Hey :)
I'm sorry if there has been another topic that already has this, I've searched the porch for what I'm looking for but i can't find it, so I was wondering if you could help.
I'm a completely newbie to PJ Bootlegs. When I first started listening to PJ, I just listened to the studio albums. I knew about the live albums and bootlegs, but I didn't really bother with them. I wasn't aware of the awesomeness of PJ Live...blah blah blah, basically, to cut a long story short, I love the bootlegs :D I can't get enough of the Live shows.
BUT. my iPod space/computer space/freetime/laziness means that I don't want ALL the bootlegs that exist in the world. I just want a selection. A really good selection that is. :) I know there are some amazing essential shows for any PJ bootleg fan and I really want to have/know which ones.
I'm thinking up to 10 shows for each year, if it's possible.
If you guys could recommend a few of the MUST HAVE shows from each year that would be great :)
As well as having the essential shows, having a handpicked selection (chosen by fellow fans) is my goal. I love rare songs, covers etc.
Any shows that YOU personally love and think that are essential to a collection, just post them.
Amazing setlists/Unique versions of songs/great energy
I hope it isnt too much to ask, a couple of shows would do. like ...
1992- rotterdam, den haag, unplugged
1994- atlanta, boston
1998-msg
etc.etc.
i know some of you are experts at this so I'll leave you guys to it :)
pearljambootlegs.org is the only website i've used so far.
also i prefer mp3 because I don't know how to convert FLAC to mp3, incase that affects anything
I know that later shows/years where pj has released official bootlegs will have to be bought, so I'm saving for those ones too :)

Thanks so much
ps: again, im sorry if there is already another topic about this,
pps: I'm sorry that it's such a long post as well, I'm a rambler :)

    You can get a good start right here in the "GOODS" section!!!
    I would start with 2 GREAT BARGAINS...
    The Gorge & Philadelphia Box Sets!!!
    For $35.00 you get 3 AMAZING shows at The Gorge.
    and the PHILLY BOX SET is the historic last 4 shows at the Spectrum.
    It's a GOOD DEAL, considering you get 4 show for only $60.00.
    If you order before midnight tonight, you'll also get 20% off if you use the spectrum coupon!!
    Enjoy :ugeek:

    I heard 11/3/96 Berlin on Sirus PJ radio a few weeks ago and have been meaning to look for the download it and it sounded like sound board quality which appears to be a good thing for pre 2000 shows, but I am a nivice with the bootlegs. Though Sirius PJ radio helps alot.

    The Gorge box was the thing that really got me into PJ boots and just recently i've discovered 2 great shows, Santa Barbara and Pistoia both from 2006. The latter one is also heavily featured in Immagine In Cornice.

    Another good source for downloads is the Present Tense site, lots of great stuff there and there are FLACs and MP3s of most shows.

    Also got to recommend all of the Bridge School recordings.

    You can't convert FLACs directly to MP3 as FLACs are compressed WAVE files. You need to download some software to decompress them:

    http://flac.sourceforge.net/

    This programme will convert FLAC to WAVE.
