    Ottawa was a top tier show as far as I am concerned. Bad ASS.

    I was at that show and that setlist fucking rocks. You know, the funny thing is that neither of us had a great time at that show because it was the night after Montreal and the Montreal show blew are minds(the energy was great, everyone in Montreal seem to be there for PJ, and we were right across the street from the venue)
    i agree. people talk about ottawa a lot but montreal was one of my top concerts ever and i actually enjoyed that more. between the crowd energy and light years... montreal was a special night for me, for sure.

    I was a casual fan at the start of the show.

    And now I'm here...

    LOVE this show. I went up to Canada with my brother and two friends, hit Montreal and Ottawa. I'd say this is one of my favorite shows ever, just a sick setlist and we had a blast in Ottawa, pretty fun city. Great memories.
    You want a fun time, come to bluesfest this summer!

    I thought Ottawa was a much more solid show. Montreal was good, but in my mind Ottawa topped it.

    Still ranks as the best show I've ever been to. What an amazing setlist. And who can forget Mike going out into the crowd to do his solo during Alive? That and Don't Gimme No Lip were some of the many highlights for me. And it was probably the longest PJ show I've been to. I also went to the Montreal show before. The crowd in Montreal was definitely better, but the setlist for Ottawa takes the cake. I'll take a killer setlist over a good crowd any day.

    I wish you could get the '05 tour in FLAC....probably the best official bootlegs and they're MP3 only. What a waste.

    It was the opposite for me.
    I was in Montreal but so tired and couldn't enjoy the show that much...Plus, I wasn't on the floor. I still had a great time, but Ottawa ROCKED! It was amazing and that show kinda *shadowed* Montreal for me. I still liked both shows, but Ottawa is probably in my top 3 shows I've been to. :)

    Stone singing for the first time...a memorable night and it was so funny to see him up there with the microphone, totally shy and all, haha. And Black was amazing. And and In Hiding...:o oh my...
    And I remember my ticked buddy was so grateful for getting Sleight of Hand...that whole night was so special to me.
    Oh, I totally missed the preset in Montreal and I'm still regretting to this day cause it was Don't Be Shy :(

    We also doubled up on Montreal and Ottawa and I was exhausted myself and the traffic was tough getting there- we weren't on the floor either (on Stone's side 2 row up) I remember thinking how tired I was and that the guys were just kicking my as# with how they were rocking out. I have been listening to this show on my ipod lately remembering the weather was icky and all the special moments- Stone singing as you mentioned and Ed and Jeff doing Bee Girl...
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    awesome, awesome show. I had no voice by the end of the night and it is still my favourite boot to listen to!

    I (along with the help of Ben Harper and a couple friends) were the ones that got Wash & Don't Gimmie no lip played at this show.

    Good times indeed.

    I remember the tag, I remember looking at my friend and just smiling with the knowledge of wow, we're getting something special.

    I agree with the others on the setlists for Canada - they were friggin' awesome.

    We must've been somewhere close then! I was also 2 rows up I think, on the side. Totally different from being on the floor, but was cool to watch the show from that perspective. I'm still mad at my self for leaving my camera at the show that night...
    I listened to it the other day, I remember pretty much everything, unlike Montreal when I was so tired, I can't remember most of it :o
