Agreed. Lots of controlled power in the early part of the set.

17 years ago today I saw my first show. Travelled to Canada for it, but it was o so worth it.

Kitchener 09-11-2005
Long Road - Last Exit - Animal - Save You - DTE - GTF - LBC - Corduroy - Insignificance - Gimme Some Truth - Faithfull - Jeremy - Even Flow - Leatherman - Habit - Blood
Soon Forget - Can't Keep - Man of the Hour - Small Town - Daughter - Black - Alive
In My Tree - Indifference - Betterman - Baba O'Riley - Yellow Ledbetter

I've been lucky to see a lot of shows since then, but nothing will ever come close to the feeling of that night. I don't really listen to a lot of shows I was at, but this one gets played every year on this day.

Well...I guess I'm on a kick for the first time in ages.

I just dusted off the LP set of the 2000 warm up show. So far so good.

I was there, and I agree. Just a phenomenal show. Overlooked, I think.

Jones Beach, NY 8/25/00

Before there was Moline, there was JB3 a rare show after ‘96 that had such a focus on No Code

Set: Sometimes, Grievance, Corduroy, Whipping, Do the Evolution, Animal, Evacuation, Red Mosquito, In Hiding, Even Flow, Mankind, Untitled, MFC, Rearviewmirror, Present Tense, Given to Fly, Thin Air, Off He Goes, Black, Jeremy, Immortality

Encore: Go, Insignificance, In My Tree, Small Town, Better Man, Smile, Baba O’Riley

Encore 2: Yellow Ledbetter

Listened to the Apollo show and its a blast. First 5 songs are awesome.

The MacArthur Park tag on Black at the Budapest show was a surprise.

Ottawa 2022

Great set, good performances

agreed. finished this, and jumped back to 2006 for San Francisco 7/18.

talk about a great set. WOW.

Krakow is good, although Ed is really talky.

Quebec 2022

great bootleg...solid setlist and the band is tight as hell. Highlights are Otherside, Who Ever Said, Take The Long Way, I Got Id, Porch....Ed sounds fucking good too.

The middle part of Corduroy isn't stretched out too much, one of the best from the tour that I've heard.

Hamilton 2022. The first two shows were good, this one not so much. Quite a few sloppy moments and guitar malfunctions.

Amsterdam

After listening to about 10 shows with it now, I have come around to thinking that Purple Rain might be the worst cover they've ever done.

I still feel like Driven To Tears was their worst cover ever. It felt like they played it loads in 2003 and it's an absolute momentum killer.

Didn't feel that way in the sections I was sitting in. I've heard your opinion repeated by others though. I thought it was awesome each time.

I only heard Driven to Tears live once, and I don't remember it being poorly received, but this was at the 2003 Mansfield shows, which had an electric atmosphere throughout. I do like Driven to Tears on the bootlegs, though.

I haven't heard Purple Rain live, and I hope I never do, and I haven't liked it once on any bootlegs.

The worst received song I ever heard live was Arms Aloft.

Camden 22. So far this is the show of the year and one of the best shows of the post 2006 era. It's hard to pick highlights because this is great from beginning to end, no fuck ups here (MSG, I'm looking in your direction).
They absolutely kill it on the first run of fast ones (Animal-MYM-DTE-Deep-Corduroy), terrific versions of Retrograde, Not For You (ferocious 1994ish guitar sound here), Who Ever Said, Why Go, SOLAT, Breath, Leash, Alive follow.
Can't recommend that one highly enough...

Even just the first few songs on the Quebec City bootleg sound great. Ed's voice is a huge improvement over the end of the Europe tour (even before Paris).

My goodness, camden absolutely cooks. Might be the best show they played in 2022.
