And as for earlier shows at Giants...2001 and 2003 were very average compared to European performances of that same tour.
It's only people from New Jersey/America who have never seen a European show that think these homecoming shows are the best thing out there. When everyone from America had just seen the last show in Lisbon there was no one thinking that the shows at Giants were even remotely special anymore. Good? Sure, but special? Nah...

I never said they were better then Europe, or as special as Europe, or that they were the best thing out there. At this point it's basic fact that (almost) any show they do in Europe is going to trump (almost) any show they do in the US. But I will stand by that those first three NMS nights were very good shows, and had a decent (for the US) amount of rarities.
