I was at MSG show. Still have the poster framed. Great versions of Baba O'Rielly and busting out Alive after Indifference had entire venue pumping fists at the end. Epic marathon.

I realize this is a subjective list but… the night 3 Spectrum show is the definitively best show of the 4 shows, not night 4. Also… the night 2 at Randall’s Island is the better of the two shows. Otherwise… good list. If I remember correctly, Spin magazine did a really good top ten list for PJ20. I have a hard copy of the magazine somewhere.

This is correct. Night three in Philly was the best one. How does Randall's 2 not make the list? First time Present Tense played live. More internet BS I guess.

You can ask 1,000 pearl jam fans and you will get very many different top 10's. All depends on what the criteria is, the wording here "legendary" is weird, because in its absolute sense "legendary" is stories passed down for which we don't have much or any evidence of, in the more slang sense sure these shows are legendary.
If the criteria is best played at least 5-6 of those shows are nowhere near the top 10. If the criteria is most important, at least 5-6 of those shows have very little basis for being on that list.
Randall's Island night 2 is a big show, nice old school bootleg, Night 1 was a better overall performance though, sadly not much good in the way of recordings due to the rain that plagued the show.
Insane for a legendary shows list to not have Zurich June 18, 1992 and Atlanta night 2 1994 on it.
