Red Mosquito

I listened to a few tracks from LO2L today.

The best post-Backspacer setlist/performance combination? I'm willing to say yes.

Leeds 2014.

I wasn't as crazy about that show as everyone else.

There are a few rough moments and it's really long but you can't beat the setlist and a lot of it just smokes. But different strokes for different blokes. I generally respect your opinions something fierce and this is no different.

Same to you, MR, same to you - but (re: Leeds) fucking up Ghost, one of my favourite late-period Pearl Jam songs, in one of its very rare live appearances? That I cannot forgive and it sours me on that whole show (see also Bogota 2015, unfortunately).

Los Angeles 10/06/2009

St. Louis 2000

Dublin 2000

Nice 5+ min version of Go with an extended improv ending to close out the main set.

Nevermind, the lyrics were not really an improv. From Five Horizons:

'Go' finishes with Mike making Hendrix/Townshend type contortions with his guitar while Ed sings lyrics from the Crowded House song, 'Don't Dream It's Over.'

I'm a fan of this one too. Only show in the tour when they didn't play Corduroy.

St. Louis 2003 is pretty good too, and that was has a cool improv.

As fuck ups go, it's hardly a disaster. Ed's speech afterwards makes it seem a lot greater than it is.

Having been at Leeds, I'll say it was my favourite of 15 PJ shows attended. They were on that night.

I'd actually like to hear this. Youtube here I come.

That 5H description is incorrect. It's a three minute noise/drone improv at the end of Go that features Ed ad-libbing some vocals that bear vague melodic resemblance to Don't Dream It's Over in parts. It's fantastic and well worth hearing but nothing like what's described above!

I actually went to Youtube after reading the 5H comment to listen to the original song, but being fresh off a 2000 PJ show, I immediately got sick of the song and bailed.

BUT 5H IS NEVER INCORRECT I'M GOING TO BAN YOU FROM THE INTERNET FOREVER FOR SPEAKING ILL OF ALL THE HARD WORK CARYN ROSE DID!

Thank god that's no longer a thing. Defense of her was so strange.

So some basic feedback = hendrix/townshend. got it.

I don't listen to any post-backspacer bootlegs, but it's pretty cool that this one would be ranked as one of the better ones as I was there. I vividly remember not believing my ears when Matt broke out that ridiculous roll in Habit. I was speechless. I didn't know PJ had a cool moment like that left in them.

I still have yet to listen to a complete post-2009 show. There are a few recent ones on my list that I will get to someday.

This was just on Sirius XM. I dont know. Ed is pretty brutal for most of it.

I've grown accustomed the fact that Ed's voice has changed and that's just how he sounds now.
