Still standing

wait wut.

why?

[hlniv]

I was 15.

I had just discovered that there were tracks on Pearl Jam singles that were not on either of the two albums.

I bought the CD singles for Jeremy, Even Flow, and Go.

Holy Shit. New Pearl Jam songs. The Singles soundtrack had 2!

Footsteps, Yellow Ledbetter, Alone, Dirty Frank, Breath, State of Love and Trust

Live versions of Blood and Yellow Ledbetter too! OMG This is awesome.

And then I saw it, the Dissident single. With big "Import" label on it. I learned about US singles vs. International singes. They had #1 and #3 at this little record shop. An entire live Pearl Jam concert! I eventually found Dissident #2, maybe the US version.

I recorded them to a tape so i could listen to the whole show without changing CD's.

I was hooked.

Then Vitalogy came out, and within a year or two, i had boxes of bootleg tapes with other concerts and some unreleased songs.

I missed the '94 tour in my hometown, couldn't make the spotty '95 tour dates (i was only 16 and couldn't travel!) and had to wait until No Code and '96 to actually see them live. I was 17 and me and a buddy convinced our parents to let us drive 7 hours to a show.

It all started for me with b-sides. But i really got hooked starting with this show - Atlanta 4/3/94

Toledo OH. Savage Arena. We sat Stone side lower level with my first ever 10C tickets. I can still see Jack Irons bouncing away on the kit.

Ft. Lauderdale. What a tour that was.

We should put all the shows we've ever seen in the bottom of each post so we'd know next time.

1996 needs some sort of official release.

Berlin would be predictable and lazy but if they properly mix it I'm fine with that.

Have we had any confirmation that they recorded any 96 shows?

there was a live track or two on a 10c single iirc.

[Birds in Hell]

Yeah, Smile from Barcelona was on a Christmas single:

[BootsToAsses]

Let's get Barcelona released then!

Annoyingly it's one of the few 96 shows where In My Tree wasn't played, but I can live with that.

They also released a pro-shot video of Present Tense from Budapest(?) around the time of the No Code reissue a couple years ago.

Heard this yesterday on the SiriusXM satellite radiowaves. Sounded pretty nice!

They recorded lots of shows in the 90's that can be remixed. I would imagine that there are multi-tracks for much, if not all, of the Jack era.

But they are busy with whatever they fuck they do when they are too busy to rehearse for tours or return-to-form album recording sessions.

And they frequently use the bullshit excuse that there are tape changes that lose part of a song every 45 minutes, which hasn't stopped anyone else from patching in these brief moments from other shows or audience tapes.

And Berlin was properly mixed. Much like Atlanta 94 was properly mixed and they released a bad remaster of the same mix as a vault release with stuff edited out. Similar to how they could edit out incomplete songs from shows that would take a small amount of time to mix from the multi-tracks for the first time.

Sorry, gotta go. Cabana boy is bringing me a martini.

Shout out for millstreet in Cork.

not just cos it was my first ever PJ show but its a mad setlist and a balance of No Code and everything up to it. Their first time playing most of those songs in eurrope (it was in a tiny shed and first stop on the No Code Euro tour)

Y'know, this was the last Vault release Pearl Jam put out and they made the audio available 4 years ago.

I don't think we're getting any more Vault releases.

[dad]

remember back in 2006…maybe even 2005…in one of the newsletters they told us they were digging in the vault? Eighteen years later and we’ve got twelve shows.

Vault program is a definite letdown.

[Matters]

I have no idea if these are improvements over what’s already out there but I saw this posted today.
Atlanta 1994 Revisited - 2025 Wombat Remix

[Happy Trees]

Let us know.

[patrick]

The current version this show I have is from the vault release, high encode mp3, 44.1khz.

I haven’t listened to the whole thing, but this Wombat mix (I grabbed the 24 bit version) does sound different. Ed's vocals are more forward, and Jeff's bass comes through more too. I know comparing mp3 to flac isn’t an equal comparison so maybe someone out there with one of the previous mixes in flac can comment.

[Kevin Davis]

I checked out a few of the remixed tracks, and I overwhelmingly prefer the original mix. For the most part, I just don't care for the way a lot of these AI/demix projects sound. All of them just seem to have this wonky off-centeredness to them that is really unpleasant to me.

This much more gently remastered version by WCT is, for my tastes, the best-sounding and most complete version out there:
