  1. I'm always searching for new bootlegs - it came about about a year ago. I'm hoping this individual eventually does something like it for the 2003 tour and maybe the 2006 one, as well. Anyway, this one's great for the artwork alone - although the mix is, to me anyway, a "must have." I'm much newer to the pj bootleg "game" than you are, however, so I can see why you might not need it.


  2. As you are probably aware (from this thread), I recently listened to all 16 shows of the first leg of the 2006 tour. I think I overdid it as I too was getting a bit bored - my ratings of the show seem to go down as the tour progressed.

    Received Backspacer on vinyl today and the New Year's Eve show from NYC. They were on sale on the Pearl Jam store so I picked them cheap at around $13. Still haven't received my Spectrum 2009 boxset yet...


    Nice collecting! The only non-album music I have a hard copy of is the "Jeremy" single, the "Merkinball" EP, and the Night 1 Toronto show that I attended last year - oh, and the PJ20 DVD (deluxe version) and the Touring Band DVD (which is still in its wrapper - I've watched it on-line.)
  4. By the way, is it "I Got Id" or "I Got ID?"
  5. Originally posted by RUMMY:My plan is to start from the beginning - Virginia Beach, I believe.

    I just "primed" myself by listening to that Live on Three Legs compilation. Did you ever get it? It's 99 tracks on 6 CD's - two from each leg.



    Why dont we review the 2nd Leg of 2000,after we finish these last couple of shows from Leg 1 2006 ????

    We can then go back to 2006,after Leg 2 of 2000.Then come back to Leg 3 2000.This way,we will keep each tour fresh.I would like to break down each show from Leg 3 2000..that part of the tour was the strongest IMO.
  6. I was planning to "comment" on each show but I suppose I can be convinced to beef up my reflections. I think I will still scale it back, however - at least compared to my 2006 reviews. There's probably little need to comment on regulars like "Corduroy" and "Even Flow" ever time they make an appearance in the setlist.

    Early comment on Virginia Beach: It's excellent. As much as I rave about the band's first five albums, I really like the live performances from the songs from Binaural. In terms of songs (but maybe not studio production), it is definitely #6 on my PJ album list. I've said before that it could interchange with Riot Act but I don't feel that way anymore. There are a few exceptions, of course, but for me most of the songs from Binaural are better than most from Riot Act - and the albums that followed.
  7. Still no rumors in the US on the fall show, this if there will be one? Read here and there it likely will be on the West Coast or South?
  8. I suppose the time of year would be better suited for the South but its "hard to imagine" that they wouldn't stop in places like NYC and Boston. The new Barclay's Centre in Brooklyn has been mentioned a here and there - just speculation, however.

    Binaural has much better songs than Riot Act IMO.I agree the recordings were muddy,as Yield and No Code were,so the songs sound much better in a live setting.Of course,I blame EV for this.
  10. The 2000 boots were the first ones to come out,so they hold a certain place in history for me.I remember I would walk over to Tower Records on Broadway and W 4th st,and grab a couple of PJ boots each week.Starting when Europe 2000 was released.

    I just love those boots.

    Lets finish up this leg for '06,and dive into Leg 2,from 2000.You really need to hear those shows from '00 Matt.

    Its the big 5,and Binaural.....easy listening for this PJ fan....and hey,there is no Unemployable and Marker to trip up the sets...LOL
  12. ^It's so true. I'm just finishing up the Virginia Beach show (YLB playing) and there really hasn't been any songs I wanted to skip.

    I will miss "Alive," however.
