Tracks 7-15 w/ Mariachi Luz De Luna

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."

Thanks to Calexico for letting this out of the archives and for allowing this to be seeded into the community!
