    Boston '03 Red flaming thing with Death Cab
    Hartford '98 spooky tree

    I thought about picking five here with birds and calling them Birds of Pearl Jam. You could also have Skulls and Skeletons of Pearl Jam.

    This really needs photos to justify, but I am at work so...

    1. Shuss Wrigley: The show, the value it holds, my incredible love for baseball. Many reasons. I will be forever thankful for kasedoug for grabbing this for me and waiting in that long, hot line for it. I truly owe him big time! Still an amazing experience that entire trip!
    2. Pittsburgh 2013: wasn't there, but thanks to a heads up by someone I just gave props to (kasedoug), I got it on here...for $35. I love this poster, its stunning.
    3. Klausen Dublin 2010 (wasn't there either, but Klausen is my favorite and this looks incredible)
    4. Klausen PJ20 night 2: love the incorporating of his posters up to that point. Bought the S/N version and met Brad that day. He is an awesome guy.
    5. Klausen Gorge 2005: was my favorite for a long while. Wasn't there, but I love the Pearl Jam "hidden" in the mountain. More great work.

    In no order....

    1) Pittsburgh '13 (Don't own it and never will but it is AMAZING.)
    2) DC "Reaper" (Own this one and it is scary good...)
    3) Ben Harper - "Sasquatch" poster by EMEK. I have one (This version: http://expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/41487) and consider it one of the best concepts/designs and executions of art ever.
    4) Eddie Vedder - "Kenyon Hall" by Klausen. I like the bright blue accent colors...
    5) San Diego '98 - I have always loved Endless Summer and this is an excellent nod...

    What a fun, if not depressing thread!

    I don't own many...and only from the shows I've gone to. Not much of a "collector" and in fact, could have bought 2 SE Cracker Jacks inside Wrigley. Opted, instead for a single Emek. Maybe I should have bought and flipped them, but I figured it's best that the next one in line got them. Likely a fault to my good faith. I could have probably obtained 2 of my top 5 had I been willing to buy and flip 2 Cravker Jack's. Just not my style.

    I've only got posters for shows I've attended. There is really only 1 exception I'd make otherwise.

    Personal top 5 (from shows attended):

    EV Chicago 11 Past - Own
    EV Chicago 11 Future - Own
    Chicago 00 - never gonna happen
    Chicago/Troy 98 - pipedream 
    Milwaukee 14 - unlikely

    And from shows I haven't attended:

    Pittsburgh 13 - I'm a proud Union Steelworker, so it is art I can relate to.

    * edit to add - Toronto 11 Moose - I don't know why, but I love moose. Probably my random love of the mountains and the great outdoors. Random, I know.

    Hartford 1998 (Ames) is my absolute favourite and glad I chased one down in the early 2000s.

    My favourites after that would be many of the Ames designs from 96 and 98.
