So I just downloaded Mark's crazy torrent, and I now have all the shows in their entirety. I was thinking instead of burning every show to 1 or 2 discs each that I might just make up one CD of all the best. There's no sense in having 12 different versions of the WC stuff on CD, to me anyways.

Obviously I would have to have the main rarities on there...Fiddler's Green, 38 yrs. Old, Tiger the Lion and a few others.

What songs from what shows would guys say are the best.

Best versions of the World Container songs?
Best "rant" or "adlibs"?

Whats worthy of making the top 18 or so from the club tour?

I was thinking about this too...I think it'd be cool t'do a 2 disc set...The first one would be the best live versions of the tunes from WC, in order, naturally...And the second disc would be set-up like a live show, complete with a realistic set and all, but with the coolest versions of each tune...

I'm planning on creating and torrenting a 2 disc "Best Of 2006". But by all means, go ahead. Also, I'd recommend having copies of the complete concerts from that torrent. They all sound spectacular and its great to hear songs in the context of each show.

I'd make up a compilation of the gems that were played during October & November. As for rants and the like, they're less important to me in comparison to all the rarities The Boys pulled out.

Here's my two-disc set with 17 tracks per disc:

10/17: Springtime In Vienna / The Wherewithal
10/22: Fifty Mission Cap / On The Verge
10/23: Titanic Terrarium / Fire In The Hole
10/25: So Hard Done By / Yawning Or Snarling / Save The Planet
10/26: Putting Down / Lionized / Sherpa
10/28: Fiddler's Green / We'll Go Too
10/29: Thugs / Flamenco / Three Pistols
10/30: Don't Wake Daddy / Locked In The Trunk Of A Car
11/01: Are We Family / Greasy Jungle
11/03: Daredevil / Pigeon Camera
11/04: 38 Years Old / Tiger The Lion
11/06: Twist My Arm / Gift Shop / Something On
11/07: Chagrin Falls / Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man
11/09: 'It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken' / Wheat Kings
11/10: Boots Or Hearts / Scared

I like the idea of a best of 2006 compilation. I have a great one of the 1999 Neil Young solo tour. Maybe it would be best to do it as a set of the best versions of the setlist standards on one disc, best of the rarities on 2 discs like TLB has suggested and then the best of WC on another disc. That way people can take what they want from it. Whatever comes out of it thank-you to those who are willing to put something together.

Can someone post Fiddler's Green from Calgary here?

I'd love to see a best of disc set get made up.
i'd do it myself, but i really don't have time for such things.
thanks in advance to anyone who takes on the task!

If we truly wanted to undertake this, I would say we should wait a while. Maybe more recordings from this year will surface, and some really cool stuff might get played on New Year's Eve as well. I'd wait it out a bit.

There's no need to wait any longer as this was supposed to be a Greatest Hits from the club tour...

True, but I was planning on doing a best a Best of 2006.

Maybe I should have made that more clear that I was referencing that in my last post.

Gotcha!
