Notes:
--
First converted from tape/shared in July 2020 by TravisBickle & NickS.

This render has been cleaned(Neat)/Deshaked & synced to SBD audio that was broadcast on Italian radio. The broadcast had annoying DJs who talked over the beginning and end of most songs. Cam audio was used in places where the DJs were talking.

For those of you who are interested in the raw-er encode, here's a torrent for it:

Only processing was a deinterlace of the footage. MKV includes the video, cam FLAC audio, and cam AAC audio.

I'm updating SPLRA now.

Enjoy!

yeet thanks for setting this up copperpot!

[Ram27]

drums are so loud this is super cool

interesting that it's basically a summer MCIS set but they replaced WBFTT with Tonight

[Ram27]

never seen chamberlin look so into a gig. like normally he looks effortless and it's badass but here he seems super hype

[dreams of glass]

I'm here

Dude I was thinking the same thing!

Kinda wonder what or how much he was on.

Fantastic Billiam screams throughout especially in Today.
Idk how to embed but during today from like 15:56 to 16:00 there is a killer scream from Billy followed by a kick drum triplet from Jimmy reacting to the scream.

Too dope.

When will the band ever put out this stuff themselves so we can have this quality material?

All praise to Copper pot! Been watching him do the Lord's work since 2011.

[Squish Squash]

Will have to watch this sometime. They were so good live at this time

[Reyngel]

My favorite thing about those Mellon Collie tour shows was when the curtain slowly opens behind them during Zero. Such a simple thing, But totally badass and hype.

I TRIIEED SO HHARRD

6:18 he hammers that last snare roll

maybe just kinda drunk?

22:06 he plays the bullet intro one handed while chugging water

corgan's false start scream in muzzle was great too

Jimmy loves cracking that 15" (?) mid-kit crash.
Contender for best bullet of all time? (Crowd singing then right into the scream!)

Fantastic (30:14) in ruby....cannot explain..... Whhhhyyyyy....
30:36..Jimmy has 3 Chinas?
By starlight. Jimmy is heavy on the kick foot tonight. Powerful. Around 38:05 in the outro she is playing a different intricate bass line.
At 40:30 she is lost in disarm.

43:12.
Most insane jellybelly intro ever? Flawless outro.


This video is proof D'arcy was flawless.
1979 is an energetic version, youthful. (I can't stand the song now)

What other band or drummer could play a song so taxing as bodies at this point in the set? Let alone another exercise itself in silverfuck.

I can't tell the color of Jimmy's kit. Does anyone have a picture of it at this point?

[FoolofaTook]

what a bunch of turbonerds

[Ram27]

pretty sure middle crash is 16", left crash is 18". 3rd china is a swish knocker which has a similar sound

solo > jelly is killer. love how he cheats/doesn't cheat the intro. first time solo he plays all right hand accents, then alternates R/L accents [meaning a much easier snare part], then all right hand, then alternate, then alternate into the fast snare roll

might be the purple kit he used at metro 93?

Been bouncing around this video, and... yeah. Need to watch the whole thing.

If I was going to hop in a time machine to see a SP show before I could have seen any, this looks to be a strong contender. I think any of these gigs that ended with the full band F+G would immediately wiggle towards the top of the heap.

By Starlight in the middle of the set is a weird placement, sure - but you really didn't get that song tons prior to 1997, so that right there is another huge selling point for me.

This setlist really does have it all. Ending it after Mayonaise in the second encore would have made total sense. But noppppeee. To Jakob's point up there - sure, let's go back out at this point in the game and throw out BODIES into a 20 minute Silverfuck just because we came all the way to Italy and sure, do it right.

And, hell yes - thank you, Copperpot. Reading that description sounds like this one was a real pain in the ass. That's what truly makes your errand that of the Lord. You spend heaven knows how long re-editing and de-shaking and splicing and syncing all for the legacy of this band that we all still come to this urine soaked hell hole to discuss. And sure, that video will rack up like 5,000 views or something - which in YouTube metric land is practically nothing. But to us turbonerds? Gold.

They were so fucking tight at this moment. I always felt they played better overseas. Incredible.

[StaleIncense]

Thank you!!

The annoying DJs were even more annoying if you could understand Italian... so Thank you all involved. Nice one, indeed...

[Brisk]

I missed this, can you put what time that is in UK also. Cba to google.

[Ram27]

i can't get over how good the jellybelly intro is here

there are so fucking tight it's insane. jimmy is literally a god.

like, i just had band practice, and working out the changes/cues/arrangements is so hard and so hard to get it to sound right. and listen to fucking these guys! like i did some silly thing where we played mr brightside then i did a little solo --> bullet tom groove.

i want MCIS rehearsal footage. them talking to melvoin like 'hey for porcelina just play this super deep drone note for the guitar intro'

[Big Truck05]

Those Italian DJ's need to learn how hit the post!!!

[TheAlter]

That venue no longer exists, much like the band itself is a distant memory now.

I guess when the music is stellar you don't need gowns, 2 hour long reels in the background or mammoth stage props on sight, eh Belly?

[krackhead]

Any NEW watch parties for 2021???

[NickS]

Just put out an uncirculated 2000s master tape, check the SPLRA thread.

I don't really have anything interesting to share.

Have a couple '95 songs...but hardly enough for a watch-party sorta deal....
