1. The June 2003 gigs are hard to pick from..because there are so many quality shows,East Troy and Chicago being the BEST..IMO.

    Release from Bonner Springs (06.12) is a rather stunning version ,in the rainstorm.Faithfull,LBC from Council Bluffs (06.13),Crazy Mary from Fargo (06.15)..these 3 shows MUST be represented...

    Matt,as I have mentioned in the past..these 3 gigs are hailed as "sacred gigs" in the PJ communities, and to not have them in a 2003 mix would be blasphemous to some of the hardcore elite (Im being serious).....IMO they are solid,but way overrated..but,thats just me....I have had many an argument about these gigs at PJ pre shows....and have been told I have to "respect the BIG 3 gigs"...one guy told me that he was "shocked that such a hardcore fan as myself had no respect".......DO AS YOU WISH......lol.

    came in mind looking at the numbers of the Boss' tour so far .. not at this level but still very amazing (he's promoting an album anyway)

    that Canadian dates were/are incredible


    I too really like the Canadian 2011 shows. The sound quality on the bootlegs is incredible - Eddie's voice reall standouts. That said, I find that some of the songs they pulled out during the second half of the tour (Western Canada) were a bit disappointing. Choosing say, "Comatose" over "In Hiding" or "Parachutes" over "Oceans" wasn't the best decision in my opinion. Also, the SA shows were generally a bit longer with more impressive encores thatn the Canadian ones.


  3. I'm looking at about 74 songs right now just squeezing onto four CD's. The majority of the shows (especially from June and July) will have representation - including Council Bluffs, Bonner Springs, and Fargo. I'm trying to figure out a way to post what I've done so far without having to type it all out from scratch.

    Stay tuned.

    they never had problems in choosing "lower" songs in their rotations

    the second encores of the SA tour are shocking at least hehe

    I feel a ...3 Nights in Mansfield - Summer '03 mix on the horizone Matt...

    Yeah...that's a lot of tunes. I did that multiple-opener thing again.

    Omissions of some classic songs, like Last Exit and Glorified G, from the "experiment" have kept me from making a big set from just those three shows. I wonder if EV realized this as they were played in Hershey the next show?

    I have become one big Pearl Jam nerd.
  8. LOL....I dont like the multi-opener thing..but hey..thats me..I pick one opener,thats it..

    Maybe use Sometimes and Of The Girl from the acoustic set when they were played 2nd and 3rd ???
  9. What they did on July 11th justifies my decision to start the mix off with a few openers - even if I didn't use anything from that particular set. I made that decision based on the fact that I like to keep CD1 from Mansfield 3 unedited - it's great just as it is.
  10. Thats fine Matt,Im just breaking your chops....Im a stickler for using the songs in the spot that they were played.....but thats me...lol

    In other words..if Sometimes opened a gig,I would never use it in the 2nd or 3rd spot....

    Just to let you know..my wife read what I just wrote..and agreed YOU are right..LOL

    I didnt see this quote before..if you are a "PJ nerd"..then..dare I ask..what might I be ???????

    I get on airplanes..and cross oceans to see PJ (I have done this also for U2,Noel,Radiohead and DMB) ..
  12. You have done a nice job of welcoming me to the (nerd) club, I suppose. I teach math for a living - I'm used to the "nerd" label.
