I prefer this tour to 2000. I feel like the 2000 tour, save for a handful of shows, lacked spontaneity and band really didn’t do much stretching out of the songs, with the exception of Rearviewmirror which sounded great on this tour - perhaps due to the Sonic Youth influence from having them open dates on the tour?

I tend to remember them stretching out daughter into spacey jams, and wasn't it in 2000 when Black and Crazy Mary really extended out? I think in 2000, they were much tighter as a band, and in 2003 they were much more politically outspoken (which is annoying to hear again when listening to the boots).
Right, except Daughter was best stretched out (other than that excellent It’s Okay tag in 2000) in the 1998 tour and even before. They’ve really have been stretching that song out since ‘93.

well yeah, but I meant the spacey stretches... That was more Sonic Youth - type stuff.

I got to watch daughter / it’s ok from the side of the stage in Irvine LA that tour. Couldn’t really pay full attention. Guitar techs are cartoonishly busy people while we’re out there singing along, unaware.
My favorite "Crazy Mary"s are from the 2000 tour before they added the "Stairway to Heaven" outro on the second leg. Indianapolis, Boston -- that's the stuff.
I also really like the "Even Flow"s from leg 2 -- Mike's guitar is mixed really loud up front on those boots, you can really hear him tearing into those solos.
To me this tour sounds SO much better than 2000 where the band sound is really not strong to me. 98 and 03 sound great but '00 is just...ugly. it sounds like binaural which I also don't like. 2003 had a fuller sound to me, more varied, Eddie sounds much better, the band has more nuance and feeling.
