Here's one borrowed from the 2005-2006 Download thread that I'd consider epic. 31 songs. the Little Wing tag is the full version of the song, which is sweet. it has a very cool setlist; Alive as the opener. Evenflow ending the second set. Fuckin Up AND Rockin'. Lots of cool stuff.
Set 1: Alive, Life Wasted, Severed Hand, Save You, Insignificance, Unemployable, Brain Of J., Red Mosquito, Given To Fly, Last Exit, Hail Hail, Small Town, Better Man, Daughter(War), Whipping, Leatherman, Down, Do The Evolution, Undone, Rearviewmirror
Encore 1: Thumbing My Way, Masters Of War, Footsteps, Crown Of Thorns, Alone, Even Flow
Encore 2: Corduroy, Fuckin' Up, Rockin' In The Free World, Yellow Ledbetter/Little Wing
I'll second this one ... Amazing setlist, and the performance is top-notch as well. Just listened to this one on Saturday.
Atlantic City 10-1-05 because Ace Frehley did RITFW
Camden 5-27-06 because of Present Tense
I just got Honolulu, HI 12-2-06. That should be on there for Hawaii '78.
Yea, i agree with that Atlantic City show. Small intimate venue(BORGATA), that holds around 3,000. They OPENED with Present Tense. Plus, EDDIE played GONE for the FISRT time, which we all know ended up on AVACADO.

I have 3 shows uploading now, and Newcastle is going to be on the next list, i'll have it up probably mid-day tomorrow. That was my old link on the 05/06 thread, but i'm going to rip it from FLAC tonight, so it'll sound a little cleaner.

great thread quick question though... is it only for American shows? Cos that's the only possible reason for Copenhagen 07 being off that list
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable

Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you

I can think of another reason: the recording is almost completely missing Mr Mike McCready. Killer show though.
It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

Buffalo '03 is better than MSGII '03. I was at both and have listened to both boots a lot. MSGII '03 IS crazy underrated (as a boot, especially as compared to MSGI '03) although it flys along way to fast.
Buffalo '03 is the ultimate sleeper show/boot. Everyone there that night knew it was one of their top 10 shows ever, but no one else beleived it because a) Penn State happened the next night and b) it was friggin Buffalo. The energy and musicianship translate well to the boot. I have over 100 shows in my collection and think it is a must have (even though I am biased).
from the concert chronology:
05/02/03 - HSBC Arena: Buffalo, NY [164m]
support act: Sparta
preset: You've Got to Hide Your Love Away (Ed solo)
set: Love Boat Captain, Brain Of J, Hail Hail, Save You, Corduroy, Elderly Woman, I Got Shit, Even Flow, Faithfull, Deep, Given To Fly, Spin The Black Circle, Wishlist, Green Disease, Insignificance, Black, Go
enc 1: Free Jazz, Driven To Tears, Better Man, Crazy Mary, Do The Evolution, Alive
enc 2: Soon Forget, Smile, Fortunate Son, Sonic Reducer, People Have The Power
enc 3: Baba O'Riley, Yellow Ledbetter
notes: During 'Hail Hail,' Ed forgets the next line after, "I get the words and then I get to thinking ..." and says "What's the next line, I always forget," not missing a beat. No talk until after 'I Got Shit': "Here it is, the second-to-last night of the tour of this leg ... going home for a while after this and watch the world turn round ... You'd always think that ... you'd want to see a band on their last night ... that's when they'd really let it all hang out ... but being in the band, we realize it's different ... it's really the second-to-last show" [that is the special one]. 'Faithfull' is subbed into the setlist in response to a sign on Mike's side, gets off to a bad start and is restarted. 'GTF' is dedicated to Buffalo filmmaker Vincent Gallo. Wishlist' is stretched to 9 minutes and contains a lovely tag, including:
"... I wish that I was a disease, a disease called love and peace
and I wish that I could spread, to every person in the land
and I know that eventually, and I hope that eventually
and I feel, I feel, feel; that it wont happen without you and me
it'll take you and me, it'll take you and me
and more than me, it'll take you
and more than me, it starts with two
and then becomes ten; and then becomes ten thousand
and then becomes ten million; and then becomes ... the truth
the truth, the future, and the truth
send home those troops, come on troops
seek more troops ..."
Returning for the encore, the band seems to have trouble getting started and go into 'Free Jazz,' with Mike yelling "jazz jazz jazz ... experimental jazz!" until they find their way to the start of 'Driven To Tears.' At the start of the second encore, Ed notes toasts Buffalo, noting that they make the best Mozzarella in the world and he observes that venues such as the HSBC Arena often have curfews, and that breaking them costs bands lots of money. As people start booing, he says, "Mike McCready is gonna pay the fine tonight," (prompting a "Mike" chant). He then introduces Luke the uke and plops a Bill Gates mask atop the mic stand. Ed is confused whether the crowd is saying "Luuuuke" or booing. "Are you angry that it's black and white and not red, white and blue?" He talks about the mask, commenting, "He's a skinny little guy ... note the size of his penis," (or lack of same, as he sizes up the mic stand) leading to 'Soon Forget.' 'Smile' is played by request for a group of friends who attended the Uniondale show and held up various signs and towels with 'Smile' written on them. (After the Bushleaguer incident, Ed sees the 'Smile' signs and says to the group, "tomorrow night, tomorrow night, next show," and the band delivers.) For 'People Have the Power,' Ed invites a young lady ("Nana, from the heart of Buffalo") on stage to hold the lyrics up for him. At first she seems nervous, but as the song progresses, she is more confident and by the end, is rocking right out. Great singalong and a long, impassioned, powerful version with the crowd chanting back the chorus, Eddie yelling "let's hear you!!" and asking, "It's the ultimate goal, yeah?" Ed and Nana do a back-to-back lean, and Nana helps sing the closing chorus into the mic. At the song's end, Ed gives her a great, dramatic dip. This version is so good that most thought it was the close of the show and are stunned when the band returns for the third encore. When they come back to the stage, Ed says, "We had a democratic vote backstage and the verdict was: It's Friday night ... what the fuck." At the beginning of 'Baba,' the house lights are turned up and people from the stands rush the floor area as security give up trying to control the crowd as the band and the audience go crazy. Classic show.

if you're going crazy ol-school I think Zurich '92 is more deserving of "ledgendary" status than Pinkpop...Pinkpop was an insane but short set, but Zurich is a little longer and is basically the "Mamasan show"
again, from the concert chronology:
06/18/92 - Volkshaus: Zurich, Switzerland [85]
attendance: 500
set: Oceans, Even Flow, Why Go, Jeremy, State of Love and Trust, Improv (Love You Hate You), Black, Alive, (I'm Not Crazy)/Once, Footsteps, Deep, Leash, jam (Shower the People/Brass in Pocket/Meaningless), Porch, Improv/Suggestion/Garden, Rockin' in the Free World
notes: PJ is in a good mood and Ed recalls last time when they played in Switzerland in a very small place with no amps and how cool it was. The "Mamasan trilogy" is performed and explained as follows: "The next three songs ... we've never really played them together, but they go together. You wanna hear about it? I never told anybody about this before. I don't wanna ruin any interpretations of the songs that you have, but it's about incest and it's about murder and all those good things. And if you can picture it in your mind, the third song takes place in a jail cell so this is our own little mini-opera here ..." and 'Alive' is played. The second song of the trilogy, 'Once,' has a lead in: "What you did to me, ain't right ... problem child ... cuz I ain't crazy. Once upon a time ..." and Ed screams into a raging 'Once.' And just before "Footsteps,' "So this is act three." 'Shower the People' is a James Taylor cover. 'Brass in Pocket,' is a Pretenders song with the lyrics revised a bit. ("I'll kick the fuck outta you ... I don't give a fuck.") Ed refers to 'Suggestion' as, "... the same song my dad used to sing to me when he beat me." A great show featuring an excellent version of 'Porch.'

I think most of these '92 Euro shows are insane, wild, intense, great shows...but I don't know they all fall into the "epic" category like Atlanta '94, Soldier Field '95, Randalls '96, MSGII '98, etc. I brought up Zurich '92 because of the Mamasan element which is really essential to the genesis of PJ.
I'm not trying to be critical - what you are doing is awesome. Just trying to put in a little perspective and opinion. Virtually every PJ is great in some way or another, I know it's hard to cut the super-special list short, but...
ok, i'm a noob. what is a "rar" file or whatever? how do you get these into mp3 format to put into itunes?
With the Newcastle show, I noticed there was no file extension and I could not get the file to extract, so I renamed it with a .rar at the end and that solved my problem...maybe the Vic is the same way? I'm not sure.

Buffalo '03 is the ultimate sleeper show/boot. Everyone there that night knew it was one of their top 10 shows ever, but no one else beleived it because a) Penn State happened the next night and b) it was friggin Buffalo. The energy and musicianship translate well to the boot. I have over 100 shows in my collection and think it is a must have (even though I am biased).

This version is so good that most thought it was the close of the show and are stunned when the band returns for the third encore. When they come back to the stage, Ed says, "We had a democratic vote backstage and the verdict was: It's Friday night ... what the fuck." At the beginning of 'Baba,' the house lights are turned up and people from the stands rush the floor area as security give up trying to control the crowd as the band and the audience go crazy. Classic show.

again, from the concert chronology:
06/18/92 - Volkshaus: Zurich, Switzerland [85]
attendance: 500
set: Oceans, Even Flow, Why Go, Jeremy, State of Love and Trust, Improv (Love You Hate You), Black, Alive, (I'm Not Crazy)/Once, Footsteps, Deep, Leash, jam (Shower the People/Brass in Pocket/Meaningless), Porch, Improv/Suggestion/Garden, Rockin' in the Free World
notes: PJ is in a good mood and Ed recalls last time when they played in Switzerland in a very small place with no amps and how cool it was. The "Mamasan trilogy" is performed and explained as follows: "The next three songs ... we've never really played them together, but they go together. You wanna hear about it? I never told anybody about this before. I don't wanna ruin any interpretations of the songs that you have, but it's about incest and it's about murder and all those good things. And if you can picture it in your mind, the third song takes place in a jail cell so this is our own little mini-opera here ..." and 'Alive' is played. The second song of the trilogy, 'Once,' has a lead in: "What you did to me, ain't right ... problem child ... cuz I ain't crazy. Once upon a time ..." and Ed screams into a raging 'Once.' And just before "Footsteps,' "So this is act three." 'Shower the People' is a James Taylor cover. 'Brass in Pocket,' is a Pretenders song with the lyrics revised a bit. ("I'll kick the fuck outta you ... I don't give a fuck.") Ed refers to 'Suggestion' as, "... the same song my dad used to sing to me when he beat me." A great show featuring an excellent version of 'Porch.'

I think most of these '92 Euro shows are insane, wild, intense, great shows...but I don't know they all fall into the "epic" category like Atlanta '94, Soldier Field '95, Randalls '96, MSGII '98, etc. I brought up Zurich '92 because of the Mamasan element which is really essential to the genesis of PJ.
I'm not trying to be critical - what you are doing is awesome. Just trying to put in a little perspective and opinion. Virtually every PJ is great in some way or another, I know it's hard to cut the super-special list short, but...
With the Newcastle show, I noticed there was no file extension and I could not get the file to extract, so I renamed it with a .rar at the end and that solved my problem...maybe the Vic is the same way? I'm not sure.
