I was never looking for (or expecting) individual recognition by Jimmy in the liner notes (as someone else suggested) or by any other method. I was also not trying to take sole credit for the idea. I believe several BNers were all a part of the inspiration for this CD as well as my post 2 years ago. We recognized that during the 2008 tour, Jimmy was doing a different song during the second encore of each show. All I did was put those songs together in a single collection.

I also noticed what Jimmy said before Death Of An Unpopular Poet (disc 2, track 9) as Tiki Bar mentioned above. I'm sure we mentioned in several setlist threads during the early part of the tour that it was a different encore song on each show, which was really cool. It kept each show fresh and slightly different from the previous shows. Perhaps he or someone in his camp also noticed that, either through BN or just on their own. We may never know...

I seem to recall Jimmy mentioning somewhere that he was going to try and change up the setlist for each show for that tour. I don't think it during a preshow interview; it may have been a call-in interview on RM (sorry, I don't remember the specifics).

I'm glad he released the Encores set. I also like to think that several of us here at BN did inspire him to put these songs together. I would not be surprised to learn if someone in Jimmy's camp may have downloaded the Encore Collection to determine how such a package would sound before starting the production process.

As always, thanks to Jimmy and to RM for streaming his shows to us and letting us have a virtual front row seat to each show.

I had to go back to the same store today for some camping supplies and I looked for a display. I found a big carboard display in the photo section - back to back with the Avatar movie display. I also found the Landshark hat with the bottle opener on the brim (bought that too). I really gotta cut this out!
