I'll put the data into a spreadsheet program and perform a few regression analyses on the "data."

This is a bit crude but….

Let y = years after 1990
Let x = album number

For example, Ten gets data point (1,1) since it was PJ's first album and released in 1991. No Code gets data point (4,6).

We're looking to find y when x=10, PJ's 10th album.

A Linear Regression gives y=2.183x - 2.14.

So y = 2.18(10) – 2.14 = 19.66 (which rounds to 10, meaning their 10th studio album should have been released in 2010. That’s, obviously not possible but since the length between albums increases as time goes on, a linear model seems inappropriate.

Let’s try an Exponential Model:
Here, the regression analysis yields y = 1.28(1.384)^x.

So y = 1.28(1.384)^10 = 33 – so this means we shouldn’t not expect another album until 2023! Yikes.

As you can see, Pearl Jam setlist randomness extends into their studio album release dates. If they say it’ll be in 2013, I’ll take their word for it.

Aside from many of the tracks you listed for various mixes (I used those to help me with some of my own compilations) I was only summarzing within the thread. However, I/we could go through all 2800 or so posts an pull the data.

It would be great to compile the data/reviews into one document. It would take a while (heck, it might never end!) to get "all" the shows (properly) reviewed but it'd be an interesting process, if anything.

I'd also like to compile a list of each song's BEST performance. They're obviously be some (a lot of) debate here but I'd really like that list for my ULTIMATE MIX.

I have been listening to the Halifax gig today (09.22.05) and I will quote Thom Yorke on todays weather here in NYC..."Hello,were called Radiohead,and were pleased to meet you,on this cold,wet,shitty day...this is one of our new songs" prior to the band playing Electioneering, Pinkpop '96.....classic.

Halifax is such a great,loose gig..EV is just having a blast on stage..and many a bottle of red...

I think we should each do a review (all are obviously welcome to join in) of a specific show from the 90's - from the remastered "series" and official releases only, of course. I do, however, have other shows to listen to. Not to mention that I should listen to some Radiohead in June.

The history mix is something a really want to do but I think we need to "debate" about which songs should be included (all of them?) and, of course which versions are best. Like I mentioned earlier, it'll be difficult to chose the best version of say, Even Flow. Was it best in 1992 or did it age like a fine wine over time? Maybe we should agree to only choose tracks from the bootleg series that started in 2000. That'll help. In any case, this we'll need to take our time on this. It'll be worth it in the end.

I'm tempted to create a greatest hits using the previouly-mentioned remasters from the 1990's shows. At least there's "only" about 15 shows to choose from.

Sounds good.....the problem with the released 90s live material, is that there simply isnt much..we have Vault 1 from Seattle '92 and Drop in the Park from '92 as well....Orpheum from '94,and Live on 2 Legs from 98,and 2 Legs is a combo of gigs....I dont count Atlanta,as it was a broadcast...and not an official release,so we shouldnt use it...same goes for the '96 Berlin and '98 Melbourne broadcast.

The Orpheum gig is amazing..Oceans and Even Flow are fantastic,and IMO the BEST early versions of those tunes...
