Title says it..
Mine:
3: Berlin 2 2012.. The fact that we had seats in the nosebleeds and that no one else in our section were rocking out, and this still cracks my top 3 is kind of crazy.. But the setlist was just fantastic, the sound was crisp and the boys were super tight and focused all night..! I've had seats 4 times and this was the only time I was was able to completely lose myself and just rock out like I was in the pit..!
2: Krakow 2018. Sick setlist, tight as fuck performance, incredible sound in the tauron arena and my only time at the rail so far. My favorite versions of several songs. (Not for You, Porch, C.Numb come to mind) A handfull of songs into the show, you could tell this was not just any show. This was just a perfect night and I cannot wait for this boot!
1: Vienna 2014. The combination of the setlist, the performance, the sound, the crowd and the length of the show makes this my favorite experience so far. They opened with Long Road-Can't Keep-Black and as Black faded out, Ed mumbled "it'll be a good night" into the mic.. As they came back for the first encore, Ed told us how bad the place sounded at soundcheck, but how we had helped it sound great and "now it's one of the best nights"..
(My first show, Hamburg 2000, deserves a mention as well.. I had no clue what to expect at a PJ show and was completely mindblown..! It was a life changing event)
Your turn!

Alpine Valley 2003 - Perfect weather outside, Saturday in the summer....they came out early before it even got dark and it felt like they played forever. Just a great mix of songs and amazing versions. Plus we were 5th row dead center.
United Center May 2006 - Cheating and putting both these shows together. Best seats I've ever had, front row dead center both nights (before they started the lottery). Great opening band (My Morning Jacket) and completely different sets both nights. Most memorable was probably Crown of Thorns, had never heard that one live before.

Charlotte '96
Showbox '04

Sorry, I cheated and listed 4...I don't care to admit how long I debated Showbox (sheer excitement of being in a tiny club with PJ) and Charlottesville (which may have been the best setlist I've seen since the 90s) before realizing they were both earth shaking in their own ways.
2022: Berlin, Budapest, Krakow, Amsterdam II

2)Brooklyn 10/18/13-Got last minute ticket at box office, was right next to stage on Stone's side. Magical night.
