This source is a completely different mix than the circulating FM copy (FM is incomplete - missing 2 songs).
Probably the safety mix given to the band after the show.
I requested some comments about this special show. Here is what Joey Burns had to say about it:
"Calexico and members of Mariachi Luz de Luna travelled roughly 1,000
kilometers the night before our performance at Roskilde in Denmark on
July 1, 2000. I am sure we had been up nearly the whole night
partying and watching movies on the bus and were fast asleep upon arrival to
the festival. When we all woke the next morning there was an unusual
somber tone in the air as we began hearing the news and details of
the tragedy that occured the night before during Pearl Jam's set on the
main stage. We couldn't believe it and were all in shock. How could
so many people die at one of Europe's most renown festivals?
Some bands decided to cancel and there was confusion at first whether
or not the festival would continue. For a while we were all on hold
not knowing what would happen.
It was a very difficult decision, but the promoters of the festival
decided to go on as scheduled.
Chan Marshall of Cat Power played before us early that afternoon all
by herself on the same stage as us and delivered a very heartfelt and
moving set. She tapped into the spirit that everyone in the whole
festival grounds was feeling with her soulful voice and minimal
accompaniment. After experiencing her set, John Convertino and I decided to
begin our set as a two piece (drums and guitar) and play an
instrumental meditation in honor of those who had passed away. From there we
slowly built up the dynamics of the set and it was clear that even
though the crowd was in a state of mourning, they also wanted to
celebrate, and so when the surprise guests of Mariachi Luz de Luna walked
onstage, the whole crowd lit up. It was an amazing set, one we will never forget."
