They put forth some amazing performances up through 2005 or so. But I do think that from then onward, “greatest” trends heavily towards setlist selection rather than performance/vibe.

I refuse to believe 2006 is not considered. In some ways this might be Eddie's vocal peak. His early 90s stuff is amazing, but in 2006 he had this crystal clear voice with all of the power and the band was TIGHT.

Here's a few of my go to boots. Everything after 2006 has been hit or miss, so I really only listen to the shows I've been to after '06. I was not at any of the shows listed below, they're just a few of my favorites.
Zurich '92 Great Woods 2 '98 Milan '00 Mansfield 1 '00 Chicago '00 Boise '00 Tokyo '03 Buffalo '03 Philly '05 Pistoia '06 Hawaii '06

Most of the stuff I listed there is based on the vibe. Hell, Werchter 22 has a really by the numbers setlist but it’s an impecable PJ show, tight, with high energy and urgency.

These are some of the best shows (but strictly performancewise!), just official releases:
1998 Washington, Los Angeles I 2000 Salzburg, Zürich, Berlin, Oslo, Saratoga, Camden I, Columbia, Chicago, Portland, Seattle II 2003 Uniondale, MSG I 2005 Sao Paolo I 2006 Reading, Milan, Torino, Verona, Pistoia, Barcelona, LA I +II, San Francisco III, Portland, Brisbane II, Adelaide I+II, Sydney III 2009 LA III+IV 2010 MSG II 2011 Lima
Once again: these are not always the best shows in terms of setlist quality.

I'll admit I'm not as familiar with the later setlists as I am 92-98. Maybe there are some bangers out there I've not heard? But even the widely celebrated ones, like the Gorge show, tend to underwhelm.
