  1. Originally posted by RUMMYWow! This looks awesome. My mixes are about the same length (2 CD's worth - haven't actually burned the discs until I get it just right). Whenever I make a mix of any given band (really just U2, Radiohead, Oasis, or Pearl Jam) certain classics must be on it. For better or worse, PJ has about almost 20 mandatory songs. I've broken down and am using tracks from the entire tour as "In My Tree" is in that list of 20 songs. Also, I'm starting with four openers in a row - the four you mentioned. I think there are two "Oceans" I could choose from as well...I'll save that for the 2003 compilation.

    Oh, wait. You're doubling this thing! That's one monster mix indeed.

    Just finished watching PJ20. Wow, this is one great movie. Loved the Italy 2006 footage - amongst everything else. Not to sound to cheesy but I've always said that hearing U2's "Streets" live is a near-religious experience for me. PJ's "Alive" is definitely in that category. Looking at the crowd as they performed it at the end of the film reminded me of how gret it was last month. It might not be everyone's favourite PJ song but I think it truly is their greatest hit. Soooo good.


    Yes,Alive is classic.Check the emotion out,Seattle,N2.They dropped it after the tragedy in Denmark.Then,the last show of the tour,they decided to play it again.

    The thing with my mixes,they are very very long, because I put them on playlists on my iPod.So,I can really go off,LOL.....Ill add the second part tomorrow...

    I saw PJ20 in the theatres, here in Manhattan, last month.Loved it....
  2. I hadn't realized that the Denmark tragedy was the last show on the European Tour. Did the accident occur DURING or AFTER the show? It appears that the show wasn't released as an official bootleg - understandably, of course.

    The (unfortunate) thing about long mixes is that I rarley have enough time to listen to them from start to finish.

    Great year to be both a U2 and PJ fan.

    during the show
    "There were still 40,000 people out there. They were ready for the show to start again. They started singing, 'I'm still alive.' Alive was going to be the next song. That was when my brain clicked a switch. I knew I would never be the same."

    here a "nice" article about the tragedy

    The second half Ill list tomorrow.Many a great show like Slovenia, Berlin,Hamburg,Norway,Verona and Stockholm will be included.Flows very well...IMO...Love this band....


    that's an amazing and great work Ed .. very well done
    i feel that for songs like Alive, Small town, Nothingman, Better man, Jeremy and alike an italian show is always, if not the best, a very very good choice.
    something similar to Still haven't found.

    @Mat .. it will end up to be a Monster mix and it could not be different for a detailed report of a PJ tour .. don't think in U2 style hehehe

    No. I only heard about it last week. I was wondering if some of the footage in PJ20 was also from that film. I am assuming it's quite good.

    I've been listening to my Italy 2006 mix. Those truly were five great shows. The crowd sounds great. Were you at any (all?) of them?


  8. Ha, ha. "Deep"....

    Here's hoping that you don't lose your mind like I have since Sept 11, 2011 (when I saw them live for the first time in 13 years and haven't really been able to listen to any other band since...aside from maybe a tiny bit of U2, of course).

    I "Long Road" indeed...you won't be saying "I Got Shit" with those two albums, that's for sure. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

    I've have now learned that when PJ plays two nights in your town, it's best to get tickets for both shows.

    U2 has 46 songs (aisde from never-been-released tracks) from a THREE-YEAR to choose from U22. Pearl Jam played 49 different songs in TWO NIGHTS in Toronto, 2011.

    Yes.As great as U2 are live,performance wise,they have never played a wide variety on a single tour,for that year.They have always done that,and I think that is the single reason why they dont release live shows,or numerous shows from a tour year.2005 was the exception from the norm.Different openers,and different encores each night,in 2005.

    Thanks alot.I will post part 2 today.I know its alot of songs,but I cant help but love how they play so many great songs,each and every night.Verona,Berlin and Hamburg will be represented.Salzburg is another solid gig,as is Slovenia.I was lucky enough to attend 3 of these great shows,Barcelona,London2 and Milan.Maybe Im biased,but I just love this leg.As I did with U2s European leg, in 2010.Must be my strong European roots,lol.

    The one song the band struggled with bigtime on this tour was,Insignificance.The slow break/middle section,the guitar riff is always off key.There is a clean version,from the last few European gigs from 2000.I will find it today.It might snow here in NYC.Weather is crazy here.Not a bad time to blast the last few gigs from Europe 2000.

    The Verona bootleg,has a great,great version of Immortality.EV finally remembers all the lyrics....lol

    Yes,the band were a good 12 songs in I believe.They just finished Daughter,and were about to play Alive.Thats when EV saw the bodies being pulled over the barricades.In the film,you can actually see him crying on the stage.That is one of the reasons he wouldnt sing Alive after that.Until the final night of the tour......
