This bootleg slays.

Pearl Jam is truly good again.

Better DotC and Quick Escape than Sea Hear Now, by an eyelash. The energy on Quick Escape is just slightly darker. So good.

Hopefully i can get it soon! Seems like a great show.

Potentially unpopular RM opinion...

They were never not good, just less good than before.

Agreed. I said that very much tongue-in-cheek. Love this band.

Quick Escape is fucking sick

No Mike on DOTC

That was such a disappointment at the show. I remember him not coming in when he was supposed to. The sound wasn't on for him yet or some shit. Saw him ripping pissed i think.

It's ok. I saw him play it two nights in a row, so I enjoyed it for you one of the nights

Gee thanks

I am not a fan at all of the mixing on the new boots.

yea im not impressed. Guitars seem buried. I also just dont love Stones guitar tone right now.

That being said: These are outdoor festivals so perhaps ill reserve judgement until proper tour and more boots.

I hung near the soundboard at Ohana Encore and their gear boxes had the rat painted on them.

The sound was pretty great but it was very low end heavy and stone and mike were buried a little

So, i guess the boots are pretty good representative.

Totally baseless assumption but: Anything to do with the fact they didn't have the power/capabilities of really cranking sound out to large audience like they do now and that was then an easier controlled environment when recording/mixing the live shows?

lets go back to the 60's

Josh Evans loves the low end. The live Video releases were all pretty heavy on the low end. Its good to an extent because Ament is where he should be but it seems to all be at the expensive of the cutting guitars.

Also, again, dont like Stones guitar tone. I hope he moves on from this come full tour....
