No problemo!

Yeah I just read on pjcollectors that it was an unauthorized production & Sony pulled it. I always thought it was an official Sony/Epic release and just mysteriously pulled.

And ditto on the "thanks" for the link! Just listened to it; great performance!

I don t think best buy ever approved it with the band. They pulled it literally at the last second. I was freaking pissed. They offered a free cd..... I got one of the use your illusions.

But thats whats confusing to me....how was it even produced if the band or the label werent involved?

Pure illusion…

Did I sell you that? Can't for the life of me remember who off here I sold it to

What was the date of this show, I heard Eddie saying this is going out on the radio, was it the 1998 Melbourne show?

It is. I grab a copy of this a few months ago for $20. Well worth the money!

I thought the band had it mixed and mastered professionally? It sounds different than the SB version floating around forever.

Do you mean the SV(SpacedVest) series version? That one is actually an FM source, and obviously sounds inferior to the Give Way promo.

There is a flac rip from this pre-FM source, too (complete show): http://www.pjcollectors.com/detail.asp?id=1142
this complete version above is the original source used for the Soundboard Remaster series by JWB (has been remastered, though)
I didn't make a direct comparison between the Give Way promo cd and the pre-FM complete source, but they both sound excellent

Many of the Melbourne boots were sources from the pre-fm but I think the Give Way CD sounds superior to all of them. I always found that off as the band is the one who kiboshed the release but Best Buy must have gotten access to the soundboards for the show. How else would they have been able to release a better version.

I'd just wish all the 98 shows were available in such quality.. Ed's "growl" that year, and all the performances, were just.. neat. the shows were shorter, but is there a less than amazing 98 show? Screw the benny reissue and such, just liberate that whole tour!

I couldn't agree with you more. 98 was the best.

it's funny that we consider 27 songs a "shorter show". LOL.

At least there's a few decent boots from the '98 tour. Melbourne, Seattle II, St. Louis (I think that's the one), Mansfield, lo2l, vault #3, .... I would definitely like more. I'd love to see Missoula '98 get a soundboard release. My first real PJ show (not counting lollapalooza). I have extremely fond memories of that show. The only circulating boot is pretty rough.

Vegas '98 was kinda subpar. It was originally supposed to be at Sam Boyd Stadium, but they didn't sell enough tickets (kinda hard to believe now), so they moved it to the Thomas and Mack Center on the UNLV campus. Which was actually really fortunate, because it was one of those 115 degree days in mid-summer Las Vegas.

The show started really late for some reason. The crowd booed both Zeke and X. Pearl Jam's set was cut short because of the late start time.

All that being said, it was my first Pearl Jam show, so I had a fuckin' blast. I would love to hear a soundboard of it.

The STL 98' one is pretty fantastic. And a hometown show for me might I add! 3rd row baby! Yeah!
