The SV series one is great. It's the ALD source but has the gaps (minimal, just a few seconds in release and somewhere else) patched with a good audience recording.

[Norah]

Yep, that's the one.

The SV series is a collection of "essential" pearl jam live recordings put together some years ago. It's a pretty solid collection.

Recording Notes:
The annoying glitches on the ALD source have been removed during "Release", but it still sounds a little strange where the two sources didn't completely gel (still, it is 2000 times better than the glitches of course). The mono ALD recording is greatly improved by the mix, basically turning it into a stereo recording.

Show Notes (thanks to Five Horizons):
An amazing show with Ed's emotions all over the place. Ed takes the stage prior to Ben Harper's set, plays the riff to 'Wishlist' saying, "I wish I was Ben Harper" before playing 'Throw Your Arms Around Me.' Opening music to PJ's set is 'Aye Davanita' and *not* 'The Color Red!' 'GTF' and Dissident are extremely emotional; it appears as though Ed is crying, and as a result, he flubs a few words. Before 'MFC' he says he had to compose himself before going on. Before 'Even Flow,' he comments, "It's take no prisoners time;" he gets the words right and laughs about it. The 'Habit' saying is "Speaking as a someone who pahked the cah at the Gahden," (a reference to the Boston Garden) delivered with an exaggerated Boston accent. Before "Present Tense,' Ed says he was reading this thing in the hotel room, and he wanted to see if it said anything about the concert coming up, and he pretends like he's reading this pamphlet, and says: "As yet another summer of drunken musical orgies comes to a close at the Great Woods Amphitheatre ... Pearl Jam and Ben Harper: sold out, SUCKER ..." During 'Porch' Ed comes into the crowd, telling people not to pull on him. Right before 'Go' he says, "It's coming to a close ... if this was my summer, this is what I'd be thinking." Some idiot is throwing quarters at Ed and he launches into a huge tirade (rightfully so) and then catches himself ("Ahh, that felt good.") 'Last Kiss' is started and stopped, with Ed noting, "They've got it now ... same drums though." The show is closed with, "Have a nice millenium; until next time." This is one of the finest shows of 1998, with excellent versions of songs and the band in great spirits. As is often typical, the second show at the same venue is the best!

This is being distributed by blackredyellow.com, and is part of a series of the best Pearl Jam shows in existance.

Vaguely remember that. Where does a bro go to get that?

If it's just this show I can upload it for you. If you're looking for the whole series we should just talk HD&P.

[evenslow]

The Quarter Rant. Another of my favorite PJ related things.

Why the hell would Ed be crying during this show? Small his table? Sits just one?

[Norah]

Given to Fly was dedicated to someone who had died recently, so it was probably that.

[Norah]

Spenno will love the 5h right up and how it perpetuates the second show is best myth.

[@SkitchP]

I have it on mp3 if anyone wants it.

[Norah]

I see what you did there.
