  1. From twofeetthick.com Note: Approx. one hour before the PJ show in Buffalo, local Buffalo radio station (103.3 The Edge) interviewed Mike. Mike said that due to the reactions of fans during the tour while “Bushleaguer” was being performed (Mike cited the boos received at the Uniondale show) that the band has reached a decision and the song will no longer be played live. He said that the one thing they don’t want to do is alienate their fans, and that they (the band) are as American as anyone and hopes that people won’t misunderstand the meaning behind the song.
  2. Interesting that Mike , and I do believe Stone as well , took the airwaves to clean up EVs mess .

    EV has never said anything (as far as I know) in connection with the mess in Denver and Nassau , from April 2003 .

    Interesting that you prefer the sequence of tunes changed , from studio to live...

    Is it because the tunes sound better/different live ?
  4. Heard some of Mil. Wisconsin tonight on Pj radio. It's going to be a good boot. Got to No Way before I got home. Sounds great. Yield in order is going to be a fav for me I think.

    I think it's simply that I've been "conditioned" as to where the live tracks might be positioned in the setlist. A song like Immortality (which I absolutely love) works very well to close an album but I don't know if they've ever closed a concert with it. In fact, I don't think it's even been played in an encore since the 1990's (I've have to check the archives). Better Man, however, is often played late in the set (as is STBC) so I feel they need to be at the end of a Vitalogy live mix.

    The only two items I would "disagree" with on your list is that "Last Exit" has to start the album due to the "tuning of the instruments" intro. I also like the "Man" songs paired together (see my live version) but I would want to end the album with both slow songs.

    Nonetheless, those are ten great songs...well, for me eight or nine great ones plus one or two really good ones.

    I'm really curious about what's in store for these two albums (No Code and Yield). Something's got to be in the works but when?????

    This was a 2003 article? By my count (well, by using the 10c "Song Lyrics" section) the song was played 19 times afterwards.

    I guess they changed their minds about changing their minds.

    I hadn't realized their was a problem in Denver, too. I must have missed it on that boot.

    After a quick check, I now know that it was the first show of the 2003 NA tour. Admittedly, I skipped a few of those earlier shows when I listened to the 2003 tour a few years ago. I think I started at the North Carolina shows.

    Come to think of it, I still have to finish the 2000 tour I started about a year and a half ago! I ran out of steam in Texas and didn't even make it to all those great shows in California! (I have listened to the Boise and Seattle shows, mind you.)
  9. Uh, oh. Not counting this one, I just did four posts in a row again!
  10. I'll break your streak Matt.


  11. Another wild and crazy Saturday night for this guy (me)!

    ...My wife and I did dinner and a movie today....and I do stress the "day" in today. In fact, it was a matinee (saw Gone Girl) and an "early bird" lunch at 4pm!

    Home by 5:30!
  12. Went to see Interstellar last night with the wife....really really good ..almost 3 hrs , ended at midnight … just AMAZING in IMAX !

    I have only listened to disc 1 from Det so far…I love the energy..such a great opening..the 3 classics into Go…MYM is ok...I could do without Amongst the Waves..song is so boring to me now (as are basically all of the Backspacer tunes for me)…same for Light Years , which I loved back in 2000….Got Some just won't die .


    I have to listen to Disssident - RVM…that run looks tasty !
