I only went to the Vegas show, which was not one of the better PJ shows I'd been too. Was supposed to go to LA shows but the non-PJ friend who I was travelling was quite ill so had to give em a miss, gutted!
As for best shows I've got boots of the Melbourne, Seattle and Boston shows, hard call, all good shows.

yep - bad crowd and an even worse venue. I swore off the Thomas and Mack Center years ago .

Crowd was horrible! Never a good sign when you piss off Ed before PJ even takes the stage!That's the first and only time that I fell down at a show in the mix with people toppling on top of me. Not fun at all!

Montreal 98 was an UNREAL show and I'd kill to have a soundboard. Still to this day it's the best crowd I have ever been a part of.


9/16/98 MA was great too.

that's great to hear as sometimes you never know if what you saw was as good as you think...thank's for confirming that. ...thatbeing said if you ever come across a boot of that show let me know...it would be cool to have. thanks.

Maui. Feb. 20 and 21. Faithful both nights but on the first night I really heard it.

Seattle July 21. Black - One of the best renditions I've ever heard. EV held a note near the end that was heart crushing.
We were dehydrated, sore and tired but still alive.

I'm not sure how much love this show gets on the board but I thought the Dallas 98 show was pretty damn good. I didn't get to attend :( but from the recording that surfaced and the notes on 5H I was pretty impressed.

Highlights for me particularly are
sometimes as an opener
Immortality was played
Pilate was played
In Hiding was played
Dennis Rodman made an appearance though from friends that went (said he become obnoxious).
Sonic reducer was played to end the show.
Man I wanted to go to this so bad, thank god, pj is boot trading friendly though!

I'm just curious because i live so close, but how good was the Knoxville show? did any of you all go? I've listened to the boot, but I couldn't really tell much from that.

what do you mean done by petition???
another thing i loved about the show was that they tagged Hey hey my my by neil and played baba by the who, thus exposing me to their biggest influences....i had listened to the who and neil a lot before of course, but i just thought it was cool for my first show to get such a nice little package....it was probably not THE BEST, cuz i have the dvd of MSG 9/11/98 and wow, but its safe to say that with all the mentions of each show here, THE 1998 TOUR KICKED ASS!!!!

07/19/98 - Pacific Coliseum: Vancouver, British Columbia [113m]
attendance: 14,000-15,000
support act: Frank Black
soundcheck: Not for You, MFC, Off He Goes, Last Kiss, I Got You, Hail Hail
set: Sometimes, Go, Hail Hail, Brain of J, Dissident, Even Flow, Given to Fly, Corduroy, MFC, Lukin, Wishlist, Jeremy, Daughter/(Hey Hey My My), Not for You, Off He Goes, Better Man, Rearviewmirror, Black, Last Exit
enc 1: Do the Evolution, Nothingman, Alive, Leaving Here
enc 2: Yellow Ledbetter, BABA O'RILEY!!!!
notes: Band is relaxed and playing well; however, the crowd is a little too sedate. The set is cut short with "Last Exit," Eddie inciting the crowd by doing these Vegas-style lunges towards the crowd. This all changes with an incredibly intense 'DTE' and is culminated when, during 'Alive,' Eddie walks around the stage, applauding the kids dancing in the empty seats in the back, and CLIMBS INTO THE CROWD for more than a few minutes. The band returns to play 'Yellow Ledbetter,' and are about to leave when Eddie goes over to the band members and asks them if they feel like one more, picks up a tambourine, and, yep, 'Baba O'Riley' bringing the house down.

Camden night 1.........PJ returns after many years, opening with Release in only candle light with 32,000 people.............Hard to Imagine!!

pajamaparty

LA 2, Great Western Forum. We actually showed up for LA 1, sat in our seats, 4th row in front of Mike, got ready to rock, when someone said we were sitting in their seats. Turned out we had tickets for the next night, nobody noticed until we sat down.
We were given the choice to stay, in some cheesy seats, or return the following night, we we begrudingly did.
Talk about a letdown, but the next night was fantastic. Tenacious D opened, X played a blistering set. And of course the band was tight and the music was great.

It is high on my list because it was my first show. Band (Ed) didn't seem to be too thrilled to be in Vol country that night and he made it known to the crowd.

They played a great selection of YIELD songs and threw in rare gem (HTI) which, after that show, went into hiding for nearly 7 years.

It may not have been the best one of the tour, but for my first show, I wouldn't change my experience.

Opening with Long Road was worth the 6 hour drive alone.

it was a petition by a local radio station. we were squeezed in between portland and the 2 seattle shows(which were damn good).
thats why i think the band was really having a good time,as the petition showed that everyone there wanted them to be there.
