Been a while since I posted about the last one, see if I can remember all the pertinent info...

OK, latest compilation is complete. The usual deal. Listened to all the shows, taking the best versions of each song, then going back and listening to x amount of versions of the same song again before deciding on the best one.

All tracks taken from the lossless flac files. Have artwork also.

I've taken care of all the track transitions, so all you need to do is burn the discs with 0 seconds between tracks and you should find it all runs seamlessly.

These shows are still available to purchase, so of course I couldn't post a torrent link or anything like that on the board. However, feel free to PM me if you find it interesting enough for further discussion...

Dude you did the Japan/Aussie 03 mix right?

he's done a ton of them. His comps are outstanding

Where's W.M.A.?

You are correct, squire.

Will have the first US leg '03 comp ready in the next couple of weeks also.

It's been in the 'nearly complete' stage for an embarrassing number of months, but I got a little PJ burn out so it's been on the shelf until now.

After I've done the second US leg '03, every leg from the official bootleg era will be covered.

I'll be brutally honest, I wasn't a huge fan of it.

I had the MSG2 version on there initially, but after going over the discs repeatedly I was never 100% sold on it.

I find the ending a little annoying and overlong, truth be told.

One reason I think the comps are hit-or-miss. There's always going to be a few songs that somebody wants on there. ( WMA, Sad and Education for me). Looks great, tho.

Fair comment.

I actually really wanted Sad on there, just couldn't find one I felt they really nailed.

man, W.M.A was one of the highlights of this tour, not (just) because it's so rare but because the bands new execution of it was fantastic.

What about RVM?

I agree with this a lot, I think the revamped W.M.A. was pretty disappointing.

I think they did a much better job with Who You Are, though I think the entire 2008 PJ tour was a big let-down performance wise.

Great call...DC stood out to me.

I've never been a big fan of the long RVM or Porch. I find the breakdowns to be largely tuneless momentum killers, and by the time they pick it up again I've pretty much lost interest.

Now, give me something like RVM from Pistoia '06...

Was clearing out my message folders yesterday, and think I went a bit OTT and deleted some I shouldn't have done.

If you've PM'ed me and I haven't got back to you, please hit me up again.

Oh, and just tried to log in at Synergy, and I've been banned for a year for 'bootlegging'.

Nice.

Yeah, pretty sweet.

Subsequently found out that one dude on there got six months in the sin bin for once referring to Beth Liebling as a 'dog'.

Hell hath no fury like a band member's wife scorned on a fan club online messageboard...

Hey Mike:

Just a public thanks for another awesome comp.
These are often imitated, but never duplicated - Mike's "ear" is great.

you dog...

Huge thumbs up ( ) yet again, Michael! And, as always, the artwork is amazing. Your comps look just like official releases on my shelf.

I 'll let michael handle this tour for now. My mono set back what I was doing. But I am still working on some very super secret. great job michael
