Cool, are we closer to getting a version 1?

Yes, I think we're making progress - getting closer! I think the Portugal Smile is a lot better, and I think the Hartford In My Tree is a great contender - would like to see what electricxlovex thinks of Hartford as a choice, since she has had some issues with the In My Tree and listened to quite a few alternatives I think

okay, don't hate me...but I'm not too keen on the Hartford "In My Tree" - it starts off alright-ish and it's a solid performance but I don't know... Then again, I'm finding it difficult to compare the 2 that I can't choose between - possibly because I've listened to them so much

I can't choose between Toledo, North Charleston and I'm adding Hartford to that list because I know that two of you guys liked it.

I like all 3, I can't choose :(

PilateOfTheStorm

okay, Listening to Hartford again
It sounds better now, I took a bit of a break from listening. SQ is good ish but I still can't choose between North Charleston and Hartford. North Charleston SQ is equally as good IMO

After a short break Myra, Tremors, Electricxlovex, and myself thought it was time to tackle the "No Code" album. "No Code" is the only studio album that the Projects team has not given the "live" treatment to, and we figured that we would save the best for last.


Here are some parameters that we would like to go by for this project:


-All songs must be from the 1996 Tour.

-We will add 3-4 bonus songs at the end, which will be covers/B-sides/Improvs from the 1996 Tour.

-Best SQ as possible.

-Repeat Shows and Venues will be allowed for this Project.

-No songs from the other Pearl Jam studio albums will be considered for bonus tracks.


Please feel free to use this thread to make suggestions and give us feedback as to what would be good to include on this new compilation (and what wouldn't be good). I will be updating the working track list for this project on the front page of this thread (right here). Our plan is to slowly start putting this together on Monday (April 18th) and have it completed and ready for download by or before next Saturday (April 23rd).

Is a difficult choice! I do think the SQ is better for Hartford - particularly for the instruments - the drums and the guitars, and the playing is tight - all this makes it a polished performance.

When compared with N. Charleston though, Hartford sounds less impassioned - particularly on the vocals - which sound a bit less intense by comparison. Hartford overall sounded to me tighter, and stronger musically, whereas Charleston got to me more, and gave me more of an emotional reaction.

Very tough, I could imagine people preferring Hartford for the reasons above - but I think if I had to choose between them I would favour N. Charleston - because of a more passionate vocal,

We probably need to see which other people prefer overall

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this incredibly difficult
It's because I cherish that song so much, means a lot and a lot

So it's between Hartford and North Charleston
who's going to win ?

I agree with this. ^

With this ^, not so much.

I think Hartford has a better SQ than North Charleston.

But North Charleston is not bad sound-wise and sure is a lot better than a lot of 96 boots.

I understand how you guys found it hard to choose between the two.

At first, I thought I liked N. Charleston better, because of the emotion it delivers. This version is special for this reason, I reckon.

Yet, this is not exactly the feeling I expect to get out of this song. Quite the opposite actually. To me, it's always been a very uplifting song, liberated and carefree - 'high' (in more than one sense ). So, although it's interesting to get the exact opposite feeling this time, I'd still favor Hartford over Charleston.

Comparing both of them with Berlin, I admit they stand out, even though I saw nothing wrong with this Berlin version we had in the first place.

So that's one vote for Hartford over N. Charleston and over Berlin.

Yeah Smile Portugal 2 I like a lot! Louder version, quite energetic, noisy crowd, but good atmosphere - cheering in the middle - 'Portugal, Portugal' chant at the end, which I always like, but we don't need to include. Good high energy cheerful version

I think it's better than Hamburg, and doesn't have the complication of being already known. The SQ is sounding fine through my hi fi speakers - but I've not heard on headphones

You're listening to Cascais 2, right ?
Listening to them all again.
For as much as I think that we need to change the current Smile, I think this version suffers from a very bad SQ, worse than Hamburg actually. Especially at the beginning, where we need it to be good. After a while, not so much, but that's probably because I get used to it.
I mean, we can try to change it in favor of Cascais 2 for Version 1, but I don't think it'll improve anything. I hope I'm wrong though, I do (as usual ) like the sing-along.

Possibility for extras, but don't really think they're needed....

This is exactly what I am thinking. If it came down to just 'Leaving Here' as a bonus, then I would be fine with that.

There's a chance i may be able to increase the volume of I'm Open, as I find it's a little quiet compared to the rest of the project.

I increased the volume quite a bit from the original. I afraid that anymore may cause distortion, but I will try for V1

Sweet! Hartford kicking ass!

TheRealDanPatch

Are the changes correct so that we can proceed with Version 1?

-New 'Smile': Portugal 2?

-In My Tree: Hartford

-Up volume on I'm Open and put back the last 10-15 seconds


Somebody get me this info soon and I can send out V1. I would like to be able to shoot this out tonight. Next to days are way too busy for me, so the more I can do now the better.

PS. I am not keen on Barcelona 'Smile'. We have Been there, done that (ATS: NC Live).

Re : Smile
I'd say change it to the Portugal 2 version and we'll figure from there. Anyway, the alternative is that of the Rough Draft (I guess :? ), so that'll make for an easy comparison (flow / SQ).
