| Notes | This is by far the best sounding known source of this show. The only thing that has been cut out is some insignificant talking during the encores by the Triple-J DJ. The channels have also been switched to their correct places (Mike on the left, Stone on the right). The show was broadcast on the radio throughout Australia, and on the internet in real time on JJJ. As is typically the case, the shows get better on second or third nights, and PJ's third show in Melbourne is tremendous. Ed slips in a tribute to the late Michael Hutchence (of INXS) during 'In My Tree' ("I'm so high I hold just one breath, give it to INXS, just like my innocence"). Some guitar chords from Midnight Oil's 'Beds are Burning' lead to a wonderful version of 'Corduroy,' which includes the little stop/start thing during the bridge towards the end. Ed's wonderful baritone comes through on 'Wishlist' and the "Camaro" line is changed to "I wish I was the full moon shining off your bulldozer's hood," plus "I wish I was the sound, of 50 million hands upraised for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan," and "I wish I was lucky man ... well I guess that I am ... I wish I could share with my friends, oh how many things that I have." 'Even Flow' again awesome, featuring really extended soloing from Mike; very prolific and a manic version of 'StBC' (dedicated to "... all those who work at Triple J and the guys who work at PBS"). The 'Daughter' outtro/improv ("poor little girl screaming traffic in her hair ...") is a Shudder to Think song titled 'Pebbles.' A couple of verses from 'Crazy Mary' lead to 'Elderly Woman.' 'Porch' leads off as the slower version (like Bridge '96), but later speeds into the more familiar, rocked out version. |
