I have heard this kick-ass version of Alive on The Bear lately and I swear it is the best version (of course the solo is the only thing that is different). I was wondering if this is on a Canadian release of one of the albums, or a promo version that only The Bear is gracious enough to share with us. I have been looking for it like a rabid dog ever since I heard it shortly before the Ottawa concert and still have yet to find it. All help would be emencly appreciated.

i don't know which version of alive you're refering to but for sake of blithering i have a fond memory of ottawa when mike came down into the aisle during alive and solo'd not more than a few inches from my face. intense

For some reason I blank out at PJ concerts when they perform "Alive", it seems like the arena gets at least 20 decibels louder. You never know what to expect from them. I got to meet Boom and Mike last year at the VFC concert in Reading. That was pretty awesome too.

I live in Ottawa and listen to the Bear often. I've heard this version a number of times, but i have no idea where its from. I personally much prefer the "Ten" version, but i'm very curious about this one!

I know- I sent an email to the Bear on Tuesday and still have not heard a response. Thanks for the feedback.

could it possible be the video version of the song? its been forever sinve ive seen or heard it but if i remember right it was a different version, and possibly a live version with out the crowd noise

from Ottawa here too...never hear PJ on the radio...

If I do, it's on (*gasp*) 106.1

I think it is the video version. I remember hearing it a few odd times on the bear

My buddy from Ottawa, who came to the show with me, said they were playing the official boot mp3s in heavy rotation a few days after the show - could be they're still playing some of those?
