1. London/Berlin 2010 cant decide between either
2. Dublin
Didn't do the US dates but would have to have been 1 hell of a show to be anywhere close to either of these
Glasgow 00, Dublin 06, Lisbon 06, Lisbon 06, Munich 07, London 07, New York 08, New York 08, Manchester 09, London 09, Dublin 10, Belfast 10, London 10, Berlin 10, Manchester 12, Manchester 12, Berlin 12, Berlin 12, Amsterdam 14, Amsterdam 14, Berlin 14, Leeds 14,
I only saw Columbus, so clearly that's my favorite (one hell of a show!); however, I originally downloaded the Perth, Au show just to have a copy of 'Throw Your Arms Around Me' and, I gotta say, I absolutely love that boot! The energy in 'Breakerfall' as the opener, moving into 'Why Go', 'Corduroy' and 'Gonna See My Friend' is just insane!
also - as has been said, Newark is def. underrated. Alone, Immortality, Indifference not as a closer, Jersey Girl. Great show.
Philly 4 was obviously one of the best pure experiences. last ever show at the spectrum. 40+ songs, over 3 hours. the boys in costumes. Bugs. Crown of thorns. may not have had the best flow of songs, etc - but let me tell you, it was an unbelievable experience. The confetti during RitFW had the band and crowd in sheer delight. Ah, memories.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

I agree -- Newark was probably my favorite show that I attended from the 2010 leg - not saying its the best of the tour, just saying these things are subjective and I really liked Newark. I was lucky to have seen some great shows and its hard to pick the best i attended, let alone best of the whole tour. If I had to pick one that i attended, id have to say Philly3. Obviously, i loved MSG2 as well, which was a lot of fun and Hunger Strike was a thrill. So many great shows this tour -- i certainly wouldnt argue with Boston, LA3, LA4, Philly4 or Berlin as contenders. I also really like Melbourne, Brisbane (the Aussie shows always seem to be good), both Seattle shows, both Chicago shows, San Diego, Vancouver, SLC, Austin, Belfast, London. The whole tour was great These things can get a bit silly, with everyone insisting that the one show that he or she attended is the show of the tour.
tough one........cant answer this one...is like ask which of your 2 childs love more....
but if i have too,,ill choose 2010....got the best Black ever,and the feelings was...
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
My vote is for Hartford....not much love for that show here....maybe im biased cuz i was there but wow...I think everyone should at least give it a chance...if u havent listened to it. Some great versions of the songs in Boston, but the crowd in Hartford was soo loud.

For example, Eddie was so different in this two concerts. 2009 he was very relaxed, on fire and a bit drunk at the end. This year was way more emotional with this 10 Years-Roskilde-Day. Black, Come Back 2010 were epic!
And finally i got to hear Immortality & In Hiding which i waited soo long for this two songs and then they come in a row
The audience was louder and more into it in 2009... just my opinion.
Finally... both shows were outstanding and unique... i just can't say which one was better!

Hartford was a great show. I walked out thinking there was no way they could top it in Boston two nights later. They did, but not by very much.
I think the five show run from Hartford through MSG II are all great. I'm thankful I got to see two of 'em, am a little jealous of anyone who got to see all of 'em!
For Europe i would have to say Dublin or Berlin 10

berlin 2009/berlin 2010 not much between them by far the best crowd and band reactions different types of show emotinaly and hard to split but 2009 i would say is my best gig every of any band
london 02 2009 wasnt expecting to much ended up 2 nd row great sound good crowd great set
shepherds bush 2009 purley for excitment an build up probably would be top but ended up to drunk so can only go on what i remember boot sounds good though
london hyde park 2010 again got pretty close to front and surprised not so many people rate it higher / the boot sounds amazing
dublin 2010 really enjoyed up in the seating had tears in my eyes a few times
belfast 2010 in satnding 3rd or 4th row for 2nd half of show great setlist and not far behind dublin for me
bbk festival spain 2010 loved the setting ,lots of good moments , bass sound was strangely loud but good never the less
rock werchter festival belguim 2010 not a great crowd nearly the worst ive been in at any concert very poor atmosphere sound not great either far to big a venue to compete with some of the more intimate stuff but did have some good moments all the same
arras france 2010 loved the venue and the sound was nearly as good as london but the crowd were absoulutly shocking the worst pearl jam gig ive been at by a mile not because of the band or sound but the trully awfull french crowd
to finish off having been at above and listened to boots including us tour dates nothing even came close to berlin it was miles better than any of the rest and a venue i will do all i can to never miss pearl jam playing ever again , i cannot explain in words how good the 09 and 10 gigs were
but guess you might need to have been there to understand n everyone has their own opinion

Definitely philly 3! I have been to tons of shows including MSG 1/2 2003, MSG 1/2 2008, MSG 1/2 2010 to
name a few. After the shows my friends and I who attend talk about it on way home. After philly 3 we all agreed that was the greatest show ever, not one of us disagreed. With the other msg shows 1/2 2010 there was alot of disagreement. Just my two sense, but that is how we gauge concerts since it seems that on this page every concert that someone has attended is the greatest concert ever no matter where it is. Take care everyone.
Didnt see Berlin 2010, but I consider 2009 maybe the best of the 9 shows Ive seen. I bet 2010 was fantastic as well, specially considering the 10 year day of the Roskilde accident. Wuhlheide is also the best venue Ive seen them in.
I saw Dublin and Belfast, and Belfast was way better. Much more energy and better setlist.

I hit 6 shows in the US and 3 in Europe this tour -
I'm no critic as they all had a completely different vibe going on...
Of the shows I attended ... Cleveland has to get some recognition here...
Wash as an opener and Indifference as a closer... In Hiding, Smile, and The Real Me in between.
Can I get an Amen..t Pl..lease?
Berlin was amazing... If you were not there.... you can't even comment as far as I am concerned.
Love Boat Captain was played while we were in the behind the stage que ...sound check... gave me chills!
It got a little tight up front as an enthusiastic GA show can be but everyone took care of one another quite nicely. There was an amazing community feeling all day long. Thank you new friends for making it special!

Much love for the Hartford show here. It was my first and meant more than I possibly could have imagined.
i only rank philly 2 #1 cause me and my buddy from work got really shifaced before and during the concert
And that's what music is all about.
it's more bout meeting people and parting at this point for me with pearl jam. i coulda checked out after seeing release at msg 2 08. it was the only thing i wanted to experience in my lifetime and i did and now pearl jam concerts are just gravy to me.

Wow you are the first person i've heard say London was as good as Berlin.
Folks these days just don't do nothing simple for the love of it
That i was.
Joint best of the Euro shows with Berlin anyway!
