    Seattle 13 was a great long show.  I'd put that one up there.

    We attended that show. It was a good one. My first Pearl Jam Seattle show. 
    We were there too, also our first PJ Seattle show. 

    Calgary ‘13 - the Blizzard Show doesn’t get enough love. Listen to that boot. Listen to that crowd. Check out that fackin setlist. 
    I was in Moline and Calgary ‘13 beats it hands down. What a show

    I missed out on the Calgary show. The day after Spokane I stayed in Seattle to check the sites then headed over to Vancouver, then went back to Seattle. The bootleg is great and I LOVE the variant hockey poster Ames Bros did for Calgary.

    The band really brought it… they couldn’t believe we filled the place. It was one helluva blizzard.

    Champaign, IL 2003. Give it a listen, it gets zero respect because nobody here was there. Tight show 
    I recently listened to a long run of 03 shows and I have to agree. This show stood out.

    I mean I went to Vancouver and Seattle '13, and I liked Vancouver '13 the most.  It was such a good show.  3.5 hours long, went to 12:30 i think.  Such a good show.

    I have a hard time judging Seattle because my seats were in a bad place behind the stage.  We were upperdeck at a location where the lighting rig and metal bird block the view of the stage, so I couldn't see much.. It sounded like an amazing show, but I think my not being happy about that tainted the show for me.

    Were there any shows in '13 that weren't off the wall amazing.   A consistent tour of 3 hour+ barn burners?

    The 1993 Gorge show with Neil Young should be on this list. It has gone down in Pacific Northwest lore as legend. It has also been mentioned in documentaries on the Northwest concert scene as part their arrival as the world’s biggest band.

    Oh I know. :) I picked up this wicked variant at the Ames Bros Pop Up Shop event the day before Pearl Jam played Seattle.

    It sure was. It was the longest Pearl Jam Canadian show to date. My first Vancouver PJ show. It was beautiful!  :)

    I was there and can confirm that this show was absolutely bad ass! Undoubtedly the most under rated show I have attended. The band was on a fucking mission that night.
