Well, my top 2 would be Wrigley II 2016 and Baltimore 2013. Wrigley left me on an incredible high note that I'm still riding and Baltimore just flat out rocked that night!
It gets a little tricky picking a third for a top 3. Way too many good ones to choose from - could be any of Pittsburgh 2000 (my 1st show), State College 2003 (longest show ever at the time), Wrigley I 2016 (it's Wrigley, c'mon), Cleveland 2006 (just a great energy that night), Charlottseville 2013 (amazing setlist), or St. Paul 2014 (my first GA show).
Philly is a great place for a tailgate! I think we got to that show at like 10am because they were distributing the tickets in blocks and the earlier you got there the better your seats

Can confirm. I thought the place was about to fall down.

Went to all four shows. I fell ill on the off day, rest of the family got sick November 1st. I think someone in the box office was spreading the plague, since I picked up all of the tickets.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

1. Thunder Bay 2005. My first (and I'd imagine only) hometown Pearl Jam show. I grew up in that building; seeing "MY BAND" was more special than I think I'll ever be able to articulate. 2. Buffalo 2003. Sat in the car for five minutes afterwards, comatose. It was the "best" concert I've ever seen. 3. Toronto II 2006. Best crowd I've been in for a Pearl Jam show. Left the building wanting to run forever. Honourable mentions...eesh, State College, Ottawa 2005, PJ20 night one, Toronto I 2011, Calgary 2013. Here's to many more!
