So...we're nearly through another batch of European festival shows and while we can't discuss the best shows of this short tour as we still have three to go...

What have been Pearl Jam's best ever festival shows of the past....????? Being from Australia I have never seen them in a festival here.

What does everyone think? I presume Bonaroo will be a popular choice!

    Lollapalooza 2007 was REAL good, but also my only time seeing them as part of a festival, so I am slightly bias, wish I would have seen Bonaroo

    Reading Festival 06 is definitely one of the best PJ shows I've seen. Lolla 07 is up there too

    Jazz Fest 2010! :D It was my first PJ show, so I'm a little partial to it.

    I've only seen two(Lolla 07 and ACL Fest 09), but Lolla was by far one of the coolest PJ show experiences of my life. Maybe it was the crowd or the band energy, but it was a rocking good time.

    AGREED! it could be the joint high of the vic + lolla (both front row for the first time ever) but that weekend remains one of the coolest of my life!

    the only downside with the festivals is staying hydrated all day while you camp out near the front... I'm gonna have to be prepared this year for soundgarden 8-)

    although I assume arcade fire will split the crowd pretty evenly (bummed I'm missing them)

    Reading '06 was incredible, I pretty much lost it when the first chords of Crown Of Thorns were played.

    ... and the great thing is we get to relive it watching the dvd :mrgreen:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Has to be both Reading and Leeds 2006. Great setlists with 23 songs in leeds being the shortest of the 2. Also only 2 cover songs over the two shows which everybody knew (baba & rockin'). Compare them with the current festival setlist, which have short first sets and only one encore and the odd rubbish cover song thrown in.
