WOW! :eek: *picks jaw up off the floor* Wow! As if you weren't knocked out enough already by Red Mosquito, Rats!, Satan's Bed!...enter 12 minutes of PORCH PARADISE! Daaaaaaaaamn! From the beginning...Ed's fierce whispering of the words while he slowly strums along, the crowd coming in early and singing his part, the insanely kick ass-massivly tweaked out/shreddin/hypnotic/how are these sounds possible- jam session that goes on for daaaaaaays, the crowd participation...to the chunky guitar slides that follow, to BOOOOOM...to the way Ed's gorgoues "heey aahhh aww ooooh" eases it all back together and then just goes out as explosively as possible. OMG...just everything.

This version is AW-SOME! :o

    That was definitley my favourite song of the night, bar none.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Great thread VEDHEAD!!! This is definitely gotta go up there as one of the best versions of all time. They all bring it up to another level!

    Great, great version. kudos to the band!

    it was insane, wasn't it? great show, I just want to go to more! I'm on the hunt now for Philly tickets, lawn even! I am an addict!

    Even with the jazzy intro, did it seem off though? Maybe I need to listen to it again, I have to download the boot still.

    Yeah awesome version. But my damn neck hurt the next morning cause of it. Right up there with MSG 2 from 2003 for me. Best versions are when Mike goes back and forth with the crowd during the solo. But the slow intro should be the standard for the live version of the song. Song seemed alittle heavier or played alittle faster in Albany. I normally like an 8 minute version of Porch and and extra song. But after getting the boot and playing back it was a special moment.

    Actually, I think that Porch from Albany in 2003 is one of the finer versions.

    My personal favorite Porch performance is from State College, which was almost as long as this new Albany one. The Albany one is great, and must have been so amazing live. However, the boot does not have the best mix, and at times it comes off sounding like they aren't quite playing together which is not true of the Atlanta '94 jam or Stage College. But I almost got into a wreck listening to the Albany jam in my car so don't think I'm dismissing it. I dig the hell out of it.

    The main reason I prefer State College, beside the vaguely "Iron Man" (?) riff Jeff brings in and they then jam on for like 5 minutes, is Eddie's idealistic speech during the jam. If you haven't heard it, as the band keeps this uplifting beat in the background Eddie relates to the crowd for ever feeling powerless or insignificant before assuring them that each and every one of them is a force to be reckoned with (it's implied that this is speaking to the then upcoming Presidential election). It's vintage Eddie-the-political-pluralist, and I'm such a cynic that I now find the speech somewhat depressing because just as the Penn State college students and assorted others were a force so were the elderly and Religious Right in that same election. But the energy of the moment is so beautiful nonetheless.
