MSG 1 was one of my favorite concerts of all time. The setlist was right up my ally, the boot sounds great, the crowd was completely off the hook, Mike was on fire, Indifference was awesome, the whole thing was just awesome. I saw four shows right in a row and this was the third and it really was the stand-out for me.
MSG I wouldve been a lot better for me had I not been to Bonnaroo; the crowd energy was definately the best from the four shows I went to.
But I have to go with Hartford, Roo, MSG II, then MSG I for the four I saw.
I heard DC and Columbia were sickk too

From what I've been told Boonaroo, Hartford, and DC are a must! But I'll admit to ordering all the boot CDs...now if I had known about my possible Ed concerts ahead (ching, ching) I may not have. Its all good though!
i had the most fun at hartford. but the MSG's were really bad ass too.
I wasn't there for the shows at MSG, but the setlists looked pretty unspectacular. Nothing that really stood out from the rest of the setlists for the tour.
I think the best show this year was Bonnaroo. Hartford looks like it also had a great setlist but I haven't heard the boot yet.
It's not a location thing. I really enjoyed DC. I thought Mansfield 1 was ok. In fact I hate the venue, and the place was full of the stereotypical people you claim to love so much about Boston.
In the end, it was just an amazing show. I think the setlist was unique and my style. Hard and Fast.

Mansfield 2 was just off the charts better than the others due to the setlist and just constant rockin.
shock
