Love for live on two legs

Such nostalgia with this album, think it was the third album I bought and remember driving around listening to it non stop for ages.

It was the summer of 99. It was my last year of summer camp, aka one of the last years of my childhood. When I was there that year, there was a guy who was a huge DMB fan...he'd open his eyes and tell someone to put on a certain CD, track number whatever he needed to get out of bed. I thought that was fairly amazing that he had such an encyclopedic knowledge of DMB...then again, I was still a kid.

His two favorites were probably Live at Luther College and I think there was a 3CD set in there with a green CD, but I'm probably mid-remembering that as Luther College which apparently was a two-CD set.

Anyhoo, I get home and am really hoping for one more summer so I could go into it knowing it'd be my final year, but it wasn't gonna happen.

So ...what's on the radio in fairly heavy rotation?

The Live on Two Legs version of Elderly Woman...and it instantly transports me back.

I'm a young, dumb, naive teen and I'm hearing DMB in that version of Elderly Woman. Do I care? No.

That song remains a masterpiece.

Fun times!  Being a kid in the 90's was great, and 99' was a great year.  I had Live at Luther College in rotation as well.  That is such a unique album in the DMB catalog, with just 2 acoustic guitars across 2 discs.  A great one.

Elderly Woman is def a masterpiece, along with the whole VS album (my favorite).  That song transports me back to 93' when I first picked up the VS album.  I had that one in HEAVY rotation.

Acoustic Pearl Jam songs are special.  Gives me a warm feeling.  Music for the soul.

I've recently revisited Live on Two Legs, as it's been a really long time since I've listened to it.  And every single song is a phenomenal version.  I'm completely blown away, again.

Strange that we don't have any 98 shows, right? Most/All of the shows would have been multitracked for LOTL?  As a broader question, I don't understand why we have such comprehensive coverage of some tours and jack shit from others.

It is strange. Guessing they are just waiting till the time is right to release some of those 1998 bootlegs on CD / Vinyl.

Didn’t we have the Los Angeles show from 1998 as a vault? 

rummy

Yep… as well as Washington DC and (most of) Melbourne. So we do indeed have a few ‘98 shows but I’d me more than happy to get a few more!

The crazier/funnier part was that I remember hearing Alive on the radio in the early 90s, mishearing that "But I'm glad we talked" line as "but I play guitar" and thinking it was a song about a guy who played guitar...hey, I was young teens at most.

It was in 1994 when Pink Floyd did a huge show near me and, naturally, the classic rock station was all hyped up as "THE BIGGEST THING EVER!!" anywhoo...modern/90s rock radio seemed to be playing Immortality and I thought that was a Pink Floyd song called "Trapdoor in the Sun." (Looking back on it, I DEFINITELY hear an influence. It's a long-ish song with some spacy/dreamy/PF vibes.)

I wish I could remember WTF Dave Matthews set was three CDs. Everything I've found tells me that Luther College was two CDs.

Legit every song is incredible.  Hopefully will go down as one of the finest live albums of all time. 

Speaking of Elderly Woman...  around the 2:40 mark... you distinctly hear the woman kinda half yelling, half laughing in joyous applause... 
I always liked that little nuance of the song on this album. 

WIshful thinking... but I would love to see an interview with Neil Young to get his take on that cover of Fuckin Up.   Pure rock, and Mike makes absolute magic as only he can.
