for the first time.
I'm exactly halfway through the second song and I've already decided. this might be the best shit I've heard in a long, long time.
something about the energy. you can really hear the crowd. it's hard to describe. but if you have this boot, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout Willis.

This stuff can be fairly subjective, but there's definitely something about this show's energy. It must have been the crowd.
That's got to be every PJ fan's worst nightmare ... hearing ed say "One more?" and the first strains of YL playing nine songs into the damn show.
for the least they could possibly do
yeah, the crowd is overpowering everybody on Marker. and that's a pretty good sign.
ps -- I also got Camden 2. It's not bad. The version of Parachutes is good-to-great. the beginning, i think the album version is better, then ed seems to find himself and toward the end it gets better than the album version. he does mix-up a lyric, as well, if that bothers you. I'd say buy the boot, if for no other reason than it's only 10 bucks.

your glee mocks me.
mocks me!!!!
*turns and cries like a little girl*
looks like an awesome show.
you need to retrieve this thing. now.
for the least they could possibly do
Sweet ... I think I will get Camden 2 next.
As for Ed, he sang nonsense for the entire second verse of MFC in Cleveland (another good show, by the way). It didn't bug me one bit.
Part of the man's charm ...
yeah, it wasn't that bad ... or even noticeable if you weren't paying close attention.
He replaces the "further back and forth" bit near the end with a reprise of "nothing else cuz when we're dead ... "
that's all.

Ohh its worth the wait Scottie. That crowd was ON FIRE. I am proud to have been a part of that crowd. Ed was truely blown away.
He even said just before ledbetter "Grand Rapids...who knew???" lol
yeah, you guys sing well
for the least they could possibly do
I think every show kicks ass, but right now I am really digging cleveland.
have you seen/heard the encore for this show?
also, it's not totally about the songs played. it's how they are played, and more importantly, the vibe of the crowd and whether it comes across on the boot.
i haven't heard anything like GR in a long, long time.

Also after Life Wasted, you hear two different people say "That fuckin rocks" followed by "You guys fuckin rock".... Add to that, Parting Ways,Around the Bend, and Hard to Imagine played spot on, and you have the best boot... Anyone that says Boston II was better is just talking shit.
And of course, they played til midnight and almost no-one left early...Packed house applauding the band even after Ledbetter.
maybe they should, ahem, "mix up" the 10C tickets more often
for the least they could possibly do
That is what I hear...I alwys pass on Ten club tickets because I go with a larger group....but...many people say it had a positive effect. Heres to a 3rd leg and show in Dallas so you can have your own boot/memories.... We all should get a chance to have them.
shiiiiit ... I ain't waiting for a dallas show that may or may not happen. I'm going to the two Denver shows and all three in SF next month.
holy crap ... next month. just hit me. can't wait. I think the SF shows may be epic ... three nights in the same city, a 7,000-capacity venue. Imagine the possibilities

Frisco, GeneralAdmission... you will defintley be at the best shows of 2006...and probably the best shows (or least the funnest) since 96.
Only a minnor issue:
Comatose seems to be defected. After the rif intro goes directly to "..in a vacum" and it's obvious to my ears that is cutted. Anyone noticed that?
it's not defective...he wasn't singing...he was distraced by stone if i remember correctly. of course, the night is such a blur that ir's hard to keep everything straight.

Nope it is not cutted, it sounded that way live, I believe Eddie just forgot to sing in the microphone at first...
And re-visiting the show again, I have to agree, it was a great show!! One of the best Ive been to. The band was on, the setlist was killer, and the crowd was great! And it wasnt even a sellout, which was ok cause PJ seem to play better to 5-10K people. They also seem to do better shows on Fridays.
I just started listening to this for the 1st time myself (finally)!!! Yes, even before I heard it I was convinced the energy here would be off the frickin charts. The "mix-up", the set....so much HOLY SHIT energy in the air.
Life Wasted just ended now...
Was that a STONE chant?? :eek: AHHH!
Damn, now I love this show even more.
Aww shit...SEVERED HAND baby......
\m/
hehe Mel, and I really did say the exact same thing the night I was reading along/freakin the hell out over the set...
"Grand Rapids...who knew???"
EXACTLY!
MAJOR, MAJOR LOVE this show.
*goes back and looks at the EPIC OVERLOAD OF BEAUTY ENCORE*
:eek:!!!!!
Uh oh though....
Ooops. I guess Ed is a shit talker.
Whatever. So far these are the 2 shows I've drooled the most over. Agree with you slightofjeff, the heavenly SF trilogy is also destined to be EPIC. Not to mention the back to back bliss of THE GORGE. REally...we have so many more EPIC shows to come.
