1. Originally posted by RUMMY:Ronnie, as you may or may not know, I have been going on a bit of a rampage and have been listening to the majority of the 2003 bootlegs. I start with the second half of the Spring North American leg back in February and have listened to almost all of the June/July 2003 shows (just five to go!). I know Ed has listened to them all. Have you?


    i haven't listened to PJ lately, my disappoint to Eddie is still there hehe (much more feeble anyway)
    now i'm a lot into Soundgarden/Chris Cornell and Screaming Trees/Mark Lanegan talking about grunge extraction hehe .. and Bruce Springsteen .. more than others
    anyway yes i listened to many of them (not all though) during the years till not long time ago .. great great tour plenty of outstanding shows, i love also the Nassau one, their attitude too, Clash's Know Your Right following Bu$hleaguer (shh don't let Ed know this hehe )
    even if they were in the mood that Europe didn't deserve them hehehe
  2. I plan to listen to the 2000 European shows once I'm finished with the 2003 ones. I have a feeling you might a bit to say about some of them!
  3. I am now at the famous July 11, 2003 show in Mansfield - the final gig of "the experiment." The acoustic opening (about a dozen songs) is INCREDIBLE. I'm going to buy the Benroyal Hall gig later this week.

    Aside from what they did in Germany in 1992 and the two perfromances I mentioned about, have PJ done any other full-on acoustic sets?

    hehe .. easy for me to say both the italian gigs are outstanding, maybe too much personal but Ed already confirmed Milano '00 can quite easily have a spot in the PJ Olympus .. Verona is a great one too anyway
    other than "my" shows i'd say (going from memory) the double Wembley Arena, better the second because of Immortality presence, but that's my usual "problem" hehe, and Black-Alive closing if i remember well.
    Dublin, Prague, Katowice 2, Berlin ...

    MTV unplugged and first part of Gorge '05 show for example
  6. I was considering getting that 7-CD Gorge package as well. Obviously, lots of oustanding tunes played at those three shows.
  7. don't just consider, get it!
  8. I know - I guess being spoiled with all of those other bootlegs has kept me from shelling out for it. Aside from the pretty packaging is there any noticable difference in sound quality in these shows?
  9. very good sounding i'd say .. like the other live albums
  10. I may wait a little while then to get the Gorge set - still have a bunch of bootlegs to listen to over the next while.

    Have just two shows to go in my 2003 odyssey.

    June is getting nearer. Can't wait to see what they play - will there be any change in there ever-changing setlist?
  11. happy and sad day for the grunge scene ..

    happy .. birthday to Mike



    sad .. anniversary of Kurt and Layne (10th) disappearance

    Found it absoutely hilarious. Trust Nirvana to troll on Top of the Pops.

    Two great grunge frontmen to commemorate today. I will be listening to Nevermind and Dirt in full today.

    I see you've done that already Ronnie, well done. I salute you.
