absolutely crazy set.  I remember seeing the set list the morning after and just thinking I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

Would you say that is one of the better 2015 boots?

I'd venture to say it is one of the better boots from the last decade.  There is some powerful playing and Eds vocals are pretty strong all night.

2.28.2003 - this run of shows in in Japan is really good and the venues lead to nice clear and full audible mix for the boots.  A big problem with the 2003 boots was the speed at which they were mixing them, they are a bit harsh, Brett did not get much time to really carefully master these and consequently they are extremely "hot" and loud.  But these shows are bit of an outlier in that regard.

Zurich 2000. Excellent so far...Killer setlist, lots of Binaural. Alive early in set is always welcomed.

About to finish Barcelona 00. Ed seemed to be in such good spirits at this gig. Fun show. Awesome takes on Daughter and Even Flow.

Binural 2000 bootlegs are so good. Ed's voice is perfect

I m going through the 2011 South American boots.  Really solid shows. Love the mix.

Relistened to Vault 8, the sonic disaster that is side A of lp1 notwithstanding, there are some good nuggets on this set.  There are better shows in the vault to be sure but there are some tidbits of magic on this set.

11.2.1995 - if you have never listened to this show (you should be ashamed) just the corduroy alone requires repeated listening.

Finished Vienna 2006 yesterday. Been a long time since I heard that one. Loved Life Wasted as the opener, the only time this has ever happened. Comatose and RVM so early in the set was badass. Usually both occur much later in sets. Great performance overall, but some obvious goofs. Lyrics to Sad were butchered in first verse. Fuckin Up is kinda disjointed towards the end. Parachutes in mid set is kinda odd and yet intriguing; mostly because it’s paired with I Got ID. The tag on Black was kinda unique too. Anyways, solid boot. Random kinda setlist flow. It’s not in my top 10 from 2006 boots but it’s a good listen.

9.14.1995 - you have to fight the sound on this aud a bit, Eds vocals and Jacks drumming are fairly upfront and Mikes guitar generally shoots upfront.  The encores are the reason to be here. So. Good.

2014-01-17 Auckland... shorter set, but really tight. Amazing versions of Go, Baba and kind of a different, interesting solo from Stone on BOJ.

Jeff Ament on the bass... It's kind of an inside thing, but I guess it's not going to be anymore... You know, we call him the Sheriff... I don't know why... I just want to say hello to George and Penny... His parents are here tonight... There're about 1001 reasons to love them, and another 1000 to like them a lot... They've been together for 52 years... That's just something you have to admire... You know Stone's parents have been together about 52 years too... Jeff and Stone have been together about 51, 48, a long time... Long relationships, you see?... When your parents have those good long relationships, they give you something to believe in... They give you something to know that you have to work hard and it will all work out... They've agreed to let me be in their group for 22 years... So, I can be doing that... There's also a guy here tonight... His name's Danny Long... I met him a couple of years ago, just out of the blue, through a baseball friend of mine... He's a guy that is the same age as my dad that I didn't get to know... My dad passed away before I got to know him... Before I even knew that I had a different dad... It's a long story... The nice thing is not only did this guy know my dad... He actually has recordings of my dad singing... So about 4-5 months ago, I got to hear my dad sing for the first time... I had to have a few beers before I hit play cause I didn't know what was going to happen... Dad was pretty good... He was great... It's great to have at least a friend of my parent here... I want to dedicate this to George and Penny, and Danny, and everybody who's got a dad... ~ Eddie - Barolo - Vedder

Boston 2 18 again. Man, Eddie sounds tipsy during the last handful of songs lol. Emotional too. Loved both gigs, but night 1 holds up better as far as boots are concerned imo.
