2006 must-have bootlegs?

edited October 2006 in Given To Fly (live)
I just downloaded Pistoia in FLAC and I must say WOW! I was reluctant to download these because not being soundboard recordings I thought the sound quality was going to suck, but I got quite the opposite impression! the sound is so real and the mix is also deserving of kudos.
The performance is also top notch.

Which bootlegs should I go after next?
I heard San Francisco 3 and Dublin are great, but I'd like to know which are considered the top 2006 bootlegs by the community both in performance and sound quality.

Thanks in advance!

    North America:

    Grand Rapids
    CLEVELAND (the most underrated show ever)
    San Diego

    Europe:

    almost everything, but since I do have to choose:

    Pistoia
    Milano
    Zagreb
    Lisbon II
    Marseille

    I had to quote the above comments because Cleveland is the most underrated show of the whole tour. For the US (I've heard them all repeatedly) - San Fran 3, Santa Barbara, Cleveland, Camden 2, Gorge 1, Detroit, Albany, Las Vegas, Chicago 1, San Diego. Europe - there's still a handful I have not heard, but great ones include Arnhem, Milan, Torino, Pistoia, Lisbon 2, Zagreb ... Bern, Paris, and Vienna are better than advertsied ... Marseille is much weaker than advertsied (great setlist, subpar performance) ... Prague is also a bit weaker than advertised ... Dublin ok, but short ... Bologna and Verona are disappointing ... Berlin has its good and bad moments. I have not heard the rest of the European shows yet.

    If you're interested in obscure setlists that's one thing, but if you have ANY interest in the NEW album, then you MUST have TORINO ... I mean, THEY PLAY EVERY SONG OFF THE NEW ALBUM IN ORDER .. how unique is that?
    There has NEVER been a show like that, and that alone in MY opinion makes Torino an ABSOLUTE MUST ... and, what a surpise, IT KICKS ASS!!!!
    I DO agree with one other comment in this thread about Marseille ... INCREDIBLE setlist, subpar performance, and I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT ABOUT ANOTHER PEARL JAM SHOW ... it is a FINE show, but not as PERFECT as others seem to be... GET TORINO!
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    Lisbon II, Milan and Vienna are top notch. Great crowds and band is on fire! Pistoia is amazing too.

    All of the Italy shows are great boots.
    Marselle.
    SF 2 is my favorite, but SF 3 is also very good.
    Boston 2.
    Gorge 1.
    Both Lisbon shows.
    Bern was very very good.
    Jersey 2 was incredible.
    Obviously San Diego.

    It's kinda hard to go wrong.

    Both Boston shows.

    Boston I is entirely underrated because its a little shorter and Leash was dropped the next night and Parachutes was performed for the first time.

    Antwerp was the first gig ever of PJ in Belgium, so if you are a collector of special bootlegs : this is a must have.

    Anyhow, I liked my first PJ-gig very much and the bootleg brings back the great time we had in Antwerp.

    The performance is also top notch.

    I just thought I'd quickly correct you on that: they're MULTI-TRACK recordings sourced from the mic's on stage, which is 1000x times better than a straight soundboard recording.

    A soundboard recording would mean that the mix being fed through the PA on the night would be what is recorded. Sometimes this isn't for the best, they can sound thin and unevenly mixed when listened to outside of the situation of a live performance. For example, if the guitar amps themselves were very loud in the arena then the mixer will turn them down in the mix being fed through the PA as they are loud enough already.

    A multitrack recording means that each individual mic from the stage is later mixed specifically for release as a bootleg by Brett Eliason, the band's live sound engineer, eg: a separate recording is made of Mike's guitar amps, Stone's guitar amps, Ed's vocal mic, Matt's kick drum and so on. This means a completely new mix is created for the bootleg release so that every instrument and vocal can be evenly balanced.

    I was just thinking the same thing. Those girls will be legendary for screwing up a great bootleg. I emailed basecamp about a possible remixing but they didn't respond.

    If you one of the other threads on here, I HATE the Athens girls - they ruin the boot. However......the band is on fire, it's a fuckin' great gig. So, definitely worth a listen. One of the best of '06.
