Welcome to The Last Exit, a PJ bootlegs review blog. As of now there are close to 400 reviews from various tours, most reviews are quite in depth. The reviews were written by three 10C members: Boyo79, YLed2, and myself. It will continually be updated with new reviews.

Many of these reviews, but not all, can be found in the “Which Bootlegs Are You Listening To” thread in GTF here, but going through that massive thread can take far too long. This blog is the easiest and most convenient way to see what a show is like before you download it or buy. Enjoy and share! Link below.

    Where did you get the official boots of Charlotte and Charlottesville??

    I bought the mp3s as soon as Nugs put them up for sale. They were taken off the next day I believe. They should be back up very soon.

    They're all amazing so far. Getting to the last 3 shows of leg #1 this week. Baltimore is my favorite now. Hartford was my favorite previously. 25 songs into the Baltimore set and Ed belts out Nothingman like its 1994. Fucking incredible performance and show all together.

  • I always pretty much enjoyed the reviews you guys posted and definitely value the extra length you go through writing down your thoughs and impressions. I will most definitely check the new site out. I am sure it will provide me with some valuable pointers. Much obliged, and keep up the good work!

    This is an amazing thread that I owe you all a great deal of gratitude for. Loved PJ since I first saw the Alive video on MTV. Versus was one of 2 albums in my life where it was damn near impossible waiting for it to hit the shelves (the other was In Utero). I lost touch with PJ in the early 2000's as they stopped coming to Phoenix. I have small children so travelling to a show hasnt been possible as any money for vacations needed to go to family vacations. The main Rock radio station here rarely plays PJ for the same reason as I did plus it is more of a hard rock station. So over the years I gradually shifted to listening to things like Five Finger Death Punch, Slipknot and and other bands that are more relevant in this market. With PJ finally coming to PHX again I found my lost love for them and rediscovered the joy they used to bring me. It would have been great to never losing touch with the guys but this has been a magical journey for me. So much PJ music to re-consume and fall in love with again. I barely listened to anything past Yield beyond my Gorge box set I listened to occasionally. So many boots to listen to and catch up on. Your reviews have been helping navigate me back through PJ's history. I got my PJ20 book this week so right now I am a full fledged PJ junkie. I don't think I have listed to any other artist since the Phoenix show in late November although the 20th anniversary box set of In Utero is starting to call me to tell me to go buy it.

    Another well natured bump.

    Lots of in depth reviews in here to help u decide on bootleg purchases or selected downloads. Ever get tired of buying a boot because it has your favorite rarity or song but unfortunately the band messed it up a little? Well with our reviews u can make sure the boot your buying fits your needs and desires. If you want a good version of a certain song there's a good chance we have it covered in our reviews!
