    Benaroya gets my vote, as I find late at night it's a cool record to listen to, of a girl is one the most underrated songs in there catalogue and wish they'd open more shows with it, Mansfield is cool and would have loved to been there, got the bootleg and is a marathon set list. Shows the diversity of songs they have to choose from, MTV unplugged is great, but Benaroya shows the scope of there songs, particularly immortality and parting ways.

    Benny Hall for me. The entire set from top to bottom is so rich sounding.

    I still get goose bumps every time I hear Black from that show. The crowd taking the entire last line is mind blowing.

    I prefer the Mansfield acoustic set to all of Benaroya, though that show had some highlights for sure. I don't think I ever even bothered putting Mansfield 3 electric set on my mp3 players, just the acoustic set. I also don't have a problem with Sleater-Kinney.

    Parting Ways is better on Benaroya, but in all honesty, I prefer the less hooting and hollering Massatuckie crowd.

    Benaroya would be better if it was mixed better. More up close and intimate. Not as much crowd and echo. Sound just like it says on the title "hall" (and not in a good way)

    The main set has some legit highlights. Check out the ripping version of 1/2 Full.

    Also, encore 1 is crazy. If they played that as an encore 1 today people would go nuts:

    Breath
    Habit
    Down
    Mankind
    U
    Black
    Jeremy

    The best/wost thing about Mansfield is that there appears to be zero video of the show and very few pictures. I would die to see some video of that show.

    This! There were signs that this show was being filmed by the band, and camera's were all over the place (not just for the screens). I believe that they ended up choosing MSG for the video release over Mansfield 7/11/03. This and the two Boston Garden shows from '94 are my holy grails...(until they play Fenway)...

    I was shocked that no video from this show made it into Cameron Crowe's film. Thought for sure we would something in there.

    Fingers crossed it is being held for the first ever Video Vault release!
