    Ohmygawd, ohmygawd, ohmygawd! Philly '05, and not just because I was there. Just listening to the bootlegs I would say it's on par with LEEDS and Lisbon #2 '06. I was there so I know it was a FUN show. :)

    There's been a couple times that the encores are so energetic that I tend to consider that part of the concert almost separate (not just time wise) from the rest of the concert. It's like a new concert. In San Diego 06, and now Gorge #1, 06 the encores are where I consider the concert starts. I try to find something different during the main parts of the concerts to comment on, and I can find something, but with these two bootlegs it's the energy of the encores that differentiates them from other bootlegs.

    I haven't noticed it much in the other bootlegs.

    Ohmygawd! I got the year wrong! I was thinking Why would someone think Columbus 2003 is good *blush* Well, Columbus 2003 was not good, but now I have something to look forward to :)

    I'm listening to it, now. What a welcome change after Columbus 2003. I love the bit before Throw Your Arms Around Me. Isn't that dreamy!

    My understanding is that the quality of the bootlegs from 2000 through 2006 should be greater than other years because those are the ones that were released by Pearl Jam. That is why I focused on 2000 through 2006 bootlegs to start my bootleg adventure.

    Do you find the quality of bootlegs of other years, which can be downloaded from the bootleg threads, to be of equal or at least better than good quality?

    Because of your suggestion I'm downloading Pistoia, and totally blown away by Porch. Holy Cow! Thanks for the heads up!

    It really WAS an AMAZING gig!!!! The most mind blowing nights of my life!!!!

    So yeah, I strongly recommend the Perth '06 boot

    and

    Newcastle '06 - the set list for Newcastle was entirely written by one of Eddies best friends (an Aussie - Mark Richards) and it was awesome!! This was a fantastic gig that only eventuated because 3 determined guys did a petition for Pearl Jam to play in Newcastle. It was a really different concert, in that it seemed very personal/intimate.....like a bunch of mates all just hanging out together :)

    Calgary 2005 is an under-rated show from the Canadian tour IMHO.

    Seattle 2000. 2nd shoe. Number 72 on the list.

    My favorite boot of all. If you want, I will burn it for you, M.

    Just send me a PM.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    yeah, the radio broadcasts and soundboard copies are excellent.
