    PJ20 night one, opening notes was the loudest I've ever heard it. Second place was Kansas City, 2003, during Release. You know which part...

    4/28/03 was so unbelievably epic. I've been to 30 shows. This was #1 overall and #1 in crowd performance. The old Spectrum was rockin' that night! I was a Junior in college. 20 years old. Damn...haha.

    Was anyone here at the 2006 Barcelona show? Of the 25 or so shows I have been to (all in Europe and Australia) this one was easily the craziest and loudest. 
    I barely survived on the floor.. Several people around me fainted, it was a rough crowd. For the encore I had to find myself a seat. Totally exhausted! 
    I will swallow poison

    Only thing i can add at this point is that i’ve been to many NBA playoff games in various cities.   This crowd was louder than anything ive ever heard.  Sporting event, concert, etc.   It was LOUD.

    I see that Nugs has this show on their streaming service. Does the crowd shine through on the boot?

    Such an amazing night!!! Can't believe this tour was 17 freaking years ago.  
    that was such a fun tour. i got to do 6 shows. amazing times.  will be blasting this boot this afternoon.  Crazy Mary to start is still one of my favorite songs on any bootleg.
    I did 11 shows that tour with only one dud (Hershey).  
    That version of crazy mary was insanity!!!!
    I was at Hershey, not a good show in fact it's the only show I have seen from PJ that was subpar.

    The greatest performance of Crazy Mary (and the most unexpected) that ive heard.  

    That had never opened a show before.  It was insane.

    let's bring up something good.  Now 20 freaking years since this awesome show.  Still in my Top 5 shows 20 years later.  Will be playing the  boot later today.  The first notes of Crazy Mary are so awesome.

    I can't believe this was 20 years ago. Easily my favorite PJ show I've been to. It was only my second show so everything still seemed "new," the crowd was on fire, and it was by far the best seats I ever had a PJ show.

    wow 20 years. what a great day. I just remember being there early and walking around. blue skies. beautiful day. then 5 vs 1 in bullies with PJ management watching.
    had to be a top 5-10 show at the time. the energy, the crowd, the band. the smell of the spectrum!  your feet sticking to the floor!

    Going back and looking over the set. Then started checking the overall tour. In that April stretch, leg 1 of that tour, they played 21 shows in 30days of April. That in itself is pretty impressive!

    I was 8th row and that place was huge. Eddie was grumpy that night and talked about shitting on little girls heads. Maybe not his best speech.
