I listened to this the other night. That encore is so good.

I agree; there's a great run in the main set, too, but the show is sooooooo talky (I don't remember it being that night). I think Night 1's the pick if you want to just listen to one or the other.

3/17/1995 - Melbourne II. After all these years still a top 5 PJ bootleg for me, and I imagine a lot of others.

Pinkpop 2000

Rival.

06/20/95 - Red Rocks Amphitheater, most creative main set ever?
03/13/94 - New Regal Theater: Chicago, Ed's voice sounds so good.
03/29/94 - Bayfront Arena: St. Petersburg, amazing show with an unbelievable version of Porch.

Listening to Atlanta '94 since everyone's been talking it up. I love this version of "Jeremy". Furious vocal performance.

see, what is the point of this? "only I can watch this and no one else! And I probably haven't watched it in ten years..."

Constitution Hall 98- Goddamn this a great version of Act Of Love

Everyone has a price.

Damn straight. I think this is my all-time favorite bootleg.

East Troy 2000

I don't know if I've ever sat down and listened to this show, which is odd: Chicago 2000 is one of my all-time favorites, and during that show Ed talks about East Troy (which took place the night before) a lot. This is a special show as well, you can tell from very early. Great song selection.

Just put it on, Of the Girl as an opener. The mix of these 2000 boots are is like a warm blanket of nostalgia. Love how up front guitars are. Just a bit more bass and they'd be perfect.

Yes!

A few months ago, inspired by my millionth listen of the Porch from the Atlanta 1994 live Dissident "single," I went and listened to the improv section of a lot of Porches spanning lots of years, but mostly 1994-2010.

A few stood out, but none more than the one you mention. It's amazing in several different ways and completely different than the Atlanta one from only a week later.

Help me RM. I have two downloads available form the 10C. I'm leaning towards Inglewood, CA 1998 and Las Vegas, 1993. I'm also thinking spending $5 more dollars per download for the ALAC versions.

Is this the way to go RM? Are there other boots I should consider? I see they have all the 2000 ones... I don't have Hamburg, Germany and hear that is one of the best from the Euro 2000 tour. Should I get it? Bellingham 2000 from the vault? So many boots and I'm only getting two. Help!

Inglewood 1998 is great. Hamburg is ok, but I'd recommend Prague, Cardiff and Oslo. I'd pass on Bellingham -- nothing too exciting on that one.

Both excellent shows so why not.

The US shows are way better than the Europe ones. The first US leg is loaded with killer boots.

As I mentioned a few posts above, I had been listening to random bootlegs from throughout the band's catalog, but today I just said "fuck it" and put the whole 2000 Europe tour on my iPod.

I'd have gone with NA1 but not a bad choice.

In my opinion (based on what I've heard, which is most not all), they didn't really hit their stride until about 15 or so shows into the Europe run. The earlier gigs are a little rough. But from about Katowice II onward -- hoo boy.
