They're 50% off currently and I'm looking to pick up one that is especially stellar from the European tour - anyone have a recommendation? THANK YOU! Here's the link, btw: http://www.themusic.com/search.cfm?encore=67&sidebar=encore_list&keyword=European%20CD:

get womad 2007 without a doubt

. . . I don't know which is the "best", but I was there at womad 2007 and Daara J, are rapping all over Lay Your Hands On Me. . . just so you know.

brescia is pretty good. But I personally like to listen to Blickling Hall. Beware it's a slightly shorter set tho, and there's no Melanie, but it's a spirited performance. Signal, Fam Snapshot, Lovetown, No Self Control and more, all fantastic...

OoH, two of my favorite songs "Lovetown" and "No self control", seems like a no brainer for me to get this "Blickling Hall" then! Does it have "Burn you up, burn you down"? I am a fan of off the normal beaten path songs, lol.

Darcy, "Burn You Up" was played in 2004 during the "Still Growing Up"-tour in Europe. A good live version can be heard (and viewed) on the official "Still Growing Up - Live and Unwrapped"-DVD. the show in Mainz / Germany in 2007 was a great show (because i was there lol ) The WOMAD show 2007 must have been very special - with a lot of great guest musicians and great vocal performance by PG and a rockin` PG-Band. The 2 GELSENKIRCHEN-shows in 2007 feature a lot of tracks, which were not played on other gigs - for example "Indigo". The 2007 "Warm Up"-tour was special, as it featured a lot of tracks from Peter`s first 4 solo-albums, but also an excellent and extended "Lovetown" for example. During the show you felt like stepping into a time machine with music from the early PG-years - that was impressive good tour, good music

Very cool, Cimber! Thank you for showing me where to look.

Hehe thank you all for the suggestions but so far none of the ones mentioned (as far as I can tell) are available :-/

Dang, I wanted to get the second Gelsenkirchen

B R E S C I A

Brescia!!! agreed!!

actually womad *is* available - i didn't know it was the wiltshire show. i still don't know which i'll pick. the 2009 shows are available as well.

I've dug up this old thread because I got an email from the encore series saying that some PG shows have been reduced in price, the 2007 tour being included. I just ordered Gelsenkirchen 14 June 2007 show and wondered if anyone could tell me what it is like. The main reason for ordering it was this run of songs: Washing Of The Water Blood Of Eden We Do What We’re Told (Milgram’s 37) I Don’t Remember No Self Control Moribund The Bergermeister Family Snapshot Not One Of Us Mother Of Violence I Grieve It's a fantastic set overall and the inclusion of I Grieve (one of my personal favourites that I'd love to hear live) was what eventually forced me to order it. And overall it has come to around £12 (not bad at all ). Anyone know what the show is like? I eagerly anticipate its (eventual) arrival!

Well, it was the first show of the tour. Therefore all members of the band inculdig PG himself are exited and a bit nervous. Some things are running very well, some not. But all in all the show ist good - and the songs he played only this time are fine, too. I have been there and I own the Encore. my brother was on the second show in Gelsenkirchen. It seems that there the usual "second-show-fault" happend. The band made mistake after mistake - pg was unconcentrated - many fuck ups.
