    I prefer Berlin 06 over Berlin 10. But both are awesome. Also Tokyo 03, Benaroya, Rio 05 and Oeiras 10.

    Kissimmee 2004 - First time I heard it live, and watching Eddie dance with Susan Sarandon was pretty cool. Sentimental version.

    Denver 2006 is actually my favorite from a sound perspective. Benmont Tench from Tom Petty's band playing the piano with it just made it beautiful.

    Berlin 2010 was out-of-this-world good.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    Dublin 06....the crowd took up the di di dih part at the end. Ed got really emotional and the band just kept playing under it softly. Never seen anything like it before or since.think it was the first time the crowd did that..

    Well there can be scrutiny of best vocals best Mikey solo but for over all punch
    Dimi's posting of Berlin 10 has now converted me to giving it #1 status.. And I'm a Boston guy who has been following them since the beginning, fan club member since 1994 .. Now I gotta buy the boot...
    It's the raw emotion , performance and fantastic crowd:
    Hail hail the lucky ones who were there!

    See now you know your boots if you know this one..
    THE BEST Mikey solo that very few people have ever heard outside of those who attended (not me, I stumbled across this boot by pure accident ages ago)
    Don't knock it until you hear the Masters jaw dropping solo... Better than LO2L .. Before you ask !

    Credit this YouTube video and my friend, John, who posted on his facebook page. As soon as I watched/heard this, I was hooked and forever a fan. Guess it's the first time I really ever saw Pearl Jam play "live", except for some of the times on MTV Unplugged, Jeremy.

    Also first bootleg I ever had of a full show was MSG 2003-07-08 show, and I really like that version too. Just listen Mike's solo at the back end. Very cool!

    Just watched it again. Mike...Are you fuckin' kidding me?!! Amazing, man.

    Hands down, April 23, 2003. Champaign, IL. The entire night was MAGIC. However, that version of Black will haunt me FOREVER. Can't explain it, still have a difficult time wrapping my head around it. Yet there it was. Pure. Simple. Complicated. Breathtaking. Majestic. Unadulterated Pearl Jam at their finest.
    cant stop listen it today.....fuck me.....its amazing the sound..

    Recommend checking out Paris, France 2000 version.

    Not sure if I could say it's the best or my absolute favorite, but from start to finish, it rocks!

    Definitely in the Top 10, IMO.
