Favorite PJ Improv

edited March 2008 in The Porch
The Out of My Mind thread got me digging thru my CDs to find the Not For You single, popped it in and after listening to it for the first time in a few years: WHAT AN IMPROV! Lyrics, melody, beat, good song never mind improv.

Anyway, what are some of the best, most fully developed, PJ Improvs?

There was one from Boston in 2000 that was pretty memorable...Falling Down in Red Rocks, anyone else have any? (trying to find the Boston improv, but haven't located it yet).

    Definitely 2.7.92...between Porch and Garden.

    Unreal- it's so tight for an absolute improv- verses, chorus, solo, jams, just tremendous.

    I call it the 'I think I'll Stay' Improv

    After segueing from the solo back into the verse, Ed remarks, "This is like a real song!"

    Somewhere in Europe from 2000. I don't have time to go find which show, but the lyrics start out with......."I left home, three? years ago...."
    I think it was just Mike and Ed, beautiful music.

    I'm not sure if this is an improv it may be a cover but pretty sure it's improv. The one where it's something along the lines of "I left home 3 years ago, I came back I was alone..." that whole thing is just so amazing to me. I believe it was from the 2000 tour.

    Scroll back up a couple posts.......must be a great improv.

    One of the Boston shows in 1998. The intro to habit, I'm not sure if it's an imrov or a cover. It's short, but very cool.

    I remember listening to the song Meaningless on an old cassette boot that I had in the 1990s.  Love the sound of the song.

    The first tour I attended (binaural), I got lucky and got a great improv in one of the Boston shows (aka Great Woods aka Mansfield lol). I thought maybe I was biased because i was there, but it still holds up years later.

    (2000) Mansfield I, Mansfield II (2003) Montreal (2005) Montreal, Ottawa (2006) Albany (2008) Montreal I + II (EV) (2022) Québec City
