Stage cam footage of the first half of the set at Reading on August 23, 2003
This was a big deal for us, we had only been to the UK a few times but it was clear from the start that we needed to visit more often. The media attention/hype/buzz/whatever and more importantly the response from fans rivaled anything we had gotten in the US at that point which took us completely by surprise, so getting the invite to play Reading and Leeds so early on was an honor. We were amped up when we played, a mixture of nerves, excitement, and disbelief (or awe?) - it was insane and you get a sense of it in this footage.
