Which bootleg are you listening to?

[Birds in Hell]

A few personal favourites:

Pinkpop
Hamburg
West Palm Beach 1
St Louis
Albuquerque

[Norah]

You really can't go wrong.

[Birds in Hell]

Yeah, you can let setlist preference guide you in a way that's impossible with more recent tours.

[LetMeSleep]

Katowice 1&2
Saratoga
Verona
Pinkpop

[matt reeder]

A few personal favourites:

Pinkpop
Hamburg
West Palm Beach 1
St Louis
Albuquerque

This is close to mine. You just reminded me too that I was supposed to go to the St. Louis show that tour and my ride fell through. Ugh.

Mine would be:

Prague
Hamburg
West Palm Beach I
Saratoga
St. Louis

But you pretty much can't go wrong. Even Sacramento, the shortest show of the tour, is one of my other favorites.

[Fuzzcharger]

I just dialed up Pinkpop 2000. How about that set list. What an opening Rival>Jeremy>NAIS>MFC!

These are the best boots from 2000, imo:
Boise
Chicago
Portland
Toronto
Kansas City
San Diego

I love that Portland show so much. This tour is so good.

You just reminded me too that I was supposed to go to the St. Louis show that tour and my ride fell through. Ugh.

I've told this story before, but my friend decided a few minutes after leaving for this show that he wanted to run back home and get a heavier jacket, and when we got back to his house, there were the tickets laying in the driveway. I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

Is there a general consensus on this board for the top 5 shows of the 2000 tour? Aside from those man/ape stamps of approval.

My Top 5:

#42 2000 08 27 Saratoga, NY
#48 2000 09 05 Pittsburgh, PA
#53 2000 10 09 Chicago, IL *
#70 2000 11 03 Boise, ID *
#55 2000 10 12 Kansas City, MO

* Ape/Man Shows

You just reminded me that I should have included Pittsburgh. So my list would be:

Hamburg
West Palm Beach I
Saratoga
Pittsburgh
St. Louis

But you really can't go too wrong on most of the shows.

[WtOB?]

virginia beach, salzburg and cardiff are also great.

[Kevin Davis]

Are there any bad 2000 shows? Like, just total turkeys? I remember some of the Euro shows being a little rough, while they were still getting warmed up

[Birds in Hell]

I actually really like those somewhat shaky early shows, I almost put Barcelona on my top 5 list above instead of Pinkpop.

Up until 2000, I really enjoy the early tour shows by the band where they aren't quite locked in yet.

[VinylGuy]

Barcelona was the first bootleg i bought.

Oh, the memories.

[WtOB?]

they fuck up heaps the next night in san sebastian too. pretty funny boot.

[Kalevi]

I don't think wembley is very good.

[Birds in Hell]

Cardiff's often mentioned as one of the best shows of the Euro leg but I think it's a bit of a dud.

London I, Katowice I, and San Sebastian are all pretty rough. That Bellingham show they put out as a vault release is a pretty big dud, too.

Totally. In the break between "Last Kiss," and "Smile," Stone and Jeff go to switch instruments. Stone had been having gear troubles all night and yells, in his characteristic self-parodying fashion, "Nuthin's workin' for me, man!!" Love that.

Also, Ed tags "Love Me Two Times" on "Daughter," which I don't think I've ever heard before or since. Other than that and a decent Improv, their performance that night was piss poor.
