I've always thought Getaway sounds relatively lacklustre on bootlegs. I can't remember if it is Phoenix or Spokane but it sounds rushed to the point where Vedder is struggling to keep up. It sounds as if with most recent songs, they have tuned it down half a step to cater for Vedder's voice. It is the same with Gonna See My Friend – he can't replicate the intensity of his vocals on the record live. Obviously if you're playing 30+ songs, you want to preserve your voice, but it sounds really damp. I love it on the record, it sounds tight as hell. I was disappointed with it live, admittedly.
We both seem to making arguments against not only each other but ourselves!
I'm making arguments against the newer, faster stuff (yet defending Getaway) while you say play the newer, faster ones but Supersonic and Getaway don't live up to their studio versions.We are silly.
