  1. Any rumours out there about the leg two bootlegs from the PJ20 tour?
  2. Hey Matt.I agree.The first 5 have alot more energy to them.They are better gigs.Thats why I did 2 separate mixes.First mix is from the 2 Toronto gigs.Second mix from the first 5 Canadian gigs.I didnt want the same song, (Long Road) leading off both, of my Canadian playlists mixes.I will leave the Canadian First 5 mix/compilation for you to submit Matt.

    As far as the First 5 Canadian 2011 mix,stand out tunes from each gig IMO are:

    Montreal : Last Exit,Glorified G,Even Flow,Black,Arms Aloft.

    Toronto 1: IMO,this is THE show of the leg.If I had to pick just a few...Long Road (this starts my Toronto mix),Once,Got Some,Nothing As It Seems,Not For You(Modern Girl),Daughter(Its OK).(I love both encores,but I think the version of Black, from my gig in Montreal ,is slightly better than Tortonto.Same goes for Even Flow Montreal)..........Man Trilogy,Just Breathe,RVM,Chloe Dancer> Crown Of Thorns,RITFW.

    Toronto 2: Go(this starts my Canadian mix),Animal,Ole',Hail Hail,In My Tree,Sad,Deep,Garden,Rats,I Got Id,Jeremy

    Ottawa : Given To Fly,Whipping,Breath,Wishlist,The End>Inside Job,Alive

    Hamilton : Immortality,Habit,Push Me Pull Me,Why Go,I Remember You,State Of Love And Trust,Brain Of J,Search And Destroy.
  3. I often overlook rarer b-sides and covers as well as "Avocado" tracks.

    I'll try not to this time around.

    Any recommended performances for a 2010 mix? Thanks to you I have many of the performances - still haven't listened to any of them except a bit of London, but I will.


    I have a NYC mix, from the 2010 MSG gigs.I posted that mix a while back on here.The Boston show is really good,as is Hartford.

    Europe 2010, I would say Dublin,London and Berlin are the standout gigs.The Berlin show especially.It's on the 10th anniversary of the Denmark tragedy.After Black,EV breaks down a bit.Its a very emotional show.An absolute must have/listen.


  5. Its hard to include EVERY song.I try to use the most recent songs.Make each mix,from each tour/year a bit different.A song like Deep,that isnt performed too often.

    My Italian 2006 mix is of course dominated by Avocado tunes,as it should be.

    Today,Im going to list my 4 Nights In Los Angeles mix.From 2009.Those shows,were a bit overlooked, by the classic 4 night stand in Phialdelphia. I attended N2 and N3 in Philly.
  6. Ironically enough, the 2006 Italy mix I made last month has very few "Avocado" tunes. I hope we can still continue these conversations. Also, I noticed they only played a few songs from that album at the 2006 Leeds and Reading festivals. I am still giving it another "try." I listened to it quite a bit back in 2006 but just didn't love it. Inside Job, Army Reserve, and Marker in the Sand deserve a closer look. WWS, Life Wasted, Severed Hand, Comatose, Parachutes, and Gone are all decent. Come Back, is a bit too 50's for me (kind of like Last Kiss), while Big Wave and Unemployable are not my cup of tea.
  7. They didnt play too many of the Avocado tunes, at Leeds and Reading, because it was a festival I assume.Most of the shows had many a song from that release.

    Take a listen to the San Fran gig from 07.15.06 when you can.Also,my show in NJ, from 06.03.06 is amazing.Its the last gig from the first leg.They had to stop the show during Animal.Their recording machine crashed.The first 5 songs dont sound as good as the rest of the gig.Amazing time was had.

    I'll definitely include Garden and Deep. I really wish they'd played Oceans during this leg so I could use ALL of Ten. Maybe I should cheat and use one of the second leg versions when they are released. It could be like a "bonus track."

    I think my lack of use fof b-sides and covers is related to my time away from the band. I am still appreciating the live versions of all the "hits" that I haven't had/taken the time to get into the lesser known tracks - especially ones not found on the studio albums.

    I haven't had a good look at the LA 2009 shows, although I noitced they played four shows, split up by a show or two in between for whatever reason.

    I'll eventually (in 2013) get around to those Philly shows.
  9. I surprised my wife ,and took her to Barcelona for a week ,in 2006.It just so happened,PJ was there.LOL.They played 09.01.06.They actually opened the gig with Inside Job.Solid show.They also played In My Tree.The Italian shows,and the gigs from Portugal, are must listens though.

    I had to catch at least 1 European show in 06.I also saw PJ there,in Barcelona, on 05.25.00.Spain is beautiful.Great food,and great wine.

    My wife isnt really into PJ that much.Shes a U2 freak though.

    How many PJ shows have you been to ?

  10. Just two, regrettably. Auckland 1998 and the recent T.O. show. I plan to attend more in the future.

    I wish I had a time machine.
  11. LOL...Auckland 98..wow..nice......They played in your city many times.You missed the great 09.19.2005 Toronto show huh ? Bono jumped onstage with PJ.U2 played Toronto that week as well.4 gigs.I went to the PJ Montreal gig 09.15.05.That has a classic version of Black.
  12. I saw U2 that week.

    To be honest, I have never been a huge concert-goer. Don't get me wrong, I've seen some great bands - some on multiple occasions. However, when I was a bit younger, I was usually a "follower" when it came to attending shows. Over the past decade, however, I have had to rely on my own initiative to get to a particular show. In these cases, I usually have to "love" a band to get off my lazy butt and attend. It's usually well-worth it and I should do it more often. For whatever reason, I wasn't the mega-PJ fan I've become in 2011 in the 2000's, so, unfortunately, I missed many classic shows. The fact that they have their bootleg program most definitely feeds into this recent "insanity" of mine. I'll try to do better.
