What a gem of a show. Was still tired from both Chicago shows and figured this show couldn't compare. Boy was I wrong. The 1st Encore was unbelievable!!

    I think this is still probably best show I've seen. That first encore was a thing of beauty!

    Now that the 2006 boots finally showed up on Apple Music, I listed to this today. I had always heard how great the show was, but I was blown away. Awesome stuff.

    Time flies by doesn't it? I don't think the band was even going by a setlist. They seemed to make it up as they went along. I remember them huddling many times to decide what they were playing next.

    Was anyone else here at the bar after the show singing small town at the top of their lungs? I remember everyone in the bar singing the entire song. Remember that kyle?

    Great Show. Almost as good as the DeltaPlex show.

    It's definitely one of the best shows I've seen to date.

    The re-distribution of 10C tickets left a lot of people upset, and you had to appreciate their frustration (speaking as someone who benefited from it) , but allocation from the front row starting at 130,XXX completely changed things around. The crowd was insane.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    "Me knowing the truth, I can not concur."

    Wow, ten years ago......where has the time gone? I remember going to Founders Brewing Company after the show. What a great night!

    Was my 3rd show... version of HTI was the best I've ever heard. I could have sworn I bought the boot leg but I can't find it anywhere... anyone here be able to help me out with that boot? I'd it available for download somewhere?

    I truly think this show gave the band a jolt of energy for the rest of the tour. Watch Yellow led better on youtube. They didn't want to leave the stage. Jeff sitting on top of the amps will be etched in my brain forever.

    It's growing up just like me

    Such a great show! Top five-six shows for me for sure. Hard to pick between Grand Rapids and Moline...
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I've still got Ed's pick he threw out after playing Can't Explain in the Pre-Opener. It was a great show for sure.

    I'll never forget it, my buddy and I held up signs for Satan's Bed (sorry to be those guys!). Ed saw us, ran over to Stone, did a quick change up on the spot and played it for us. Just so many magical moments in the show. MMJ killed it. "The Experiment". When Ed said "Are you kidding me?" it was because the crowd was going absolutely apeshit, it was amazing, getting goosebumps thinking about it.

    "C'mon, beat Chicago!!" Love it.

    This show holds a special place in my heart. It was the first time my wife and I saw PJ together.

    HTI, Crazy Mary and Alive from that night are still the peak of all of the shows I've seen. Boom and Mike trading solos in CM gives me chills when I listen to the boot through headphones.

    Thanks for the memories, PJ!
