The idea of Concert of the Moment has been kicked around for a while. Since today is the anniversary of PJ and this, their first show, I figured many people would be listening to this show or downloading it here (thanks GH).

Discuss anything and everything about the concert. The only prerequisite is a fresh listen (or a good memory).

If there is an interest in Concert of the Moment then maybe this could become a weekly(?) event.

I'll toss my opinions in after I give it a listen.

oh man i remember this show like it was yesterday. who was this new lead singer? been hooked ever since i saw this show.

I can't think of a better time to make this "Concert of the Moment" series official, so here's your sticky.

I don't think I'm gonna have time to listen this week, but I strongly encourage this idea.

the only time "girl" has been played live

tom - i was thinking of this idea lately as well, i think it'd be cool to get everyone's mind on the same page and talking about a particular show almost as if it had just happened, that's half the fun of tour time. I'm all for this idea..

maybe it should only be twice a month though?

Listening to it now...... is there a copy of this show which isnt kind of cut out after Even Flow into Black?

Highlights: The first note. Looking back on it, you could just "tell."

Lowlights: Some nervousness. For the most part, they held back and didn't let loose. Atlernate versions.

Best Song: Alive. Their hit was born.

Worst Song: Release. Too many lyrical differences for me.

Surprising Song: Girl. It was performed well, I wonder what happened to it?

Hmmm?: I wonder if there are any current fans who were in attendance?

Essential?: Absolutely. A must have to anyone who collects or trades PJ music. Historic. I can't imagine that many bands have their first performance taped so consider ourselves lucky.

I think the all the versions of this come from the same source. I assume they are all cut.

that's a great point

I watched the dvd yesterday, jeff should have never given up wearing the hats.

there's a DVD of this concert?!??!?

Actually, the only audio source is from a VHS tape of the show.

holy shit, never knew that....

where is the dvd available?

2nd that.

anyone else hear bits of the yl intro in release

also what is he singing on that song

i think its amazing that someone filmed it

i love girl it is a cool song. the recording is rough but its not unlistenable.

The show its self is rough as well but cool nontheless

I'm glad this idea came to fruition. I'll weigh in on it later...

As a historic document I'm very glad to have it,
but I can't say I haven't listened to it very much the last years.
It's still great to listen to just once in a while and think about the whole way this band has taken since that day.
