Originally posted by EDDMB Matt,here is another of my mad N.American Tour mixes......this one contains the 4 great shows in September 2000....Philly (Camden,NJ) 09.01& 09.02,Washington D.C. 09.04,Pitt (a top 5 gig IMO) 09.05.....all 4 were NOT listed as ape/man gigs by the band,..thats strange because they are all fantastic.....IMO these 4 are all MUSY HAVE GIGS...

1) Sometimes - 09.01 Philly...a solid tune to open any gig with...I like it so much more ...

45) Baba O'Reilly - 09.02 Philly N2 ...fantastic version..I included this becasue its such a great version...

a great 4 nights to wrap up the 2nd leg of the 2000 N.American Tour......

45 tunes..3 crisp hrs,19 min

These are very nice lists indeed. This would fit nicely on to three discs. ONE DAY, I might make it - along with the other groupings.

Will still do the four-CD set I was planning for 2000 but if the five openers in a row just don't cut it, I'll go to Plan B and do smaller mixes for each leg of the tour.

Well I went for Ten, listened to it and I'd say that I have mixed feelings towards it at the moment. Love Once, straight off the bat it grabbed me. Even Flow didn't quite hit me as well, though on second listen, it's grown on me a little. Same story with Alive really, second listen was much more pleasurable. Not too keen on Why Go. I like Black but I'm not massively enthusiatic about Jeremy. Oceans is good, also like Porch and Garden. I wasn't feeling Deep, hasn't caught on with second listen either. Though the close, Release is up there with Once as my favourites off the album.

On the whole, I'm liking what I'm hearing, I suspect that the tracks that have grown on me after a second listen will continue growing as well. Undecided as to whether to hit the next album or hit a compilation. I'm thinking a compilation will open up the rest of the albums quicker than it would to cycle through chronologically.

EDIT: After a second listen, I had to go back and listen to Once again.

more than a suspect

Black, for example, still keeps on growing whenever i listen to

... Jeremy will surprise you

the growth wil go on and on if you ever fall into live performances

I'm still discovering U2 live, never mind other artists

I think I have bootlegs for around 4/5 other artists than U2 and it's only one or two bootlegs at that. I had high expectations of Jeremy going into it because it's listed as one of the top listed too tracks for Pearl Jam on both Spotify and Last.fm, probably the reason I wasn't into it, my subconscious wouldn't allow it.

I hope what I'm about to write makes sense:

It may be a bit more effort, but I think you should stick with the studio albums. You don't have the influence of radio "bombarding" you with the hits (as I had over the past two decades) so you can make your own judgment as to what are truly your favourite songs. Listening to the Greatest Hits album might influence your decision in a similar manner.

The thing with live PJ is that most of their shows since 2000 have been officially released - so you have lots to choose from and all are of high quality.

Unfortunately, this is not the case with most other artists - including U2.

Lol, well considering I only remember 'Jeremy' being listed in the top songs I will being going in blind.

You're like me Tim

Once was the standout track on my first listen. The other tracks take more time to get into.

Once is such an awesome high-energy rocker.

I admit that I am easily influenced. Songs like "Jeremy" and , say, "Mysterious Ways" are very good (classics) but I thiink I rank them higher because I feel I'm supposed to do so. I appreciate music not only for my own listening pleasure but also as a historical document of the times.

I'm weird that way.

Well, you can keep them apart. I call The Beatles the greatest band of all time, but I say I like U2 better.

I feel that Ten is a better album than the others because is "flows" the best out of all of them - very cohesive sound amongst all the tracks. The next two albums (Vs. and Vitalogy) have many standout tracks (that are more listener friendly which you might enjoy - I do) but, to me, also contain one or two clunkers.
