there's this guy i know only a bit. only enough to know that he likes "alternative" rock and likes Pearl Jam. i'll probably give him a few bort compilations, but they might not be up his alley. some cool pearl jam stuff that he doesn't already have would be the safety net gift.

i've got pearl jam at cuyahoga hall (i think that's how it's spelled), maybe from the early 00's or late 90's.

your best bet would be to befriend a member of the pearl jam fan club. they always have the best boots.

edit: if you want a copy, pm me.

pearl jam live CD's are hard to come by.

I've got the West Palm Beach Show from 08/09/00 (i bought it from that whole series that they put out) I'd be happy to YSI if you like. Just PM and I'll do it.

Setlist:Oceans, Corduroy, Grievance, Animal, Brain of J, Red Mosquito, Nothing As It Seems, Even Flow, Faithfull, Dissident, Thin Air, Lukin, Not For You, Present Tense, MFC, Improv, Habit, Breakerfall, Insignificance, Rearviewmirror
enc 1: State of Love And Trust, Do The Evolution, Better Man, Elderly Woman, Go
enc 2: Leaving Here, Rockin' In The Free World

yeah i've found a dozen of them on slsk, but i don't have working speakers on my comp. i don't want to d/l the whole thing, burn it to a cd, and listen to it just to find out that the sound quality is garbage. that's why i'm looking for suggestions. anyway, some peeps have some PMs coming

while we're on the subject: Does anybody have a clean copy of "Live On Two Legs"? Mine is all scrachy...

did they put out CD's with shitty quality?
that sucks if they did.

I've got some old bootlegs as well as a bunch of the shows that they released themselves. Unfortunately I'm at work all day.

Are you aware that Pearl Jam released dozens of official bootlegs, every single one of which was professionally recorded?

The one to get is Mansfield, July 11, 2003 - it's three discs, 48 songs. The first disc is an acoustic set, the other two disc are the rest of the regular concert. PM me if interested, I'll up it for you tonight.

Here's AllMusic's review:

Pearl Jam eases into its epic 48-song Mansfield, MA, show with the poignant "Long Road" from the 1996 film Dead Man Walking. It is the perfect opener for these aging alternative giants who have made a mission out of avoiding the path of least resistance and putting on marathon live shows. This first set of the evening sticks to acoustic versions of fan favorites like "Indifference" and "Sometimes" before breaking for a Sleater-Kinney set (not included). Set two kicks off with an ominous version of "Can't Keep" from Riot Act before exploding into brutal, full-throated renderings of "Breakerfall" and "Brain of J." Frontman Eddie Vedder sounds tired yet incrementally possessed as the show continues, delivering the anthemic "Why Go" with its chorus of "Why go home/Why go home" like a schoolyard dare. The audience takes his advice and screams through three encores, including classics like "Jeremy" and classic covers like "Fortunate Son" and "Rockin' in the Free World," before delivering the enduring singalong B-side "Yellow Ledbetter" like the blue-collar road dogs the band has become.

Yep.

The one I've got sounds pretty damn good. I'd have to look but I'd assume that they are probably all soundboard>multitrack (adat?) and then remixed and mastered digitally at a pretty high level.

I don't really see pearl jam putting out crappy quality though I could be wrong.

You want a ysi?

check ur box or get your ass on AIM.

Uploading now.

The one I have sounds great. I bought it back when I was giving them a second chance after I had my flourish with them in the early 90s. I actually bought (Berlin?) because they did "Baba O' Riley".

i did not know Pearl Jam released their own lives discs. now i do. thanks goes out to bloor. PM coming your way mr. mayor.
