Greg,
I have never heard of this but would give my left arm to see it.
Where/How did you hear about this? Maybe you could try contacting the
producers of ACL??

Ken: Great thread going here.
I personally don't have any Pilgrim shows to compare, but I have heard parts
of some. While I like the Acoustic section of the Reptile, I don't like the
Pilgrim section as much. I wish we did a more extended Reptile section, with
songs like Superman Inside, Ain't Gonna Stand For it and Come Back Baby.
All in all, also, I like Eric's use of the new strat that he's using on the
Reptile tour. The tone is more to my liking, that's all.
But the thing I liked with Pilgrim was the Pilgrim songs. Very good. That
album had a lot of good songs, and I tend to assert that if the Pilgrim
album was produced like Reptile (organic Drums, Impressions) that we'd be
hailing Pilgrim as a masterpiece.

Nice dissertation, Apurva. You need to get a boot copy of the Delaney mix of
the self titled solo album.
Guitars are way more upfront.

Thanks to Donna, I now own the 4 Dec 2002 sbd.
It is free to the first three North American responses that I receive.
As a bonus, the first (and *only* the first-I had a VHS machine
malfunction....:( ) to respond will get a 2nd gen NTSC VHS copy of the
Budokan show (thanks, Scott).
