    this is true but out of the 5 shows I went to in 06

    Cincy was the loudest, and one of the loudest I had been to in years

    only the sound engineer can truly answer this kinda stupid question... he'll be the guy who has the decibel readings from the crowd on his monitors... and he's been to every show and he's impartial!!!


    thats said.. Astoria wins hands down... 3 encores fuckers :cool:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I don't know about top 5, but the definitive best crowd in US History:

    Philly 2003, live at the old Spectrum...anyone else who was there, please back me up on this. I have never heard anything like it.

    Not intended to start an argument, but I was at Boston and Philly and I thought Boston was way louder. Can't really talk about the rest, but Boston (either night) was the loudest crowd I'd ever been a part of by far.


    haha. Hey no worries. I was just trying to add some that weren't already mentioned is all. I was at Boston 1 & 2 as well and completely agree. After years of listening to the boots and being floored by them and floored by Ed being so floored...this year I finally made my dream of being a part of that magic a reality. :D No argument here. I can safely say that Boston is definitely THE loudest crowd I've ever been a part of. I "get it" completely and honestly never wanna miss a show there again. EVER!

    So yes erickvazdel, I will stress BOSTON. ;)

    In full agreement about NYC and SF too!

    I agree with pretty much everything that's been listed so far. :p
    And that's actually a good mixture of shows I did and did not attend.

    P.s. I've never attended a Philly show. Next tour that's my next stop.
    Boston dream down...Philly dream to go. ;)

    i agree. i've been to 26 shows and nothing compared to that one...i couldn't even hear ed singing over the crowd. the boot still gives me chills. i can't imagine anything ever topping that one. i wish they would play all philly shows there instead of camden.

    YES! That is the boot that started my love affair with Philly. :o
    It gives me chills everytime I hear it as well.
    This version of BLACK is easily in my top 5 greatest versions I have ever ever heard. You guys sound soooooooooooooooooooo unbelievably beautiful!!!! It takes my breath away.

    Yea, I was kind of the same way. I'd heard about how good Boston was, and since I had just finished school I figured there was no way I could miss those. Now I just need to see them in my hometown. The closest I've gotten so far is Long Island (Uniondale) and that just doesn't cut if for me. Need to see them at MSG. Sadly in 03 I was away for the summer. Now that's my real dream.

    If you listen to the Cincy '06 bootleg, you can hear Ed say that it was the bestest, most awesome crowd they've ever played for and they plan to do another US tour totaling 74 shows where they play on different streets in Cincinnati. You have to really listen though.

    Cincy '06.....the show of the rocked balls.

    you're right, it's SO not philly. indoor venues are the only way to go! :D i can't wait for the next tour!!!

    Aw how cool that you did the same thing yosi! :) That's awesome.
    Oooh yeah, MSG definitely has to be your next stop. I ended up going in 2003, kinda spontaneously. Completely terrified to fly at the time too. Well that trip got me over that fear and then some. Boston & NYC make the tip top of the list as far as the loudest crowds I've experienced. I felt a lot more unity at the MSG show though. But yeah....both crazy loud and every single fan there is a die hard it seems! It's the most amazing thing!! :D Totally another world. PJ WORLD! haha. It's the best!


    nfanel...the poor man's Philly I heard a few people call it. :p haha. I'm so beyond anxious to experience the real deal!! :D I bet it smells a lot better too. :eek: Eeeek! hahaa.


    Hey coryhill! I actually have heard many people praise the Cincy crowd.
    I really gotta hear that boot!


    Alright just to even things out a bit I must brag some for the West Coast. :p Ed BOWED to us in SF. He got on his knees and physically BOWED to us people! :eek: Unreal! Next to Boston, I had never seen him publically praise a crowd to this extreme before.
    For those that haven't yet , do yourself a favor and GET THE SF SHOWS! :D

    cincy was pretty awesome, as was cleveland, or "loudville" as ed called it. ohio knows how to make some noise! my biased vote still goes to philly, though. :)

    I never choose a boot based on crowd. It's all down to setlist. For example, Kitchener '05 may not get a mention for top crowd db level , but Long Road, Last Exit, LBC, Insignificance, Gimme Some Truth, Faithful, Leatherman, Habit, Blood,Soon Forget/Oops/ Can't Keep, In My Tree, Indifference made it one of a number of memorable shows among the 61 I've seen.

    People complain that people only list the shows they have been to but how else would you be able to measure the crowd?

    My vote would be SF 1. The crowd and the band were the best I have seen at a Pearl Jam show.
