I have been listening to the Halifax gig today (09.22.05) and I will quote Thom Yorke on todays weather here in NYC..."Hello,were called Radiohead,and were pleased to meet you,on this cold,wet,shitty day...this is one of our new songs" prior to the band playing Electioneering, Pinkpop '96.....classic.

Halifax is such a great,loose gig..EV is just having a blast on stage..and many a bottle of red...

I think we should each do a review (all are obviously welcome to join in) of a specific show from the 90's - from the remastered "series" and official releases only, of course. I do, however, have other shows to listen to. Not to mention that I should listen to some Radiohead in June.

The history mix is something a really want to do but I think we need to "debate" about which songs should be included (all of them?) and, of course which versions are best. Like I mentioned earlier, it'll be difficult to chose the best version of say, Even Flow. Was it best in 1992 or did it age like a fine wine over time? Maybe we should agree to only choose tracks from the bootleg series that started in 2000. That'll help. In any case, this we'll need to take our time on this. It'll be worth it in the end.

I'm tempted to create a greatest hits using the previouly-mentioned remasters from the 1990's shows. At least there's "only" about 15 shows to choose from.

Sounds good.....the problem with the released 90s live material, is that there simply isnt much..we have Vault 1 from Seattle '92 and Drop in the Park from '92 as well....Orpheum from '94,and Live on 2 Legs from 98,and 2 Legs is a combo of gigs....I dont count Atlanta,as it was a broadcast...and not an official release,so we shouldnt use it...same goes for the '96 Berlin and '98 Melbourne broadcast.

The Orpheum gig is amazing..Oceans and Even Flow are fantastic,and IMO the BEST early versions of those tunes...

There are a few others from that remasters series like Melbourne and SLC 1995 and a bunch more from 1992...and was that Las Vegas 1993 show (I've listen to it at least three times over the past couple of days) a fan-club release?

Anyway, all those shows sound great but should likely be kept separate from the official bootleg stuff. So the (eventual) process would be:
1) Pick a song
2) Pick a bunch of the best versions of that song - you'd have more knowledge/ability in this step
3) Somehow pick the best one.
4) Decide on it's position in a best of mix (for the record, we'd have to include multiple "openers" somehow)

...and then do it again for another 100...150...200 (!?!?!) songs.

Oh boy.

Yes,Vegas was released I believe many many years back...I either lost my copy,or didn't get it.I also forgot about New Years Eve NYC '92...that gig was released with the Avocado cd from the fanclub. So there is a decent amount there,but we should just go with 2000 on....I'm sure with the No Code remasters,a show from 96 (Randalls please) will be released,and we can do a best of 90s live then...

Are you just speculating with the No Code remaster or has an actual statement been issued?

I had a feeling that they might do a No Code/Yield combo - if only because that's what they did for Vs and Vitalogy. I suppose one might argue that there wasn't a clear "break" between the two V-titled albums but there definitely was one in 1997.

Do you need a copy of or a link for the Vegas show?

Day 2 of listening to the Halifax gig.....I have to say,I love this show......Hard to Imagine opens,nice version,albeit a bit shaky in spots..but a nice change as far as an opening tune.....rocking version of Animal follows. Ed's voice really sounds strong at this gig...and he is very into it,VERY talkative and encouraging the crowd all night....

LBC has a different,slow opening.Sounds good here,compared to the mess that it was in St Johns 2 nights later.

Dissident and SOLAT are great,and keepers for a mix...

"So this is Halifax to the max,this is the time and place to do this." Breath is played,and sounds very good,despite Ed's vocal slip during the first verse.I think its in the same spot,where he messed up Breath in Philly,09.01.00.A slight delay by Mike, before the solo,sounds a little off.Still, a welcomed addition to the set.This is the only performance of Breath during the Canadian '05 Tour.So,its obviously a keeper version.

Nice 4 min speech by Ed before Small Town.Talking about the band,cows,sheep and stuff...lol.....the best line about small towns.."...but their's also bad things about small towns as well...it makes you want to get the fuck out." Thats classic...

Really rockin version of NFY.Ed screaming his head off, with the Modern Girl tag at the end,which,IMO,is mandatory.Jeremy follows (combined,one download with NFY) and as usual,is mega.The crowd is very into it,and singing along.Ed is feeding off them,and you can feel how worked up he is getting ,during the "Wooooo,woooo oh ".then the "Ah,Ah Ah" parts towards the ending..I can just see him losing it during this spot..and love when he's this into it...

A very loud,intense version of Blood ends the main set.... Atomic Dog tag is there as well...so its a keeper.

Encore review to follow in a bit....and this encore,by the way..is GREAT !!!
