Yeah, for some reason it wouldn't extract the songs. My friend tried on her computer and had no problems so it must be an issue on my end. I have it all now, though. Thanks :)

I'm partial to Fortunate Son from Perth, 02/23/2003, and Crazy Mary from Philadelphia, 04/28/2003. I don't really get pumped up over the jam in Crazy Mary, because I already know Mike can shred and Boom is... Boom. So the less waffling, the better in that one. I guess 2000 versions would be ok too if I'm going by that standard.

In this case, he is absolutely right.

Alright, I submit, but I like the versions from New York and Philly from 2003 when they used it as an opener.

Hey, team. I finally got all of the individual albums. Thanks to ridleybradout for his work and all of the other folks for nominating and suggesting versions for this thing.

It's great on shuffle. I can't wait to test it out on the road.

Shuffle is the only way to listen to this (in my opinion). Feels more like a live show.

If better live versions of rarer songs (e.g., Other Side, Hold On) spring up here and there, will the existing versions be replaced? That Worcester version of Other Side isn't so... rehearsed? Crisp? I feel bad for Jeff. That version from Poland on this more recent tour doesn't seem so bad though.

Thoughts?

I listened to it through my iPhone speaker, so I could be wrong.

Am I wrong? What about the newer Hold On from this year? Is it an improvement?

Still digging it. Thanks, team. That version of Footsteps from Houston 2000 came on when I was driving home today and I was like, “wow, this Pearl Jam band... they really had it!” Jokes aside, there’s lots of stuff on here I haven’t heard since I stopped being obsessed with the bootlegs after the 2006 tour. Ed’s voice was really crisp on that Canadian tour from 2005 and then I think we all know what happened after that. Does anybody have a theory as to why they decide to play deep cuts in front of a stadium audience having maybe rehearsed the song once as a band these days? I don’t want to shit on the band. I still love them, but what’s with the uncoordinated approach? Is it supposed to be organic? Endearing? Can we get Ed to a vocal coach?

They have been doing this since around 2009. They probably realized they could get away with anything when the fanbase majorly creamed their pants over that horrible run of Philly shows.

That run of shows made me realize I'd much rather not hear No Way than hear No Way performed poorly.

Has anybody thought of making a compilation of cringe-worthy performances? The worst vocal flubs and squeaks? The band playing in six different time zones? Do they rehearse anymore?

The funniest thing is that for many years I stuck up for "Evacuation" when everybody shit on it and said it was a horrible song.

So what do I get at my Philly show? The worst-ever performance of "Evacuation".

That was enough for me.

I listened to this just now. Kind of sounds like Stone is the only person in the band who knows what’s going on in the song. All of the transitions are terrible.

Many songs are like that.

Those 4 shows were like one prolonged, torturous trainwreck.

But hey, they played Bugs!
