So far I own both Chicago FLAC shows. WOW, what a difference from the MP3 versions from '05. I am trying to decide which shows I want to purchase in addition to the Chi Town shows. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks, Dan

    First 9 shows, and they sound great out of the gate. If this tour is like most, the next batch of shows will blow these away.

    1. Albany
    2. Cleveland
    3. Chicago 1
    4. Detroit
    5. Chicago 2
    6. Toronto 2
    7. Grand Rapids
    8. Hartford
    9. Toronto 1

    Just started listening to Boston 1.

    I can't rank them all, because I haven't heard every one yet, but I agree that Albany and Boston 2 certainly have to be at the top.

    I think I will be downloading Boston II and Grand Rapids for sure.

    Do you think it is best to download both shows from the same city when PJ plays a city more than once?

    To me it seems like show two in any city is the show to get. East Rutherford II has a great setlist with one flaw...Last Kiss. I personally hate that song but that is just me. I am hoping they come back for leg 2 and change it up some more by adding some more rare stuff.

    yea ed is in a rut, not only with song choices but where songs are in a set(same 4 songs night1 and night 2 in same spot at east rutherford)
    Let's not be negative now. Thumper has spoken

    I've heard all the bootlegs except the two E. Rutherford shows, and I gotta say Grand Rapids is my pick for top show. The first encore is a show unto itself. After Grand Rapids I say probaby Toronto 1, the first night of the tour, the anticipation of the new songs live is just incredible. And next is Boston 2. Just for the sake of Leash it ranks in the top 3 shows of this leg.

    as long as there aren't many repeats on both nights.
    as a general rule, i'd say night 2 of the same city most always tops night 1.

    Things change. They wont change unless you make them. The best way to change something you don't like, is to change yourself. So if you feel like you have a piece of duct tape on your mouth and you can't escape, take it off, speak up, speak your mind, shout it out, let 'em hear ya! -EV

    I'll rank the shows I went to. My seat location and state of mind had a lot to do with it:

    E. Rutherford 1: 11th row dead center, dream setlist, perfect show IMO. Immortality, Not for You, Alone, Footsteps, Once, Indifference, 'nuff said. Best show I've seen in years. I lucked out and met a 10C member on this board with an extra ticket. So the view, the sound, the setlist, the people around me were all awesome. This was the concert experience I was hoping for on this tour.

    DC: 27th row center, excellent sound, Masters of War, Inside Job and Present Tense blew me away. Not to mention Fuckin' Up. For an arena, this is a great concert venue. Security was cool and there were not many drunken idiots. I think Masters of War may be the best performance of any song I've seen from them. Ed's intensity and perfect delivery, Mike's slide guitar...I get chills when I listen to the bootleg.

    Camden 2: Great seats in section 100, great setlist. Wash is my favorite opener, incredible versions of Evenflow, You Are, Garden, Black. Solid setlist, great performance, great crowd. Met a lot of cool people, perfect weather.

    Albany: My birthday and first show since Philly last year. Rats, Red Mosquito, an epic Porch, and Satan's bed were the highlights for me. My 10C seats sucked. Side of the stage near Mike, I was too low so the view was obstructed by amps and cables. Couldn't see Ed very well. The sound in that venue sucks too.

    E. Rutherford 2: Terrible sound starting with Animal until the end of the main set, made it really hard for me to get into this show. I was in section 122 and I know not everyone had the same issues with the sound. Everyone in my section was complaining though. The setlist was okay but not as good as night 1, IMO. Highlights were In Hiding, Inside Job, Porch, and Hard to Imagine, but I was expecting more songs I hadn't already heard on this leg. Crown of Thorns and RITFW would have been nice. I don't think this was a bad performance, and the crowd was definitely great, but the poster fiasco followed by the sound problems put me in the wrong state of mind to fully enjoy it. Still, there is no such thing as a "bad" PJ show and I can't think of any place I would have rather been...

    I've listened to a few of the boots, namely toronto II and chicago II and while the new songs sound good, I prefer the 2000/2003 performances.. something just seems not as electric as the previous years, maybe it's the first leg kinks getting worked out.
