It is funny you ask that cause when Rick was interviewing the band at Massy Hall last month. He asked me what was my favorite memory or show..
I told him Paris, Nov 2002.. Here is why.. To see OLP in a non-English speaking place. I know in Quebec they speck French but it was not the same.. They also speak English there. In Paris the crowd was chanting in French and singing to all the songs(English and French) > To experience that was amazing..
Favorite shows for me would be
Manchester, England, NOv 2002.. Only cause they did Mafia and Thief. I asked them earlier if they could play either song and both were done
The Vanderbilt, July 2001.. This was a longer show and you really did get the best of Spiritual Machines and Happiness in one show. Only bad thing is Stealing Babies was not done
Boston, Paradise Club- Aug 2009. This was one of the best shows on the Burn Burn tour. crowd was great and I think the band fed off it..
Montreal, Dec 2000 Club Soda. The longest OLP show ( as far as I know). 23 songs. They did about 8 encores..2-1/2 hours long.
Birch Hill, May 2001- In the middle of the show they started taking request from the audience.. About 5 songs were done on the spot..
There have been so many great performances by OLP I have seen. There have been some so so performances and maybe a handful where I felt they were just going through the motions.
Best Tour in my opinion was Spiritual Machines tour in 2001. Those songs just come alive in concert.. Even now they seem to take on a life of their own. The Burn Burn shows were also amazing..
Best songs live would be Superman's Dead, Naveed( all versions), Starseed, Birdman, Stealing Babies, In Repair, Paper Moon, Thief, Monkey Brains, Innocent, Supersatellite, A/L/S, Future Is To Blame, Boy,Hope.
