Best Bootleg Overall

I know this is a killer question - but what is the best bootleg out there ?? If you could only listen to one bootleg/show, which one would it be.

Not for sentimental or personal reasons - but purely the music/how pearl jam performed on that night.

    Soldier Field 1995 is one of my favorites

    San Diego 2006, Albany 2006 is also good. Mansfield 2003 had great set lists, but the songs were not playing to their full potential for the most part because they were in a race against time.

    No 2008 shows come close to what you are looking for- they are all solid, but none of them were great

    Badass recording and the band was on fire 1994 style! Eds voice probably peaked at this show. Amazing!

    State College 03 is probably my favorite.

    Honorable mentions:
    Atlanta 1994
    Seattle II 2000
    Albany 2006... would anyone consider this one? (edit: rock on, ThunderDAN)
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    Well, my own favorites would probably be Benaroya followed by Mansfield 03. But I definitely need to find and listen to a lot more to really make up my mind.

    not to be a homer.. but I have to put a stop to this reprise of a ludiscous and unfair comment.

    I am all about the boots, man so let's go at it..

    I challagne anyone who says the songs were "rushed" check that 7/11/03 boot again with the following tracks:
    The entire accoustic pre-set
    Can't Keep
    Tremor Christ
    Given to Fly
    Cropduster
    NAIS
    Faithful
    Nothingman
    Black
    Breath
    Blood

    and tell me they were no good and in a "race against time"..

    It's hard to admit, but the Philly 2003 show was supposed to be amazing and the boot is pretty awesome in it's own right. Underrated, I feel. Anyway, Phillies and Eagles still suck.

    Absolutely Atlanta 1994, it was being broadcast live across the country on the radio. I remember listening to it, I will never tire of listening to that show.

    Because they were on the radio they put a little extra into the show, also this was about 5-6 months before Vitalogy was released. Betterman was played live at this show for only the third time, Satans Bed was played live for the first time, this was the fourth time Not For You had been played live.

    Eddie does a drum solo, being introduced by Dave as "Four feet". A particulary great perfomance of Jeremy with an extended part.

    I think Ed dedicates a song to Kurt Cobain, who was recovering from an overdose in Rome.

    Really great powerful show, the best pure live Rock performance I've ever heard.

    I vote for the Anchorage Alaska boot from 1997. Tough boot to find though.
