    Saw them in Pittsburgh, and I have never seen a performance that good...live or on DVD. So, my question is. Unless I catch them on a very rare off night, can I expect them to be that good next time around? Or what? Didn't know if Pittsburgh was above and beyond what they normally were or what. They sounded just so tight, the crowd was insane, and they sounded amazing.


    I had the same experience, and over the last 21 years I've seen easily 200 concerts by pretty much anyone you can think of. I went to NJ1, not a show thats gotten a ton of love on this board (I can't imagine why, it was completely ridiculous), and still think it was unquestionably the best concert Ive ever seen, and BY A MILE. And speaking of the Dead, I saw them 30+ times and loved all of 'em but they never came close to this.

    They are always that good. The crowd isn't always that good, and that makes a difference. Nicely done, Pittsburgh :D (and that's coming from a lifelong Clevelander, so you know that wasn't easy to say)
    wow, that had to hurt. anyway, the crowd is what made that the greatest concert i've ever been to. i've never seen anything like that. hopefully now we'll get the well deserved respect that we should. pittsburgh is always one of the best shows of the tour, it's time we get philly/boston/ny type respect. i couldn't hear ed during comatose the crowd was so loud. it's the only boot i've heard where i can hear the crowd singing almost as loud as ed a lot too.

    They are not always that good. Fargo and St. Paul 03 prove it. Most of the time they are firing on all cylinders though.

    The fact that they are THAT good is what keeps bringing me back to their shows time and time again, even if I have to go into debt for it.

    Never saw a better live band in my life.
    Probably never will.

    Glad you enjoyed it so much.
    Try a Boston show sometime.........you won't regret it!
    Ditto. I don't know about Boston, wish I could have been there, but 20 shows later, there is no better band to see live. We've seen lots and PJ is the tops. We're seeing them 7 times this year and can't wait! :)

    After my first show, I made it a goal to try and expose as many of my friends to it as possible. So far I have gotten seven of them to a show (including the Gorge in a couple weeks), and every time they leave in awe. One of my friends has bailed on me three times now (financial reasons). I keep rubbing it in because he's such a fan of music...yet he hasn't seen the greatest live act of all time yet. Once I get him, he'll be locked in too.

    Here's to Butch and Tammy...meeting me at the Gorge for their first PJ show. Whoo Hooo! They only bought tix for the first night, but I bet they stick around for night two after they see what's bound to be something special.
