Oh, I know.  I saw them at the Orpheum in Boston.  I was about 20 rows 
back, center with a buddy who drove with me three hours to go.  Our 
minds were blown.  I bought everything I could- three shirts, a 
program, a huge poster and we blasted PSB tracks all the way home.

I have to disagree with you slightly about track versions.  If I'm not 
mistaken, "We All Fell Better..." was a remix of some sort and I'm not 
sure that the opener, "This Must Be The Place...", isn't slightly 
extended, opening with that clean bass drum kick and "Everybody, move 
your body" sample as it does.  And "What Have I Done To Deserve This" 
opens with the disco mix sample of the jet plane.  Just a nitpick.
