Best show from August 2008 tour?

darcy666 · 09-08-2008, 08:13 AM

Been away for most of August so haven't kept up to date with the latest pumpkins news. Seems they played the same set each night for the August tour. Rather than checking them all out, is there a general consensus as to which is the best show to download energy-wise and sound-wise?

Cheers

it's a tie, they all suck. try some 1988 shows or 1998 tour shows from august.

Davenport was good, but I heard the Raleigh NC was better

RockLobster · 09-08-2008, 09:39 AM

no, they all sucked.

But it made the bootleg far better sounding than the Davenport one

Weren't all shows the same? Didn't they all end with the same boring noise orgy?

Didn't they play Tom Sawyer at one of the Florida shows or was that just a joke?

Rickpat12 · 09-08-2008, 05:29 PM

Davenport. There's two sources on LMA, both sound good. One's more clear.
And yes I'm voting Davenport cuz I was there and it rock so hard

its this way:
all the shows were the same. so you want the one with the weirdest, most fucked up version of set the controls you can find.

mickyshambles · 09-08-2008, 05:54 PM

i read somewhere that all the shows sucked...

agreed. the first shows are missing the timpani/theremin/bowed bass/bird calls. i'd go with Raleigh.

dudehitscar · 09-08-2008, 07:22 PM

the Raleigh show seems to be the best.

Nothing/everything · 09-09-2008, 04:31 AM

pathetic how they played the same setlist over and over again.

The one where they played XYU in my basement

What blew my mind about it was THERE IS NO BASEMENT IN MY HOUSE

davin · 09-10-2008, 06:15 PM

Raleigh for best recording, but some of the stuff sounded better at Davenport, peformance wise.

blahblahblah

how difficult can it be to practice 4-5 extra songs, and shuffle the other ones a bit every evening? Can't imagine SP2 having to save on printer paper, can you? Oh, maybe that's the reason why they're selling these ludicrous 5STAR! VIP! packages...
