Red Mosquito

That'd be top of the list too, for sure.

I'd like to hear rough mixes of most of the albums.

Minneapolis 98 NEEDS to be officially released. Best. Crowd. Ever. Ever and amazing versions of everything. Everything.

Best crowd ever is not a good reason to release a recording of a concert.

it was probably a good reason to go to the show.

Oh man. IT so took affect on the band and the performances are incredible. Great show from top to bottom.

first thing I'd do is change the band name.

How about a corporate/private show box set? Target, that other company they did for a cash grab show for, throw in the Borgata show....

The 2002 RealNetwork show is the holy grail.

I'd be interested in a DVD compilation of the two nights with some footage of the cool museumm/nerd convention shit. It wouldn't be top priority though. In fact I'd rather a PJ10 DVD of the Vegas show.

Too late to tell them that.

That's a pretty good DVD but the tracklist is sooooo boring.

> A 1996/1998 box:
-Includes 'remastered' No Code / Yield (both with at least 6/7 bonustracks...b-sides/outtakes/demos..)
-The 'giveway' Melbourne 98 show as a third disc.

At the same time: release all the 1996 and 1998 shows as bootlegs (kufala and/or flacs are fine).

> A 2002/2003 box:
-Includes 'remastered' Binaural / Riot Act
-No need for live material as the third disc. will be outtakes/demos only. Just clear the vault from those sessions.

At the same time: Re-release the excellent 2000/2003 bootlegs as flacs.

> Lost Dogs II
-Lost Dogs (2003) didn't include everything (Angel, Leatherman, Sonic Reducer, Happy when Im crying,...). Plus, they have released some gems since then (Santa God, Love Reign.., Ole, Of The Earth,....) and there must be some outtakes from S/T and Backspacer.

> Bootleg archive
-Just release all the quality shows form 1992-1995. Release them as a archive (aka Neil Young) box. Or just make them available as flacs. Pressing would be too expensive probably. But releasing them as flac is better than having nothing. Do the same for the 2004/2007 shows.

Quadriplegic guy next to us in the handicap section was smoking dope and making out with his nurse. For a moment, I felt like anything was possible.

Ah, you were there! Pretty great show though, yea?

It's an amazing show even without the crowd. It would make a fine archival release.

Yeah. The handicap sections are weirdly placed there, so we were kind of in the back left territories. The sound there was absolutely terrible...so bounced around that any subtle shadings or quiet sections were completely lost...I probably enjoyed the Rapid City gig a few days before a lot more, but the crowd was bananas and the band was at the top of their game. When Stone's amp conked out on Faithful (am I remembering that right?).....

All those yesterdays.


Yea the Target CEnter was notorious for having bad sound. The Rapid City show was pretty great as well. That was my first experience with a GA crowd. Some meathead was punching me in the back and my skull during Frank Blacks set. I finally had decided to seacrest out of there so the bouncer pulled me up and my leg got caught between the barrier and the crowd. I ended up about 10 yards back from the stage and had a great time. I remember being very disappointed when they closed with Rearview Mirror. Felt as though the show shouldnt be over yet.

Knock it off. I will say that the remaining MN shows, chicago 03 and 06, all 08 shows i was at and a handful of others absolutely are not release worthy.
