In the past couple weeks I've played variable-sized portions of San Diego 11/7/95, Barcelona 11/21/96, Melbourne 3/5/98, Inglewood 7/14/98, Boston 8/30/00, Portland 7/20/06, the "Rarities Unreleased Cuts" promo, and an assortment of scattered tracks I have on my computer. I've said this before, but when I come back after an extended period of not being 24/7 neck-deep in this stuff, my critical inclinations just melt away when I listen to it -- it's just such a happy place for me.

San Diego 11/7/95 was one of those shows I had on silver-disc bootleg in the '90's (the bootleg was called "Monkeywrench" and had the Monkeywrench Radio guys yakking over all the song intros). I'd forgotten that this was the show where Eddie changed the lyrics to "Glorified G" to "glorified version of I hate this song" multiple times (and indeed it was the last performance of the song until 2003).

I am listening to one of the 2000 shows this morning (Dallas) and really enjoying it, and I came here to make essentially this post that I now realize I already made 8 months ago. There are times when I feel like I never want to hear another note of Pearl Jam music again, so familiar I am with it all. But other days, everything about it just takes me to the happiest of places. Today is one of those latter days. I feel like I could just live in this rote live version of "Better Man" forever.

I’m genuinely curious as to how loud you had the volume to even hear that show. If memory serves, the vocals on that are very distant.

Edit: my CDs sound distant, but when I just went to nugs the vocals are much more up front.
