I'd rather it have been just from the Backspacer tours than 2003-2010. Thats what I don't get about it, doesn't make sense to me. How did they come up with that tracklist as well - 2 covers and nothing from No Code? Its not giving anything to the fans, its just another cash cow.

False. They've been recording themselves from the beginning. Brett and Ed mentioned this in interviews. the best part of this is that Brett is back in the mix, which gives me hope that the Vault will be opened someday.

That's the thing though. On PJ Radio on their own website they've played audience boots of MSG '98, which would lead people to believe that they don't have a pro-recording of that. Yet I know personally that they do.

So... while Academy '92 they might not have a good version of (which I was very surprised they chose that poor of a recording to press officially), there are a number of other shows that they must have exclusive, unreleased great copies of that they could finally release. And to hear an official pressing of something unreleased that they have a great copy of and/or a video compilation even from that time too would be awesome. ...plus I prefer at least 7 songs from this "ten legs" thing as they used to perform them, not the revamped versions they play nowadays, but that's a whole other thing.

Yeah playing audience recordings on PJ radio and releasing that Academy show would lead one to believe that that's all they got. I never heard the Brett/Ed interview that giventofly23 mentioned and I don't know how you "know personally that they do." But that'd be great if you guys are right. And if you guy are right, wouldn't a "live through the years" type of compilation be better for a 20 year anniversary than this Live on Ten Legs album? If they have this stuff, they should get it out there because they know how bootleg-obsessed their fanbase is.

When I worked at the garden, PJ wanted to record their show in '98 which is not unusual. In order to be able to do that, they have to sign an agreement that if it's commercially released that they will compensate the stagehand union (IATSE), as is standard in the NY area (and many other union-strong areas). I was asked find that contract for them a few hours before they hit the stage because of them asking to record the show, so unless someone forgot to hit the "record" button, it should be on tape in their archives.

this doesn't seem like a must-buy for me. I'll probably hit up a torrent or something.

"Eh...it's not interesting enough to purchase, so instead of not owning it I'll just steal it."

Nice.

and why must have no code song in??doesn't make sense to me

Because No Code is awesome.

Because No Code is awesome. And Backspacer is not. And I'm not thrilled with the Public Image cover (got played in Dublin this year?) Like you need to ask!!!!

I'd just expect a more equal contribution from all albums in the tracklisting. 4 off Backspacer is abit much for me. Each to their own though I guess.

Once i've gotta over the initial disappointment of this and thought about it, I'll probably end up getting the deluxe version ha ha ha
