    I've listened to both of these version so many times and for personal reasons Jones is my go-to (and I would argue a better vocal, a bit more focused and slightly more enthusiastic crowd, of which I was a member!! / 4th PJ show) but that Virginia Beach performance (and the great YT clip) is just so raw and emotional.  You can almost see Ed break down as he is introducing it.  Seriously powerful stuff.  The more recent versions (I've been fortunate to a see a few) are also amazing but man, these 2000 version are just straight up legendary.  Agree with @gregoryield - my favorite PJ moment.  The crowd eruption / sonic boom at MSG II / 2010 after Better Man intro pretty indescribable as well.  Best band ever.

    I was at this one and that moment gets me choked up every time. I was so happy that it was later included in TB so we could relive the magic. Go damn...20 years ago now. How the fuck did that happen?

    I was at the 2000 Jones Beach show. It was amazing. But I agree that the Virginia Beach version of It's Ok was incredible. I have that version in my collection.
