I didn't know that Ed played guitar until I saw that Not for You performance live on SNL in '94. I taped that and wore out the VCR. Also made a really bad cassette version and wore that out too, playing it in my car on the way to school. It was kind of a game changer for me in how I thought about the band so my vote goes to that one.

The two I probably listened to most in my bootleg tape listening days in college:
1) 4/3/94 Black - Atlanta (* I know a bunch prefer the unplugged version, and perhaps there are better performances in recent years [I thought Fenway was really awesome])
2) 3/17/95 Porch - Melbourne - the jam never sounded the same before or after and it was awesome.
But if I had to pick one - I'd pick the 4/3/94 Black

I thought Long Road in Chicago 2009 was very moving. I believe it was for a friend of Jeff's who had died. He was even on the awful poster for the show. Anyway, Ed absolutely poured himself into it. I'm sure other performances of that song rank higher (maybe the one he did in S.D. for his theater teacher), but in the 39 shows I've been to, it's the first performance that came to mind.

After some thought I think I have to go with this one, too. This song and performance really changed the way I looked at Pearl Jam.
