What's the best 2009 boot?

Ledbetterman10

The only shows I attended in '09 were the four Philly shows and I've been holding out for them. But since they're not gonna come, I was wondering what the opinions are on the rest of the shows because I want to buy 1 or 2.

My picks are LA 4 or SLC. I have all the boots except for 2 of the Aussie shows.

Best setlist was NOT LA 3. Im sure about that one. People tend to think this cause of Hungerstrike. I was there and lemme tell you, LA 4 OWNED LA 3... Oh, and Hungerstrike didnt even sound very good on the boot.


Edit - Night 3 did have a rad poster though.

Both were great for sure. It is funny however, that I can just tell by looking at a setlist, its either a Euro show or a festival. But they did add some rares in there. Both were sweet. They always put on a great show at Wuhlheide.

I like SLC as well.

Also - Brisbane is worth checking out (nice cover of "If you want Blood (you got it)" followed by Blood)
And:
Chicago 8/23
Seattle 9/22
LA 4

Agree on Hunger strike - the version from Mexico City 2003 blows it away. But im sure it would have been great to see live.

It was awesome to be there for sure. The place went batshit crazy. 03' is MUCH better.

Setlist wise I'm sure you can find a cooler show(for whatever songs you prefer, or simply rarities)...but for me, the Chicago shows win out. I'd take night 2 out of song selection, but the crowd for night 1 was incredible. If you don't mind a straight up hits set, try ACL. Great band energy and a kickass "Mountain Song" cover with Perry singing lead.

I would go with LA-4 and Melbourne. I gave these 2 shows "A" ratings. In fact, ther the ONLY shows i gave a "A" rating.

I only did this for myself, but i've been snowed in, and i have nothing else to do
I gave all of the 2009 Bootlegs a ONE time listen, and i graded them(for what its worth). These grades are based on that ONE time listen, and graded SOLEY by my OWN ears

I'm the "TOUGH" teacher that you don't want , and i grade on a "HARD" curve , but this is Pearl Jam we're talking about here. Thers NO such thing as a BAD PJ concert(well, not one that i've heard/seen anyway), so a "C" grade is MOST bands "A" . So, before i get a bunch of shit , that HEY! i was at this show, and it deserves a higher grade, and you MIGHT be correct because WE all know that the shows we were at, are the BEST (and thats what makes this band the BEST). I'll take constuctive citiscim, and suggestions as to why you think a particular show DESERVES a better grade, and i MAY go back and listen, if i get enough reasons to do so. CONVINCE me MAN!!!

Again, i listened to these shows in concert order over a 3 week period, and i graded ONLY with MY EARS. Thats probably the only reason i can give for these grades, as i have no great detail as to why i gave the grades i gave

send a mail to kufala..ask them to tell u which one has the best sound..will help u..

mikepegg44

I think it all depends what you like the most

if set list is very important to you, you are the only one who can answer that question as you like the songs you like, but as far as the ones I like the most, I would go with San Diego(love listening to that one, wish I could have been there) or Adelaide. I have all the boots, you should maybe PM me

BALLBOY

I am extremley biased, LONDON for me. The sound is great but the setlist is awesome. Never thought i would Whipping, I Got Shit & Leaving Here. Will Hyde Park top this, lets hope so.
