CantKeepmedown

absolutely a great show......

but I put Soldier Field 95 just a notch above it

I still have what I taped off the radio. Wasn't able to get to get the whole thing. I remember listening to what was then referred to as "Already in Love" over and over again.

I know Soldier Field is looked upon by almost everyone as the best show of the 95-96 tour era - but you NEED to hear Melbourne II '95. It is on pjlive.com and it's just fucking mindblowing - every member is on top form, vocals are perfect, awesome quality, some amazing improvisation on some songs, it is like every member has a telepathic thing going on with the others. And not just that - if you listen really closely, whenever a member makes a tiny mistake, for example ed finishes a chorus early in Even Flow i think, and Jack just does this amazing fill - if you didn't know better you would think it was intentional. Go listen to this boot. NOW!

bt.etree.org often has it listed for download.

Great night! I remember sitting next to the cassette deck on the stereo and capturing the whole thing on tape. That may be one of the reasons Pearl Jam fans regard this show so highly--many of us were able to experience it in real time.

Thanks, PJ.

Melbourne 3/17/95 may be my favorite bootleg of a show I didn't go to. Sick SICK show. Best RITFW ever.

I too remember staying glued to the radio for the duration of the '94 Atlanta show as I taped it, pausing for commercial breaks. I tried like hell to get tickets to that concert (I live in the Atlanta area) but I remember that I couldn't even get through to Ticketmaster's 800#.

Anyway, I don't believe that I have my cassette copies of this anymore. A couple of years ago, someone sent me the show on CD. I was listening to it this morning and it's still an amazing show. But the sound quality is nowhere near as good as my original 1st generation cassettes were. So my question is - do any of you have a 1st generation copy of it that you can upload? At the very least, I'm hoping that there is a better version in circulation than the one I have. The one I've got isn't terrible, but this is one of my favorite live recordings ever, so it would be great to find the best sounding version possible. Thanks in advance for any help.

I found this link from the archives for these boards. I have a subscription to Rapidshare and not for Megaupload, but I think I'll be able to download this one anyway - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9BZ8PF4A - which was originally posted here - http://forums.pearljam.com/archive/index.php/t-176290.html
Well, I can't download it right now via Megaupload because the Download Limit has been exceeded since I'm on a shared IP address at work. I'll try again when I get home tonight.

In any case, I'd still like to know if there are different versions of the '94 Atlanta boot out there and which one sounds the best. Anyone know?

I found an awesome double CD ( by Kiss The Stone records) back in ´97 when i was travelling around Brazil. It has pretty cool pictures of the band (one has them, walking across a bridge wich is one of my favorite pics of the band) and has a perfect sound quality. It was my first PJ boot and I am still surprised on how good this show was. One of my top 5s by far.

One of the best versions of Porch, Rats, Black, Solat.

Atlanta "The Day Before" is also a good bootleg, not as good as this one, tough.

Awesome. Are you're willing to share any of this by uploading it?

I had that same cd. I think it was a pink cover of the band.
As I was broke (and foolish), I recorded the cd on to a tape and brought the cd back to the shop so I could get my money back.
I'm still kicking myself!!

Oh..... you're a fool!!

the Atlanta bootleg was my first pearl jam bootleg, cost me $90NZD back in the day, money well spent considering the amount or times i played it

Man, I wish I still had that cd.


I do have the 2 dissident singles that has Release, RVM, Even Flow, Why Go, Dissident and Deep from that show.

They sound great.

I´m with you, that cd is now priceless for me... when i broke up with my ex, i ask her to give me all of my cds back.. and i dont regret at all !
Maybe she kept one or two, but nothing important.

Still have the tapes, but I downloaded it not too long ago and was pleasently surprised to hear a few songs that didnt make it on the radio.

I always loved the dedication to Kurt just before "Go"

Yeah it was nice of Ed to do that since all the crap they went through.

Where can I find this boot ?

This was the date they played betterman for the first time live! This was my first concert ever I sat 8th row and watched eddie swing from the rafters in wings and a bengals helmet. it is the reason I am the PJ fan I am today!!!!!!!!

I hope it was the Bengals helmet that drew you in and not the notion that this was the first time that Betterman was played. I'm pretty sure that happened at the Slim's Club show in '93. A great show for those that have never heard.

I think it goes without saying that Atlanta 4-3-94 is one of the 5 must haves in anyone's live Pearl Jam collection.

Some of the others you ask?

3-17-95
7-11-95
9-29-96
9-11-98
11-6-00
7-11-03 (same date as Soldier Field)
9-1-05
11-19-06
8-2-07

Take your pick out of these, we can argue til our death about shows I didn't list. Any PJ show is special, the aforementioned shows give any newbie a great foundation from which to build their live collection from
