Probably Pointed Out 17 Years Ago, But Did You Notice...

I'm probably pointing out something that has been pointed out 173 times already, but why are Even Flow and Porch shown on the Unplugged DVD in the opposite order of how they were played? I'm pretty sure Porch was played before Even Flow... right?

    Dunno why they are in that order but yeah, Porch was played before Even Flow - you can see the writing on Ed's arm during Even Flow, that he does during the jam in Porch!
    The thing that always struck me is that at the end of Porch they do the 'rocknroll ending' thing, knocking things over and throwing guitars around and then leave the set - so did they come back and do Even Flow and RITFW as an encore?

    It's just the way MTV wanted to air it. The way Porch ended made for a better overall ending. It looks ridiculous, but that's the magic of TV...lol

    Someone else posted in another thread that they though it was because it seemed like Porch was more of a natural ending with it being so climactic (Jeff on the drums/ ev on the stool) and ev thanking people after the song. If this was MTV's/Sony's line of logic I'd understand why they changed the order. I don't agree with it, but I understand it.

    That would make sense! Thanks :)

    after getting this official copy, i thought i would be able to donate my bootleg with the counter on it at the next pre party, but, its got oceans, the songs are in the order they happened and RITFW is on it, so why would i get rid of it? no way....

    not a complaint, its nice to have both takes on the performance

    to my knowledge, from the Unplugged CD i have, that they did take a break/encore and came back and played Even Flow then RITFW
