What is the best Jacket show yall have seen?

[johnnYYac]

For the record, Portland wasn't my first, just the best, top to bottom.  Boston '08, my first, was awesome, but I was a mile away from the stage and DRUNK, too drunk. Still, at the time, 'twas the best show I'd seen in a long time.  Like Laura said, the best is likely yet to come.

[davymac]

Maybe even the best rock show I have ever attended.

Dude! I had no idea they have played in Athens...Now that the Georgia Theater is back open maybe they will come back.

My favorite show I've seen was probably at Wakarusa, probably because it was the first time I've seen them really close like that (leaning on the rail of gen admission)

Chastain Park in ATL last year was awesome too though.

[ericm]

Wow. This is like asking which of my kids I love more  ;).....No way for me to pick a fave.

TTF at T5 is one that will be hard to top for me. MPP last year and The Yum show are up there too.

St. Augustine was another. Small venue,great crowd, the wind and rain mixed into the smoke and lights. The band tearing it up, and I got to take my lovely daughter to her first MMJ show. It'll always be very high on my list, and definitely the one that means the most to me.

Damn, I knew I couldn't pick just one.    :D

They did back-to-back Prom Nights at the 40 Watt in 2007 (dude)

Not sure how they'll top Roo '06 or Roo '08 for me personally (and I'm also perfectly ok with that - as long as they are remastered and released one day). Best non-festival set was Ryman '06. Also, Rites of Spring '06 was a good one b/c it was on my school's campus my Junior year. Out of 11 shows the 'worst' one is still better than 99% of any other.

Yep.

I don't think anything will ever top Bonnaroo '06 for me...that night was beyond words, without a doubt one of the most powerful experiences of my entire life. Sometimes I think the indelible mark that show left on my psyche may only be topped by an experience like the birth of my first born. Thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

maybe, but let's not say that your first born will indefinitely be more important than your first show  ;)

[RedPatokaSea]

^True...shouldn't set my expectations too high or I might be disappointed.

[bumble]

Hard to compete with new years eve 2008 at the Garden.  It was just a huge party.  Felt like they were playing for us while no one else on the planet even existed.

[vwxg14a]

I saw them with the Boston Pops - very cool, but too short.
I saw them at Langerado and Lollapalooza 2007 - Great Shows too short.
I saw them at St Aug, Miami Filmore - Great Shows, too small of crowds.

Now I have to pick from T5, NYE, Radio City and Chicago last month....

I can't pick, all were beyond special.  But, I would have to give the nod to Radio City, since it was the 1st time I saw the boys at a sold out show with everyone there just to see them. 

Plus nothing can top Jim running up the side during Steam Engine.

I agree:


First show's still the best.

[brn2plybal]

Feel fortunate to have seen:

T5 - Z
T5 - Evil Urges
Mountain Jam 2011
MSG NYE 2008
Opening for Tom Petty
Opening for Pearl Jam

I knew Z & Evil Urges going into MSG and was absolutey blown away.  Became a fan for life.

I got on line around 430 for the Terminal 5 shows and was able to land a spot dead center on the first balcony rail.  Both shows I got that spot.  Well my GF did and I got a poster.

Primetime location help make an amazing experience.

I would say MSG was the best "show" I've ever seen.  But Z, EU, MJ were all a blast as well.

I'm hoping either a Halloween or NYE show in NYC at this point with nothing being in the area.

My third show was one of the best. We drove up to Detroit one weekend to see them. Got to meet them after the show and got the set list. We were upfront and that version on "Run Thru" was one of the best! (there is a video of it on youtube somewhere). I have to say T5 night one and Z night were in the top 3.
