Help picking two bootlegs?

pakoh

Hey. Some kind help? I've been kind of out of the loop on PJ shows the last few years, and while I've remained a 10C member (for now?), I haven't been redeeming my download codes. Just went back and used most to get digital versions of Vaults (don't know why they can't include a voucher with the vinyl...), and a few other shows I've wanted for a while, and I have just TWO left over. 

A few considerations:

-I don't have anything after 2011 (it's been a while), besides Live At Missoula '12.

-I don't have any "full album" shows, and thought it would be cool
-Maybe one full album, one other?

I've been looking and narrowed it down to these:

-Charlottesville '13

-Telluride '16

-Chicago 2 '16 (not sure since thinking of getting Let's Play Twoo vinyl... voucher?)

-Moline '14 (full No Code)

-Milwaukee '14 (full Yield)

-Toronto '16 (Binaural)

Help me pick? Of course, I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks!!

I have all of those except Telluride.  Wrigley 2 is incredible!  Keep in mind Let's Play Two is a compilation of both nights, so you wouldn't be getting too many repeats if you bought both. The flow of each is different as well.  Charlottesville is special. Rock out for a while, a nice somber midset, and some anthems to end the night.  A lot of really good Ed banter as well.  As for the full album shows, I think I like Toronto the most, despite Yield being my favorite album.  A great set outside of the Binaural section, too.  I seem to recall quite a few flubs in the Milwaukee show.  Moline would be my 2nd choice, the No Code performance sets a really cool vibe.

Can't go wrong with Telluride or C'ville. I was at both and both are top 10 shows for me. Maybe top 2 for the ride.

Charlottesville 
Quebec City 16

I would second Quebec City, and Detroit 2014 is also great!

Totally pick up Quebec City 2016 & Charlottesville 2003 too.

Thanks! Yield is also my fave, but Toronto does sound like the better show.

Thanks all!

Milwaukee!

I personally think Moline is the most overrated PJ boot of all time. FWIW. I would look at the west coast 2013 shows if I were you. Portland or Vancouver or Spokane. Those were all amazing shows.

You can't go wrong right?  Best thing about being such a fan of the band is that any show (especially 2013 and beyond is that you are golden with whatever show and you're splitting hairs as to the differences.  

Moline's amazing as the idea of full album shows wasn't even thought of and it's their best album and then Telluride has a feel of everyone being super happy with the place.

Agreed. No code is my favorite album and I thought that Moline was just ok .  It just didn’t flow at all and if you don’t like no code then you are bored to death. The yield show was even worse. 
the Spokane and Phoenix shows were some of my favorite from the west coast. Never gave Portland or Vancouver a listen to.

Is SEA 2 (2018) an option?  That's a fantastic show.

Spokane 13 is one of the best of that year

Vancouver is fuckin awesome!  Give it a whirl.

Great show.  Under-appreciated poster, too.

Vancouver is a gem...Portland, Spokane and Calgary are also solid!

Agreed. That show was amazing! My very first Spokane Pearl Jam show. Well worth the trip.

For some reason I didn’t go after seeing my first show in Missoula in 2012, I think it was work why I couldn’t make the three hour drive. Then I saw the setlist unfold. Regrets.

Telluride is my fave of the entire LB tour cycle.

It is a very strong set and show.  The band definitely got off on the vibe of the venue and area.

Wow! Thanks for all the input! It was tough, but all your comments helped a lot. In the end, I went with.... (drumroll)

Charlottesville '13 and Toronto '16! And I'm loving both!!

Definitely need to listen to the others mentioned here, tho. Specially got my sights on Spokane '13, Quebec '16, Chicago '16 (both), Krakow '18 and Seattle '18.

Thanks again, all. And I wouldn't mind if those recommendations keep coming. This has been a great way to get back into PJ live. I actually went back and got all the "Soundboard Remaster Series (pre-2000 bootlegs)" I was missing, too. w00t!
