Notes (from 5H):
The 2003 tour kicks off for a revved-up Australian crowd -- the first Oz tour with Matt drumming. An anti-war theme runs through the show. Chairs provide seating on the floor section that is typically the open/pit area for shows at this venue. Seven Riot Act songs on the setlist but old favorites like 'Corduroy' get the loudest reception from the crowd.
'Can't Keep' opens with a modified guitar intro. Boom is playing keyboards for this tour, and is most noticeable on 'Save You,' 'I Am Mine', 'Black', 'Bushleaguer' and 'Crazy Mary.' The 'Daughter' tag hints at Fugazi's 'Give Me The Cure' ("I never thought too hard on dying before") before Ed's improv ("I'm an American so I always want war, but please believe me ... a lot of us that don't have nothing to do with the people on TV ... on the news") leading to the War tag a la the Seattle 2002 shows ("War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin.").
There are some rough edges and flubs. 'Wishlist' is plagued with forgotten lyrics, Ed forgetting twice and saying "It's so nice that you came to our practice ... by the time we get to Sydney, it's gonna be polished, tight and boring." 'Wishlist' includes the lowering of the mirrorball and ends with, "I wish I was the president ... stop the war. Easy ... negotiate, communicate ... isn't that what leaders are for?"
'TKAA' is dedicated to Pete Townshend (a show of solidarity for him) and how he was working to expose the exact thing he was arrested for (access to child pornography). Ed again has the Bush mask for 'Bushleaguer,' combined with a shiny, silver jacket. 'Crazy Mary' is an amazing long version including Mike's 'Stairway to Heaven' outro. Ed is smoking and drinking red wine, sharing it with the crowd, as in prior shows, during 'Crazy Mary' ("Take a bottle, drink it down ... pass it around.")
This is the first show where mp3s were made available for download via the Ten Club for members who ordered the CDs. The sound files were available the day following the show.
