Got 7 hours of flying time tomorrow. Downloaded this to listen on the way. Thanks again wct and riddles - you guys are true legends.

[darth_vedder]

Thanks guys! Downloaded today and will listen this week.

The drums and bass sound beefier than on my other Euro shows from this tour

That was part of the plan dood mang.

Listening to this has me wondering: do we have “best performances” threads for “release every show” tours?

I don't think so but there are a number of quality compilations of 'best/standout versions' from most of the official bootleg tours by Lowlight79, Birds In Hell and myself to name a few

I know Lowlight79 has been working on and off on a massive 2011-2018 compilation for a while - any progress dude?

[darth_vedder]

I think the version of Timeless Melody on this is the best I've heard

[Monkey_Driven]

Also, I believe this to be the best version of Immortality.

[darth_vedder]

Yeah, it's nice to hear the Euro shows like this. I've always loved those shows, but the sound needed to be tinkered with. Now the tinkering is already done, and it sounds glorious as is.

This was amazing to listen to and was great fun to listen to with the new album coming out. Thanks ever so much.

I know it would be a lot of work but it made me wonder if it were possible to put together a full Ten album from this tour and a VS, etc. up to Binaural.

Not from the 2000 tour - nor any individual tour, I'd guess.

There's too many songs that weren't played.

[bune]

huh. I remember 2000 being a year of a lot of shows so that's surprising. Oh well.

wasn't really expecting an answer so thanks!

[Birds in Hell]

They didn't vary the setlists anywhere near as much back then.

[Norah]

They didn't vary the setlists anywhere near as much back then.

Yeah, the good old days.

I was 15 and went to two shows that tour.

[darth_vedder]

Just finished this, thanks again y'all. I already had a few of the shows the songs were pulled from (Milan, Katowice, San Sebastian), but that was it. So it's nice to kind of get a "best of" from the other Euro shows. For the repeats, they all got an upgrade for sure. I think Grievance and Hail Hail from Katowice 2 are the most notable, primarily because of the drums. These versions definitely have more pop. My overall favorite from this compilation may go to Timeless Melody; they just really nail it here, and it sounds wonderful.

It seems they opened it a bit more once the US legs started. In My Tree, Parting Ways, Tremor Christ, and additional covers started creeping into the setlist. Still, I don't think the setlist were as deep back in 2000 as they were in 2003 and 2006. IIRC in the 2000 tour they weren't even playing Why Go, Glorified G, Rats, Who You Are, Around The Bend, Leash, No Way, or All Those Yesterdays (at least not in regular rotation).

[LetMeSleep]

That was a damn tasty listen. Thanks again Wendy and Brad.

This sounds great WCT!!! Wish the whole tour sounded this good! Question: have you remastered anything else? I’d love to hear your versions of other older releases if you’ve done any that turned out well
