Agreed. Honorable mention to 1999 for making me blow my load when I first heard NAIS.

This was an execellent set with Brendan O'Brien on keys. Starts off with a haunting version of Footsteps and flows into Sometimes. The new Corduroy was a cool unexpected surprise. I really love this version of Nothingman with the alt lyric "...from across a crowded room".
Absolutely beautiful version of Off He Goes and there is a great little moment at the end of the song where Ed smiles and whispers "nice".

I like 2001 a lot too. I remember really enjoying the full band version of "Drifting," as well as being really stoked that "Low Light" was finally getting played. "Last Soldier" too--not necessarily the greatest song PJ ever penned, but interesting in that it's the one of--if not *the* only--fully formed PJ song to pop up in a setlist multiple times and then basically disappear forever (though I suppose time will tell if that ends up being the case with "Of the Earth").

I've got a "Best of Bridge School" comp that someone on an old board I used to belong to put together, and it gets played pretty regularly. PJ's relationship with the Bridge School is an iconic component of their career, and has spawned a lot of really unique moments.

I also really enjoy "Parachutes" from the 2006 gig.

1. 2001
2. 1999
3. 1996

1996 is pretty unbeatable, though 1999 and 2001 aren't too shabby either.

I might dig them all out for a spin soon.

I've got 1992 on right now (going to throw all these shows into iTunes and play them on the iPhone over the next week or two) and this is actually really great, much better than Unplugged as Dave is restricted to minimal percussion. I mean, I love Dave and his drumming in the early days but he kind of ruins Unplugged for the most part.

This version of Jeremy is spectacularly good. They should play it like this again!

I wish someone would put a whole collection of them together for me to download....

i really wish these would get officially released. the recordings i have are not that great even with some being sbd.

Haven't listened to some of these in quite some time, but those definitely have the best looking setlists.

Can't vouch for bitrate or anything like that, but here you go:

Thanks Kevin Davis, will grab when I get home.

The Parachutes from 06 is nice. They should have recorded a take like that instead of the studio dsaster.

I never listened to the 06 set. Someone should hook it up!

I need to get all the Bridge Schools in lossless.

I have them all in lossless, but live in the stone age and could not upload them. I could however burn them to a dvd and mail them to you...old school style.

That'd be great! How many DVDs should I mail you?

you can keep the dvds, i'll just send them to you. pm me your address, i'll burn them tonight and send them out tomorrow.
