Which bootleg are you listening to?

London 2000.

Well, a powerful one...the Binaural songs sound so nice, so focused and its crazy to remember now how mad i was at them for barely play Ten in that tour.

One of the reasons the tour was so enjoyable.

House of blues 03.

Man, that improv before Insignificance is so beautiful.

As they often do around anniversaries the Dec 2 06 Honolulu show has been on Sirius a couple times lately. One of my all time favorite in person concert experiences. A gem of a set to wrap the Pearl Jam tour and they just kept playing. The vibe in that arena was so positive for both the audience and band; I've never left a show on such a natural high.

Oh yeah, that was such a cool show.

Chile 2013.

What a great night..i went there. It was a Lollapalooza tour, and they were pretty on fire...a few nights before the BA show was kinda of a letdown and this one was good from the start.

Go and Corduroy were killers.

I'm surprised at such praise for two songs that rarely sound very good in the modern era. Gonna have to check em out.

The "Improv" from St. Louis 2003 recently played; it's pretty good team.

Albany 2003, man what a awesome odd setlist

Albany 2003, man what a awesome odd setlist

A lot of the 2003 shows are a bit too, "Press random on an iPod full of Pearl Jam" to me. I kinda welcomed the structure of the 2006 sets. I don't love Avocado by any stretch but it was exciting that the band was excited about that release and open with four song, or four of the first five songs would come from the new record.

Also, I think the sloppiness and mistakes of the band get overlooked in 2003 because the setlists and shows were fun and the sound of the bootlegs is relatively good compared to what would come later (2008 and onwards).

The 2003 shows don't do much for me either, but Buffalo, Uniondale & the Meixco City run are classic. I also like Hershey a lot as a bootleg but I may be biased because I was there.

The 2006 shows are definitely better, but too much Avocado...their lamest album at that point by quite some margin.

[matt reeder]

I love the 2003 shows but they are a bit sloppy and random at times. There are a decent number of shows that I just don't even remember happening - like, even though I've listened to pretty much every show on that tour, I only have an memory of about half of them.

Speaking of which, my PJ external hard drive is failing and I just lost a bunch of shows, most of them 2003. I have no idea what happened but it's kind of irritating. I have over 20 of the official bootlegs that I'm going to need to rerip and I was able to recover another dozen or so from DVDRs, but I still lost a bunch of shows. If anybody wants to PM with the following 2003 shows I would much appreciate it:

* 4/16/2003 (Charlotte)
* 4/22/2003 (St. Louis)
* 4/29/2003 (Albany)
* 5/30/2003 (Vancouver)
* 6/02/2003 (Irvine)
* 6/07/2003 (Phoenix)
* 6/09/2003 (Dallas)
* 7/03/2003 (Mansfield II)

I may need more at some point but those are the ones I actually listen to at least once or twice a year (especially Charlotte and St. Louis) and I'm bummed to not have them anymore save for some scratched CDRs I traded for in 2003.

Would anyone be interested in uploading shows for me in flac? I bought cds to the shows I went to years ago, but have since gotten rid of all cds for LP format. Yes, even my '00 and '03 boots.

Absolutely.

Melbourne II, 1995. The JJJ broadcast with patch.

Now THIS is Pearl Jam. My kingdom for soundboards of the 1995 Pacific Rim Tour.

[lowlight79]

I put on MSG 1 from 2016. Man, this show is so terrible. I mean this might be the worst garden show they have ever done.

[matt reeder]

I couldn't make it all the way through any of the shows from 2016, though that's mostly because I hate the "Corduroy" bridge singalong more than I've hated anything they've ever done. From the listening that I did, the only shows from the tour that I'd keep for the future are Tampa, Philly II, Toronto I and Pemberton. Maybe Ottawa - I only kept Toronto I because of the Binaural set. Beyond that I don't care.

I listened to Grand Rapids 2006 this morning and it reminded me again of the good times.

That Corduroy sing along is fucking awful

Idiots, right?

Listened to some, but not all of St. Louis 2000 and DC 1998. Both great shows team. I think St. Louis is a little underrated for the 2000 tour. It's a good one. Nice setlist and tight playing. No Corduroy either, and the only show that tour without it.
