(Montreal '11, MIA / Philly '12 & Mansfield 2 '08 get honorable mentions, but can't touch those top 5 for me. Wrigley was also a great experience, but the rain delay & 2 hour walk back to the loop are big enough drawbacks to keep it off my list.)

Greenville, sc 9/4/98 My Hometown show...first sell out in our new arena,,,ed refers to the band being the sweetgrass stick for the cleansing of the brand new arena...oceans opener still one of my little PJ highlights!

Took me awhile... But as I walk out of most shows I am trying to think about comparing them to my previous ones, So I just tried to remember where I thought each one should go.. They will probably change going forward. The bottom 2 are obvious to me due to circumstances that I can't control, so that's why they are last. I couldn't put 1 as my worst not counting those, that's why there are 3 tied at 17.

I've been thinking about this and I could see Brooklyn Night 1 coming out on top for me :shock:

The entire experience through the travel, days, etc was amazing.
The shows themselves do not compare to a normal PJ show IMO. Between all the "special guests" and the ToTD reunions (I personally like ToTD).... the shows completely lacked the momentum-building and "bite" that drives me to attend 22 and counting shows.
The only one that is lower is the only true "dog" of a show I have been to: Hartford '06. It was May, freezing, the band really didnt seem into it. Opened with 4 or 5 straight Avocado songs, and a pretty short, standard setlist.
A ton of other shows
Hartford 06

Seeing as I bothered to type of this list.. I had a few observations:
1) 4 out of my top 5 were outdoor summer shows
2) The Yield Tour seems to be the most consistently high on my list
3) Seattle shows are really hit and miss.
4) My 20th show was the the only one I saw on the PJ20 tour
1) Worcester 1 2013
1a) Hartford 2013
3) Boston 2010
4) Wrigley
5) Toronto 2009 (PJ opens for PJ)

Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
With that, 10 show sample for me, so it's easy as well:
1. Barrie, ON (08/22/98) - my first show and my 20th birthday. 30,000 people in GA. It doesn't get much better.
2. Buffalo, NY (10/12/13) - was FINALLY super close to the stage (2nd/3rd row in the pit), so it easily made for a great show. Been literally a dream of mine since my first show to see them up close.
3. Toronto, ON (09/11/11) - Great set and energy. Chloe/Crown and Neil freakin' Young joins them on stage for Rockin'. Amazing
4. Toronto, ON (08/21/09) - Molson Amphithreate on a beautiful summer's eve. Great venue.
5. Ottawa, ON (09/16/05) - Hometown show! Epic setlist and show length.
6. Toronto, ON (06/59/03) - Same as above. Molson Amphitheatre again on a great evening....
7. Ottawa, ON (09/14/11) - Decent seats (15th row on floor), but felt the crowd was not into it enough and it took away from the experience. Eddie seemed to notice it too!
8. Kitchener, ON (09/11/05) - Fun trip to Kitchener and a good set . . . was 30th row on the floor and drunk! But still pretty fun.
9. Toronto, ON (10/05/00) - Second of back-to-back shows in different cities means I was TIRED. And nosebleed seats doesn't help either!
10. Montreal, QC (10/04/00) - Nosebleed seats made it hard to connect with the band and other fans.
