  1. OK...you asked for it...lol
  2. OK Matt..here is disc 1.....

    1) Of The Girl - 11.03 Boise..IMO you HAVE to open with this classic,over Sometimes (NY 08.24),Release (Chicago 10.09) and Long Road (08.03 Virginia).If you want and or need 1 of those tunes,grab one of the versions I listed.I went with a Binaural tune...Boise is a MUST HAVE gig
    2) Corduroy - 10.07 Detroit...great version from this stellar gig....MUST HAVE gig
    3) Grievance - 08.25 NY ...pure energy...I was at this show,a top 5 gig for me...MUST HAVE gig
    4) Breakerfall - 08.29 Boston.....a decent tune,very good version.....solid gig
    5) State Of Love And Trust - 10.07 Detroit...I defy you to find a more raw,intense version of this classic...
    6) Brain Of J - 10.11 St Louis..fantastic,EV's head sounds like its going to explode..very solid show...
    7) Whipping - 10.08 East Troy.....a rocker,nice version here...The Ice Bowl..A MUST HAVE...
    8) Animal - 10.09 Chicago..a fav of mine,the BEST SHOW from this tour IMO....No Question..A MUST HAVE
    9) Red Mosquito - 10.09 Chicago.....classic...
    10) Evacuation - 11.06 Seattle..a below average tune,actually sounds decent here...solid show,but an overrated gig,too many long speeches
    11) Hail Hail - 08.07 Atlanta..very solid gig..
    12) Nothing As It Seems - 08.07 Atlanta..one of my fav versions of this tune...great live...
    13) Faithful - 08.23 NY...I have always loved this one,great version,from an average gig...I got soaked at this gig...
    14) Tremor Christ - 08.12 Tampa..a wacked version of this one,very good gig
    15) In My Tree - 08.21 Columbus...a great heavy show..MUST HAVE GIG
    16) Small Town - 11.03 Boise....this show,IMO,is far superior to the 2 final Seattle gigs.....
    17) Insignificance - 11.03 Boise......good tune,band finally nail it here..
    18) Rival - 08.24 NY...love this song live...NY N2..MUST HAVE gig
    19) Dissident - 10.08 East Troy.....another early fav of mine..perfect version
    20) Last Exit - 10.07 Detroit....pure rock..really great version here...


    CD 1...Part 1 of the North American 2000 Tour Insanity Mix...1 hr,19 min....should squeeze in one 1 cd Matt.......
  3. Looks awesome - really awesome.

    I plan to set it up as "Night 1" and "Night 2" again so I can use two of the openers to start Disc 1 and two of them to start Disc 2. I guess I am cheating a bit but they all are required listening, Problems might arise is I get "Oceans" in there.
  4. "MUST HAVE" gig tracker:
    Boise
    Detroit
    NY 24th
    NY 25th
    East Troy
    Chicago
    Columbus
  5. Yes,you are deff cheating Matt...LOL....I only use one true opener for a mix.I dont even like to use the same song if it was a closing tune.Example,I look for a version of Indifference that DID NOT close a show,and include it.Thats why I make so many different mixes,from the same tour.I made this 4 disc mix,as if it is one long continuous gig.

    If you want to start disc 2 with an opener,I would suggest using Long Road from Virginia 08.03.It isnt necessarily the best version from the tour (10.24 San Diego),but it has the most emotion.Virginia, was the first show after the tragedy in Europe.Or you could use Oceans,it was only played twice,08.09 West Palm,and 10.15 Texas.Release, from Chicago,10.09,is fantastic.Sometimes from Jones Beach NY 08.24, is also great.

    Also,remember that Leash,DEEP,Blood,Why Go,Rats,W.M.A.,Glorified G,Satans Bed,Who You Are,Im Open,Around The Bend,No Way,Low Light,Push Me Pull Me and All Those Yesterdays were not performed in 2000.

  6. Disc 2, from the 2000 North American Tour Insanity Mix :

    1) Wishlist - 10.09 Chicago.....good song,I like it alot more live..studio version is all muddy....
    2) Given To Fly - 10.11 St Louis..The band were on a great run.Det,East Troy,Chi-town and then St L.This really is a great show.I have changed my mind about this gig.Played it in its entirety last night.Hadn't listened to it in a long while.Fantastic version of GTF here......MUST HAVE GIG.
    3) Porch - 08.07 Atlanta.. nice,crisp,SHORT,normal version of this tune.Solid gig.IMO,this gig should NOT have the ape/man tag.
    4) Habit - 09.02 Philadelphia N2..great gig..MUST HAVE GIG....insane version here...
    5) Mankind - 08.25 NY N3...good version,great gig,Stone on lead vocals..he sums it up after sayin "Good God".but hey,its Stone so..
    6) In Hiding - 10.09 Chicago..great uplifting song..pefect version..
    7) Betterman (Save It For Later) - 09.05 Pitt..great show..great version here.no question,A MUST HAVE GIG...

    Yet how on earth could I omit Release and Sometimes - and Oceans, I suppose? I'm sorry, but I'll have to cheat. Maybe I can rig it so that any opener will fit nicely when I do my editing. We'll see. Also, I can make sure an opener that doesn't start a disc doesn;t sound like track #1...even though we know better.

    Yeah, only seven Vs tracks for the entire tour - too low, in my opinion.



  8. continued...

    Philly N1
    Pitt
    San Diego
    St. Louis
  9. I may have to turn this 4-CD set into a series of "mini-shows" and use each of the four openers as track 1...still got to figure out what to do with Oceans, however. Can't I use "Of the Girl" as a track 2 - like in was in one of the gigs in Poland?
  10. I don't have a problem with omitting Pilate.
  11. First "draft" of CD1 made using most of your suggestions/recommendations (thank you) but....

    Starts out like this:
    1. Long Road - thought it would be appropriate for the first song in the mix to be the very first song on the tour
    2. Of The Girl - I promise you that I made a great transition

    Also:
    18. Insignificance - had to use Seattle N1 version as the Boise transitions too soon into the next song (Animal)

    It seems that every tour they play SO MUCH but still miss out (intentionally?) on playing a few of the great ones from previous albums.
