  • I forgot to mention the Jones Beach 2000 shows as well.

    I only have soundboards pre-2000 so I'm at the mercy of whatever shows happened to be broadcast or released.

    Thank you for your recognition of Halifax 2005. That was a fantastic show. I traveled to that show, got 4th row center from 10C, thank you 10C, and it was amazing! I love listening to that recording. Other favorite official bootlegs...Bonnaroo 2008 (Hard to Imagine and Betterman!!!) and Atlanta 2003. I'm pretty sure Atlanta '03 is the one with Crown of Thorns on it. Love that tune! I'm also partial to Atlanta '94 because it was an awesome show. The recording I have of it is some crappy German import and I need to search out a better recording. Most of the recordings from '94 in Atlanta were from the other night they played because a radio station did a simulcast of the whole show. Hard to find good recordings for April 2nd.

    07/17/1991 - New York (best Breath I think I have ever heard)

    03/04/1992 - Utrecht, Holland

    08/14/1993 - Sunfest (I think this was the first set from this tour that ran well over an hour and they nailed it)

    New Orleans '93 - (The entire stay in the big easy is an incredible recording. Ed's voice never sounded better to me)

    04/03/1994 - ATL - (Obvious)

    04/08/1994 - Fairfax, VA (The first show after everyone found out about Cobain and Ed says some good stuff. Awesome Rockin' in the Free World)

    06/20/1995 - Red Rocks commmmon

    06/24/1995 - San Fran (The Famous show where Ed gets sick and Neil covers for him). --- I hope this year is better!!!

    07/11/1995 - Soldier Field (Up there in best shows they ever played)

    09/29/1996 - My favorite boot. I was unfortunately to young for this one when it happened. But Randalls Island is directly across the river from my Middle School and I can visualize what this place must have looked like and Im sure it was as good as it is known to be.

    09/11/1998 - MSG!!!!!!!!!!!! Two Feet Thick says up until this point this was the best show they ever played. I believe it.

    09/16/1998- Mansfield (Although I dislike Boston just because of the Red Sox, this show has some of my favorite versions of the well known songs just because of Mike. Holy shit was he god that night. Great Save it for Later tag on Betterman)

    Jones Beach '00 (The entire weekend. I wish I was older to have been there)

    10/22/2000 - Las Vegas 10th anniversary show

    11/06/2000 - Seattle. (Legendary. Although if I were there I wouldn't have had a good time cause Ed hinted that they were not sure when they would play again, would have freaked me out)

    Too Many 03 shows to list.
    05 Sounded good but nothing I have really been really taken back by.

    06/03/2006 - NJ (my first show!!! They played 34 songs that night. I was sold)

    07/15/2006 - San Fran (I think the best sounding boot of the tour)

    07/22/2006 - Gorge (Great set list)

    Italy 06 - Best European stay they ever had. The DVD is proof.

    12/02/2006 - Hawaii (Fuckin awesome show. Again, maybe my favorite because this was my birthday and they sang Happy bday to Matt during this show. Could you imagine them doing happy bday on yours! The thought is overwhelming)

    06/25/2008 - I would go ahead and say this was one of the top 5 best nights of my life.

    Well I had to leave a few out haha. But here is my list
    PJ
    6/03/06 6/24/08 6/25/08 6/28/08 8/28/09 10/30/09 10/31/09 3/13/10 5/15/10 5/18/10 5/20/10 5/21/10 9/3/11 9/4/11 9/2/12 10/18/13 10/19/13 10/25/13 10/22/14 9/26/15 5/1/16 5/2/16 8/5/16 8/7/16 8/20/16 4/7/17

    HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody mentions this one, but if you wanna talk about PJ on fire, it's can't miss. Try to track down the dvd boot, from this one. It's the most energetic I've seen the boys and that is counting Boston 2, 2008 when Stone sucked a cow's teet.

    As a thread mentioned yesterday, the show in 2000 was pretty badass, too.

    You are 100% right Speedy...Amazing show.

    ...and I'll tell you something else for free. All those naysayers that think Ed lost the aggressiveness from his voice in the 2003 tour really need to listen to Habit from this show....

    fixed

    The whole show, Ed is just a ball of energy. The rest of the band, esp Mike, picked up on it. Blood is the best of the tour, and Gimme Some Truth is just the bees knees and the BALLS at the same time.

    I've been laughing for about 5 minutes at that.

    I don't have any bootlegs to post, I just like the fact that I was at Pistoia (and the other Italy shows), and a lot of people think they are amongst the best.

    Nah. Hartford is good but nowhere in the same league as Buffalo 2003, Saratoga 2000, etc...
