  1. As far as the actual band, 2006 is my favorite.
    But I totally agree with Ed, starting last year the actual sound of the boots is better than ever. I wish the 2010 boots had the quality mixing of 2013-2014.
  2. Well we've being going on and on about how great it is that they are playing virtually all of their back catalog on this tour but they really have been doing it since 2009 - or even as early as 2006. Come to think of it, the Backspacer tour had a few songs that the LB tour didn't (Brother, Bugs, and Rival come to mind) and they played Dirty Frank twice in 2006!

    In terms of sound, however, the more recent boots sound better - I can definitely hear an improvement with the latest ones compared to those from 2009.
  3. Speaking of Pearl Jam bootlegs (well, I guess that's what I usually do) I finally got around to listening to the 1996 Randall's Island show (night 2) yesterday and today - that's one hell of a show. The sound quality of the bootleg isn't great but is definitely listenable - and what a setlist!

    Assuming they have the master tapes from this show, it must be released from the vault - SOON!
  5. I listened to Stockholm and Oslo '14 over the last 2 days . Might have to do a 2 Nights in Scandinavia mix !!! Ed sounds great over those 2 nights ! Red Mosquito !! Mistakes and all I love that tune lol

    I laughed out loud when Ed says after My Fathers Son (in Stockholm) "That one is about having a shitty Father , and if theres one good thing about having a shitty father , when you become one , it teaches you exactly about what not to do." classic

    Sirius radio had the Tulsa show on earlier today . I heard only a few tunes (Sirens GTF) . Ed's voice sounded quite raspy and GTF did not have that climbing climax to it .
  7. Was rocking my pj melbourne show shirt at the pub tonight
  9. Just for the record -and I'm no PJ expert as you know- , 2006 is my favourite bootleg year too. Followed by 2003.
  10. Listening to No Code on Spotify while taking a jog on the beach this morning ...not sure if it's my Bose headphones or what...but compared to my cd , this sounds much clearer and more crispy...is it my imagination ?

    Matt ?

    Matt ?

    Is your version ripped onto iTunes? It could be that Spotify streams their albums at 320kbps whereas your ripped version could be 192. Either way, it has never been that much of a crisp-sounding album.
  12. I don't listen to No Code so it isn't on my iPhone

    That must be it , cause it actually sounds pretty good
