Yes, another question about boots. Sorry.
Listen, I look boots for the listening experience. That said, while unique set lists are awesome, to me it comes down to:
1) quality of sound of the boot
2) quality of Ed's voice (range, etc)
3) energy/passion in Ed's voice and in band's perfomance
4) energy in crowd as detected on boot
5) cool improv's that showcase Eddie's voice and bands versatility
I am in no way a guru of PJ but when I hear Save It for Later tag and Breath at MSG 98, or Why Cant i Touch it on Boston 03, or It's Okay Jones Beach 2000, or Black Ottawa 2005,I think stuff like that is the shit. All of these shows seem to do that when listening to the boot even if you didn't attend the show.
So I just want to scour the earth (or internet) for like 10 awesome boots that have this whether that means ebay or official boots or whatever.
If you guys can help distill this down for me with one or two really personal favorites that seem to have this, especially hitting on items 1, 2 and 3 that would be awesome. I don't care if its from 1992 or 2006.
Thanks

either one are well worth getting (imo anyway)
I recommend this one!
Boston 3- 2003- Open with an acoustic set and continue through some rarities and killer stuff.
Atlanta- April 3, 1994- Possibly the best show with the early line-up
Definitely look into those- all three are considered "essentials" by most fans, and they all fit your criteria 1-3 as stated above.
Hope this helps!

personally, 1/14/95 and 1/15/95 are a couple of my favorite PJ shows. The soft songs are VERY soft and dark, Jack barely hit the drums on Indifference. Black is eerily somber, and the transition to a song like Blood or RVM and Ed's rage in those songs can give you shivers. Both of those shows were pro-choice benefits, and Ed speaks about Dave leaving and Neil (who also played those shows), and abortion, and at one point, he says "you should all thank Jack Irons, because he saved the life of this band," and when I think about how close we were to losing everything PJ post-'94, it gives me goosebumps.
get those shows if you can.
"In your case, I'll check my brain at the door and we'll start even, okay?"
Have you thanked a taper today?
all time best show. if you dont count gorge 05
