I have listened to all the boots..

Yes, all of them (obsessed with boots much..?)

I am putting together a "best of" mix for this tour..

and the winner is??????















Washington DC ..

not even close.. (no, I was not there)

great vocals (Eddie holds the "All I'll beeeeee" line)
Great Mikey solo.. whole band is cooking..

BTW.. the very next song on the boot "Rearviewmirror" wins as well...crisp and bouncing..!

not big fan of the rest of this boot (mostly because Eddie forgets lots of lyrics..even th opener "Hard to Imagine") but these two songs are "best of" the whole tour..

If you were there..take a bow!

    I think it was DC, the Roo had too much Boom in it. Not that I don't like Boom, it was just too much for that song for me.

    DC was good, and I think Roo is a close 2nd as well.

    Tampa. It got played as a request and crowd participation was very good. On the boot, Boom is a little more distinct and that adds a cool sound to it also!

    "Black" wasn't done in hartford..

    Tampa may be good but the boot sound quality is so poor, who can judge other than the people who were there..

    Ed had a "diva moment - hissy fit" at mansfield 1 and stopped singing "Black" at one point ..
    so that crossed it off my list (and I was there too!)

    Yeah this really isn't even close.

    Easily the best version in the last 10 years if not ever.

    after reading this thread I feel like I'm getting it rubbed in my face for this reason: 5 pj concerts attended, Black played 0 times at those shows. I thought for sure attending all 3 sf shows in 06 would solve that problem, but I was wrong. At least I did get to hear In My Tree, which is a super awsome treat. But I do love black and would like to hear it live just 1 time.

    diva moment? whaaa? did he reconvene the song, or abruptly end it?

    Sadly, I've never experienced "Black" live. Well, not yet anyway.
