    Wish I had attended that Calgary show. Did Portland, Spokane, Vancouver & Seattle that year. Decided to spend a few days back in Seattle so I turned down Calgary. D'oh!

    Vancouver 2013 and Pemberton 2016 were both over the top amazing.   Easily some of the best show's I've seen.  I spin that Pemberton boot the most out of any shows I've been too.

    4-26-03 Pittsburgh is a really good show that is overlooked. A week before State College. High energy, probably my favorite "Immortality" 
    Amazing bootleg and show! And the Live on 4 Legs podcast review of the show is awesome too!

    As someone who was at both, 8/20/16 at Wrigley was way better than 8/22/16.

    3/29/94 should be on any PJ best of list. It’s a perfect show and the Porch is better than ATL 94 imo.

    I paid a mint for a bootleg of the ‘94 ATL show back in ‘94 … still one of my favorite and most-played shows. Looking forward to checking out some others from this list!

    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 :)

    Another great show.  I know Future Days gets a lot of hate around here, but it's our wedding song and this show was the only time me and my wife heard it together!

    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.
