    Wow. I mentioned it early in the thread... but the true/best pearl jam experience is a proper arena show.

    The way the set lists are built... The momentum, etc... it's a religious experience for a fan. Imo PJ20 lacked as did wrigley. Those events were awesome for many reasons though.

    Detroit 10/7/2000 [My 22nd birthday, just such an unbelievable night]
    Detroit #2 6/26/2003 [2nd night, maybe the best setlist I've witnessed(only 3 repeats from night #1)--definitely a die-hard fan night]
    Baltimore 10/27/2013 [Outstanding show, they're really getting better with age]
    Detroit 5/22/2006 [KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHERFUCKER!! Eddie says this song was specifically for Detroit]
    Cleveland 5/10/2010 [Brought my uncle, who loves PJ, to his first show, which prompted him to plan his next PJ show]
    Toledo 9/22/96 [Ain't nothin' like the first time...]
    Detroit 8/23/1998 [Met Darren McCarty (my favorite hockey player) and witnessed an on-stage haircut]
    Detroit #1 6/25/2003 [My first outdoor PJ show, Eddie played 'The Kids Are Alright' pre-set]
    East Lansing 8/18/1998 [Setlist was really good and heard Soldier of Love, so that was cool]
    Chicago 8/5/2007 [Lollapalooza--maybe if I hadn't had to leave Modest Mouse to get a good spot for PJ it'd rank higher]
    Toledo 10/2/2004 [How a show where Neil Young shows up is last on my list, I'll never know, but it does.]

    THIS IS REALLY HARD!! All the shows I've been to were great, some especially amazing, and I did my best... Hopefully I'll add another Detroit "Rock City" show SOON......

    First off, This is a great thread. Props to the OP

    I need to keep it to 5 shows because listing 24 I think defeats the purpose of this exercise.

    1. NYC 2006 - VH1 Storytellers. I know, only 10 songs, including a lot of Avocado, but it was my "hooked" moment. My first time seeing the band live. 5th row. An incredible and unique experience.

    2. PJ20 Night 2 - 10th row Stone's side. "The word Epic" is thrown around a lot these days. This 2-day festival actually was.

    3. Philly Night 1 2013 - Not to say that you don't expect great things when you go to a PJ show, but I was amazed at how strong this show was for a f'n Monday night in the middle of a tour. Astonishing.

    4. Brooklyn Night 2 2013 - Great energy. Could see them actively making an effort to 'step it up' for NYC. First time seeing them from behind the stage, also. The top of Matt's head is lovely.

    5. Camden Night 2 2008 - Selfish pick for me on this one. Drunkest I've ever been at a show. Belting out lyrics with great friends out on the lawn.

    After 41 shows some of the early ones are a blur to me now but my "Top Shows" are:

    Philly 3 & 4, 2009
    Toronto 1, 2011
    MSG 1, 2003
    Charlottesville, 2013
    Jones Beach 2, 2000

    Bottom shows:
    Wrigley, 2013 (the weather and delay were just too much to overcome despite playing late)
    Detroit, 2006 (Meh show. Meh attendance)
    Charlotte, 2013 (Nowhere near the energy of the previous night which was a surprise since it was the last night of the leg outside of a festival which doesn't count in my book)

    It certainly did not feel like a Monday night. Probably because I boozed it up and had off on Tuesday :lol:. The crowd was incredible- matched or at least just missed matching that Friday's Hartford crowd IMO.
