Pearl Jam's Best Live Performances

[Kevin Davis]

I lack the skills to edit the comp but I would love to help discuss selections and will provide tracks if necessary, though I suspect you master comp makers all have your sources

[Kevin Davis]

I would almost prefer to limit covers to songs that have been played consistently throughout their career. I think a lot of "tour-specific" covers may have clocked more than 10 plays, and an abundance of these will make the compilation unwieldy. I'd say the following covers make sense to include, the rest would feel superfluous to me on a comp like this:

RITFW
Baba
Fuckin' Up
Leaving Here
Last Kiss
Soldier of Love
Sonic Reducer
Masters of War
Crazy Mary
The Kids are Alright
I Am a Patriot
I Believe in Miracles

Maybe:
Real Me
Love Reign
Kick Out the Jams

I also think a lot of those "beginning of the first encore, just Ed and a guitar" songs really kill the vibe at a PJ show, I would be for omitting all of those, unless it's a PJ original ("Dead Man" being the song that comes to mind).

[ridleybradout]

I think you're right KD - do we really want songs like Public Image and Imagine clogging up this thing?

Add these to the maybe list (played on multiple tours):

Crown of Thorns
All Along the Watchtower
I've Got A Feeling
Little Wing
Mother
Fortunate Son
Know Your Rights
Gimme Some Truth



And yeah, perhaps leave off these semi-regular Ed solo covers:

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
Picture In A Frame
I Won't Back Down
Don't Be Shy

[Kevin Davis]

"Crown of Thorns" should be on there for sure -- and almost certainly the Vegas '00 version. "I've Got a Feeling" too -- that one's been around since the beginning and currently stands as the last song the band has played live. Doesn't get much fuller circle than that.

Most of the others I'm inclined to want to exclude on the grounds of simply not really caring for them, but admittedly that's down to personal taste. If we want the comp to be representative of the band's career in a certain way, then some objective guidelines like number of times played do make sense to impose.

[PHATJ]

This sounds pretty cool boys. And somehow I'm unfamiliar with the first edition.

[Kevin Davis]

I have to say, though -- if getting into this project distracts Ridley from his Radiohead B-sides comp, I vote "backburner."

[ridleybradout]

Haha, no. The Radiohead project is almost ready to go, just needs some remastering attention from a certain someone.

This GH II / Definitive Live PJ comp will take some time to debate and form consensus anyhoo, so I reckon we get the ball rolling soon

Has this omission been rectified as yet J?

I can provide this if required. It is mandatory.

[MattA75]

Very interested in giving whatever suggestions/help I can to this project

[Kevin Davis]

Bumped this thread with some suggestions:

So with all this talk of best live performances, is there enough interest to finally do a 'Green Habit' compilation update?

I was thinking we start with reviewing the original picks and suggest any updates, before moving onto the 2005-2016 live cannon...

This would be incredibly awesome.

It hasn't, and I'd appreciate it.

Classic chud.

That's a great version, but I also really love the Orpheum version.

Yep - Ed's voice was amazing that night. Best version of Of He Goes too

Hey mods - should we merge this thread with the GH update thread in the Live forum?...

If you are doing an all new compilation, probably not. If you are just adding songs to the GH compilation, then maybe. But that is just my two cents
