They always brought it when they were on the road with Sonic Youth:)

Is that the show they said at one time was one of the best shows they ever played?

Yes & it's really good and does have a reputation of being one of the all time greats.
I've yet to hear it all the way through; only pieces when it's been on the Sirius channel.

Stone mentioned it, yeah...performancewise it's definitely up there with the best.

While Mike was playing the outro to YL, Matt and Jeff gave each other the biggest bear hugs, like they had just won the world series. They were all locked in that night.

Oh wow, forgot those shows were at the Bill Graham, that place is tiny. Was the floor GA too?

Yeah, those were GA shows! Billboard listed the attendance at 8,810.
BTW, the Portland show that followed San Francisco III is also great. Good stuff!

ok, lets give SF3 a go this AM.

Oh, and it looks like there are a good amount of boots on Archive.org.

News to me.

Just listened to the Sacramento and San Bernardino 2000 shows this week. Man, I wish i could have attended these shows. Such odd setlists, the first night is really good, the band sounds tired the second night, but the slower song really are done well. You'll never see them do shows like this again sadly.

Haven't listened to any PJ in ages, thought I'd jump back in. Started with Melbourne '98. Pretty good tunes to match a Friday afternoon in the office by myself.

Gonna have to pull out SFIII '06 now with all the hype above!

Im pretty much in the same boat, haven't listened to much in ages.

I dug SF 3

That Red Mosquito was everything I wanted it to be!

LA Forum II 2006. 6 songs in and so far this has been an excellent start!

Vault 8, Missoula 2005. Bad show, but man, I wish the whole 2005 tour was mixed like that (and 2003 as well while we're at it:))

West Coast 2006 is god-tier. Vegas 2006 is a show I probably could have gone to but didn't, and it haunts me. I listen to it regularly - it's not the best, but I generally listen to the rest of the tour from there like once a year. That loop has some really, really good shows. Matt is turned way up in the mix because Ed has a scratchy throat, and it's a nice change of pace.

2014-01-24: Melbourne. During Nothing man, at the break right before Ed sings "she once believed", some yahoo in the silence shouted it out.

My first PJ show.....it was amazing!!!

Listening to side b of Tokyo 2003.

Last Kiss is so sweet...also Breathe! and Black is stellar.
