    "sad" but true looking back at the last 5(-6) years
    2009-10 are quite emblematic years .. when they were supposed to promote Backspacer
    4-5 shows in Europe and before the release of the album which came out in the middle of the US tour
    and 2010 almost the same.
    they're not much about promoting stuff but if they don't do a proper tour when they release a lbum ... when they should do?

    3 hrs...a solid mix of PJs gigs in Europe.Katowice 2,Milan,Verona,Berlin and Hamburg are must haves IMO.Salzburg is close,and for me it is a personal favorite,as I have visited that country many times,and love it.......for me,its a must have...grab it after listening to the 5 aforementioned shows...


  5. ^I'll use your suggestions to make a single three-CD collection (for now), then listen to all the gigs in their entirity (a few times each), and THEN go bigger.

  6. Ed' Europe 2000 "MUST HAVE" tracker:
    San Sebastian
    Praha
    London N2
    Berlin
    Hamburg
    Milan
    Verona
    Katowice N2

    (only 8?)


  7. Well.. Cardiff (06.06) Salzburg (06.18) and Oslo (06.29) are also top gigs.Listen to the top 8 from Europe,then those 3.Cardiff is the best of those 3,IMO,followed by Salzburg.I don't want you or anyone else to OD on all the gigs.You are over a decade behind Matt....lol
  8. Well I already have a problem that I am not trying to cure so an overdose is inevitable.
  9. LOL..ok then,just pace yourself Matt....
  10. For the last 10 days or so,I have been listening to the 1st leg,of the 2003 North American Tour.There are some really great shows from this leg.Its hard to know what shows to listen to,since there are so many released gigs to choose from.I have listened to basically every show the band have released since 2000.This took some time,but I have been a slightly over the top fan since the bands inception,so it really wasnt too hard to do.


    The first 2 that come to mind are Raleigh NC 04.15.03 and Charlotte NC 04.16.03.These 2 are above average,and the band are on fire.

    Another very popular show from that week,Atlanta,GA 04.19.03.Crown Of Thorns is performed,with Brendan O'Brien on keys.

    There are 5 classic standout MUST HAVE shows in April, after Atlanta.St Louis 04.22,Champaign 04.23,Pittsburgh 04.26,Philly 04.28 and Nassau 04.30.The Nassau gig had the infamous near riot,after EV came out wearing the Bush mask.I was at this great show,and it was not pretty,and I will leave it at that.......

    After the Nassau fiasco,the band played another 2 MUST HAVE stunning shows in Buffalo NY 05.02.03 (3CDs) and Penn State PA 05.03.03 (3CDs).Both shows are very long,but fantastic.Penn ST was released commercially.
  11. You two OWN this topic, it's astounding
  12. It just show that Matt,Ronnie and I are absolutely mental for PJ...LOL
