Thanks Matt - will be making some final decisions over the weekend.
I just listened to the Orpheum version of 'Small Town' - it's a lot better than I remember.
While I think it sounded great in 2006 (Madrid is my pick from this year), I thinking I should probably use the Orpheum one instead. Thoughts?
I haven't heard the Madrid version, but I've never been a big fan of the Orpheum version...just something seems off about it to me, I just can't put my finger on what exactly it is

There's always Atlanta 94 too, which is similar (better?)

I love 'This song's for Kurt' but the Atlanta version never quite hit the lofty heights. I vote for Las Vegas. On a side note, the versions where Mike's solo kicks in just a tad early always did it for me. there's one from Japan 95 I think that kicks.
Animal - Las Vegas 1993-11-30 - Atlanta 1994-04-03
Tough call. I actually like Melbourne 98 for the random rhythm chord changes at the end.
Daughter - Milan 2000-06-22 - Jones Beach 2000-08-24
Never really understood the love for Jones Beach.
Blood - Las Vegas 1993-11-30 - Orpheum 1994-04-12
This Boston version is unhinged and awesome.
Leash - Las Vegas 1993-11-30 - Rotterdam 1993-07-16
I like the 92 version from Zurich but understand the quality element.
Indifference - Indio 1993-11-05 - Atlanta 1994-04-03 - Yokohama 2003-03-01
Hard to beat Atlanta for Indiffrerence.
Cool idea and thanks for the opportunity to input.

As much as I love the 2000 Jones Beach Daughter, 2000 Milan is the correct answer here.

Is that the one with the call and answer? I hate that one, it's boring.
I love those meandering, jammy runs they sometimes get into at their best. I will say though, Jones Beach is fantastic, and if I had to play just 3 songs to someone to try and get them into PJ, Jones Beach Daughter would be 1 of the 3.
(Self Pollution DtE would take up a spot too. #3 would vary depending on the person I was trying to convince).
I ended up deciding to kick 'Crazy Mary' to the covers disc, and add 'Out Of My Mind'.
I know some will be disappointed that Jones Beach Daughter was not chosen, but remember - it's about the song, not the tag

Compilation and artwork by ridleybradout February 2018
FAN-MADE PROJECT - NOT FOR SALE
*Share freely but do not distribute as mp3*
It has been almost 13 years since the Green Habit Compilation was put together by the Red Mosquito Forum community. As the band has now been together for double that length of time, an update or sequel to this collection was well overdue. Hundreds of official bootlegs later (including numerous 'vault' releases from the pre-bootleg era), every song has been put up for review.
Red Mosquito forum users were invited to nominate and debate their favourite versions of each song, for me to then go away and listen to each to make a final decision: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8556
There were a number of criteria for picking a definitive live version: sound quality, correct lyrics, no guitar flubs, full band (if that is how the song was recorded in the studio), electric rather than acoustic (again, if that is how the song was recorded), and original era/drummer where possible (unless later versions had something really special). Basically, if you had to represent the essence and power of each song through one single live version - which would it be?
After a LOT of deliberation, this is what we came up with. Thank you to everyone for your suggestions and for the discussion to date. This will be a constantly evolving collection, so will be reviewed as new shows are played or released from the vault. The best known source for each track has been used, and remastered by JWB only where required to provide the smoothest possible listening experience.
