its a pj bootleg from the 90's before they started releasing official ones in 2000. back in the 90's bootlegs were compilation of live songs that sounded the best. fans would pay big money for these bootlegs, i'm talking $60-$80 or even sometimes higher. fans would get these bootlegs through their local indie record shopt or through fan word of mouth.

$60 - $80 for double CD's. Single CD's were around $25 - $35. I've paid & traded ALOT of CD's @ the local record stores (*cough cough Taz Records) for these bootleg CD's. Pretty much ever week I would pick up a bootleg CD or 2 there. Before CDR burners we would make copies of the bootlegs onto Maxell Cassette tapes. I remember buying my first portable CD player and those fuckers would skip, even my Sony Discman ESP 2. Making copies on tapes were the best (that time) listening to them walking to & from Junior High & High School.

ah, the good 'ol days. i worked at a nursery in high school during the school year & was a lifeguard in the summers. i think about 90% of my paychecks went to concerts & Pearl Jam bootlegs.

Didn't get to see much concerts here. The live music scene was pretty dead here. I pretty much spend my lunch / work money on records & bootlegs.

I had a fun time buying up Pearl Jam bootlegs. The cover artworks on them weren't the greatest but I was always excited to see what was on the track list. Songs I haven't heard before. Demo's, rarities, covers etc.. It was the day's before the internet. We didn't know what was going on. Hit Paradar & listening to Q104 every Sunday's was our source for new Pearl Jam information.

I think this one was the last proper bootlegged bootleg I ever bought - then along came bit torrent and saved us all[/quote]


Me too, I remember buying it at the record store and thinking what a score I got!

Ah the good ole days when weed was called grass...

And a bootleg was actually a bootleg..

Many a dollar spent on one of those compilations of suspect audio quality.

Yea...& grass was easy to come by & from an island somewhere (wtf was hydroponic?) & cheaper than a bootleg....speaking of, I have a Zeppelin boot cd..."Shakin All Over"...from Chicago rehearsals & Madison Square Garden '73 & '75, Triangle records, 1993...can't find any info about it...can't remember where or when I got it...uh-huh...back to first line ....anybody hear of it?

Ah the good old days,i,ve had my copy since summer 93 and it still plays good,it was so expensive but so worth it at the time...I used to trawl through record fairs praying to find these bootlegs and bought quite alot of them back in the day as it was the only way to hear the music other on the album and single releases,You kids dont realise how good you have it with all this music at our fingertips these days...(god i sound older than my 36 years this morning)
