I really enjoyed Boston 5-24-06. i remember them walking off the stage after a great performance and shaking their heads at the tremendous response from the crowd during and after the song. wish I could watch it on dvd as it's a moment frozen in my mind

I have to agree. I remember being a part of that and just thinking "WOW! This is unreal!"
I don't know about legendary, but the 2 best are London,Ont 2005 and Milan 2006. If you listen to them you will know exactly what I'm talking about. The solo's are incredible. and during the London show someone named Melissa is on stage
AGREED on LONDON, 05... you can hear the crowd coming in with the heys so good on the boot... it's like you're there... if anyone hasn't heard, take a listen... i have never heard a crowd "HEY" so loud on boot.
i only own my mind- i am mine.

Having been very close to the stage for many of hte shows mentioned...montreal, msg 98,03, one of the most memorable was probably msg 98. There was somethign special about the montreal show in 98, and the crowd, that was a great show...i'm glad that i saw them so many times on that tour.
Also think some of those earlier performances were just sick. I'm partial to the 94/95 versions....

April 20, 2006 was special for me, when Eddie cajolled the band back out to play Alive as a third encore having already 'finished' with Yellow Ledbetter at the London Astoria. Pretty much blew the roof off.
My favorite is by a fan. This dude at one of the '06 San Fran shows put on an awesome show. It was upstairs in the seats. People were hovering in the walkway between the upper and lower sections and security were pretty good about moving them along.
So this guy comes out as Alive is just beginning and starts going nuts. Air guitar, jumping, singing along, just flat out rocking out. At one point he's lying on back looking like Marty McFly. I was sure security was gonna tell him to move along but they let him "finish" the song and before they could tell him to move he was gone.
I am going to say Storytellers for the simple fact you can see me pumping my fist. Legendary.

the solo is different than normal and it just flows, so fucking awesome
Milan 2006 was the one they used for the Imagine DVD so the solo is longer so they could show a bunch of footage for while it played on the dvd (footage including Ed falling on his face)

I love that solo, its so awesome, I dont know how many times I've watched it.
The London, ON one is incredible, I just listened to it for the first time.

so you were at the London,Ont show? Who was this Melissa Ed talked about at the end of Alive. He says "That's Melissa, going to be alive for a long time" He doesn't mention her in the encores or anything before or after. Was she on stage?
I'd have to include the Vote for Change Tour - Kissimmee, FL show in October 2004. Everybody in that arena was going apeshit the entire show. When they played "Alive" it was like the arena was having an orgasm. Absolutely unbelievable. The entire show was one I'll NEVER forget - even though there's no boot to listen to. :(

This one was highly emotional, one of the few I've heard when Ed changes the lyric and sings:
Oh, she walked slowly across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...to fuck you
Crowd was crazy into it, Ed was running from one side of the stage to the other, jumping on top of the monitors and doing the shouts at the end. I was sitting in the 8th row, right in front of Stone, and Mikey came all the way over in front of us going wild on the solo. Ed ran over to Mike and started slamming the whammy bar on Mike's strat while Mike was playing. Kerensa took a nice photo of that, you can see it on the photo page. Seemed like it went on and on and on.....Truly amazing. Check it out on the boot.
SNL 92. No question. It was my first Pearl Jam experience. It was revelatory. I shook my future wife midway through the song and said "You have got to see this!!!". She bought me "Ten" a week later. The rest is history. It truely changed the way I listen to music.
05 Philly at the Wach (iv never felt a corwd get so in to any song), and the 07 lolla (how we sang the chours overe and over, then eddie came out and told us to fuck BP). otherwise off the Green Habit, Zurich 1992.
also, I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but the London 2005 show also has the best version of Wishlist. I'm not a big fan of Ed's improvs towards the end, but this one goes on for a little while with just music...it's really good.
I didn't even go to the show, or see video so I'm not one of those people that went to a show so I consider it great. I hate it when people do that.

Sounds great, how long is the version. I love it when they reach 7 minutes.
MSG 2 98 I've heard, and I was there for MSG 1, 98 which generally sucked. I learned a valuable lesson, no matter how broke you may be, go to multiple shows.

Yikes! Hope you didn't misspell it on the signs!
for the least they could possibly do
or one where there is loads of fucking alive fisting and chanting and just a really mellow and cool version.
I prefer the 2nd one
