  1. Speaking of a great listen.....I have on St Louis 10.11.00..which continued a fantastic run this band were on in Oct 2000...main set is an absolute monster..the encore ? not so hot and brings this classic show down more than a notch IMO...

    Main set is fucking fantastic , and the performances are top notch..how about that 6 song run to end the set ????? In My Tree ,EF, Daughter, BM, FOOTSTEPS (!!!!!!!!!!!) and RVM ??!!???!!!!..This show in St. Louis happens to be the one show out of 72 , that does not contain the classic Corduroy......as stated , the band were on fire in Oct 2000 , if the encore was stronger ,this show would easily qualify as gig 4 of the epic INFAMOUS 3 show run that proceeded this gig..Det 10.07 , Alpine 10.08 and Chicago 10.09....you will not top that 3 show run as far as tunes and performances..just my opinion of course...
  2. Be sure to listen to the next show, Kansas City. In my opinion, it has the best ever performance of Better Man.

  3. Even more reason for them to pull this one from the vault.

    I will ...so many great shows from this tour...listening to Footsteps from St Louis...very rare when this classic is performed in the main set...love it
  5. Getaway is fast becoming one of my top favourites
  6. Getaway should have been a single.

    It and Pendulum are easily my two favourites from that album. In fact, they are the only two songs from that album that I would say I really like. The rest ranges from decent to blah.
  7. Ditto

    Glad I got to hear getaway in Melbourne
  8. I got 9 out of the 12 LB songs at the Buffalo show I attended. Getaway was not one of them, unfortunately.
  9. Getaway is indeed a solid tune , as are Pendulum and Yellow Moon
    Siren's (for me at least) , is easily the stand out track on the album .

    The rest I never listen to , same with Backspacer...The End and maybe Just Breathe ..other tunes are ok I guess...

    Actually , I really don't listen to much studio material at all from PJ ...since Vitalogy .

    No Code , Yield and Binaural have that dead demo sound to them.Nothing As It Seems is a clear example..studio version sounds so dull and dead , compared to any of the great live versions from 2000 that have a crisp clear sounds to them..Same goes for Given To Fly..and forget No Code..ugh the whole album is just one rambling monotone mumble from EV..Sometimes a sad example...very unfortunate , as there are so many great tunes that suffered during EVs hostile takeover after (and during) Vitalogy .
  10. Here's a show I pulled out today...
