so I've owned this for quite a while but it's a pretty rare edition so I've never even touched the discs.  I finally bought the regular set this week so I could experience it. 
Might be my favorite Live PJ release ever. They're on fire.  Ed's voice is terrific. Very tight sounding sets.  Severed Hand is so underrated and so underplayed

Any of you guys who made it to these shows consider yourselves lucky.

    I still have a bit of sunburn and heatstroke from those shows!

    They were amazing shows and times heatwave and all.  My 10c seats were amazing.  Opening w/ Severed Hand was a surreal experience.  I only hope Pearl Jam will play there again.  It will be amazing.  Nice post OP thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    The intro to Severed Hand.  Was that a recording?  It's extra long like they're waiting for everyone to come on.  Either way it needs to open more shows.  

    Id love a bluray of these shows just for the visuals.  Incredible venue.

    Aren't these CD's better quality than the rest of the boots? 

    I agree, really memorable shows. Accoustic set is a nice treat too

    Think I was on a road trip when I first heard 6/23/06 come on the radio. The band coming out that hard, not letting up, with that setlist, at that venue...mannnn! It's gotta be a top 50 PJ show in my opinion. 6/22 was a great show as well but I think a bit outshined by the following night. Wish I had been there, it's the f'n gorge and they delivered the goods!

    The 06 shows were great, but the '05 show was on fire.   My favourite PJ show I've ever seen, it was amazing.   Opening acoustic(ish) set.  Set was full of lost dogs.   The weather was perfect at the '05 show (wasn't a nuclear furnace.. lol).

    I moved to Edmonton a few months before the '06 show, and I still had the tickets.   Drove all the way from Edmonton to the Gorge for those shows.  All the way through Alberta, BC, Idaho, and West to the Gorge :)   Dirty Frank was worth all that.  Still can't believe they played it.

    Its pretty cool.  It's book form with plastic pages.  I was always scared of scratching the CDs with my car player so I never touched the discs.

    Interesting. Never really paid attention to the variations.

    Retail version looks way better IMO. Discs sound amazing. Wish we got all of the vault's like them.

    Its fun reading old threads with the weather reports.  Man 102 degrees is no joke LOL

    I thought it was hotter than 102?  I thought it got Vegas hot, like 118 or something.   It was isaaaanely hot :)

    We got there early to get a poster (right at doors) which I think kind of backfired, because baking in the sun for 3 hours waiting for the band to play, that sucks your energy.. lol

    My thermometer was reading 116. Super fucking hot! But it was a great weekend, for sure. We took off during the day to cruise around in the car with the A/C on, and then went wine tasting for a while before heading back and jumping into the furnace.
