    MSG II is their best show EVER period

    It'll be a crime if this isn't the next show they release from the vault.

    i think ALL the MSG shows are HIGHLY over-rated. Most people seem to like them so much cos its like their hometown show or one of the only ones they have seen. but listening to the complete sets of shows from at least 00 and 03...i would have to say that msg shows/nyc shows do not even make my top top. so i still think you are all on crack or just really biased! just IMO
    Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    To find an approach and a way to live
    Are we getting something out of this
    all-encompassing trip?

    Funny, cause I wasn't at that show and it's not my hometown either. (and i'm not on crack :P)
    MSG 1&2 2003
    Boston 3 2003
    Milan 2006

  • Melbourne 1998-03-05 (the melb show that opens with release) is hands down the best PJ recording i've heard from any period. Really pissed that i wasn't there!

    Some versions feature a chat with eddie after the set.

    melbourneIII 1998 is one of the best shows ive ever heard...

    the versions or porch, indifference, faithful and immortality are all in my top 3 version of those songs - one of those shows with magic in the air
    Yeah they simulcast that on the radio that night...I still have it on Cassette Tape:) People say they get better and better there is some truth to that although Pearl Jam have always been 'better' in my book haha but 1998 was a good tour i saw them here in Perth that year and I have to admit the setlist, the music of that night hard to beat...

    Yeah I was listening to some of my boots of previous Australian Tours.

    I have a 1995, 1998, two 2003s, and was just comparing them to the 2006 series.

    In my opinion the band are at the best they have been this tour.

    2003 sounded a little rough. 98 and 95 were pretty good with 98 having a slight edge.
