Best of 2012 tour
« on: November 10, 2012, 01:41:23 PM »
Which tracks from which (recorded) show would you include on a "Best of 2012" compilation (I'm trying to make one) ?
As for me, I would take most tracks from Saskatoon, since the performance is very good and the quality of the recording seemed second to none so far; I would add Kingdom of Gold from Grand Prairie (awsome), and maybe take Redbud tree from Regina (more different than the studio version), and maybe WII from Winnipeg (the only one with the drum intro). And Brothers from one of the recent shows...
What do you guys think ?

Lots of show that didn't showed up yet, so maybe It's too song for that...
You might get lucky, now and then

Vancouver? Where'd you get the Vancouver show? I didn't see it on the "recordings" thread.

Sacramento.  Broomfield is good too.  HFB is a bit hit or miss, with more misses for me, this tour.  Last tour was the best it ever was IMO.

A very good version is the one included in the Privateering Bonus CD; clear, no crowd noise (reharshals !), powerful solo in the end. On CD at last ! too bad WII and MT are not there !

Well... I guess we all have the song we dislike; for you it is Marbletown... for the rest of us, though, Marbletown is a live classic. I remember talking to Isaac when I met him in 2010 and 2011, and he could not have lived without Marbletown... but he disliked Speedway ! yes, Speedway, the one everybody likes !
As for me, it is this bloody Song for Sony Liston; can't see the point, I'm having a bore everytime, people get enthousiasts over the solo but it just sounds boring to me; why could he not ressurect Boom, Like That instead ??

I agree;  BLT would be great and Sonny Liston is played out now.  In saying that, SFSL is better sounding now than ever but I still could do without it and can't help but feel Mark only plays it to please Krusty because it wasn't in his solo set in 2010.

Nope, I'm with dmg in this. I dislike Marbletown as well.

Oops, and thanks dmg and herlock for the info. I've bought the superdupperdeluxe box set with the three bonus tracks, I don't have the live cd. Must run after it. Thanks!
