We are definitely limited with some of our choices. I think there is a version of YMB from Hungary 1996, but I don't know anything about it's SQ or it is any good (and it is actually a cover )

As for my favorite version of "The Kids Are Alright", I am partial to the 2000 Seattle version. I definitely like the versions of that song from 2000, better than 2003.

.... 16 versions later .... Yes ! Seattle '00 or Sacramento '00. And I agree the 2000 - 2001 versions are definitely better.

Seattle is the better known version, but Sacramento may be a better fit since it is the lesser known version. Let's try Sac Town for our rough draft.

Do we already know which Leavin' here to pick or should I dive (drown) into the numerous versions there are ?

Checkout the version of "Leaving Here" from Columbia, Maryland (September 4, 2000), I like it because I was at that show.

High Fidelity 2000 · December 2010

I don't know if someone else suggested this already, but what about the Pete Townshend duets from the Live for Marysville Academy album? It had acoustic Heart to Hold Onto and Magic Bus (don't remember if it's acoustic or with band). I would definitely love to download this when you're done! I've never heard the Seeker and some of those other Live at Leeds tunes that Eddie did.

Thanx

I'm gonna check it out.
Actually, it's going faster than I thought it would thanks to (very) bad SQ on a lot of versions.

2006 ?! That's still a loooong way to go ! I'm not quite there yet.

NorthShoreBlues · December 2010

Great new project! cameron4president you are lighting it up; its been fun watching the progress of all your work and most enjoyable listening as well!

My favorite Naked Eye is the 2/94 Carnegie Hall performance Ed solo, perfect sound.

Also check out the My generation from Minneapolis 98. Bluesy version that serves as a intro to Porch.
Might be to slow, to short, and the quality is lacking . . .

Good luck, can't wait to hear the finished product

I love that intro to "Porch", Actually the whole concert is good.

I do not have a copy of the Ed's 2/94 Carnegie Hall performance, Where can I find a copy? Can somebody upload it and send me a link?

Naked Eye is somewhere in my Who top five and it would ashamed if we couldn't fit that song in.

I 'reckon' that we are fast because we are all well rested

Truth be known, I have always wanted to do a good Who compilation, but I can't do a good one by myself. So now that we have so many willing participants, we are going to make an amazing Who compilation. I am energized (and bored out of my mind at work right now

)

I 'reckon' that you are a cool person for sending me this link. I will see if it works when I get home from work tonight.

Just loading up my playlist

Playlist sounding good! I'm getting into the spirit of this. Great idea!

Oz Jammer · December 2010

There's a pretty cool recording of Ed performing Squeeze Box. Don't know where it's from, but it's featured on the "Walks On His Own" compilation

Sooooo. I finally narrowed the choices from xxx to 6 to 3 and possibly 2 (by ruling out the ones where you could distinctively hear the organ - I know it's harsh, but it doesn't really 'fit' in the song IMO). One of them is Columbia. Since you were in attendance, maybe we should just go for that one ?

Well, my playlist was quite patchy! I didn't do so well on the downloading - I managed to find about 8 from the current list on page one, and 2 or 3 of them the sound quality was shocking. I went on pearljambootlegs.org but some of these shows seemed to be missing. But it *was* late at night!

All the songs from the list with decent sound quality sounded superb though - I'll have another listen to them now. myra, how do you go about getting your songs so quickly, or do you already have them all? I'll tell you in a bit the songs on mine where the quality is shocking, and maybe you can point me at some better versions or sources

The organ kind of fucks that song up!!

Columbia, good choice.

TheRealDanPatch · December 2010

How should we order the playlist? I was thinking of two ways that we could do this:

1. Arrange them by the year that The Who actually recorded them.
2. Lesser SQ tracks to Greater SQ tracks.

Thoughts?

Good question. I think imposing some sort of structure to the order might help, cos then it spares us too many dilemmas!I always prefer to kick off listening to an album on a 'high', so I wouldn't want all the weaker SQ tracks to come in at the beginning. Probably best mixed around I think.

Chronologically might make sense and be interesting (and educational!!)

I can think of two chronologies - either the order the Who recorded them, like you say. Or the order that Pearl Jam played them. Maybe the first one would make most sense.

I agree, I think we should do it in the order that The Who recorded them. I will update the front page track list to reflect our new order in the next hour or two.
