Official Bootlegs With Incredible Moments!

edited October 2009 in The Porch
Have you ever thrown in a bootleg from a show and at a certain point after a song, thought to yourself, that was fucking amazing, everyone should hear that so they know what an incredible live band Pearl Jam is? I would like to compile a list of songs that have really blown you away and that you have wanted other people to hear and know what they think. This could either come from a show you were at or just one from your collection. It's ok if we end up with ten versions of Porch or Rearviewmirror, i want to hear them all!

I'll start with three:

Of The Girl - Katowice, Poland, June 16th 2000 (Just listened to this yesterday and WOW best version i've ever heard by far, Mike's guitar work is so badass)

Long Road - Atlantic City, NJ, Sept. 30th 2005 (I always find myself pulling out this bootleg just to hear them open with a stunning version of Long Road, it gives me chills every time i hear it)

Alive - Vancouver,B.C., Sept. 2 2005 (So many great versions of this song but this one is on a whole different level, the crowd that night was insane, truly one of the greatest moments of my life. I suggest turning it up loud for the full effect)

If you don't have these shows i think you can check them out at http://www.pearljambootlegs.org/modules/jinzora2/

    I had never heard that version before, i think it's even better than Jones Beach, you can really hear the Emotion in Ed's voice as he's asking the crowd to sing along. Thanks for sharing.

    I thought that MSG 1 2003 when they did Low Light, Faithfull, and then Wishlist was pretty cool. But maybe because I was there for it and when I listen to the playback, the concert, that summer, and things that were going on remind of that time. They also did Gimmie Some Truth which was awesome at that show and fitting for NY.

    Now that's what i'm talking about, that will keep me busy for awhile. I already agree with Parting Ways from Lubbock, easily my favorite version i've ever heard and probably one of the greatest live moments in PJ history.

    Betterman - Mansfield, MA 6/28/08

    Anyone who was there will know exactly what i am talking about. Eddie had paused between verses like he usually does during the song and the crowd started cheering...and kept cheering..and kept cheering..and got louder and louder and for over a minute wouldn't stop cheering there asses off. It was like Boston was showing their appreciation for 18 years of great music, all wrapped up in about a minutes time. I get goosebumps just thinking about that moment. By far my favorite moment of any show I have been to..

    I would have to say Betterman/Save It For Later from the Masfield 2 Show in '08! I was there... Thousands of people banging on their chairs and stomping... it was an AMAZING sight to witness live! That magic is also recreated/preserved forever on the bootleg! I think it even blew the band away! That how good it was! I would love to see your list complied at the end! Keep this thread up! i'll bump when I can!

    There are a few versions of black which are just pure beauty. The ending improv eddie does i think in marseille 06 and one of the sydney shows in 06, maybe even onef one of the spanish shows but the aus and france show i mentioned just have really sad and powerful improv at the end.

    The Washington DC show from June 2008 is great all the way through. Black is just one of the highlights.

    Great thread!

    I was there too and its rarely mentioned that this ovation was shortly after Ed had a "DIVA" moment and smashed his airconditioning fan down on the stage during "Black" after his roadie failed to fix it...
    you can even hear in the 6/28/08 boot where he stops singing the song trying to get the roadie's attention..

    In my mind , our ovation was kinda our "Its OK Ed!.... we still love you!"..

    i wasn't there but the re-birth of "breath" at MSG 2 (9/11/98) after the sign campaign has to be on this list...

    Ed's "how's that?" comment after the opening verse is pure goosebumps!

    I think i would agree that Black might have the most incredible versions of any PJ song.
    Any performance of Black from the Italian shows in 2006 are definitely of the highest quality, with Torino being my favorite followed closely by Milan.
