Which bootleg are you listening to?

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

Meanwhile, over at the Pit...

I thought 2010 sounded the best. You could hear the crowds.

Makes sense, since the crowd is probably more interesting to listen to than the band these days.

[VinylGuy]

it was fucking amazing....i had the luck to be there and i dont think i ve seen than energy before...sans Perry and Ben.
Stone just rocked out all night, and the whole band was powerful.

[Angus]

Red Mosquito with Ben Harper.

I saw that 3 years ago I think at Arras festival and to be honest, I had prefered if they kept Ben Harper away from it. But then again, I'm not his biggest fan.

I'm painting my girls bathroom and pulled up 2 nights later in Columbia. Not the tightest, but a great setlists and good energy. 4 No Code era songs + Education + I Got Id!

Two great ones. The first has the live debut of "I Got Shit" while the second is one of the best audience recordings ever, of a really fantastic show.

Sounds good, I'll have to dig that one out sometime.

I listened to the first half of the Albany 2003 show the other day. Still jarring to hear a show openned with I Am Mine.

[Norah]

Better than opening with Small Town.

I was playing Little Rock 2003 today. I drove 12 hours to see them in at that show. Spent the weekend wandering Little Rock, it's a pretty cool little city.

Oh! The bootleg! Above average show for sure, they were better here than they were a month earlier in New Orleans. The crowd was excellent and it comes across in the boot. I got Sleight of Hand at this show! I haven't listened to much of the 2003 tour recently but I remember thinking back then that Eds voice wasn't as strong as it used to be... ironic looking back I guess.

I'm as tired of Alive as the rest of you and I remember I was over the song in 2003 as well but it was great in Little Rock. It was the only show I went to where the crowd did the "yeah" chant to the solo. Awesome. The show ends with Baba and the arena lights went on for this song but a strange thing happened after Baba ended. Mike played the opening riff to YL but that was it. I'm not sure if it was aborted because of curfew restrictions or what. I always wondered about that. Not sure if that made it onto the boot though, i forgot to listen for it.

Another thing that stands out in my memory was the moments my then girlfriend and I shared at this concert. We'd done the New Orleans show together but the crowd kinda sucked at that show and there were some guys near us that had an american flag and tried to make a spectacle. However we had what I can only describe as a magical experience together at the Little Rock show. We were the leaders of our section for sure. Our excitement and enthusiasm spurred on the people around us and there were smiles all around.

*edited to add: They opened with Arc, which I don't really care for personally, but I thought it was cool I got to see one of the shows that Ed did this with.
