I've heard an awful lot of shows from 13-14 now and whilst there are many enjoyable performances of it, Milton Keynes is the first where I feel Mind Your Manners (on the boot) stands shoulder to shoulder with the album version.
Nailed. It.
"I get into a state of consciousness that I can't explain. It is about feeling and not thinking. I get positive chills and insight into things that I can't get to any other way. It is Healing of the Soul." - Mike McCready
Final show of an epic Euro tour; Pendulum opens again. I caught this 4 times on this tour, I think here and Berlin are my favourite versions. Wash follows to make it's only appearance of the tour, Jeff's bass so cool throughout. Nothingman and Black is simply a beautiful pairing and you'll be hard pressed to beat an opening 4 songs to a show. The band then crank up the gears with blistering versions of Go and Brain Of J (first time played in England I believe). Ed has a quick check with the crowd before the pace continues with Comatose, Save You and Hail Hail. Mind Your Manners is on a different level, easily one of the best live performances of it the band has done to date. After Lightning Bolt, we get the first performance of Nothing As It Seems in the UK for 14 years. After Sirens, Ed recalls a story of when the band came to England to mix Ten. Let The Records Play and Spin The Black Circle are paired together again to good effect with Rearviewmirror bringing the main set to a close.
On a perfect summer's evening, Yellow Moon is a great choice to open the first encore. Simon Townshend joins Ed onstage for his song I'm The Answer. At the time I thought it was a strange choice and I maintain that view listening to the boot. Footsteps and Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns is just simply perfect; this was probably the greatest 15 minutes of any gig I've attended. Ed then plays a fine lines of Believe You Me from his Bad Radio days which leads into Better Man. From the little snippet played, I'd certainly like the band to revisit this song at some point. Save It For Later is tagged onto the end of Better Man. The latter part of the encore is intense with the trio of Jeremy, Lukin and Porch.
The second encore begins with a cover of Rain, with Dhani Harrison joining in on backing vocals. Daughter is next. Before tagging in War, Ed makes a passionate and angry plea about bringing to an end war and bloodshed around the world. It's extremely powerful, very reminiscent of the Showbox speech back in 2002. Which makes it all the more sad that 12 years later Ed is still making these speeches. On the back of that energy, Blood seems the only choice to follow. Alive and Rockin' In The Free World (with OFF! and Ray Cameron) bring the show and tour to a euphoric end.

#1 Lisbon '00
Of The Girl starts off the first show of the 72 date World tour. It's a beautiful rendition, easing in the crowd before launching into Evolution and Animal. Red Mosquito makes an early appearance in the set and with Corduroy, it's a solid start to the set. A trio of Binaural numbers are next - Grievance, Light Years and Nothing As It Seems. All three sound good but Light Years and NAIS are different class. Absolutely loved Given To Fly, more slowed down than it's played nowadays. During Faithful, Matt's drumkit gives. It's clear to hear and fair play to Matt continuing to battle through the song. Ed goes into Untitled while the drumkit is fixed. It's still not fixed by the end of Untitled so instead of playing MFC, Ed goes into Last Kiss. A minute in and Matt's back! The slide guitar in Thin Air is absolutely beautiful, a real delight to listen too. The outro to Daughter is extended but there is no tag. Evacuation is by far the worst performance of the new Binaural songs. After forgetting lyrics on Wishlist & Evacuation, Ed does it again on Immortality but there is beautiful singing from the crowd to help him out. Black is simply epic. Go brings the main set to an end.
It's a high tempo opening to the first encore with Last Exit and Jeremy. Small Town lowers the tempo briefly; Alive brings that tempo back up, the outro is different than what we're used too now - it slows down and Ed adlibs before building back up again. Pretty cool. Alive closes the encore.
The guys come back for just one more song - a loose Yellow Ledbetter.
A nice start to the tour.

Long Road opens and feels really stripped back and stark compared to how it's played now. On Breakerfall and Corduroy too, I'm really not liking the mix for Matt's drumming; it's what I'd describe as a bit tinpot, a bit tinny. Unfortunately the mix doesn't get any better through Hail Hail, Animal and Even Flow; at times the mix is too much and the drums are too prominent and distracting, there's a point in Hail Hail when the guitars are completely drowned out by the drums. Nothing As It Seems and Light Years together is a good pairing though Ed does forget some lyrics on the latter. It's also a bit of a botched intro to Insignificance, which gets it's first play on the tour. During the Daughter outro, Ed tags REM's 'The Wrong Child'. It's ok but certainly not one of my favourite Daughter tags. Rearviewmirror is brutal and I Got Shit means both Merkinball songs get played. Thin Air and Black back-to-back is delightful. Evolution is on form and I prefer this performance to the Lisbon one. Alive closes the main set.
Grievance starts off the first encore and is followed by State Of Love And Trust - Ed again missing some lyrics. Wishlist and Small Town are also blighted by Ed's forgetfulness. He even remarks during Small Town "did I fuck up again?!" An energetic Go closes the first encore. The band eventually return to the stage and play Last Kiss. As in Lisbon, Yellow Ledbetter closes the show.
An OK boot, nothing more for me.

Seattle '14. Living it all over again. First and only time in Seattle. First and only time in GA. Plus I got to go to the "tent" on the way to the Arena.
Phoenix 9-13-1995 Don't remember where it came from, but it is a pretty decent audience recording of this show. You really get a sense of the "old school" energy. At the end of "Habit," you can hear Stone say "My guitar stinks like shit!"
Correction: Found a video of this song, and Mike sets his guitar on fire, to which Stone says "THAT guitar stinks like shit!"
Decided to go through the 2000 boots again but this time in order
Same here, I'm on show #14 tonight, Prague.
I did boots #49 to #72 in order a couple of years ago but never the full tour. It's going to take a while!!! I'm thinking I'll do just the Euro ones first and then take a break - I listened to all of 2006 last year over the space of 4 months and in the end it was draining!

Anyone know where I can get the FLACs for this show?
I have all 06 boots in a mixture of mp3 and FLAC, but this is one show I only have in mp3 that I want the FLAC files for.
Long Road opens and feels really stripped back and stark compared to how it's played now. On Breakerfall and Corduroy too, I'm really not liking the mix for Matt's drumming; it's what I'd describe as a bit tinpot, a bit tinny.
