    Not to be a Debbie Downer here on your amazing 10 year celebration but do people really need to start these kinds of threads?

    TOO LATE! (What the hell do you care, don't read the thread then...)

    Cheers to you and anyone who was in the audience for this epic show at Great woods in mansfield, Ma.

    This is one of my top three bootlegs of all time, Ed's emotions are all over the place, crying during GTF and Dissident, Yelling after "Go" (the famous quarters rant).. joking before "PT" about "lawn orgies"...

    Mike is on fire, his solo on "Black" remains one of the all-time best...he plays behind his back (SRV style) during the ALIVE solo.. Awesome Improv before "Habit"...
    this whole show was great!

    Matt is knocking the hell out of his drum kit...

    Had to miss the Boston tour dates due to the impending birth of my second daughter (Born 9/29/98) but I can always listen to the boot..

    Good call!

    Better than...

    "Hey, about that poster sale"

    "Official come play my backyard thread"

    "Poll: What song is your piss break?"

    Seriously, what's a good thread topic to you, Deb?

    Great show, but when I went to the landromat the next day I had no change left for the machines. ;)

    LMAO!

    good one!

    my favorite line in the aftermath of the "quarters incident" is when Ed changes the verse in "SOLT" (next song played after "the rant") to "Help me from... someone over there!" ..

    It does not compute that this was 10 years ago.
