In My Tree and Given to Fly benefit most on this from Jack’s groove over Matt’s propulsion.

GTF from 1998 with Matt sounds awesome. In My Tree, yes..its a jack song, but i was more blown away with Jeff than with him actually.

I was able to snag one of the CD’s from Bull Moose’s website on Sunday morning, apparently in an immense stroke of luck and good timing. It arrived yesterday. The sleeve is lovely, and what I’ve played so far sounds great — better or worse than the best bootleg versions, I’m not sure, but regardless, there is definitely some satisfaction that comes with having this thing in my hands after 25 years. It broke 14 year-old KD’s heart when he walked to Best Buy in the summer of 1998 and found out at the door that it had been blacklisted. This is my favorite PJ era no doubt, and I’m so glad it’s finally represented in the official canon.

The vinyl also sounds great; I am glad we are both happy.

Jesus Christ. That’s half the show. Now I wish I didn’t order this

Fuck. I answered this question myself back on the second or third page of this very thread. I’m a dumbass.

I didn't forget Jack. I expected someone to quote me and add Jack. And someone to quote them and add Jeff. And someone to quote them and add Stone. And someone to quote them and say Stone doesn't actually do anything worthwhile on this album.

have you all forgotten the reason this sounds good to begin with? the mighty Brett Eliason?

monsters. all of you.

Um, I don't think Brett did this - it was recorded by Triple J so most likely mixed by them (it does have that made-for-FM brightness to it).

My tracking is stuck, they printed a label on Tuesday...this sucks.

Aside from this being incomplete but also available on the round spinny thing, does anyone know if it even sounds better than this version available on https://pearljamconcertchronology.com/dgr-series/ which is the best sounding complete version I'm aware of?

I didn't notice any significant differences between what FGE compiled and the official release, other than recognizing when the official release cut something out.

BTW best version of MFC, hands down.

sick site! thanks!

found my first ever PJ show on here

Was the original Best Buy version the whole show or was it truncated like this release?

pretty sure it was missing tracks like this version.

Clear version arrived today. Just put it on and it’s a great snapshot of the band at the time. Very enjoyable. Packaging is fine. It’s a pretty thing.

Identical. This is a replica of the Best Buy release.

I also notice that it is getting a lot more attention than usual in general music areas, which is baffling to me.

Maybe because it looks like a "regular" release?

Maybe the version I have in my archives isn't a true rip of the BB disc, but I don't think this release is quite "identical." Several tracks have different run times, evidently retracked to allow for songs to start at the beginning of the music as opposed to including Ed-speak at the start. I agree, however, that the new release seems to have the same overall sound as the ill fated BB release.

this album absolutely FUCKS
