1992 Mesa Amphitheatre (PHX) and Lola (PHX). I spent a shitload of time on the phone to get tickets to the 95 tour stop in Austin, but nothing. It was later cancelled anyway. I saw them in ABQ and PHX in 98.

this was a pretty amazing band for the first ten or so years of their existence

I dont think thodoks is in the mood for a real talk here but...

I think this is partly why lots of fans feel let down/disenfranchised etc... (Count me in on that group as a late comer)

They set the bar so goddamn high....No way they could have keep that going for so long.

Damn them and their not caring ways anymore

Ament is still a badass though :peace:

I think the 2000 shows were actually the best, but that may have more to do with the state that I was in.
The 1992 PHX Lola show was awesome. Ed and Cornell played on a side stage after PJ's set. But I was so polluted, I'm not sure how much I actually enjoyed it.
The 1992 Mesa Amphitheater show was $10.

My friend called me immediately after he got 4 tickets to the Chicago 1998 show to offer me a ticket, but I wasn't home. So instead of waiting an hour for me to get back, he tells one of the other guys going, "Sure, go ahead and bring your dumbass neighbor friend that none of us have ever met. Kevin wasn't home when I called to offer him his ticket, so he probably won't be able to go anyway."

I also had a bit of drama with the No Code tour that can be read about here:

It's amazing I've ever made it to a concert in my life.

Maybe I should change my answer to 98 since my favorite album is Yield, the band was at its peak, ect.

I think part of the original scenario was that it's going to be the current incarnation of the band we're going to be hearing, not whatever version existed at the time that corresponds with our chosen time period.

That said, I'm changing the rules. Rather than cutting years off the end of their career, I'm cutting them off the beginning. 1994-present. That's my answer. Get rid of all the warhorses from "the classic years." That's a show I'd want to see.

I dunno. I think I'd rather hear "Alive" than "The Fixer".

Well, I like "The Fixer," but apart from that, I think one "Fixer" a night is a small price to pay to get them off this nostalgia trip that currently occupies about 10 setlist slots per show. How many tired setlist staples would you kick to the curb just by eliminating 1991-1993?

Even Flow
Alive
Why Go
Black
Jeremy
Porch
Daughter > Brick in Wall > WMA
Animal
Rearviewmirror
State of Love and Trust
Elderly Woman
Yellow Ledbetter

I like all those songs but I'd love to see a show that didn't feature any of them.

Thanks for trying to understand my somewhat hair-splitting point. I also meant, because of the point you made, for the answer to focus more on enduring catalogue and less on 'how great the band were playing' (allegedly) in whatever year.

With your revisions, I'd pick 1994-2006.

Daughter can stay but that's it.

I'd keep Animal and Jeremy (just because I love that song, not because it isn't played out (because it is)). The rest can take a long long break.

That being said, I think the Vitalogy through S/T years is the best answer.

As far as answering the question at the top of this thread literally, I've always been a big fan of the '95 setlists. That's not an indictment on the songs written post that era by any means, I just think the sets really had a nice flow to them around that time.
But shit, if I was able to be a young person at a '92 concert, and experience the pits and the incredible energy of those shows, I could die a happy man. Pinkpop '92, dude, that shit is incredible.
