This is what listening to any of these shows is like:
Welcoming any suggestions and I can add to the list. Looking for the best of the best.
You've created a pretty sweet list as is. Pretty much any show from back then was mind blowing. I've been on a big 2013-2014 kick lately, so all I could suggest are more shows from that era. Vancouver, Lincoln, Memphis, etc. I have been mixing in some Canadian shows from 2005 and every one of those have been really good as well. A trip to Canada to see PJ is now a Bucket List top priority!

Pretty good list of shows. I would at least add the 2nd Red Rocks 1995 show.
1993 - Dallas ~~~ 1995 - Red Rocks I & II | Austin ~~~ 1998 - St Louis | Kansas City | Dallas | Raleigh | Atlanta | Birmingham | Greenville | Knoxville | Virginia Beach ~~~ 2000 - New Orleans | Memphis | Nashville | Noblesville | Cincinnati | Columbus | Houston I & II | Dallas | Las Vegas | LA | San Diego | San Bernardino | Sacramento | San Francisco ~~~ 2003 - OKC | San Antonio | Houston | Dallas | Little Rock | Camden I & II | MSG I & II ~~~ 2004 - Boston I & II | St Louis ~~~ 2005 - Gorge | Vancouver | Kitchener | London | Hamilton ~~~ 2006 - Las Vegas | Gorge I & II | Honolulu ~~~ 2008 - MSG I & II ~~~ 2009 - Seattle I & II | Vancouver | Portland | ACL | Philly I-IV ~~~ 2010 - Kansas City | St Louis ~~~ 2011 - PJ20 I & II ~~~ 2013 - Wrigley | Dallas | OKC ~~~ 2014 - ACL I | Tulsa | Moline | St Paul | Milwaukee | Denver ~~~ 2022 - OKC ~~~ 2023 - FW I & II | Austin I & II ~~~ 2024 - Seattle I & II [80]
I've attended 6 of these shows. Cool to see you put Ottawa 2005 on the list...I've always thought that to be one of the most underrated shows in their career.
The thing I don't understand is, since you say a max of six shows per year, why certain years don't have AT LEAST six shows.. For example 1993.. only 4 shows.. one of them is 1993/07/17.. Why you specifically chose this one? Only a pretty mediocre sounding AUD source is out there (the FM source is NOT a mix of these two nights, as believed by many, just excerpts from 1993/07/16).. Like mentioned, there are far better sounding sources from that year (that can be better judged for this reason).. for example slim's cafe 93, the three Seattle shows, the New Orleans shows.. did you give these a good listen? (just a hint)

Here's why: 28 years and over 1000 shows. I've admitted here before and will continue to say that pre-98 is not my specialty.
Im happy you clarified 7/17/93 though. I was hesitant to include that and added it at the last second. I'll remove it in the update. I remember slims cafe sounding good but hadn't listened in a long while- I'll revisit.
no problem.. I also specifically suggest (if you haven't listened to it already) Seattle 1993/12/08.. really, not only an excellent recording, but an amazing show.. the best of that three nights run (not that the other two are bad, but that second night is something special)
If you are used to torrents, you should find them (at least most of them) in trackers like Zomb, the traders den, dime ecc.. if you don't care about quality, you can always stream/download them on pearljambootlegs.org (but lossless/Flac vs lossy mp3 160kbps isn't comparable imo)

Thanks I feel like I heard it a long time ago. It forgot. I'll check it out again.
Thanks everyone for your feedback and keep it coming. This is a fun project. Especially since PJ seem to be on a break and there's not much to talk about.
Love the list. Fantastic work. But two shows I'd argue for:
2012 - Missoula. Playing in front of all of Jeff's friends in a 6,000 seat arena.
2013 - I was at Seattle show and while it was good, I was one of those that left disappointed because I had been at the show in Spokane a week earlier. The building was nuts being the first show in Spokane in 20 years. The setlist was written by band-friend Steve Gleason. Was a remarkable night.
