aren't included! :lol:

    The marriage proposal on stage with Just Breathe on 8/20 was enough in itself to downgrade the show a notch.  They remembered they were a band that goes out and kicks ass on 8/22.

    It’s on the list!

     would add Missoula 2012, pretty slim year for shows on your list
