Due to an unforseen long game on the radio on the way back, I only got to listen to some of the albums in their entirety.

In order of preference of those I listened to:

1. Pearl Jam - Riot Act- This album is awesome. I loved it.
2. U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind - Very good.
3. Ludacris - The Red Light District - Also very good.
4. Fat Joe - All or Nothing - Pretty good, some real good songs, but too many songs trying to set similar hooks.
5. Shaggy - Hotshot - Decent, screw you all, I just like his voice and there are some very easy songs to listen to on this album.
6. Billy Corgan - The Future Embrace - The first few songs were decent, the rest is terrible. Somewhere along the line he forgot how to rock.

I'll update in a while when I've had a chance to listen to the rest.

Upon further review today, I'm moving the Ludacris album ahead of the U2 album.

#16 is a good show. If you're not listening to the show all the way through (as I'd recommend), Listen too disc 2 ASAP. Halloween Show, Velvet Underground "Loaded" in it's entirety, just awesome. Disc 4 is mostly good, but why did they have to play Prince Caspian?

The rest of the show is just ok for Live Phish, which still is better than a lot of music. A good setlist but some diapointments I hope you didn't buy this for the 30 minute Wolfman's Brother, cause you will be let down.

Mike's Song is just ok & a little on the short side. Great version of Run Like an Antelope, but is that song really ever not great? NICU & Tweezer are also very good.

Everything Mellon Collie and before is brilliant. Everything after is mediocre at best with a couple of songs that are exceptions. IMO at least.


I saw some quotes from him about his desire to get them back together, but afaik it was all talk with little reality behind it, but I don't follow that stuff too closely.

Billy, James & D'arcy were spotted drinking together this past month in NYC. James Iha lives around the corner from my office, he is in no condition to tour anymore... unless a buda belly becomes the new rock star accessory.

Other than that, Clark is right. They put a fork in it after Melloncollie

Includes the 10/31/98 cover of Velvet Undergrounds' "Loaded" album. Pretty sweet disc.
