I still recall being out in line at Penn State to pick up 10C tickets when the 10C guys came walking around with a garbage bag full of the showbox DVD.
I pulled out the Showbox DVD the other night for the first time in a good while and MAN DOES IT KICK ASS! Really great performances. I even like it that there were a few stumbles in "Thumbing My Way". Keeps it real. And once the band gets cooking, it really cooks. I dug PJ early on for their career- the flailing energy, wildness and intensity- but this is the period where they really peaked for me and it's still my favorite period (and R.A., still one of my very favorite PJ LP's.)

2000-2003 is gold, my friend, gold I say. Both albums and tours were perfection. Incredible songs, NAIS, Of the girl, All or None, Cropduster, You Are, Sleight of Hand, I am Mine, Rival..

Haha I'm From Chicago and I got tix to these shows with plans to propose at one of them (Soldier field was our 1st date)..in the end leading up to the shows I decided not to. I didn't want to get down on a knee during even flow, propose, then start jamming again...i popped the question at Merymere Falls which worked out much better, she said yes. The shows were kind of dull, no beer or liquor sales at the key per the band' request??? Wtf??

I might have misunderstood, but was Eddie suggesting giving dog shit to the guy from Chile? That was bizarre...
At least the guy from Chile didn't have to wait 12 to 15 years for a South American tour.
Happy Birthday Taylor! If you were 12 back in 2002, you're 27 now!
It's kind of funny. I won all 3 pre-lotto lotto's I entered. Seattle I '02, Groundwork 2001, and Gorge '05.
