Listened to this some the other day and forgot how good it was. A very emotional show for sure, but a special one.
Really enjoyed this show. With all that happened at Roskilde, and what I can only imagine what must have happened leading up to the band getting to the point when they could actually walk out on stage...it just blows my mind.
Incredible emotions, and the love acknowledged by Ed at the end of the show that the band received from the audience...wow! After hearing this one again, especially the band's performance as good as it was, I'd put this one in my top ten PJ shows of all time...considering, most of all, the significance of their future as a band, being able to go on, not only on that particular night...but, for as long as they have!
Amazing night for all that were there, I'm sure of that!
While the band did not give that show the ape/man logo to signify their favorite shows of 2000, clearly it meant a lot to them. Ed acknowledges this in the 2008 va beach boot. VA beach 00 is a quiet boot, filled with more somber songs than usual. I agree, it's a very good performance and one pj fans should give a listen. It's overlooked far too often.

I actually did not enjoy this one as much as I hoped. It starts out well, but the middle of the main set feels so unenergized and abit sloppy at times. I've listened to the second night in West Palm Beach 00 a lot here lately. It's a bit of a sloppy gig, but full of energy and a loose vibe that I enjoyed. I didn't get that with Charlotte 00. What's your take?
Now Charlotte 2003, it's an energized gig that delivers for the most part. Hopefully Charlotte 2013 will too.

I got a bug to go back to 1990 and start with the first show at the Off Ramp and I'm going to listen to every show (including Interviews) that I have in order until I get to current...I'll be at it a while for sure. I am still in 1991.
I tried to do that once, I never got through them all! Good luck!
How far did you end up getting?

Excellent start to this gig with a Binaural double-header of Of The Girl and Breakerfall. Hail Hail, Severed Hand and The Fixer follow before Low Light appears. 6 songs in and I'm thinking this is a great start to the gig! Marker In The Sand is next and it is not a great performance, I think it's Mike's guitar that has problems throughout. He's back on form for Even Flow. At this point the set has flowed nicely but the next 4 songs don't really flow together - Unthought Known>Small Town>Got Some>Given To Fly. Immortality is great and a first performance in 2009 for Satan's Bed follows. Ed flubs part of Amongst The Waves early on and Evolution and Blood close the main set, though Ed's vocals aren't particularly great on either song. Unfortunately the 2nd half of the main set doesn't match the 1st half.
Ed & Jeff open the 1st encore with Bee Girl, followed by Just Breathe. Ben Harper again joins the band for Red Mosquito and I do love this version. Daughter is next and Ed tags a brief Sympathy For The Devil and then WMA at the end of the song. Supersonic & Spin The Black Circle complete the encore.
2nd encore begins with I Believe In Miracles dedicated to Johnny Ramone. A very good Crazy Mary with Mike & Boom riffing back and too a highlight. Alive is next and Yellow Ledbetter closes the show.
This would be a highlight show for me if it wasn't for the 2nd half of the main set.

Solid boot and show - one of my favorites of 2010 and of the NE tour from that year. The band and Ed are definitely into this show as Ed makes perfectly obvious throughout the show.
Unthought Known starts things off and certainly isn't my favorite choice as an opener, but it works before going into Corduroy to follow with a killer solo from Mike. Set staples DTE, Got Some, and Severed Hand keep things going into a great combination of Dissident (always nice to see this make an appearance) and excellent version of Low Light. Even Flow is played in the consistent middle spot in the set, which is followed by an absolutely superb version of Nothingman with a great sing along. Other highlights of the main set are great versions of I Got Shit, and a really good combination of Satan's Bed followed by Lukin toward the end of the main set. Johnny Guitar in an usual spot closes the main set, and it actually works pretty well.
After Just Breathe to open the first encore, it's fantastic with Speed Of Sound, SOLAT, the OTOTO Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love which sounds like they've practiced it for years and Mike can nail playing Van Halen, and a blistering Porch to end the first encore.
The Fixer, Crazy Mary, Alive, Indifference, and All Along The Watchtower are played in the second encore to close the show. I think it would work much better if they played AATW before Indifference to close the show, but works well ending the high energy show with a high energy song.
Definitely a show where Ed is a little more sentimental and talks about love quite a bit during the show. Seems they always enjoy playing in Hartford and always have great shows there. One of the better boots of 2010 I think.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. I think not "sloppy" but almost uncontrollable energy, not unenergized by any means. As the next day after VA Beach, it's coming through the speakers to me as, "Hey, we CAN do this!", and the band is on such an incredible high from being back on stage that you can hear it in every instrument and in Ed's voice.
One of the best versions of Hail, Hail and Do The Evolution that I've ever heard, coupled that with a great setlist too of one great song after another! (except for Last Kiss, that is)

Gotta love Ed breaking the mic four songs in.
One thing that bums me out about the beginning of the show is Mike's guitar was low during and on the boot. A shame. I definitely wanted to him shred the solos on "Corduroy" and "Severed Hand."
"Low Light" was one of the highlights of the night for me. It would have fit even more perfectly if they played it at the Meadows. Sun going down and them playing it would have been amazing.
The speech before "Nothingman" and then them absolutely nailing it was great, especially with the crowd singing along to it.
"Gonna See My Friends" closed the main set, not JG, but it was toward the end of the set.
Nothing can beat the trio of SOLAT-ATBL-Porch of any show I've heard. I'm still wondering what the UConn women had to do with ATBL.
I only wish the singer from Band of Horses didn't come out for "Watchtower." He ruined that version. Otherwise, great and fun night. Can't wait to do it again in two months!

Frantic start with Why Go>Animal>Worldwide Suicide>Got Some before going into Tremor Christ, which makes it's first appearance in 3 years. Force Of Nature then gets it live debut and it's good. Definitely an under-rated track from Backspacer. A quick lull through Small Town and Unthought Known before Even Flow. I don't know if it is the mix on this track but Mike's guitar sounds really quiet during it. Ed forgets the lyrics again for Amongst The Waves, and there is a nice little intro/improv before launching into Rats. Big Wave is another to make it's 1st appearance of 2009. Again the guitars sound a little off during Down, especially at the start. After Down, Ed mentions that they have found out Backspacer went in at #1 and it's been a while since that happened for them. He notes they didn't give a shit back then and don't give a shit now! But with them now having kids it maybe means more and they can say to their kids "Daddy's number 1.....and don't you forget it!"The FIxer and Porch close the main set.
Just Breathe and The End open the 1st encore, this being the best performance of Just Breathe on the tour so far. Again, Ben Harper joins onstage for Red Mosquito. Black and Life Wasted close the encore.
Encore 2 begins with State Of Love And Trust is followed by Alive and Rockin' In The Free World completes the 1st of 4 night stretch.

It's an interesting thing how we all analyze and hear boots differently. I'm trying to listen to the Charlotte 00 boot now and I'm still hearing/feeling the same issues I had before. For instance, I personally don't hear how Do the Evolution is a good version at this gig; Mike and Stone are slightly off time with one another with the intro and Ed's voice is more strained than usual (especially for 2000). The guitar work on Habit, I believe by Ed, is almost terrible and hard to listen to. Ed forgets the words to both Wishlist and Betterman back to back, slightly messing up the guitar intro for Betterman as well. It just seems like an average, maybe below average boot to me. They seemed tighter in VA Beach the night before. :?
This is what makes this thread great, the differences in how we take in shows. I've noticed a lot of praise for the Fargo gig in 2003, but I thought it was one of the sloppiest gigs I had heard. If the energy level is really high and noticeable that the band is in a loose mood, I can sometimes handle a few more mistakes than usual. I just cant feel that with the Charlotte 00 gig. I listened to the Charlotte 03 boot today, a few mistakes here and there but it sounds so much more energized than what I hear in 00.

Another good example of a show that felt lackluster to me. Nights 2,3,and 4 were much better. Night 2 in LA was my favorite. Crowd in LA 1 was sort of lackluster, and several mistakes were made lyrically if I remember correctly.

Ed forgets the words to both Wishlist and Betterman back to back, slightly messing up the guitar intro for Betterman as well. It just seems like an average, maybe below average boot to me. They seemed tighter in VA Beach the night before. :?
This is what makes this thread great, the differences in how we take in shows. I've noticed a lot of praise for the Fargo gig in 2003, but I thought it was one of the sloppiest gigs I had heard. If the energy level is really high and noticeable that the band is in a loose mood, I can sometimes handle a few more mistakes than usual. I just cant feel that with the Charlotte 00 gig. I listened to the Charlotte 03 boot today, a few mistakes here and there but it sounds so much more energized than what I hear in 00.

Another good example of a show that felt lackluster to me. Nights 2,3,and 4 were much better. Night 2 in LA was my favorite. Crowd in LA 1 was sort of lackluster, and several mistakes were made lyrically if I remember correctly.
