I have those two sources, and will check to see if, in fact, I do have a third source.

I believe the video is amateur-shot.

Would love to get a copy of that 3rd one. I don't see a 3rd listed over @ db.etree.org.

That would be awesome to find & share via the trading community. A copy of Barrie '98 DVD.

I'd like this as well.
I had free tix from Sony but went to a Newfie wedding instead.
Ended up in Molson park the next day for some fest that included Garbage and the Chemical Brothers. I was super hung over.
I wanna see what I missed the day before

This was my 1st show. I was there with my (new) wife, so we stayed up on the grass, away from the "mess." I still remember the cloud of dust that rose up from the pit when they came out.
I also remember a douchey Matthew Good getting indignant that his side stage audience wasn't rowdy enough for his taste. "This isn't a f###ing Carpenters show!" or something very close to that was his complaint. It took me a while to get over that, every time I saw him, or heard his music, I thought: that's the douche that thought a bunch of PJ fans should have been excited to see him!
The other memory I have is, walking into the park hearing TOTD, really loud. (Testing the sound system or something?) If I remember right, this was shortly after Matt joined, and i was thinking: Holy Crap! It's a TOTD reunion!
Nope.

Still a great show.
And I've been to everyone I could since.

I was there too, it was my first big concert. Needless to say it was an amazing show. The pit was absolutely insane,

I have an mp3 sourced show that I would be willing to share, can we figure out which copy is the best copy around? And what about the video, I have heard of people having a copy but I don't think its been widely circulated. Does anyone have it?

I loved Barrie '98. I was right up at the barrier, somewhere between Ed and Stone. Back in the day I could survive any pit, but that one was particularly crazy - so much so, that after RVM I remember praying for a slower song right before they slammed into Last Exit.

Anyways, for years there was talk of this elusive video. I doubt it'll ever see the light of day. If only Rick the Temp could get the rest of that proshot footage from Much!

I remember there being a soundcheck, too. I can't recall what they played, though.

According to twofeetthicK.com: Not for You (snippet), Corduroy (short), I Got Shit, MFC

Nice to have stumbled across some discussion of this show! My first show too and it's still one of the greatest days of my life (my 20th birthday!)... I would give my left (and probably right) nut to see a video of the show. I too have heard that a video exists but I don't think we'll ever see it . . . the only video I have seen is this clip from Much Music up on YT of about 40 seconds of Animal:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3alA4Vd3xY . . . it's better than nothing for sure!

So many memories from the day . . driving up from my buddy's cottage near Peterborough that morning, finding a shitty little "camp ground" to pitch our tents for the day/night, drinking ourselves silly before hailing a few cabs for the 8 of us to get to the Park . . . getting out of the cab just off the highway due to traffic and walking down the long road to the venue, seeing Rick The Temp in a truck along Bayview Dr. (road that Molson Park was on) and saying hi to him ("I'll see you guys in there!" he replied), before getting in and having a few more beers before the show, pushing our way through the crazy crowd to try and get close as the show was about to start, then immediately losing most of my friends because of the crazy pit once Corduroy started, trying to hold on in desperation to one buddy so I wouldn't lose him as Hail Hail and Animal tore on, then finally losing him and spending the rest of the show alone (but still having a blast), and moving back towards to soundboard a bit and out of the pit to enjoy the show more before moving back in towards the end of the show, and finally, after meeting my buddies at our meeting place, walking to the McDonald's along Fairview Rd., covered in dust and hungry and thirsty as anything to satisfy my thirst and hunger with a greasy value meal..... so much fun. Phew!!!! . . . amazing time. Still think of it often and wish I could relive it sometimes.

Loved Eddie's doomsday speech, kicking a football into the crowd (which I vaguely remember) which was AFTER Anmial and before Dissident while he addressed the crowd, his awesome Leatherman ramble and awesome versions of Corduroy, Black, the man trilogy, Immortality and so many others...... having the boot is a blessing, but a video would be golden.

Also, I have heard TWO different crowd recorded versions, one of which is much better than the other. The first one I ever got was missing MFC and had a lot of chatter in it (especially during Nothingman as the recorders move through the crowd). Had a guy named Tommy there for sure, as they say his name a few times. The second one has little to no chatter, MFC is included, and the sound quality is slightly better. Although interestingly enough, I think the recorders were very close to one another because I swear that during the "speaking as...." of Habit you can hear the same girl screaming, just from different distances. What about a 3rd one?

I actually e-mailed Rick many years ago asking if there way any way MM could release it, or if we could buy it etc. He said no way. It's probably staying locked up forever.

I just came back home from a few shows of 2024 tour …. The guys are still pretty fucking rocking.
DTE video played during 2024 has different visual or so… the visuals changed from one show to another.

Anyways…. This morning I told my self: is Barrie 1998 video finally available… but it isn’t.

And the best thing I found again was this thread from a while back that I had already red.

Although… Not sure what bootleg version I have… it sounds pretty ok but we can hear some people from time to time. But I cant complain.

pit was madness for sure !! Loved it. My first PJ show. I regret not buying the poster… but it would had been destroyed in the pit 🤣.

i bought the soccer jersey and the bin hat. Still have the jersey. Love it.

So… how do I know what source do I have ?

btw: that day I discover Hayden … and fucking loved it. Still listen to ir. Too bad his not doing any big tour or something

cheers ! \m/

This was truly one of the greatest days of my life. I was 14 years old at that show. First PJ show. I also still have my soccer jersey and a love for Hayden. Also regret not getting the poster but I agree it would have been destroyed in that pit. Bought the 2XL version of it a few years ago and I love having that massive tractor parked in my living room. Cheers!

I have it burned on a CD if anyone needs it. Remember the ol' "go into Dr Disc - or whatever your local used CD store was - and search for bootlegs" days?

But if we're just reminiscing about this show...it was my first PJ show. Age 16. Practically hitchhiked from London, ON to get there. Had probably $20 in my pocket for the day. Life changing experience.

SM187650 · July 2024

@ Gibson. I could definitely use a copy. Please dm me

Dr. Disc has been my go to record store for 33 years! Got most of my first pressings, cd singles and bootlegs there.
