    Yes Matt, FIVE shows. They aren't young anymore and will eventually slow down, I want to see them as much as I possibly can before they start fading. Besides, they are my second favourite band. The setlist variation pushes me towards more shows as well. Expensive, but it'll be worth it in the end.

    If they're anything like Bruce they've got well over ten years left of top notch performing!
  2. PJ and mainly Eddie learned a lot from Bruce but .. jeez .. Bruce learn something from them about bootlegs stuff!
  3. LOL... It was worth it?!?!
  4. I guess no new bootlegs today - still!!!

    On a positive note, the delay has given me time to revisit the first 13 again. Oddly enough, I appreciate them more he second time around - especially the Pittsburgh show.
  5. Adding to my previous post, it appears that we've been doing the wise thing by getting the digital downloads as opposed to ripping the CDs. According to many 10c members, there have been several issues with this format for the leg one boots.
  6. the delay is permitting me to step on over this east ride hehe
    today step was Hartford and "at first sight" it seems to be my favourite till now, considering the average of the whole, set, performance, etc
    next step tomorrow in Baltimore and then finally what intrigues me more in this first bunch
  7. Im revisiting the 2010 MSG shows. Still amazing,,,absolute classics. Listening to Unthought Known from Night1 reminds me that its a great song. The 2013 versions sound lifeless and overplayed. The energy in the performance is unreal from 5/20/10.

    Yeah, Unthought Known has really lost a lot of its initial lustre for me. The "gems and rhinestones" have dimmed, you might say. Not long ago I rated it as one of the best post90s PJ songs. It has definitely dropped quite a bit for me - although I still consider it the best song on Backspacer (which might not be saying much).

    I would rank Hartford and C'ville as the best two boots of leg one if I take into consideration both overall performance and setlist.
