Matt Reeder presents the 12 Days of Christmas

[matt reeder]

Initial thoughts on the 06 mix:

Wow, you were right about the SFIII versions of Release and Sad. Wow.

There was no neutered Garden worth including, eh? Hehe.

That occurred to me after I finished the set. I totally forgot it existed. Oh well. Disc 2 was originally going to close with "Porch" from the first Milwaukee show but I decided to go with RITFW instead because it felt more right for some reason.

I want to thank Leehro for transferring this way back in the day. I took it upon myself to remaster the recording - I did some light EQ and I corrected the speed to where it should be.

This is such a cool show. Here are my notes on ZOMB:

Here's a remaster of one of the most obscure Pearl Jam shows out there. This was the day after the famous 3/17/95 show that everybody has. The recording isn't fantastic but is definitely listenable. I spent a few hours making it more listenable. I corrected the speed and did some light EQ and I'm pretty happy with the results.

What's cool about this show? Lots. For one, it has the only known tag of "Stupid Mop" on "Daughter", the only known time they ever played any of it. It has a fantastic setlist overall with many songs rarely performed in 1995 such as "Once", "Yellow Ledbetter" and a bizarre, 10 minute version of "Baba O'Riley" that sounds very unrehearsed.

Overall, this is a fantastic show and one I think most PJ fans will love if you can overlook the very loud fans surrounding the taper on occasion.

Enjoy everybody!

[Birds in Hell]

Thanks, Matt, definitely grabbing this one.

Man, I'd love to see some of the shows from that Asia/Australian/NZ tour officially released: the tracks on the PJ20 soundtrack are such a tease.

Very interesting show. This is, in fact, the only version of Baba O played between the spring of 94 and the summer of 98. It's for sure the weirdest version they ever played of it. The mamasan trilogy broken up by...Satan's Bed? Thanks Matt.

It's funny listening to the stupid mop tag...my sense is the crowd's like, what the fuck's going on, and you can sort of sense the relief when he goes into ABitW and everybody starts singing along again.

The official website doesn't even have a setlist for this show: http://pearljam.com/setlists/1010/1995/ ... music_bowl

Today's gift is 2 Sonic Youth sets from the Washing Machine tour. I'll post a link later. As I said, not every one of my gifts is going to be Pearl Jam.

they did that setlist archive half arsed. The one that was here was so much better, easily searchable, it was great. It even had source info for recordings and artwork if people wanted to create there own cd's. It was a sad day for me when it was shut down due to the "official site" as I used it often.

Show notes: A fantastic show with a rare opening of "Expressway to Yr Skull". One of the best shows of the Washing Machine tour.
------------------------------
Here are three awesome shows from the Washing Machine tour. All three of them are sourced from decent audience recordings - not great, but not bad. The Philadelphia headlining set (10/18/1995) sounds pretty good - I'm guessing it was taped from close to the stage. All three shows are outstanding and the setlists cover most of Sonic Youth's career up to this point, absent a lot of the 1988-1992 stuff they were tired of playing at this point. This is my favorite Sonic Youth tour. Download these three shows and you'll see why.

Sonic Youth are one of my favorite bands. I'll torrent something else from them during my 12 Days of Christmas at some point. I hope some of you dig it.

[matt reeder]

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas comes a little late for most of you. My apologies!
This one goes out to all you Soundgarden fanatics out there. Here are 2 good DAT audience audios from the end of the Down on the Upside Tour. There are better shows on this tour but these two are really good.

Here they are:

21. Jesus Christ Pose

Encoded February 2009.

Notes: Interesting show. "Waiting For The Sun" is a surprise, having not been performed since early in the European tour. This is a DAT rip and should be the *ONLY* copy traded from now on. Earlier versions out there were sourced from a lossy source that cut off in-between song banter. Trade this one freely!

-----------------------------------------------------------
Hopefully all you trading Soundgarden fans out there will dig these two. Tomorrow brings more surprises for everyone so stay tuned!

Notes: Culled from my Arcade Fire collection, this disc represents a different look at Arcade Fire's career from their beginnings to now. This is as good a compilation as you will find in lossless format. I tried to mix up standards like "Wake Up" with obscure tracks like "Surf City Eastern Block" (a seldom-played Neon Bible b-side). The only downside to this disc is that it is absent some of the really obscure AF stuff out there that only exists in mp3, like the 2001 demos or the live recording of "Cars and Telephones". Hopefully somebody will surface lossless copies of those one day. Until then, enjoy this!

I keep checking this thread in hopes that you have gotten back to it, but it seems the 12 days are frozen like my nutsack in this -5 degree cold

My upload speed is more frozen than your nutsack. That's part of why I had to stop - it was taking forever to torrent anything. I have a list of things I would like to upload, such as a Weezer tape from 2000, a Soundgarden bootleg mixtape and a Foo Fighters bootleg from 1995 that I haven't seen out there.

Actually, I'm about to upload my masterpiece - a 7 disc Smashing Pumpkins bootleg mix. I'll share a tracklist and then upload link sometime in the next 48 - 72 hours.
