What is your favorite show of the 2003 tour. One you were at or on cd. I love Irvine night 1. That show was amazing, for the setlist and the crowd. One of my favs. Besides the special guests at MSG, I think it beats MSG on DVD.

Missoula.
One of the few 3 encore shows.
Quote:
attendance: 7,000 support act: Idlewild
set: Can't Keep, Last Exit, Do The Evolution, Save You, Ghost, Insignificance, Cropduster, Even Flow, Grievance, Wishlist, Not For You, Whipping, Corduroy, Brain Of J, Black, Better Man, Porch enc 1: Elderly Woman, Daughter, Crazy Mary, I Got Shit, Down, Glorified G, All Or None, Blood enc 2: Last Kiss, Know Your Rights, Alive enc 3: I Won't Back Down, Fortunate Son, Yellow Ledbetter
notes: Ed greets the crowd after 'Can't Keep,' talking about how it is the first night out of the second leg of the longest tour they've done since they were in their early 20s and they thought Missoula would be a good pick where it "would go well" for the first night and that it is Jeff's hometown. After 'Ghost,' Ed speaks about a crew member (lighting guy, Sarge) who is in the reserves who got called to duty but was back on the tour again. Everyone throws their hands upward at the appropriate spot in 'Wishlist' and Ed laughs and backs away from the mic briefly. The keys are shining off your 'GTOs hood" tonight and he tags the ending with, "I wish I was 21 again; I wish I could go to school again ... I'll go back when I'm 41; and I'll learn what I want ... and the required courses that I will take will be only the courses that I require and I'll raise my hand up in the front of the room and I'll tell my government what I want ... dreams, dreams, dreams ..." 'Not For You' includes, "small my table, seats all of you ..." 'Porch' is dedicated to "a young man named Sam." Returning for the encore, Ed mentions that last time they played outside and he remembers all the "freeloaders" on the hill. "Now since you can get the music for free, you gotta pay to get in." 'Elderly Woman' is dedicated to anyone from Big Sandy (Jeff's original hometown). At one point, Jeff is so into playing that he nearly takes a header off the stage. After 'Down,' Ed talks about how high the fan is blowing on him and it makes it feel like being in an Aerosmith video, Mike tossing out a "Walk This Way' riff. "We'll try something that we don't usually do ... it just never felt right in some of the bigger places that we've played ..." leads to 'All Or None.' 'Last Kiss' is for those in the back and the band turn around, playing to the seats behind them. Ed spits wine into the air and the lights, spraying himself and the crowd going nuts! He speaks to a "local issue" and how Jeff earmarked some of the proceeds from the Seattle benefit show for a skateboard park and how the approval was getting intermingled with the city council's initiative to band skateboarding on the sidewalks. He suggests a letter writing campaign and mentions the "skateboarding is not a crime" bumperstickers from years ago and how skateboards are "... not weapons of mass wheel revolution ... they're just skateboards," leading to 'Know Your Rights.' Ed's solo performance of Tom Petty's 'I Won't Back Down' seems a spur of the moment idea. Very high energy show in a small venue with a receptive, fantastic audience.

04/30/03 - Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum: Uniondale, NY
support act: Sparta

enc 2: Bushleaguer, Know Your Rights, Rockin' In The Free World
notes: A solid, intense show, that gets crazy during the second encore. Some rude members of the crowd start booing during 'Bushleaguer.' Ed's response: "I busted out the nice suit for you, yeah? Ahhhhh, yeah. You didn't like that one. I don't understand. Maybe you like him cuz he's gonna give you a tax cut. Maybe you like him because he is a real guy, that relates to you, because he is so down home." Crowd starts chanting: "USA, USA, USA!" Ed responds: "I'm with you. USA. I just think that all of us in this room should have a voice in how the USA is represented. And he didn't allow us our voice. That's all I'm saying. We love America. I am standing on a stage in front of a big crowd. I worked in a good damn drug store. I love America, right? (Some people are yelling "play some fucking rock and roll!") This is good, this is open, honest debate, and that's what it should be. If you keep this back and forth ... good things will happen. If you don't say anything, you don't know what will happen. Cause we are on a brink of forever. And if we don't participate on where this thing is going, when where we are the number one super power in the world, you want to have a part in it and make sure it is a good thing, yeah? Plus or minus, be active. This is a good thing." The band continues with a searing 'Know Your Rights' followed by 'RITFW,' during which some in the crowd are flipping the bird and throwing projectiles.) Ed repeats the "U-S-A" chant a few times, says "Thank you, good night," and slams the mic stand down. The band is obviously upset and they leave the stage. 'Smile,' 'Indifference' and 'Soldier Of Love' were on the setlist and not played.

CROWN OF THORNS, SOLAT, OH YES AND THEY PLAYED BLOOD AND PORCH, I DONT EVEN NEED TO GO ANY FURTHER
I agree, atlanta is great, i said toronto but atlanta...my god incredible. You forgot glorified g, presetn tense, and thumbing! But porch says it all, plus a kick ass eddie speech is always good.
Honestly i'd say a three way tie between toronto, east troy, and atlanta.
