    That's one of the best versions of "Better Man."

    This was my son't first show, he was 14 at the time. He's now been to 15.

    That is incredible! He's got me beat by three shows even though I'm double his age.

    Great memories of a great show. Got the tix , Section 301-R 9-S 5 & 6, as a biirthday gift. Stood up the whole show like I always do, much to the chagrin of several in my section, and had beer thrown in my direction ( it missed ) as a result. From the first strains of Crazy Mary to the last strains of Yellow Ledbetter, it was two and a half hours of heaven on earth.

    It was also my first day of sobriety. I was seeing my favorite band and didn't want to get blasted, my usual state of being when not at work, and either waste time in a beer line , a restroom line, or risk a DUI afterwards. Best decision of my life. 5 years later and still sober. Thanks PJ for being that good. I guess I gave up one addiction for another.

    amazing day and show. I remember the weather being absolutely perfect - like 75 and not a cloud in the sky - i also remember it being the first good day like all month that year. I just remember April being such a lousy month weather-wise that year then the 28th came and the weather was perfect. I think that is part of why the crowd was so damn good that night. Everyone was in a great spring time mood, the beers flowed and went down so easily in the tailgate, then PJ came out and tore it up right from the get-go with Crazy Mary. Just amazing energy that night. Been to 15 shows and nothing has come close to that crowd and that night. And who can forget Ed's awesome Dr. J story - 'his hand just kept going and going and going....'

    2 best shows i have EVER been a part of...

    this one though, from the perfect weather (stark contrast to today), to the eagles announcing they resigned brian dawkins, to the tailgate, to the amazing show----wow. if one could draw up the perfect day, i would have to say this would be definitely be right up there....
