I think vault 3/6 are far better.

As a stand-alone setlist, Benaroyal Hall isn't spectacular. People go ga-ga for this because it's colored, numbered, limited edition and for charity.

I completely disagree and I think you're looking at this setlist with current setlists in mind, rather than how good this was in 2003. Lowlight and Around The Bend were super-rarities, first Masters of War since the early 90s and debuts of Fatal, Man of the Hour and acoustic Lukin and Miracles. At the time people went crazy for this show and the Santa Barbara show (TOTD) reunion and this was a really exciting and unique show to release the following summer.

You could be right.

I would bet many fans have this as their number one listened to live show. It has nothing to do with some limited vinyl-thing. It's an amazing show – from setlist to perfomance to the sound of it.

I don't have this on vinyl, but it is easily my most listened to bootleg. This album is so great for long drives. It's also great for sharing with new listeners. Super cool vibe. Wish I could pick one up for the original price!

Not sure why this won't separate my comment, but it's the one below.

Yes, agreed! I always put this on when I'm coming home with the kids late from some event. They're out cold by the third or fourth song and I get to listen to audio nirvana. Amazing show.

I actually do think it's spectacular as a stand alone bootleg. I couldn't care less if it's coloured, numbered, or limited. I would love for them to release it again on black vinyl and wrapped in a brown paper bag. I think it's a phenomenal show. I think it's so good I actually spent money on the CD, which I NEVER do, since I can't afford the vinyl.

It s not even top 25 bootlegs for me, Never has been never will. I think it s a way overrated show due to the limited vinyl and it is all acoustic. I can't even remember the last time I listened to it.

Even though this auction is being put on by Tenclub for charity, it will set the new standard for sealed Benny's!

It shouldn't really "set the standard" since whomever buys this will be likely someone who can write it off as a charitable donation. I can't say 100% for sure as I don't know US tax laws, but I am a lawyer in Canada, and if I was to buy this from a Canadian Charity for say $2000, I would get a tex credit such that I would only pay about $1000 for it. In the end, it seems like a win-win for PJ and the buyer, as the buyer could get it for slightly less than market value while donating to charity, and PJ will get funds for the charity. In my mind that's a way better scenario than paying say $1200 on ebay to someone who originally bought it for $50 (or $350 at the 2013 POP at the Showbox).

I agree with you McGruff. Many people who hype this release are the ones looking to make a buck. There's some great acoustic versions on it of songs, but I haven't listened to it in years. Enjoy the music everyone

I paid $825 for mine, sold other records and posters to get to that amount. So really not sure how much I really spent on mine.

Oh I did the same- sold mystery vinyl color pj20 for 750 and dropped 150 on benny. The game has to be played if you intend to own this thing.

And to think I came across one of these the other day at my local record shop and dropped 20 bucks. Had no idea how much it was worth.

No it won't.

People that have these aren't too inclined to sell anyway, and now.......they will have no desire to sell for anything less then $1,600.

Less than the retail price, huh? Hell of a find there.

Exactly what I was thinking.

A great show no question. If I take 5 bootlegs to a desert island it would be one of the five. That doesn't mean I don't like 5 other shows more than it, but just that it is incredibly different from other shows. While I used to collect all the bootlegs, lets face it that they play a lot of different songs but they play them the same way every tour. I don't get excited for a Wrigley boot where 30 out 32 songs exist on 300 other bootlegs. That's just me.

Anyway, I will say that Ed is a better singer now because of his solo tour and listening to him sing on Benaroya it is like he is a bland, emotionless singer compared to now. I don't mean that to sound harsh because it is a style choice and not saying he didn't care, but just saying he has improved significantly.

Of course a charity thread would get turned into a conversation about how much people's shit is worth. Greed amazes me sometimes

Songs I don't get... Slow Lukin always upsets me. That song is meant to be angry, always...

I wouldn't even sell mine for $1600, so you can imagine how hard they can be to get out the hands of PJ fans
