The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Not that RM needs another DM tour compilation after the three excellent ones that have already been shared, especially since mine is literally just a revision/expansion of Ridleybradout's (hey, the guy has impeccable taste -- I just wanted to nix "Something Special" and fill the disc out with some other tour favorites), but...here's one anyway. Its existence has Ridley's blessing so I share it here with respect and gratitude to him for his original. (Suspend your disbelief please at the placement of "Thin Air," during which Eddie says "good evening" to the crowd some 13 songs into the comp -- I just can't get into the whole 'multiple slow songs at the beginning' thing).
But wait, there's more! Just in case my piggybacking off Ridley's DM comp strikes you as shameless, below that one comes a healthy dose of Gigaton, which hasn't been compiled (I don't think) since the first few shows in 2021. This is a single disc distillation of the eight Fall 2023 shows, a run which to be honest was not exactly ripe with highlights, but which you'd never guess from listening to this very nice 80-minute cherry-pick.
These compilations were my first attempts at cross-fading audience noise. I think most of them came out pretty good, but...a whole new respect for you guys who've been doing this for years.
And here is one of two more for your (dis)pleasure — an attempt to distill the lengthy Backspacer/PJ20/LB tours to a single disc, with an emphasis on the material from those records and some other unique stuff from the period.
Another mix — a compilation of acoustic/mellow stuff from 2005 — is forthcoming.

Thanks everyone! Here's the 2005 one
This one very intentionally focuses on the mellow stuff from this tour -- Eddie's singing was very relaxed and loose during these performances, and I tend to think they're far superior to the more rocking performances from these same shows. It's tough to fit all the traditional openers into a sequence without it feeling weird but I think it came out okay.
This electric "Thumbing My Way" is one of my favorites
