Red Mosquito

Of The Girl

- have you considered a repeat of Sendai 2003-02-28 from The Guests Are So Refined?

It's a universally well-regarded version, with a nice unique ad lib outro, however I don't think I should pick it without at least comparing to some of the better versions from the US 2000 tour...

I always liked the version on the 2000 Tour Sampler promo disc... Columbus, OH - 8/21/00

That's a good one and worthy contender for sure.

For more of a dark horse candidate, the version from San Sebastian is pretty good. That show gets overlooked because there are a lot of flubs, but Of The Girl is great. Milan, Italy is a good one too, as is the version from Katowice 2.

Thanks guys, I'll check these out. Seattle 2000-11-06 is pretty good too

If we're gonna use a European "Of The Girl", Prague is the one I like best.

Will take a listen. I really like Lisbon myself.

Benaroya is still definitely in the mix too.

The greatest RMer? His work here (along with WCT) is a master class is in turning a private passion into hours of joy for strangers.

How can we get those two to host a couple of hours on PJ radio?

That’s my vote.

Education has a lyrical flub and Sad has nothing on the San Fran 06 version.

Imagine if Sad had been included on Binaural and was a regular on the 2000 tour. I would give my left testicle to hear 2000-era PJ play this song live.

And I would give my right one.

Thanks for the kind words

These PJ projects are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the hours of joy WCT is responsible for

I just discovered the Boston 2000-08-30 version which is even better

Is that the right date? I was going to listen to it and don't see it on the setlist: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pearl-ja ... 620a8.html

Nevermind, I found it... they did 2 nights there and played Of The Girl night 1 on 8/29/2000.

Rival from Boston I 2000 came on and it sounded pretty great.

I was talking about Boston Light Years, not OTG...

Those two Boston 2000 shows were fucking awesome. My first two PJ shows.

And they’re going to feature multiple times on this Binaural live disc

Anyone else listened to the contenders for Education?

Lexington 2016 has a great energy, if one minor lyric flub (‘flags are waving’).

Columbia 2008 is nice but has switched lyric (in the second line - own ‘occasion’ instead of ‘education’)

Boston 2008 seems to have correct lyrics but doesn’t sound as confident musically, though that might be influenced by the inferior Brett-less mixing (which Columbia also suffers from).

All other versions have major lyric/musical errors unfortunately.

Thoughts?

I like the Columbia one, and I don't think I've ever noticed the lyric flub before. But if you are going for perfection, I guess it isn't it. Still, a good version.
