Hard to pick just one year, but I love everything they did between 94-96.

Late March / Early April 94 is unbeatable. July 2003 is excellent too.

If you're going with 03 you've got to go with April.

Denver and Uniondale took place in April. Buffalo and State College did not.

Surprised to see so many people listing '03. It was a good tour but in my eyes clearly not a career peak.

The band can have multiple peaks (and troughs). The most compelling question is when their final peak - creative, live, whatever - occurred, because that's when the diminishing returns begin.

Final live peak was Europe/Pacific 2006. Arguably it carried over to 2007, but too hard to make that call without official boots. Diminishing returns est. 2008.
