    Great Show, The Brain of J-STBC combo is unmatched in any other bootleg. The energy and setlist are amazing. Only MSG2 from that era can compete.

    Grossly overrated.

    i agree the songs before those are great too. so it goes Can't Keep, Breakerfall, Brain of J, and Spin The Black Circle. what a great way to open the second set.

    It gives me chills when Ed screams at the beginning of Breakerfall.

    The acoustic set is beautiful. Also one of my favorite versions of BLACK.

    Great show. The acoustic set alone makes it worth it in my eyes, and is one of the bootlegs I listen to most.

    Just got the '03 Mansfield shows the other day (thanks jmac!), and they are all really good. This last one though is most definitely one that will be in the car for a long time.

    Mindblowing acoustic set.

    The rest of it? Starts well, but pretty meh.

    Man of the Hour from the Big Fish soundtrack sounds so beautiful....
    If music be the food of love, play on.

    One of the best PJ shows i've ever attended... the acoustic set is worth it alone... All Those Yesterdays and Tremor Christ... the night was just so surreal... very beautiful.

    It's an amazing set, i'm happy it was released in retail.

    I wouldn't say it was beautiful. The show was absolutely amazing, but it rained all day, and it was about 55 degrees and misting during the acoustic set (although I was a dumbass and had just a t-shirt on). But it only got colder as the night wore on.

    Again though, the set(s) were amazing. Although Sleeter Kinney totally ruined the songs they joined in on at the end (fortunate son & 1 other). I deleted them from my ipod.
    Been to lots of shows. I love shows...

    The acoustic pre-set is worth having for sure. The opening few songs are great too, but after Tremor Christ i find it fairly forgettable.

    It's remembered as a classic because it was the closing show of the 'experiment', but it is nowhere close to being their best performances. Far from it if you ask me. Eddie sounds sloppy as hell.

    Latwer in the show they definitely wore out. They made some mistakes. The 1st & 2nd shows were absolutely incredible, and the acoustic set blew my mind. About midway thru the final set they did seem to start to just try and get through as many songs as they could.

    Still if you listen to Mike's solo at the end of YLB you can catch a lick from "More than a Feeling" from Boston. There were a number of other things that made this a very memorable show.

    I agree, the first two shows are phenomenal and i listen to them regularly. And i completely understand that the band were tired, i know i would be!

    I guess for those that went to all three shows, it was something special. But from a simple listening perspective, the third show doesn't do anything for me.

    I think it's great and I've heard them all. If you wanna talk overrated, let's discuss State College....

    Definitely! Very sloppy show. Band sounds like they're having a blast so that makes it a fairly fun listen, and Satan's Bed is hilarious.

    yeah if they took the first set first night boston, second set second night boston and the acoustic set third night boston, now that would have made a killer 3 disc set....but the 7/11/03 show doesnt get nearly as many listens as the first 2 nights do for me....still a good buy, its fuckin live pj for fucks sake!
