    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.


    first you make me ratiocinate then you tempt me!!!! hehehe
    talking about Italy 2006 footage .. have you seen "Immagine in Cornice"?



  2. welcome to the "Long Road" .. oh well it depends on how deep you want to go ..

    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."

    This is my first half,monster first set MEGA mix of the European Tour.....A bit much so far ?..Maybe.....but there are so many classics.....I cant leave any of them out...LOL

    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?


  6. 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......

    Interesting read. It makes sense that the European Tour ended here. Embarrassingly, I initially thought it was a coincidence that the tragedy occurred on the last date as opposed to what really happened - them cancelling the remaining shows. Good for them. I am sure they put forth an extra something when they returned to Europe in 2003.
