    Definitely Top 5. Other contenders are Springsteen & E-Street Band and U2. The band is firing on all cylinders right now. Fun to watch.

    I'd take U2 out because I don't think they play 35 song 3 hour sets, and their show is a bit too over the top (plus they haven't toured in 2+ years?)... but maybe Springsteen/E Street. I'll go with PJ though... this tour has been pretty amazing.

    Yes. Nobody puts together the vibe as well as PJ. The 3hr shows, set lists, unique poster/sticker/shirt for every show, plus the amazing musicians in this band set them above the rest IMO! Not to mention the "feel" each day of a show you're attending with the wish list pre-party and everybody hanging out before/after shows. I've met some awesome people over the past 22 years and met a few more in OKC.
