She isnt into heavy rock music so the mix is a lot of mellow tunes.. Hopefully this mix will work as a good introduction to PJ. What do you think?

I organised it into a bit of a love story. :D

Its about the guy searching for love and changing his ways, losing the person somehow, doing some soul searching and meeting her again later in life.

LBC
Off He Goes (live)
Down
Lowlight
Amongst the waves
thin air
unthought known
nothingman
I am mine (live)
daughter (its OK) (live)
Small town (live)
just breathe
come back
betterman (live)

anything im missing? i dont want it to be any longer. If anything its gotta be shorter. otherwise the focus will get lost.

    you missed one very important song.....black...maybe MTV unplugged or Benaroya Hall, my personal favourite is Atlanta 94. but other then that nice list, if you were to make nothingman a live track, i would suggest seattle 2000 night 2, hard to make a decision between that and the studio version...

    nice list, but you are missing some of the greats
    all or none (this could be the best mellow song they have)
    nothing as it seems
    immortality
    indifference
    footsteps
    around the bend

    LBC
    Off He Goes (live 06)
    Down
    Lowlight
    Amongst the waves
    given to fly (live 00)
    light years (live 00)
    nothingman
    Indifference (live 09 brisbane) - REALLY GOOD VERSION with B/H
    I am mine (live)
    daughter (its OK) (live 00)
    Small town (live 06)
    just breathe
    come back
    betterman (live 06)

    I am really tempted to put all or none in there because its one of my favs.. But i dont want to put many depressing songs on there. I think she would like songs like thin air and come back better than songs like immortality and indifference.
    hmmm?

    I love live versions of every song better, but do you think for a first time listener studio is the way to go?

    I got obssessed with the band starting with studio. but now i dont listen to many studio versions at all.

    I'd add the Save It for Later tag on Better Man

    well if you want to turn her on to the band

    you cannot leave them off


    and if she likes comeback better than immortality-shes not the girl for you ;)

    indifference-its cool when BH sings, but you just cant beat EV-find a version without BH-IMHO

    EDIT: screw it man, just burn the Benaroya show :!:

    The studio version of "all or none" has a lengthy break of silence until the "hidden track" if I remember correctly, & that would definitely destroy your flow too.

    I know your trying to keep the depressing tracks too a minimum but no love for Thumbing My Way???, not even a metion of that track yet and it's by far my fav song.

    the reason i like this particuluar indifference with BH. is because its the first one ive heard where ben puts his own singing style into it. then when ed comes in to do his verses its heaps more powerful. Ive heard many versions with BH that are lame, but this one isnt :)


    Release (live anywhere)

    I suggest you add in your list "Thumbing my way" and "Crazy Mary".
    I know all the rules but the rules do not know me!

    cool man

    although I would switch the indifference and immortality

    indifference is always a great way to finish

    Seems like most things have been mentioned, I'd add Of The Girl, Fatal and Strangest Tribe.

    no live version can match the beauty of Indifference studio version. I prefer listening to most of my PJ songs live (boots). That said, Indifference on vs. just can't be topped.

    Hey guys, I'm also making a PJ mix as a gift for a friend. She has a somewhat differing taste in music but has expressed that she really likes some PJ so I'm just kind of arranging this by feel and I would appreciate any suggestions from all you helpful peeps on the board :D .

    Here is what I've come up with so far:

    LBC
    In Hiding
    Black
    Corduroy
    Light Years
    Fatal
    Wishlist
    Dissident
    Come Back
    Hard To Imagine
    Immortality
    Present Tense
    Footsteps
    Indifference
    Faithful
    Better Man
    Alive

    I think it seems to flow quite well but I would appreciate any helpful advice.
    Oh and a Merry Christmas to you all!!!! :P

    Kudos to the OP for including Daughter/(It's Ok) from Jones Beach 2000. Im assuming it's this one, from Touring Band.
