most of the world had forgotten about PJ during this time period. I remember going to Irvine #1 and the girl at the TC booth offered me free lawn seats for the next night. That was cool. I don't think that happens anymore. PJ tix are a lot harder to come by. Its almost as if PJ is back in style.

the band referenced in Pearl Jam Twenty how the fans helped carry them through this period of time well really Binaural through 2005
I hit six shows on the '03 tour (Mt. View, Irvine 1 & 2, San Diego, Vegas, and Phoenix) with different friends at each stop. I had a blast with great friends and saw some great shows. :-)
The Seattle Shows were in December '02, but it was for riot act, so I'll count those. Anyways the two Seattle shows in '02 were ok, but the Vancouver '03 show was better. None of the other '03 shows compare to the two '05 shows I saw (Gorge and Vancouver back to back). Those two shows kicked some serious ass The little '05 tour is right up there with the Yield tour for me.
I'm looking for FLAC or good mp3 from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil - 12/04/05.
Anyone?
2005 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | Apoteose December 4th
2011 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | Apoteose November 6th
2013 São Paulo, Brazil | Lollapalooza March 31st
i remember tampa not being sold out in 03. most of the back of the upper deck empty.i couldnt believe it . vfc in toledo was sloppy with ed leaving the stage and neil playing with pj for an hour. buffalo 03 absolutely amazing. from bring a girl up on stage to hold his lyric book to just the whole vibe. was just one of those nights that turned into a 3 hour show, where back then that didn't happen much.
First saw them in 2000 when I was twenty. Can't believe how fast it's gone. That 2005 tour did feel pretty damn special. It was just such a weird time between albums and playing different cities. I was lucky enough to see them at the two Borgata shows and those are still my greatest of all time. 2005 bleeds into 06 for me though because of how special the shows my friends and I saw were. Secret Irving Plaza show (meeting Clive Davis as he shared a jelly doughnut with me! Who else was on that Tower Records line in NYC for 48 hours??), Letterman, Storytellers... So fucking lucky.

You shared a jelly donut with Clive Davis, that is freaking awesome
2003 for me is a tricky tour, I have to be in a correct mood for it. I tend to enjoy the usually well mixed set lists, but at times the guys were pretty sloppy and Ed's voice sounded different that tour. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't. Still a worthy tour for one to listen to, especially to hear great versions of Riot Act songs.
2005 on the other hand is one of my personal favorite tours. So much energy with the band always seeming to have a ball. Love Eds voice that tour and the Canadian sets were awesome. London, Thunderbay, Hamilton, Halifax, Montreal, and Calgary are so good.
Agreed completely re: the 2003 tour, however the 3/3/03 Tokyo show is an all-time favourite Bootleg of mine. 2003 was also a great tour to "follow" on the official Board, through sites like Five Horizons and in reading/listening to other fans' experiences. There was a lot to get invested in.
I attended two shows on the 2005 Canadian tour, but admittedly have only listened to the Boots from those concerts once apiece in all the ensuing years.
"Somewhere in between / There and here / I got lost / I got scared..."
For 2003 I saw the Seattle '02 shows and Vancouver '03 show. They were decent, but I thought the '05 Gorge/Vancouver shows were much better.
Therefore the 2005 tour was better than the 2003 tour IMHO
God that Gorge/Vancouver back to back was so much fun
I want to go see some Gorge shows so bad
I know its insane how much they neglect that beautiful place. I really thought last year was gonna be the year with DMB not there labor day weekend. Now I wonder if it ever will again.
"Well, I think this band is incapable of sucking."

it's such a shame to not, it would be great to go camping with other Jammers
Seems any show that opens with LBC always turns out to be a good one...Adelaide 2/16/03 for instance.
7/1 Bristow is an underrated show from 2003. Mike is nothing short of interstellar here. They start slow, Corduroy is funkier than usual and the solo on Even Flow is just straight up nasty. Mike was really in tune with his effects and was all over the place. I think some of his best playing was in 2003. EF/NAIS/Cropduster/1/2 Full is really the meat & potatoes of the show. Heavy encore with DTE/Spin/Blood/Why Go that starts right into the riff. Know Your Rights and Rockin' sound better than usual for whatever reason. Just a solid show that flows nicely. Give it a listen.
