    With you also being an Oasis fan, I would guess you would also consider DM and (WTS)MG as a comparable one-two punch for a band's first two albums.

    I think PJ gets the nod when you consider the first three albums of both bands (although Be Here Now isn't a bad as many say it is).
  2. I agree on all points.Actually,Morning Glory was so good,I started to listen to Oasis way more than PJ from '95-'98.As you know,I thought No Code was awful when released in '96.Live though,NC and Yeild are fantastic.
  3. Yeah. Both Radiohead and Oasis kind of replaced the grunge bands for me in the mid-late 1990's.

    I like all of PJ better now that I have heard all of it live. However, No Code has indeed had the biggest improvement.
  4. Without question,I became a huge Oasis and Radiohead fan...I was also into Blur in the late 90s ....speakin of Radiohead.....when are they commin back to NYC..
  5. Not too sure about Radiohead's return to these parts. They seem to be announcing concerts dates piecewise.

    Just thought of something: I started listening to more PJ shortly after TKoL came out. I wonder if things would have been different if RH had released a "rocker" instead of beep/boop/moan/blip/etc?

    No regrets, however. None whatsoever.

    Now back to that 2000 mix I was working on.
  6. Matt, Ed: where do you get all those millions of PJ bootelgs you talk about every day? Do you buy them or are they available for free in a U2start-alike website?
  7. There are hundreds available at pearljambootlegs.org. All the "official releases" from 2000-2006 are legitimately available there (no longer for sale from the PJ offcial website) and there are many, many radio broadcasts and audience recording from the 1990's on the site, too. You may have to keep "refreshing" your browser when you initial try to navigate to the site - I usually get some "oops..." message the first few time I try to go there but it eventually works. Not too sure why this happens.

    Most of their shows from 2008 to 2011 are available for purchase on the bands official website (not pearljambootlegs.org). I bought a bunch from the recent Canadian tour and have been given others.
  8. Sergio,check out the gigs from Barcelona 05.25.00 and from San Sebastian 05.26.00 in your country......the crowd at both gigs were insane.I went to the Barcelona gig......great show,great city..and fantastic wine and food....they played some great gigs in Europe 2000...London,Cardiff,Milan,Verona,Poland,Praha,Berlin,Oslo...the 2 most popular from Europe are Katowice 06.16.00 and Milan 06.22.00...I went to the Milan show,as did Ronnie.....IMO,PJs BEST GIG TO DATE.......


    On Corduroy,from San Sebastian,you can hear the crowd doing these loud soccer - like chants...amazing crowd of people..I had a great time there.....as well as Milan....
  9. I gotta make that Euro 2000 mix.
  10. Matt....Im workin on a nice 2 parts Europe mix....25 gigs is impossible for 1 mix....4 cd minimum at the least......spread out......Im takin the first 12-13 shows,then the last 12 gigs for a separate mix..stay tuned...lol
  11. You did a European one a while back and it looked pretty (very) good. I've only downloaded the two London and the two Italian shows from 2000, however, so I got some work to do. I look forward to your post(s).

    I'm three CD's into "mixing" (transitioning) the 2000 NA mix. It'll likely suffice (I'll post on mediafire - not megaupload -when I'm done) but I can't shake the urge to create two mixes (one for each leg) instead.
  12. Well,you can do 1 of 2 things IMO.....Make one mega mix for the N.American Tour (impossible IMO)...or do small mixes,from different segments of the tour.The "problem" is the simple fact that the American leg has 47 different gigs,all released of course.

    I have an August Leg mix,a Sept Leg (Philly 1 and 2,D.C. and Pitt 4 great gigs) a early Oct mix (Det,E.Troy,Chi and St.Louis,I added St Louis,all great gigs) and the final 3 of Nov mix (Boise,Seattle 1 and 2)....

    The August 2000 mix has all 19 gigs represented...its under 3 hrs..classic stuff.....
