People Like Us Didn't Stop Live Vol 2

I'm spinning this cd pretty heavily too - an embarrassment of riches to be sure, so much great stuff - two tracks that I find most striking are the almost punk-rock version of "Social Studies" (didn't expect that!) and "Bailout", a song which I had never heard before. Idaho as power-trio?? Fantastic. Also, dare I say that the live version of "If You Dare" actually surpasses the studio versio?. Also, I knew John played live with Idaho in more recent years, so it's SO good to have those performances on disc finally. Full circle kind of. In all, having been an Idaho fan for 20+ years - since I was a teenager - listening to PLUDS is like listening back on the last 20 years of my life; I've been so close to many of these songs it's almost like they're part of my DNA haha. Anyway, I'll stop gushing, but thank you Jeff for putting this out. Love it.

Agree with the bunch below ... besides the slammin performances, the whole thing sounds fantastic ... really appreciate the time you took putting this together

I would sell a kidney to hear one of those 2002 sets in full ;-) seriously

This new live album is absolutely gorgeous - maybe someday you'll have a chance to visit Toronto again? That would be make my YEAR :)

Best,
Jay

Thank you Jeff, it's really great !

I'm waiting for your retun on stage in France (to record a part of the vol. 3 ; -) maybe ? ).

Take care. See you !

Finally just had the chance to listen straight through. Sounds glorious--thanks so much for releasing it, Jeff! It's been more than 15 years since I last got to see you play, and this helps soothe that void. Still hoping you'll return to Toronto one day!
Hope all's well in LA.
Best,
