90's bootleg collections?

[doug rr]

cool thread, this was at the time when I worked at cd warehouse and then opened my own record store. I think i have just about everyone of them.
I don't think i've looked at or listened to them in many years

While not a bootleg, one of the first live PJ shows I had was the official Dissident "Live in Atlanta" set. Loved it. Still have it sitting around.

I recorded it onto tape and xeroxed the cover, so I could take this with me everywhere. I found part 1 in a used shop a few weeks ago. Still one of my favorite shows, all these years later!

I somehow stumbled across the full 3-disc set and booklet at the used cd store for like $8. Gracias to the dingus who traded it in, whoever and wherever you are

Dayum! No joke, $8 for the full set? I think it cost me around $47 for the entire set back in 1995? I bought it part by part and had to wait for each to come in from the Record Exchange in Lynchburg, VA. $26 part one and $13 for the other 2. Every time I see something like this or the Bootlegs from 2000-2003, I snatch them up without hesitation, unless the price is outrageous. I gave a lot of my bootlegs/singles to my wife's cousin, who was in the war circa 2003-2004. He and his older brother are big PJ fans, too.

I would have laughed if you saw it and right before picking it up to buy, Mike McCready swooped in and stole it from you.

That's an awesome story! Which Beatles record was it?

[PearlJames]

I found a bootleg of a 1998 show called Great Night At Great Woods maybe 10 years ago at a resale shop. Looks to be PJ's 1998 Mansfield show. The quality is horrendous at times but amazing at others, like it opens with Release and sounds great, then goes into Brain of J and my ears start to bleed. I think it cost $25 but having a high quality recording of Eddie's infamous quarter rant was worth it.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Found these tonight

[TremorJam]

I found the All Night Thing bootleg sans artwork and case for $1 yesterday. I had no idea which one it was until I got home and put it in the laptop to be read. The art on the cd is the "Jam" jar before it's broken.


Apparently, it's from Newcastle 2/22/1992.

[Stardog Champion]

Good topic. I just found a bunch of my old bootlegs the other day. I'll go through them tonight.

Had this back in the day as well. I was completely obsessed with this show for a significant amount of time.

One for the Aussies:



This label's boots were everywhere when I was in high school, I had a bunch of their Pearl Jam and Nirvana releases (all lost in the mists of time).

I still have this exact one boxed up somewhere. It's either this one or another bootleg by the same label that has the definitive versions of Sonic Reducer and State of Love and Trust to my ears.

And one that I can't find a picture of called "Fan Club Singles and More." The title on the cover actually includes the quotation marks.

[Biff Pocoroba]

I still have several of these; they were a big factor turning me from a casual fan to a more hardcore one. The sound quality varied greatly but if you could find a good soundboard or radio recording you felt like you struck gold.
I also spent way too money on them when I didn't have that much to spend.

[stip]

Probably at least a thousand dollars during college.

[bada]

Yeah they were $50 a pop in my neck of the woods. The guy would let me listen to them first before buying though.

[Aliveguy]

I got into the band in 94.... took a trip to Italy for school...where alot fo these were made... came back with about 40 of them...

Kept buying every single one I could get my hands on... probably owned almost all of them in existence and still have them all nicely catalogued

Off the top of my head the best/most played were:

Black Pearl - Atlanta 4/3/94
Aussie Dynamos - Melbourne 3/17/95
Stepping Stones - Red Rocks 6/20/95
Attenzione - Milan 6/20?/92
various titles think i owned 3 discs that had this show on it - Zurich 6/18/92

Soooo many good memories. Those things were golden
