  1. simply cause they wanted so hehe

    i pull myself out from being a PJ fan then hehe
    i have my preferences of course but i love their fishing from the whole catalogue and not with the meaning of representing all the albums playing 1 or 2 songs .. considering the discography without the album separation .. don't know if i have explained myself
    i love the fact that they can easily play Just a Girl instead of Once or Other Side instead of Nothing as it Seems for example
    for me playing just one song of an album in a tour doesn't mean representing that album .. one night we can have 5 songs from Backspacer and 1 from Ten and the next the opposite
    one of the things that i love always loved and that contibutes to make them so special is that they play what they feel to play and not what they're supposed to or people (fans included) want

    This set really is great.The beautiful (underplayed) Oceans opens.And sounds a little off.Ed misses the opening,he comes in late.Only a diehard would notice.It doesnt matter,because its Oceans,and it sounds spectacular once it gets going.

    Then we have a run that is hard to top here.Last Exit,Corduroy,Whipping,Hail Hail,Do The Evolution,Given To Fly,Red Mosquito,Even Flow,MFC,Daughter and Alone.Talk about a 1990's romp.12 in a row to open ? That shut me up good in 2005,and as most of you know,that isnt easy.

    Ed doesnt say much during this run,he just doesnt have to.Corduroy is a monster here,as is Whipping and Do The Evolution,with Ed screaming his head off.

    Red Mosquito (another underplayed gem) is performed for the only time on this Canadian Tour.Its a bit off,Ed comes in while Mike is still riffing at the start,but it still sounds very good.

    Daughter is really good here.Nice jam, with Ed chanting with the crowd.

    Alone is played,the rare bside wasnt played for 10 years,until it was busted out a couple of times on the Vote For Change Tour 2004.Solid version and this ends the 90s run at 12 straight tunes.

    Insignificance is ok,I would rather hear Of The Girl anyday over this,but that's me.

    Not For You,then Black are very,VERY good,we belong together tag is in.Black has a great solo by Mike.He really goes off.

    Save You (sorry Matt) kinda spoils the feel for me,and doesnt fit after Black,IMHO.Iam Mine or Nothing As It Seems maybe in that spot ?

    The main set ends with a rockin version of RVM.

    I too don't understand why Oceans get omitted so much. Same goes for Garden, and (to a lesser extent) Deep while Why Go get played so much. All are great songs that should get relatively equal play amongst eachother.


    You like the slower stuff.

    If it's worth anything, I think Save You is a "first five" song. It's a rocker that'll get the crowd going. It doesn't belong after (or before for that matter) Black.
  4. I do tend to lean towards the slower stuff at times..true,but IMO,Of The Girl and Nothing As It Seems are better songs than Insignificance and Grievance,not that the latter 2 are bad by any means.
  5. Along with Light Years (may have something to do with it being a single back in 2000 and got some radio play), I like those four the best from that album - not that I ever listen to the studio version anymore.

    Breakerfall is a rocking start but I think they have better tunes in that style.

    Parting Ways in a nice closer as well.

    To even the "Save You" score, I believe that you are a "Sleight of Hand" fan. I will come clean and say that I am not.
  6. You know what else I like besides the cover art from that pjbootstrading.org site?

    The printable stats pages!

    Man, I could have used them over the past few months while I was making my mixes.
  7. I can't believe they played "Black, Red, Yellow" in London, Ontario.

    ...and "Hard to Imagine"
  8. Just realized that as GREAT as pearljambootlegs.org is at provided fans with shows, there are a few shows that are missing tracks. For instance, "Small Town" is missing from the Hamilton 2005 show and "Do the Evolution" and "YLB" are missing from the Kitchener show files.

    Not that I really need to hear yet ANOTHER version of these three (classic) songs.
  9. nice to see Eddie and Mike with Jerry Cantrell and Sean Kinney again years after (at Van Halen show)

  10. Is that Wolfgang second from the right?

    And who on Mike's left got cropped out?
  11. Assuming it is legal to do so, is there anywhere I can get cover art for the 2008-2011 bootlegs?

    I was a bit surprised that nothing came with the downloads I purchased from the 2011 shows.
  12. yes he's Eddie Van Halen's son ... i can't recognize the cropped one hehehe
