    I'm so happy that the second night was released on vinyl in the Riot Act Super Deluxe Box.

    Would love both shows officially released for listening before I get too old. Wish they would turn over the archives to a larger more robust entity and start releasing more of their older stuff and held back stuff.

    Love riot act. Although spinning it the other day and feel like the vocals are too cranked up.

    I remember putting in a 10C ticket request for the Showbox shows and getting denied. However, I won the lottery for the 12/8 Key Arena show. That was the closest I've ever been to the stage (4th row) and I remember that the anger was palpable. Blood returned with a vengeance. Ed and Mike both destroyed guitars. I also attended the 12/9 show. Any of those shows that week would make excellent vault releases.

    Yah we had 5th row I think at the first Key Arena show.   It was a wierd one where they only got something like 1000 tickets (or 1000 pairs) so if you did win the lotto, you got pretty good seat location.

    I've love to see the showbox and key arena run released.  It would be amazing.  Not entirely sure why the Key Arena shows never got official releases.   I guess maybe because they were a standalone run instead of being linked to the rest of the tour?

    These shows are so good. Would love a proper vinyl release of either night.

    Anyone else waiting outside the Showbox those nights hoping to get in?  After about 2 or 3 songs each night, security would start hand picking people to let in the show. If i remember correctly it was 60 bucks (cash only).  My wife and i were able to get in both nights.  I've been to 60+ PJ shows, seeing them in a small club was truly special!  The thing i Remember the most was the Daughter tag.  Probably the most raw, genuinely pissed off i've ever seen Eddie in person.

    That "War" tag is intense as hell. I remember when I first got the dvd I watched that a few times in a row.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Same man. I LOVED that the 10club sold that DVD exclusive. Was hoping they did more releases like this.

    They should totally release both Showbox & Key Arena 2002 CD's in a cool custom Pearl Jam Riot Act Seattle Experience Box Set.

    This , just released it all. They can grade the quality from A to F so you know.
