    Ya in your face show, my 4th of tour... great crowd... i hit the lottery myself! 10 row center... good good stuf.. The betterman thing truly was amazing and just so much fun to be a part of... especially considerin a half hour earlier ed chucked his wine bottle cross stage...

    Great set... love SOLAT glad ive gotten it twice... Reign on me is awesome... Eds voice is just unreal... comeback was a nice surprise...

    Son of a B*tch curfew tho.... one guy said it a couple pages ago... solid B+ A- show that would have been A+ with a few extra at the end and ED having the time to hang and talk a little... Lets hope band gives a 7/11/03 MONDAY NIGHT! hahaha

    LETS GO MONDAY, the last show ( screw the beacon)

    Seriously, that Betterman shit was incredible! I had 7th row and the look on his face as he tried to step to the mic was priceless!!!!! Loved it! This show was AWESOME. The set list, the crowd was great but in my opinion, the energy was down just a notch from Hartford (c'mon...I'm moving in on 40 myself and I'm not sure we all recover the same way we used 15 years ago, ya know?). Would have been great to have a couple extra songs at the end but....I wouldn't trade this show for the world!!!

    Can't wait for Monday!!! I just might have a voice back by then. Silence is key today. :)
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    Lastly, (again my opinion)- i don't think ed threw the wine bottle because he was pissed.....

    He was pissed. He threw the bottle and immediately went over and spoke with a technician on the side of the stage. Something was wrong all night and he was not happy about it... that and the military recruiters. don't think that pleased him too much either.

    I agree, I saw what went down...it appeared that he was pissed. We forget sometimes how firey Ed was/is....I don't mind pissed..it shows he cares.

    ...and why do people try to rank shows... the experience is completely subjective. you will always find people who had completely different experiences at the same show...

    yeah, it must be great when someone tells you that what you think is one of the greatest nights of your life was actually total shiat. I couldn't think of anything more fun.

    Wish i had your seats, I was sitting in the second row of uncovered pavillion seats and it was the dullest crowd I have EVER seen in my life. I was disgusted at how awful the crowd was out there. People were getting annoyed that I was belting out every song, The Hartford lawn crowd DESTROYED this lame ass Mansfield crowd. And after going to Hartford, I cant help but feel let down w this set but damn thankful that I saw the boys last night

    you are spot on. I was at the 2003 Boston III show and I thought the crowd was lame as well. I never could understand the hype. You hear a lot of Boston people proclaiming they are the best crowd. Inferiority complex.

    Philly '03 (spectrum) had a long Betterman cheer as well. You people act like that is the first time anyone has cheered for betterman.

    just because everyone on the hartford lawn had a lighter for betterman, does not mean the crowd was better, i was at both, hartford blew mansfield away setlist and band energy wise, but mansfields crowd was much better than hartfords. hartfords crowd was great, mansfield was unreal.

    This wasnt the regular cheer this was people banging on chairs and SCREAMING for 2 minutes before end could begin the "whoa oh oh oh" This was magical

    The police in the parking lot thats a different story i poured two beers into solo cups and the cops came by and told me if i sipped them I'd be arrested. And that "they're not playing games" "AND if i think they're kidding try them... they had 60 arrests at the DMB show" Lame. After Monday's show this venue can forget about me I dont care WHO'S playing there!! Other then that it was a good show my gf's first.... Let's hope they rip the roof off Monday night!!!!

    philly 03 betterman cheer could not hold a candle to last night's, 03 boston betterman was damn good too. last night's was surreal.

    yeah the cops did suck, they enforced early when people arrived to put a scare in them and then dissappeared, just let them roll through early give it a half hour, then you are good to go.

    Okay, I guess since boston cheered for one minute they are the best crowd ever. I am from Indiana, and have been to shows in MSG, PHilly, and Boston, and all of the crowds were great. MSG was the best singalong crowd I've been a part of. I just get annoyed with this whole debate. As usual it is Boston screaming they are the best the most. Inferiority complex. Sorry you aren't new york.

    why is everyone so concerned about which crowd is better? All these shows rock, it's the greatest band in the world right now, and we're all lucky to see it. let's celebrate that instead.

    I'm new to the board but would like to talk about the tailgating issues outside. In all my years of going to great woods i had never had any trouble with drinking beer out of solo cups. Within first hour of arriving i had a few cops and several security guards warn us about public drinking and even had my beer, my friends beer, and other patrons beers poured out. (bear in mind most of us jammers are now in our late 20s - 30s) I was relegated to drinking in the back of mine and my fellow jammers cars. (am i 18 again?). It put a bit of damper on the pre-jam ceremonies. If i could offer a little word of advice to everyone going to the 2nd show to please bring a non-seethru container to drink out of such as a water bottle. (not complaining 'cause i still had a blast) but i just want to give everyone a heads-up.

    Last nights show was fantastic. I found that Hartfords show provided a heavier set-list (comatose, brain, leash, blood, porch, f'up) But mansfields crowd really made it the better of the 2 nights. Can't wait til monday - PJ has never disappointed.

    first off, the band played 25 songs. they don't play 35 every night out.

    and, as for it being a "standard selection", sure they didn't play any songs for the first time this tour, but hard to imagine? i'm open? faithfull? low light? i got shit?


    I think both points sum it up...
    The set list was fairly stellar. Hard to Imagine as an opener...I've been to 15 shows and caught that once (Calgary) and always nice to catch a Low Light and Off he Goes.

    I am not a fan of Betterman, but WOW...the cheering! That was insane!
    So, yes great set...but, very short

    And to the other point....Yes, they can not play 35 songs every night...but, I guess one gets spoiled in the North East...

    The 2003 Riot Act Tour....Mansfield night 3 and MSG night 1.....haha, spoiled me rotten.

    I'm thinking that Comcast has asked the PoPo's to crack down on the parking lot drinking because they want people to go inside and buy their $8.00 beers! Think about it, it's more of a liability to serve an already intoxicated fan and legally they have to turn them away. But if you force people to get their groove on in the venue, it generates more revenue.

    Don't get me wrong, it's a shitty practice! I went to Tom Petty two weeks ago and it wasn't anything like last night. People we getting caught left and right last night as they did a few nights ago at DMB!

    I'm sorry guys, but the crowd from last nights show was 10x better than Hartford - and Hartford did have a lot of crowd energy!
