    Maybe all timer post Covid.  I absolutely loved Philly one this year but it didn’t crack my top ten.  
    What’s your top 5?

    1. Randall’s 9/29/96

    @PJammin'


    Great list.  I still think the best MSG show is 9/11/98 and it’s not particularly close imo.
    Totally agree with you; that show was off the charts.  

    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    With all due respect....nothing ever tops a PHILADELPHIA PJ show.

    Fenway looked like a great time though. 
    South America, Europe..
    The only bigger myth is the MSG hype...
    There's nothing to compare to..like day and night..

    Correct, in the US the tickets actually get sold.  
    Now i see your avatar..ok..
    It's on my bucket list to see PJ in Europe. To me there would be no better overall experience than seeing them somewhere like Prague or Vienna
    Worth your money 100%.. South America??..1000%..

    The northeast is full of a lot of people passionate about this band, and lots of people who love the band travel from all over to catch PJ here.  NY / NJ, Philly, Boston-- I've been to all of them at different times.  Every show I have been to have had great crowds, and the band has always brought it.  I've been to 15 total, 14 of which were in these places, and one in DC in 2008 which was also a great show and a great crowd.  To me, Pearl Jam falls somewhere squarely in the middle of Phish and Tool, and the 3 of them comprise my 3 favorite live bands, all of whom also are loved in the northeast.  PJ's not a jam band, but they are a band that can jam pretty hard.  Stone's solos were ridiculous at MSG 2 and Boston 1 this tour!  I try and guess every song they play before they play it.  If I am able to see their instruments and if I catch them strum a few warm up notes, and have been watching setlists from prior shows, I can guess the next song about half of the time.  But I am also surprised by what they pull out plenty often.  I've been a fan since 95 and love them more now than ever.  We're all very lucky to have these guys around doing what they do and how well they do it!

    Hartford 2010 was one of my faves, Probably somewhere in my top twenty.  Hartford 2006 was one of the worst non festival shows I ve ever been to.

    Hartford is like Philly even though they do not go there as often. Ain't talking bout love. That outdoor venue sucks but if Hartford in on the list, I put in for it ahead of MSG.

    2008 was such a great show.  It was only my second ever but that setlist still holds up.

    2013 was epic as well and I was fortunate to be in the pit

    Fenway 2 was a blast, but not close to an all timer imo.  There are many shows from 1994-2005 and from 2013-2014 that absolutely smoke it.  I'd say 90% of the 1998 tour for starters...

    I went in 2010 and I was glad that I did.

    The crowd, for me, is the crowd. Crowd has to really make me notice one way(loud/crazy, etc.) or the other(basically sitting on their hands, not seemed to be into the show, etc.)

    Hartford 2010 was a good/fun show and that crowd bought it that night.

    I get that post-concert endorphins are a hell of a drug, but saying any show on this tour was better than pre-pandemic PJ is pretty nutso
    Thank you for saying it - every show now is “epic”!!!!!

    I can listen to any random show prior to pandemic and I would trade it in a heartbeat for today’s set lists.

Fuck you, and if anyone sees someone throw fuckin' change right next to them, you have my permission to beat the fuckin' holy shit outta them."
