Porno For Pyros
Mountain Song

Notes: Due mainly to a rowdy crowd, it takes about 8 minutes before the band starts playing. It was the band's first show since Woodstock '94. "Porpoise Head" has some additional backing vocals, I assume from Pete. It's also kinda the first live performance of "Good God's Urge".. though the "Urge" part was played at Woodstock. I believe it's the first time Porno played "Mountain Song" (unfortunately plagued by technical difficulties).. They played it a bunch in '96, so it doesn't really seem like a big deal anymore, but at the time it was huge!

7/13/96 Edenfest, Mosport Park, Toronto, Canada (Much Music TV interview)
Source: TV>video>tape>mp3
11:50
interview and live clips
Notes: Mike Watt (briefly) and Perry talk to Much Music, Canadian TV. Some interesting stuff, like about all the sex he had in the 80s. It's interspersed with live clips, presumably from the band's Edenfest performance. I believe the source trader for this recording put a mic up to the TV speaker instead of properly transferring the audio, so the quality isn't great.

I Would For You
My Time
Mountain Song

Notes: Perry mentions he broke his ankle last time he played at the venue (with Jane's in 1988). They delight the crowd by closing the show with a block of Jane's tunes.. pretty much unheard of at a P4P show at the time. Before "I Would For You", Perry says, "Well, I haven't done this song in a couple of years, but I'm in a good mood."

Notes: Interview bits with album tracks. Very annoying DJ. I think this is missing the last 30 minutes or so. Nice acoustic version of "100 Ways", the only non-album version played.
