Still get goosebumps thinking about this gig, it was amazing! Wish I'd got tickets for Leeds too! Hope they come back to the UK soooooon.

Leeds is obviously the more anticipated bootleg by my GOD, Milton Keynes sounds fantastic. I've always loved how Go sounds at the bigger shows with the bigger speakers and it's the best version I've got, I think.

Was a great gig and have just downloaded the bootleg of the show.........another awesome PJ set........is there a bad one out there? .........i somehow doubt it. They are simply the best band on the planet and are getting better!
£20 for 4 beers though............but the free carrier was worth it!

If only the carrier brought the beers to you...

I'm currently reliving my second show ever, Milton Keynes. Brilliant sound, awesome crowd and the band was, as always, spot-on. Now what about these sequences?
1) Go -> Brain of J -> Comatose - Save You -> Hail, Hail -> Mind Your Manners -> Do The Evolution -> Got Some
2) Lightning Bolt - Nothing As It Seems -> Given To Fly -> Sirens
3) Let The Records Play -> Spin The Black Circle
& 4) Yellow Moon -> I'm The Answer -> Footsteps -> Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns -> Better Man
I love it when these thematically runs happen! They always lead to a setlist with a natural flow. Very cohesive. That set totally compensated me for not hearing Ghost. Oh, and how classy of them to play all these Punk-Rock / fast / up-tempo songs at the birthplace of Punk (England) on a perfect summer night. That was all I was hoping for: A real summer feast. Thank you gentlemen!
P.S: 1 Song 1 Show

Highlights for me - in no particular order - were the following: 3) I met two very kind girls from Surrey (non TC members) and 17) Eddie Vedder's little anecdote related to the recording of Black.

I find it quite amusing that when you think of the 'Seattle Sound' you think of sweaty, grungy, industrial nightclubs, and yet one of the bigger albums to come out of the Seattle scene was actually mixed in an old, idyllic English farmhouse amongst the rolling hills of Surrey with sheep and cows around. Mixing the album was a very pleasant experience. Because it was the first album from a new band, there were no great expectations, so we were very much left to work from our gut. And because the record was primarily like a live performance, there was a lot of space for me to be creative, and to have fun with it. With 'Oceans', for instance, I felt like I wanted to get a little bit more movement, but being miles away from the nearest music store I didn't want to sit around waiting for a delivery from London, so I went straight to the Ridge Farm kitchen and grabbed myself a pepper shaker and I used that to add to the rhythm. There was one more thing that I wanted to try, which was like an ambient cowbell, but again, I didn't have a cowbell, so this time I just took a fire extinguisher off the wall, got a couple of drum sticks and used that. It worked out pretty well, and gave a kind of eerie quality to the song. Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention, and the band were very appreciative of any input that I added. ~ Tim Palmer
