are among their best. Listening to Virginia Beach show and Eddie's voice is absolutely fantastic. And the sound of the boots are great. Probably their best sounding along with 2003 and 2006.
Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

    Great version of NAIS from Virginia Beach. You can tell it's a heavy show, being that it's the first show since Roskilde.

    easily my favorite tour the band has ever done.

    i own all of the european boots, and 6 or 7 US boots. its amazing how ON the band was night after night. it was nuts. especially ed and mike... they dominated that entire tour.

    I'll check it out. I like the long Porch jams.

    Also, it's weird to hear these versions of Crazy Mary.

    Select versions aside, Porch is not the song it used to be, and hasn't been since like 95.

    Have you seen/heard Porch from recent years, especially this year? I suggest you check out Hartford from this year.

    Yes. Like I said, there are a few select recent versions. E Rutherford and Albany stand out.

    This is my favorite tour also. Been listening to the Euro shows from 2000 on my work commute this week and they sound great. They played the songs just a tad slower on that tour compared to recent years and I like that. Don't get me wrong, I loved the 2010 shows I went to, but the 2000 shows sound so damn good. Just finished Prague this afternoon. Awesome show. I really dig Timeless Melody. I wish they'd bring that cover back.

    I finally bought Touring Band 2000 since I'm in the Binaural tour zone right now. Great DVD. Better than watching it on YouTube. I want to see that video with Eddie jumping into the crowd from one of the montages.

    2000 was the last truly wonderful tour by the band. Not that they're bad now by any means, but undeniably different (and arguably less consistent).

    Amazing shows, very glad we've got the official boots.
