It's funny b/c this is the song that got me thinking it would be cool if they did 2 cuts of the boot. One with a great band/crowd mix. And one with the crowd turned up. I don't know how that would wind up turning out. And, it's not happening anyway. I guess in a lot of ways - that's the audience recordings (but not REALLY).
But, along with the DVD, I hope they are taking great pains to figure out just the right mix to get the impact of this. It really was something else.
I couldn't agree more - a HUGE part of that whole weekend was the crowd participation...just hearing everyone singing along is what really makes it special for me. I really really hope the mix reflects that!
Me too, the weekend wouldn't have been what is was without both the fans and the band.
I'm starting to get tired of waiting for the boots, etc. 6 months is a long time.
That said, I'll still buy whatever they release, if they ever do it!
We waited 7 months for the Spectrum shows. If they do include any type of Blu-Ray/DVD with these boots we could be looking at waiting until the 1 year Anniversary of the event.

They have to include the crowd for at least songs like Release and Black..and so many others...hearing the crowd singing along will definitely help to recreate the vibe of that amazing weekend

Completely agree. It really bums me out when they drown out the crowd for the mixes of a lot of the boots. I think that it takes away the energy from the shows that the crowd creates.

I agree, I know it's about the music but when you listen to good audience boots you just feel the energy more. At this point almost every boot sounds the same to me.

Yeah I could see that. I'm just not going to think about them any more. If they show up, great. If not, at least I was there!
If they truly had a plan going into the weekend, you would think 6 months would be enough though, no?
Hahaha, I just gotta stop reading threads title with Alpine.

We finally agree on something!!!
I do agree that a lot of the boots are starting to sound the same, although some of the SA shows are outstanding...I think the crowd is just too damn loud to drown out. I really hope that the offical PJ20 boots don't kill the crown completely...that would be pretty disappointing.

Oh I completely agree that 6 months is plenty of time and I'm with you I really don't ever think about them anymore. That way when they do announce a date I will be exicted for it. I haven't even listened to any audience recordings or youtube videos. I'm going in with fresh ears.
Last night I had a long talk with RKCNDY and we reminisced about Alpine... we'll never stop doing that.
nice...

I really and truly wouldn't mind going back to Alpine for PJ25. I know, I know..they say it's never as good the 2nd time, but if it's even half as good as the first time it will still be one of the best times I've had.
Listening to Unthought Known from Alpine now and smiling from ear to ear.
maybe i'll actually get to sleep in a bed this time at the super 8
you can room with me and unlost conman...share the hide-a-bed with 81...
just kidding...you can sleep in the bathtub.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

same here. no doubt about it!! back to the Super 8!
I drove past Delavan a few weeks ago on my way up north - every time I pass it up I get a big grin and just think of how amazing that whole weekend was. Next time I go I'm putting a PJ20 sticker on the Delavan sign!
