Red Mosquito

I'm going to be listening to this set of shows today as I work in isolation on a project. I know at some point Stone said one of these might have been their best show ever at the time, but I'm not sure I've listened to all of these complete previously.

The 2006 tour was their last great tour, and these three nights in SF were certainly highlights of that tour. Let's see....

Of the Girl -> Go is certainly a nice way to start.

These 2006 shows sure sound great

I love night 1. Best Bushleaguer ever. Night 3 is the popular one / Stone show. Night 2 starts with a thud but I can't recall much else.

When did Stone said that?

I was at the 2nd show, flew across country to visit my brother and see them play. It was particuarly funny when Ed totally fucked up the first track. It was more tolerable back then because they didn't fuck up all time.

You are such an enabler.

Ok... merge please.

But, this is more about discussing this set of shows and less about the fact that I'm listening to it.

Bushleaguer has really grown into one of my favorites. This performance only cements that. You are absolutely correct

I just got through this sequence from night 2. It is superb.
Marker In The Sand
Dissident
Even Flow
Army Reserve
Insignificance
In My Tree
Lukin
Garden
I Got Id
Inside Job
Rearviewmirror / End main set

Bushleaguer is fucking awesome. One of my favorite bass lines in any PJ song.

Anyway sad from the frisco shows is very good

We do need a Let's Talk About the 2006 Tour thread...

I did not give the 2006 tour it's due in the past. I haven't listened to much live PJ in a while but I'm giving Night 3 a whirl and it's phenomenal.

That's a stellar show, I might give it another listen again soon.

Married July 1st, 2006. Wife's favorite city is SF. We delayed honeymoom until these shows. Hit up nights 2 and 3. Chatted up Matt Morris and Matt Cain at one of 'em (for the baseball fans here). Great shows. Which night was Watchtower?

That is badass. I didn't take Cain for a PJ fan. Very cool.

My only trip to a ballpark besides Fenway was seeing Matt Cain pitch 7 innings of 2 run ball against the Rockies in 2006.

How was the park? I've always thought that looked like the best park in MLB.

It was gorgeous.

I went to SF nights 2 and 3. First row on the balcony.... Night 3 is my favorite PJ show I've been to (besides my first), and probably my 2nd favorite boot (next to MSG II 1998). Night 2 starts with a horrible flub of Sometimes... Night 3, everything is just solid. My favorite versions of Sad, Light Years... others I'm not thinking of. I think it's because they took a night off after night 2.

My first PJ show was the Sitting on the Dock of Bay show.... Murfreesboro in 1994 I believe.
