Oh - now that I've grabbed the ones I needed I'll gladly share the store's name & the web address where I found 16 of these & the Chop Suey dvd very reasonably priced, lol :
hi-fihits.com or Hi-FiHits - they're an awesome looking brick & mortar store in Upstate NY. Looks like they even have a bar. They have a lot of '00 boots as well.(26?)

Driven To Tears just made me pogo in the yard and my cat looked at me like I'm spazzing out
'03 was a harbinger of things to come with the covers, but damn- there were some really awesome songs added to the catalog. Plus, a lot of Vs. & Ten material made a comeback I got lucky & caught the return of Why Go in Bristow , woohoo.
Really digging the raw energy on this St. Paul show -

I love Champaign and Noblesville. Check out the lyrics to Ledbetter from Noblesville. Pretty funny stuff.

Listening to Nagoya - I love how it's so easy to hear EVERYTHING on stage with the Japan shows.

This has been driving me crazy (not really). I don't know which show (thought it was Philly), but they played Spin the Black Circle, and where Ed sings, "Pull it out, paper sleeve, oh my joy...," instead of "only you deserve conceit, he sings, "I fucking hate CDs."
Does anyone know what show that was from? I've tried about 5-7 shows where they played it, and still can't find it. I'm positive it was 2003.

Man - I can only imagine the excitement during the 1st break at Mansfield 1 when Ed announced *the experiment* - I'm legit jealous of you guys/gals that hit all 3 shows.

Thanks to the invention of the internet, I learned about that, and within a couple of days convinced my friend to drive to Mansfield with me and get tickets for the third night. We got seats where it’s outdoors but in front of GA there. I knew that given they had only played 50 songs or so over the first two nights we’d be in for something special on night 3. Same friend drove from MSG to Mansfield, and then after Mansfield drove also to Hershey with me. I probably still owe him for gas and tolls...

Awesome story -
The Cleveland this show has been pretty much flawless up through Daughter so far. Even got "Does Anybody Remember Records?" at the end of STBC. Daughter was gorgeous

"1 finger makes a big difference, just to clarify" KILLER show.

Wow. in 2003 We were in NYC at MSG 1&2 when news came of the 'early set" at Boston 3 and a buzz when through the crowed (before the MSG2 show) We (girlfriend at the time, now wife) had to change our plans to get back to Boston earlier to make the early set. We brought LONG TIME internet friends with us that we had met on the street. They slept on our floor and went to Boston 3 with us, then we all drove down to Hershey for our final show of the tour. AMAZING 2 WEEKS.

The US History teacher beside me was playing CCR's Fortunate Son and it brought me back to 2003. Those lyrics felt so poignant on that tour and I'm glad I caught a couple great versions.
