Just take your time Matt..thats why the mixes are so useful..I listen to alot of shows on my iPod,while Im at the gym each morning......eventually you have to listen to all 18 gigs....the 4 gigs in Sept.2000 are amazing....
Yes....Leatherman from either Pitt 09.05 or Chicago 10.09...Fuckin Up Detroit 10.07 and Soldier of Love from Boston,08.29 leavin here D.C. 09.04...I have Leavin Here and Leatherman in my set for Sept 2000 Ill list later on...Soldier of love is in my August 2000 mix,and Fuckin up is in my 3 nights in Oct mix....
Start the disc 1 of the compilation with:
1. Long Road
2. Of the Girl
3. Sometimes
4. Release
(and likely start disc #3 with Oceans)
OR
Start disc 1 with Long Road and Of the Girl
Start disc 2 with Sometimes
Start disc 3 with Release
Start disc 4 with Oceans
In either case, I hope to make Sometimes, Release, and Oceans "removable" (i.e., they can be removed from the mix and the transitions between songs still sounds clean)
Well...I dont like starting each disc as if its a different gig...its starting the show over 4 times..but thats just me..thats why I have so many different mixes from 2000....so i guess choice 1 ??????
I would go with Long Road from Virginia,followed by Oceans from West Palm... with a 2 disc mix from Aug 2000.
Then I would do a totally different mix,with the shows from Det, East Troy, Chi, and St Louis..opening with Release from Chicago...2-3 cd mix
Then open with Of The Girl from Boise with a 2cd final 3 gigs mix..Boise Seattle N1 and N2
The last mix Im listing is the 4 gigs from Sept 2000..it opens with Sometimes......
In the end, the multiple mixes seemed to be the way to go but I still plan to finish what I started here and rethink the process in the future - after I have giving all 20 or so shows multiple listens. I just need something to do. It's a shame that these five great songs sort of end up getting the shaft while what I deem to be lesser songs get played more frequently - and thus make it onto mixes more often. Also, four 2000 NA will only have one "Alive" - I need that song.
