guys...the whole point of "top 3 shows" is the format...you cant list 147 shows on a "top 3 shows" thread. limiting as it may be, it's kinda the point of a "top 3 shows". carry on.

1.) Grand Rapids 06- I was literally counting down the days for about 2 and a half months. Me and my friends skipped school and got into Grand Rapids early, around 9am, just to enjoy the whole day. At about 3 or 4 I stopped eating or drinking because I didn't want to be sick or have to go to the bathroom, lol. The ticket screw-ups, the long awesome set, just, wow.
2.) Kitchener 05- My first Pearl Jam concert and my first time out of the US. I can't say anything here otherthan recall your first PJ show.
Three best shows..... Cleveland Music Hall,1991,this show P.j. opens for the Punpkins and Chili Peppers.I see Vedder and Gossard in the aisle by our seats after their set and get to thank them. Peabodys Downunder{R.I.P.},1992,this show is in a bar that seat/stands 400 people.Ed walks around the bar before the show in a brown long trenchcoat with the collar pulled up and a skicap pulled down to his eyes.No one recognized him and pretty much ignores him because he was walking around hands deep in his pockets,staring at people like he was tripping his brains out,[he may have been].I know this because when the band took the stage the weird dude in the trenchcoat took center mike.Lollapalooza,July 1992,1" of rain mudslides on the lawn FUCKIN'LOLLAPALOOZA MAN!!!!!

MSG Night 1 2003 - Front row tix day of show. First to drink from Ed's wine bottle when he passed it down during Crazy Mary. And a DVD to re-live it all. Perfect!!!
Phoenix 1995 - First show. Front Row. Mike handed me a pick. Had a bruise across my ribs for a week from being pressed against the railing.
Seattle Key Arena night 2- Just a cool show. Got a copied set list from soundboard with hand written alterations to set. Very cool.
