Eddie just sounds kinda thin...reedy. The sound is harsh but not in a pleasing way. It makes me think of...electricity? IDK even what that means. Its too...sharp? Unpleasant....IDK.
I also find the setlists kind of predictable on that tour. Feels like Corduroy was in the first three songs every single night or something. Grievance too but Grievance rocks. Best song on Binaural.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE SOUND IM PICKING UP ON?! I feel like there's some QUALITY on these 00 shows...sloppy guitar, too distorted too messy...too fast...SOMETHING...I dont know what it is but it makes every song sound the same and be offputting to me and I have no idea what it is.
Its like Id listen to it for one song but not for a whole concert and i find it a cold sound where 2003 to me is warmer and more variety IDK WHAT IT IS

I don't think you're far off with that idea that the 2000 recordings sometimes sound cold - almost a metallic, shrill sound to them at times. But, it seemed to be more a show to show thing, rather than the entire 2000 tour. 2003 probably does have a bit of a warmer sound to it. And, I don't think that's explained just by the song choices.
More than other tours I feel like the 2000 tour I feel like Im hearing the same tempo and sound on every song. I think its mostly the guitar sound. So far the one I really liked was Red Mosquito which was amazing. The others I feel like could be good renditions when mixed with other sounds but they all sort of blend together
