    but you can name examples of songs better in studio version than live? of course considering the best performance
    the Avocado for me is another album much more listenable live than studio.
    ok that the gap between studio and live for those 2 album is larger
    i'm not saying that studio the album are not great .. how could i .. i always listen to them with great pleasure


    The Milan show is just so great.Nothingman is off the charts.I love they way the crowd sing along during that tune,and all the others....
  2. Originally posted by RUMMYDo you recommend live mixes in the order that they are listed on the actual album or do you have an alternative ordering of the tracks.

    I've completed my first drafts of Seattle 2000, Mexico 2003, and Italia 2006 two-disc compilations. They are much better than the five-disc set of just random gigs spanning from 1995 to 2010 that I mad ein June,


    Depends.I like to mix the songs up usually. I dont like the order of the songs on Binaural.I think Of The Girl as the opening track is the way to go.Love the way it starts,its a slow burn live.Rival,Grievance,Gods Dice,Breakerfall,Evacuation,Insignificance,Light Years,Nothing As It Seems,Thin Air,Sleight Of Hand,Soon Forget,Parting Ways.

    I really like the way Of The Girl opened gigs in 2000.Try that mix with live versions from 2000 Tour.
  3. I'll give this a shot in the near future. I should take some time to actually listen to the mixes I've made. I feel like a drug addict.

    You two really seem to like the Europe 2000 shows. I haven't listen to those ones yet. Just wondering what is it about them that makes them so special.
  4. They are appealing to me.Its funny,my friend Chris,from London,doesnt listen to the London gigs much,that we attended.He loves the Jones Beach shows more,that we hit,at the end of the summer of 2000.The N.American gigs were great as well.The 3rd leg the band really put it in overdrive.But when I hear the Italian audience,singing word for word,durin Small Town or Nothingman,its just fantastic soundin to me.Hard to explain really.I love Europe.Been there dozens of times.Can't wait to go back in 2012.Its strange,each time I go there,U2 aren't on the road.Radiohead,PJ and Oasis are.Maybe Ill see Beady Eye next year in London.

    If only because you own every bootleg from 2000, any thoughts as to which shows I would take these Binaural songs from? [edit] I've downloaded "Of The Girl" from Milan.

    Please feel free to do the same with any other album!

    And how about you, Ronnie? Any recommendations?
  6. do you mean best perfomances of Binaural songs in 2000 tour or in general?
    have to think of it a bit
  7. I was meaning Binaural songs but feel free to discuss "in general" too. I appreciate that this may take some time but your opinion here is valued.
  8. I will put a list up of all the songs from 2000 European Tour first.Then I can list songs from the other 2 legs.The band picked 18 shows,out of the 72,that they thought were the best.The back of the bootleg,has a small picture of an ape,and a man.These were referred to as the apeman shows.Ill list those as well.
  9. Bought the PJ20 DVD yesterday and watched last night.....HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE.

    The end.

    I have heard about that...I'll look those ones up and work from them.

    I'd have just used the European leg of the 2000 tour but, according to setlistfm, Parting Ways wasn't played until they reached North America.

    True,same goes for In My Tree (08.06.00) and Breath (09.01.00).Im sure theres a few others as well.

    Alive, was dropped after the Roskilde tragedy.It wasnt played again until the last show of the year,Seattle N2.
  12. I dont really agree with the whole Apeman list.There are a couple of shows picked that,IMO,I dont think were so great.Example.Paris(06.08).This is an Apeman listed gig.Its good.But Prague(06.14)Berlin(06.25) and Hamburg(06.26) are superior shows.IMO of course.Stockholm(06.28) and Norway(06.29) are great shows as well,and as good,if not better than the Paris show.San Sebastian(05.26) CD1 is very intense.A fatastic first set.But side 2 is a mess.Many mistakes.So,obvioulsy I understand why it was left off.But you need to hear the first half at least,from that show.The breakdown during Alive,a complete mess.But a must hear.LOL

    Most of the N.American Apeman gigs I agree with.But the 2 shows in Philly(09.01&02)(Camden,NJ) are way superior to say,Atlanta(08.07) or WPB(08.12) that were picked over them.

    Each show is different.Yes,alot of the same songs appear.But what makes PJ so special,is the simple fact that,THEY PLAY DIFFERENT SETS EACH AND EVERY NIGHT.Sometimes EV does the set 10 min before they take the stage.I love his comments in PJ20.He said something to the effect of "I couldnt play the same set, each and every night.Some bands do this.Like every night.90% of the same songs.Id go mad".He should tell Bono this.
