So many vivid memories from that show. I remember feeling like I was having an out of body experience when Ben Harper came on stage during Daughter. It’s not their best tag, it just felt really cool and special that night, as did that version of Indifference with him.

I remember, sitting in the 300-level, which at that time was the second to highest level before the renovation (I think it is 200 levels now), and just watching in awe during Evolution. It looked like the crowd was gleefully beckoning the end of the world.

really enjoying the Chop Suey vids a lot. The HD is great, and the mix is fucking awesome.

II havent seen then in a while, and they were really cool, very underused by the band around the album came out.

I'd say it looks more like the original SD is upscaled with some software to HD instead of scanning from the original negative. Or maybe it's just my display but to me it doesn't look very good.

Far from an expert on these things but would agree the skin tones to me look unnatural. Still totally acceptable quality and a great "find" all these years later.

Oh yeah absolutely, didn't mean it like that - it's great that they released this!

wow. this REALLY excites me. 2003 has been my favourite tour of this band, bootleg wise, for some time.

i hope they release more if they got em. imagine if they're sitting on a live riot act in full at chop suey.

i don’t know that I’ve heard Ed sing the “so close” line in a lower register before. I like it. Also, Mike’s playing at the end. So good.

more of this.

I like this album more and more as time goes on. It never quite seems to rise in my rankings, but always feels like it should manage to somehow.
