The 2008 Tour: Building the ultimate compilation
Go Animal
Posts: 4,024
So I have the urge to build a compilation of the best performances of each song (and in some cases ONLY song) and make my own mini-boxset bootleg celebrating probably the best tour they've had in a decade.
I suppose the only real way would be to start threads with a "Best version of Small Town" etc. (and yes, Even Flow too -the best solo wins!- ) also "Best version of Alive" poll, of course accounting for Mamasan continuity. Stuff like that. 'Smile', 'Satan's Bed', 'Guaranteed', 'Black Diamond' = all the one off's are, well... guaranteed.
So i'm creating this thread to see if anyone would like to chip in, i'll probably be purchasing every show, if I have to. I'm gonna build it in chronological order from WPB to Beacon (or Mansfield II, if not available - let's make some torrents happen, people!!)
Any suggestions are welcome, especially if you were party to different versions of each song. Figure i'll try to build each volume to disc length, approx. 80 mins. each, and burn from FLAC using Nero, but i'm also open to suggestions on that front too.
Post about whichever show you wish, but i'll start with the black sheep of the tour, the rough draft if you will. I have'nt heard it yet, but just from looking at the set list, these are some early contenders:
06-11-08 West Palm Beach, FL
Oceans*
Faithfull
Unemployable
Dissident
Who You Are
Low Light
Gone
Glorified G
Do The Evolution
Inside Job
Comatose
Rearviewmirror
It Rains On Me*
* = WPB exclusive
So... thoughts?

It gets trickier, because alot of these were highlights at Roo, MSG & Hartford, so here's where the "best versions" really start to factor in.

I'm going to keep a close eye on this thread, as I think its a great idea and will likely throw the chosen performances into a playlist myself. Thanks for thinking of it!
this version was hands down the best i've heard, and was the greatest song of the night. no way to not use. you'll hear it when you get th bootleg. U was really cool too.

Curious to see which venue had the best versions of 'Yield' tunes, also a couple songs that were only played here & DC, so anyone who went to either or both, feel free to chime in with your thoughts!

I'll give you Love Reign O'er Me, but I will have to hear the crowd & the build up compared between Tampa & MSG for 'Present Tense'

I concur 100%, but then again, Hartford was the best show
Breakerfall & Smile are locks, pretty sure Not For You & In Hiding are locks too, but I need feedback on Immortality.

I think their's gonna be a knockdown drag-out fight between the Roo goers & the MSG goers over that one.
I want to say Roo, but I have'nt heard MSG yet.
Anybody go to both?

Damn, Hartford was GOOD!

I never thought for an instant i'd ever hear Blood live, and there it was in all it's funk-ass glory... WITH ATOMIC DOG tag!@!!! Just to sweeten it all, most of the crowd knew the words and the light show was off the hook. Red, red & more fucking RED!!
God, Hartford was the SHIT!!!

More like a box set worth of albums :P
It's either gonna be chronological, with the best versions appearing in order of what show they were played, next to the one-off's n' such
or
A mix of the best versions & the one-off's pretty much set to shuffle, with 'Sometimes' from Tampa as the opener and 'Yellow Ledbetter/Little Wing' from Hartford as the closer.

Watchtower
MSG II
Evenflow (Matt Cameron solo is incredible)
Betterman
Yes, I was at Mansfield I. While the roar of the crowd after the second verse was monumental. The entire version, particularly the save it for later tag was maybe the best I've ever heard.
Hartford (so many)
In Hiding
Immortality
Breakerfall
(I could go on)
Mansfield II
Footsteps
RITFW
Garden from MSG 2 was the best of the 3 times performed this tour by far.
Also don't forget Black Diamond w/ Ace!
