Can anyone point me towards the best quality boot from 1995 Soldier Field show?

I am have been listening to this show a lot lately but the copy I have is bad. Where should I go to get a better version? Gremmie's basement? Pearljambootlegs.org? Another site?

I am hoping someone can point me to a great sounding copy instead having to download from a few different sites and picking the best one.

  • I downloaded mine from pearljambootlegs.org and the quality is pretty good. I'd suggest going there.

    This is what I have. Sounds great, other than Jack Irons loudly banging away on every song

    I think the pearljambootlegs.org version is missing some tracks (Forever in Blue Jeans wasn't listed)

    Forever In Blue Jeans is from the Wisconsin show. When the boots came out, they used it as filler along with some other songs to fill up the 3rd disc. It was not played at Soldier Field. 7/11/95 will live as one of the best boots and PJ shows ever!! So raw, so full of energy! Gonna listen to it right now since I'm up and can't sleep LOL...

    I never knew that. I guess I have never looked at the real setlist, just thought my boot had the correct songs on it.

    The Soldier Field show is amazing. Almost 20 years later, I am still mad that I could not get tickets for it.

    Does it have the really bad sound reflection? The copy I have you can hear sound bouncing off the stadium, Ed's voice sounds like he'a talking through a stadium PA.

    I agree about this being the best source as well. I have not listened to it in a while but I'm the type of collector that really only collects 1 source from each show... If there are multiple sources I tend to just keep whichever one I feel sounds best.... I kept this source in my collection.

    I have also been looking for a better quality Soldier Field bootleg, thank you very much Demetrios for your efforts to upload this copy of the show (in flac !). This is the best copy that I've heard. I was looking for a quality close to the Atlanta '94 bootleg - I've got it now thanks to you. Have a nice week.

    Thanks. Can't wait to listen. This show was actually my first ever PJ bootleg. Bought it for $40 at a flea-market in like '97.

    With all due respect...surely you jest. Yes a Jack fan here so turn the drums up! ;)

    Jack played a fantastic set at Soldier Field and if I recall correctly, the next day or so he came out with the beat that was the catalyst for In My Tree. That's a tidy couple of days' work in anyone's book.

    :lol: I agree with you on the jack irons. People can like his style or sound if they want, and he probably played on myfavorite pj album of all time, but the dude is by far the least impressive drummer they have had, technically speaking. Could not play fast, could not play "out of" his groove, fills not that good, etc etc

    Anyway back to the OP, I don't know what links people posted, but I have a copy of the Red Robin 3 Cd print of this show, believe it was a radio station that printed them up or something, taken from the soundboard of the pirate radio broadcast down by the band? it has the live at Leeds style cover. Wish there was more bass in the mix, but overall a pretty quality sounding show compared to audience recordings etc of the time. Has the sum effect bonus tracks which are far inferior sound quality.

  • Someone has recently attempted to improve upon the original 2 source mix. The new mix is available on DIME (and probably elsewhere). This what the uploader had to say about his new mix:

    "This is a mix I’ve wanted to redo for a long time. The mono FM source is thin, tinny, and almost unlistenable by itself, and the Audience source is pretty good overall. A mix was done many years ago, but it has some sync issues and in general I thought I could improve upon it.

    This ended up being way more involved than I thought originally. The FM source does not run at a consistent speed, making it very difficult to align. After doing a baseline stretch of the entire show to get the sources close, I did about 40 additional stretch points to really align things. I also did a significant amount of clap removal to the CSB and lowered the volume of some of the crowd noise, all done before mixing so it wouldn’t be noticeable. In addition, I got rid of the annoying DJ talk, so both encore breaks have been mostly faded out. Overall, I think the results came out pretty good."

    While No Code is alternately my favorite/ second favorite PJ album, I just don't like the sound of Jack Irons live. He just seems to bang and bang away with no nuance. Maybe it was the way he was mixed, I dunno.

    Can anyone post a new (non torrent) link for this boot?
  • hrd2imgnhrd2imgn Southwest Burbs of Chicago Posts: 4,860
    there is not one source that has the whole set. Red Robin made a boot with the whole show except Animal, but had the Milwaukee filler. Q101 a local radio station had a boot that had most of the show, but did have animal. So most web sources are a mix of the two boots. All is FM soundboard, as it was a monkey wrench live fm broadcast. Bass is a little low on them, but all the other parts are spectacular. There is a third boot out there, I think it is also missing animal.
