I think I have that show on dvd. I can rip the audio from it if you want that.
06/13/99 - Alpine Valley Music Theatre: East Troy, WI (Ed with C Average at Tibetan Freedom Concert)
attendance: 31,000
set: Last Kiss (EV solo), Better Man (no tag), Watch Outside (Mono Men), Driven to Tears (Police), Running Out of Time (Dead Moon), Diamonds In The Rough (Dead Moon), Love -> Building on Fire (Talking Heads), I Am A Patriot
notes: Ed takes the stage solo (with noticeably longer blonde hair), commenting "... this place holds fond memories." He starts clapping, getting the audience to put-on, saying "Well, I don't know if this is going to work..." pointing to the empty drum and bass positions, and pretends to ask random people in the crowd to join him on stage, prompting his bandmates C Average to come up from the audience to join him. They then go into 'Better Man,' which the band had not ever rehearsed! After 'Driven to Tears,' he jokes about how they'd been rehearsing, that they'd been putting us on, and hoped it was okay. The two Dead Moon cover songs are performed from handwritten lyric sheets. (Ed received permission from Dead Moon to play these songs in advance.) 'Patriot' is totally different--a very cool punk version with Ed having a blast and doing a lot of windmills. On the setlist but not performed: Naked Eye, Ship Song (Nick Cave), World Where You Live (Crowded House), Corduroy. However, the setlist was not necessarily a firm document - Ed called out the songs one at a time as the spirit (or whatever) moved him.
Is it this one?
that's the show...i already have an audience recording. i'm looking for the soundboard version that's out there. if the sound on the dvd is from the soundboard i'd love it. i already have 3 mp's from this show (that i got off of TSIS), so i know it's out there.
thanks.

i'm like an opening band for the sun...

OK, so I THINK these are most of the shows I've shared that still have active links. If any of the links are dead, please let me know and I'll edit them out. Sorry if I put any duplicates up.
Sorry guy's I wanted to keep it in Lossless (FLAC) format, so it's broken up into 6 parts.I guess I could MP3 it when I get some time, but I know it'll be a busy week for me. If someone else would like to convert to MP3 and upload for the anti-flacer's lol that would be wonderful! Hope you all enjoy!

U can upload via BIT TORRENT on bt.etree.org, isohunt.com, oink(if ur a memeber), dimeadozen.org, thepiratebay...etc...if your not sure how to do it, it really is easy if you just read the FAQs.

lol i can agree w/ you on that one...but it's still kinda cool to hear some of the songs ev wrote back in the day, and to hear what HE did.
I always loved listening to Betterman on this demo because it's so different from the studio version - and to me, seems more real/raw as he intended it to be if that makes sense (not that there is anything wrong/w the studio version - obviously he changed some parts there for his own reasons) - I'd had this demo far before vitalogy, so it was pretty neat to see BM on that album and hear the differences....I didn't expect to see that song come to light - most songs on that demo disc haven't - and, lol for good reason!
set: Gimme Some Truth, Grievance, Insignificance, Given to Fly, Light Years, Nothing As It Seems, I Am Mine, Better Man, Do the Evolution, Long Road (with Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan)
notes: This benefit for hunger was webcast. Opening with Lennon's 'Gimme Some Truth' and then strongly accelerating through 'Grievance' and 'Insignificance,' it appears that PJ is ready to plug in after the prior two night's acoustic shows! Ed sets the guitar aside halfway through 'Insignificance,' grabbing it and taking an ebow to it in the modified midsection breakdown. There's a bit of a false start to 'Light Years,' but it's 'GTF' with 'Light Years' following. Ed holds a high note for a long time during 'Better Man' and the whole band picks up during the jam at the end (with the "This is one of those times, you've got to try; won't you please, be mine ... don't let me down ..." tag). 'DTE' just kicks ass-wow! Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan vocalizes halfway through 'Long Road,' and he and Ed share a long embrace while Ed plays out on guitar to close the song and the set. Very touching moment.
During R.E.M.'s set (following PJ's), they play about 1/3 of 'Better Man' (jury is out as to whether it was affectionate or mocking) and then during a fiery 'People Have The Power' inserted into the middle of 'It's the End of the World As We Know It,' Ed comes running behind the drumkit from stage right to a microphone set up for him stage left. Ed sings backing vocals and takes a verse and imitates Michael dancing when they go back into 'ITEOTW,' and even sings a few bars, and the two hug for an extended period of time (both wearing little fedoras) at the end. Unexpected and surprisingly intense ending to tonight's show.
The original setlist from tonight's show (from the soundboard): Grievance, Given To Fly, Insignificance, Light Years, Nothing As It Seems, I Am Mine, Better Man, Gimme Some Truth, Do The Evolution, I Got Shit, Long Road
"hear my name, take a good look, this could be the day."
