quite possibly a thread that's been done before but i've yet to see it.

looking to expand my boot collection and curious as to what shows over the years stand out to you. don't be too obvious either - everyone knows about MSG 03, Atlanta 94 and Chicago 95 etc.

won't do a top 5 right now but if you're looking for something a little off the beaten path go with Champaign '03.

St. Pete 94 is one of my all time favorites. Philly 2005. MSG 2 2010.

I'll recommend shows I wasn't at:

Chicago 2000 - Amazing from start to finish. A 23-song main set :shock: The good kind of Crazy Mary before Boom ruined it. Also an outstanding Black.

Buffalo 2003 - This was squeezed between the legendarily hostile and the legendarily lengthy Buffalo and State College shows, and it might turn some off because of all the covers, but it's a really great performance.

Grand Rapids 2006 - That first encore is ::fire emoji::

Hartford 2008 - I lied, I was at this one. But easily my favorite from 2008 that I've listened to multiple times.

Quebec 2016 - I feel like people are picking up on the fact that this was a good one. Worth your time.

Springfield, MA - April 6th, 1994 - an old favourite. Great version of 'Porch'.

San Francisco, CA - October 31st, 2000. I love disc 2 of this one; Ed's banter is on point and there is a wonderful ambience to it all. The outro of 'Black' is particularly lovely.

Nashville, TN - April 18th, 2003 - Amazing 'Breakerfall, beautiful 'Light Years', a random 'Wild Thing' tag to 'Better Man', and a playful 'Bushleaguer' where Ed has fun with some of the boos rather than getting pissed off like in Uniondale.

Newcastle, Aus - November 19th, 2006 - This show was added to the tour after fans in this town signed a massive petition. Opens with 'Alive', main set has 'Undone', encores include 'Masters of War', 'Crown of Thorns', 'Alone', second encore 'Corduroy' and 'Even Flow' appearance. Just a differently paced show and it totally works.

Adelaide, Aus - November 21st, 2006. This is absolute fire. Great crowd singing along from the get go, Ed sounds ferocious on 'Go' & 'Do The Evolution' and 'Immortality' has an all-timer solo.
