They shouldn't play games with announcing additional shows... Another night makes it worth a 3000 mile trip for me... They should have had 2 shows to start with ,then added a 3rd
They haven't played in Seattle for 4 years ...selling out is not an issue for PJ in Seattle.
The official bootlegs from 2000-2006 are free on first site I mentioned. There are many that come to mind but you might want to consider:
2000: London 2, Milan, Katowice 2, Jones Beach "triad," Chicago, East Troy, Chicago, Boise and Seattle 1&2. You can also get a great mix (not one of mine) from the 2000 tour here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2yduy5t22pxg5
2003: State College, MSG 1&2, and Mansfield "triad"
2006: some of those shows from Italy are outstanding.
I could go one but I think this is a good start.
Ed and Ron would definitely be of some service here.
Of course you could always try the mix below. (Yes, this is one of "mine" - I hope the links still work!):

Many a great show there Matt.....I would suggest picking 1 classic gig from each tour ...Chicago or Milan 2000
NYC 03
Italy or Hawaii 06
Bonarroo 08
Melbourne 09
NYC 2010
Toronto 2011
Manchester or Berlin 2012
Something like that .... Wouldn't want him to OD on all those boots like someone I know did......lol
Sounds like they like playing in Melbourne hey? I think their 95 and 98 shows there are pretty good. Add 09 to that and it looks like it must be one of the tops spots to see a good PJ gig!
I think Melbourne 1995 is my favourite. Since it has a very nicer balance of all three of their first three albums, I even rate it slightly ahead of Atlanta 1994, which is also phenomenal.
