in The Porch
The 2nd sold out night at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre is played 20 years ago today. My all time favorite show, at my all time favorite venue. Period. I was there front row center and it all seems like it was just yesterday. The atmosphere at Red Rocks is simply amazing.
While waiting in line in the sweltering heat for the entrance to open, the security guy at the top of the Amphitheatre let us in groups of 2 at a time to watch soundcheck. Pretty cool of him looking back now. My buddy and I couldn't figure out why "Jeremy" was being soundchecked so much. We soon found out why.
If you don't already have the "Steppin' Stones" unofficial silver bootleg, GO GET IT!!! Although there's a 3 source audio recording of this show as well and does sound better than "Steppin Stones". An amazing DVD of this show is in circulation.
PJ plays the first six songs seated in chairs (Stone sort of). An amazing set start to finish.
06/20/95 - Red Rocks Amphitheater: Morrison, CO [132m]
attendance: 9,000
support act: Bad Religion
set: Long Road, No Jeremy, Ship Song, Footsteps, Falling Down, Better Man, Last Exit, Spin the Black Circle, Animal, Tremor Christ, Corduroy, Not for You, Go, State of Love and Trust, Daughter/(This Boy), Garden, I've Just Seen a Face (Ed solo), Alive, Whipping, Lukin, Rearviewmirror/Improv (Words Seem Out of Place), Elderly Woman, Blood
enc 1: Black, Porch, Immortality
enc 2: Indifference
notes: PJ performs their first six songs seated, experiencing some of the effects of the altitude and taking a different approach from the previous night. 'Ship Song' is by Nick Cave. They get frustrated being seated (Stone declares, "All right, "fuck the seats") and they dump the chairs as they launch into 'Last Exit.'
'Falling Down' surfaces five years later, forming the melody for the song 'Distress' on The Rockfords album. 'RVM' is interrupted to break up a fight. ("What are you guys fighting for? This is a rock and roll concert.") PJ picks up the song right where they left off. A new, slower version of 'Jeremy' is premiered here. The impromptu 'I've Just Seen a Face,' a Beatles' tune, is sung by Ed a capella. 'This Boy' is a song by an LA band, That Dog. Ed's parting comment: "Thanks for coming up to the mountain with us."
