in The Porch
For me it was Columbia, getting chole/crown and rise was amazing and it was only my second GA show ever!! Such a great night.

    Philly 2
    The emotion in that room during 10 was unmatched. Plus the set didn't suck after the album like Greenville.

    The set after VS wasn't terrible, but I agree.......Philly 2 had so much love in that room. Ten took that crowd to places few have been. They could have played anything after that and the crowd would have been in to it. It wasn't the rarest set, but by starting with ten it changed the set's makeup entirely. No porch to close an encore. No alive in the second encore. The hardcore fans were given an unpredictable treat, which was really nice. It was amazing.

    Toronto 1 and MSG1 get honorable mentions.

    I was a little harsh. It wasn't great after vs to follow with 4 LB tunes in a row. And honestly, it's hard to follow VS or Ten in sequence but I feel they did a better job in Philly. I'll never forget when Alive started. Loudest ovation ever because it fully confirmed what was happening.

    Best set goes to Quebec and it wasn't even close in my opinion. Best overall feel of the show from start to finish goes to TO 2. The way this show kept building was spectacular and the crowd fed off it perfectly.

    Greenville, the album show was unexpected then, and the energy was insane

    Went to 5 shows (Greenville,Hampton,Columbia,toronto1 and 2)

    All were great shows, but I love binaural so I have to give it to Toronto 1. It took big balls to play that album in full and they killed it, so happy to have been lucky enough to catch it.

    every night the shows just got better and better - I think for me, the Toronto shows would have been sweet to be at.

    Completely agree. And then Columbia second, got to cross off a lot on my wish list.

    Hard to say unless you went to them all! But think Toronto 1 and 2 were very special. I watched the Quebec show on Periscope. That setlist probably takes the cake but I think the crowd and flow of Toronto 2 wins.

    Philly 2 looked like a dream show for my money: Full 10, Breakerfall, Throw Your Hatred Down, Who You Are, All or None, Bee Girl, Sonic Reducer, Leash, Comfortably Numb... I'm jealous of all in attendance.

    Great, great setlists all the way around! Can't wait to see how the remaining shows unfold.

    I'm really jealous of the Toronto 1 Binaural show and Quebec, but I honestly don't think I could trade Philly 2 for either of them. Like others have said it created an indescribable atmosphere when they played Ten and the setlist didn't disappoint at all after that. Breakerfall (a top 10 song for me and the first time I've got it), All or None sounded amazing live, C. Numb and all 3 covers to close the show were awesome. I'm also a sucker for the LTRP/STBC combo.

    Philly 2. The energy and emotion in that room was incredible. The speech by Ed before and the crowd during Release is a moment i'll never forget.

    I was at 3...Lexington and the 2 MSG shows. I'd rate Lexington as the best of those 3. Mostly because the band's energy was through the roof in Kentucky. They might have been tired in New York, with them coming at the end of 4 shows in 5 days. They just didn't feel like they were on fire as much.

    Based on what I've seen or heard from other shows I wasn't at, I might pick Quebec as the one show I most wish I had gone to.
