Nachdem ja immer wieder davon zu lesen ist, daß das neue Album aggressiver werden soll und auch die NA Tour gezeigt hat, daß die Herren wieder mehr Gas geben, dachte ichmir, daß dies eine gute Gelegenheit sei ein paar alte Shows herauszukramen.
Außerdem wurde ja bemängelt, daß bei der NA Tour keine neuen Songs gespielt wurden, abgesehen von einigen Led Zep Songs mit Robert Plant.
Die drei Shows sind alles absolute Highlights und laufen bei mir in Dauerschleife und das trotz Philly und Chicago 2005.
Aber Spielfreude, Improviesierung, seltene Cover, Laberfreudigkeit etc ist alles dabei.
Habe mal ein paar Sachen hervorgehoben, für alle die nicht so viel lesen wollen.
06/20/95 - Red Rocks Amphitheater: Morrison, CO set: Long Road,
Jeremy (new), Ship Song, Footsteps,
Falling Down, Better Man, Last Exit, Spin the Black Circle, Animal, Tremor Christ, Corduroy, Not for You, Go, State of Love and Trust, Daughter/(This Boy), Garden,
I've Just Seen a Face (Ed solo), Alive, Whipping, Lukin, Rearviewmirror/Improv (Words Seem Out of Place), Elderly Woman, Blood
enc 1: Black, Porch, Immortality
enc 2: Indifference
notes: PJ performs their first six songs seated, experiencing some of the effects of the altitude and taking a different approach from the previous night. 'Ship Song' is by Nick Cave. They get frustrated being seated (Stone declares, "All right, "fuck the seats") and they dump the chairs as they launch into 'Last Exit.'
The 'Falling Down' tune surfaces five years later, forming the melody for the song 'Distress' on The Rockfords album. 'RVM' is interrupted to break up a fight. ("What are you guys fighting for? This is a rock and roll concert.") PJ picks up the song right where they left off. A new, slower version of 'Jeremy' is premiered here. The impromptu 'I've Just Seen a Face,' a Beatles' tune, is sung by Ed a capella. 'This Boy' is a song by an LA band, That Dog. Ed's parting comment: "Thanks for coming up to the mountain with us." Allein für die langsame Jeremy Fassung lohnt es sich schon. Der Ship Song wurde nur dieses eine Mal von PJ gespielt.
07/09/95 - Summerfest: Marcus Amphitheater: Milwaukee, WI set:
Act of Love, Go, Last Exit, Spin the Black Circle, Tremor Christ, Corduroy, Not for You, Why Go, Jeremy (original, teaser), Deep, Daughter/Improv (This is How I Feel)/(Release)/(ABitW-II), Jeremy (new), Rearviewmirror, Elderly Woman, Lukin, Animal, Dissident, Even Flow, Black, Alive, Blood
enc:
Star Boy, Little Wing/Maggot Brain, Better Man, Porch
notes: If a show could have been any different (and better!) than the previous night, this was it. Ed surprises the audience by joining the Frogs' set for 'I Only Play for Money.' Dressed in a Beatles-type wig, sunglasses and shiny silver jacket, he is not recognizable until he begins to sing. In return, Jimmy of the Frogs accompanies Ed in the acoustic encore 'Star Boy.' A surprising opening song, 'Act of Love,' is extremely hard and driven. Lots of long jams that really show off Mike's ability. For the encore, Chad Smith (RHCP's drummer) joins PJ and a fascinating version of the Hendrix classic, 'Little Wing.' They jam for about eight minutes, mutating into 'Maggot Brain,' a funkadelic song from the 70s penned by Eddie Hazel. Mike's guitarwork leaves the crowd (and the rest of the band apparently) awestruck. It was later reported that Mike was hospitalized after the two Milwaukee shows due to dehydration and exhaustion.Es ist auf der 2. CD noch das Konzert der Frogs mit drauf, eigentlich nur interessant, da beim letzten Song halt Eddie mitspielt.
Ansonsten eine der wenigen Konzerte wo Little Wing nicht ein TEaser oder Tag für Daughter ist, sonder voll gespielt wird, mit Gesang udn einem nicht enden wollendem Solo von Mike.
03/20/94 - Crisler Arena: Ann Arbor, MI set: Jeremy, Go, Animal, Dissident, Even Flow, Glorified G, Daughter/Improv/WMA, Breath, State of Love and Trust, Last Exit, Garden, Why Go, Deep, Alive, Porch
enc: Nothingman,
Three Little Birds, Yellow Ledbetter, Black, Rearviewmirror, Not for You, Blood, Indifference
notes: PJ required that 2,000 tickets be set aside for students. A fun show, with the band playing "Name That Tune" with the audience. To "keep each show different," PJ encores with a "few mellow song." This is the first time 'Nothingman' has been played live. 'Three Little Birds' is a Bob Marley song. Ed jokes about a bomb threat in Indiana and then, "... they tell us that there's escapees from the insane asylum. They can be identified by the yellow wristband." The floor audience holds up their arms, displaying their yellow wristbands. Ed ends the show by pleasing the crowd with: "Detroit rock city, we'll come back again." Auch sehr schönes Konzert, allerdings ist der letzte Song nur für 45 Sekunden drauf.
