You guys should go back and listen to the one from Live at Mile High Music Festival. 2008.

berman1125 · 01-30-2018, 10:28 AM

Talking about this song in another thread made me want to bump this. I really love this song. Beautiful lyrics that can be equated to humanity. Studio masterpiece. Careful build up in the live versions. People act like nothing happens during this song. But it's actually a nice showcase of dmb not doing too much. Rashawns mute trumpet is what makes it. He isn't going balls to the wall ala Typical during the very same show. Jeff is just adding the right touch and Tim is able to slowly build the solo and Carter knows exactly when to pick the tempo up.

This is 5 min of dmb doin work IMO from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HtZpEu32Z8&t=15m7s until about 20:10. If you're looking for a rhyme and reason type ripper, PM isn't it. But I have room to enjoy both songs at a show. There are plenty of slow snoozers that I can't stand (If Only for example) but PM isnt one of them for me. The one from Staples Center was very emotional and this one I came across is wow...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeBR...ature=youtu.be

This may be my favorite DMB song. I relate to the lyrics and I love the way it's structured live.

Gorge CD version is underrated pic IMO.

man I couldn't agree more with this. Proudest Monkey might be a top 5 favorite DMB song for me. it's just pure bliss. my favorite live performance is from Charlotte 2012 - Tim went to another stratosphere for his solo:

red rocks 95

like the crisp-ness of the guitar

the 08 and after are too slow throughout the song

dmbcriggidy · 02-02-2018, 12:54 PM

Probably already been said, and call me crazy, but the studio version might be my favorite.

DMB just can't seem to figure out which songs to speed up and which ones to slow down these days

Agreed, though.

I Love PM. 12 shows and I never seen PM. I would love to catch it one day. Carter is great on this song, the lyrics are great.

With that said, RR is better on this tune then he normally is, but this should be a Jeff solo instead.

Dannyyankou · 02-02-2018, 05:34 PM

Jones Beach 2013 has a really good jam and Tim solo

https://youtu.be/ptQe6q3sAyM

chrisjw28 · 02-02-2018, 05:52 PM

Im Super Biased, but 7/16/16 was my favorite of all time. It went into Bismarck, but Tim and Carter were unreal during the solo.

Link for 7-16-16 version

I'm partial to Warehouse 10v3 from 5.30.14 at SPAC.

Tim's solo has so much feel to it and Carter connects perfect with it!

Couldn't agree more with this. Love this version!

roinuj815 · 02-11-2018, 07:28 AM

Proudest Monkey with Hugh Masekela IMO its the best

SeanMH · 02-11-2018, 11:41 AM

LT5 is very good too

7/19/09 is a great version with a Jeff solo.

sean52692 · 02-11-2018, 12:04 PM

7/23/02 is one of my favorite shorter versions... Added on the fly and Roi's solo is great.

So many standout released ones too - LT 5 is my favorite for the lyrics, DRH guest spot, and overall energy. LT15 has the best Tim solo with Mile High right behind it. Gorge 2002 has my favorite Roi solo.

That's the best Bartender too, hands down.

Was this Bartender released on one of the WH discs or something? I've lost track but would like to hear it again.

Yeah, I think so, but I forget which one.

https://www.antsmarching.org/tour/Vi...hp?ShowID=3848

Looks like Live Trax 2008 if Ants is right.

Best post Roi PMs are Rothbury ‘08 and Alpine Valley ‘09.

The Alpine Show is the only PM where Jeff gets a solo and it’s his best tribute to Roi IMO.

OneLove41 · 02-12-2018, 11:20 AM

Can’t believe more people haven’t said the one from South Africa with Hugh. Easily the best for me

jasonfilatov · 02-12-2018, 12:47 PM

My favorite is LT15

12/30/95 - Roi is amazing on this one.

I was in the crowd for this one and there were mosh pits up front. People were getting smashed.
