HEY MICHAELJAM! Requesting You Make a Super 2006 Best of the Bootlegs - All Legs

Danan

To save time, you could just choose out of the four compilations you have already made for each leg.

Come on! I wanna see it! You are obviously the chosen one for this task. No one else has been able to put as much resources and time into this kind of venture. Pearl Jam fans around the world are relying on you!

Please?

Danan

Bump.

I'm serious bout this one. This thread isn't going to disappear anytime soon.

I dare you.

Thanks for the bump support. I'm sure he will come back to the pit and see this thread eventually...

Hello Everybody

Here is today's bump....

BUMP.... Just thought i would lend my hand! I've been thinking of doing this too though... but i need a few more boots first

danleri

Bump!

Danan

Hey wazzup? I reckon we should try to make this the most bumped thread ever! Or at least the thread with the highest proportion of bumps...

BUMPS AWAAAAAAAY!

I know someone else is doing this already. You can find an info about it on Red Mosquito board.

Ah, but that would be too easy. I generally find it very hard to do things the easy way.

And plus, when he finally sees all of the love from us for his work in this thread, his selections will be much more inspired...

Wow, a whole thread just for me - I'm honoured :-)

I plan on uploading both of my 2005 comps to Youkan very shortly - the NA one next week, most likely.

After that, I will upload each of my 4 2006 comps also.

I'm busy working on the 2nd & 3rd leg 2003 comps at the moment, so unlikely I'll be working on any 2006 stuff again for quite a while.

My buddy lowlight79 over at the Red Mosquito is close to completing that sort of project at the moment.

I figure that between us, we'll have it all covered.

If you'd like to know the best versions of any particular song from 2006, please feel free to ask away.

Danan

Thanks for replying, and for your endless hours of research.
Just wondering, did you do your listening on headphones or external speakers?

Looks like lowlight79 is doing a very comprehensive best of. I imagine it's going to be close to the size of your entire 2006 best of collection. I guess I was envisioning more of a 2006 "All Stars" comp.

I think what I may do is take your picks and pose the chosen versions from each leg against eachother in a knockout showdown. You of course can be the judge.

On a side note, from the 2006 Aussie comp, is the improv from Adelaide II the thing just before small town?

michaeljam

I listen to the shows mostly in my car actually. I travel around a lot with my job, which is fortunate in this instance as I'd struggle to plough through all the shows if I listened just at home.

I'm pig-headed enough to think that the versions I've picked from each leg are unquestionably the best, but I do appreciate that different people are going to be looking for different things in their favorite versions. For example, I'm not keen on 10+ minute versions of Porch, RVM etc.

Honestly, can't recall off the top of my head which part of the show that improv comes from - if it sounds a bit like the intro to RVM, that'll be the one ;-)

I can do a 2006 best-of. In fact I was thinking about it. Do you guys have any suggestions? I don't wanna listen to 75 versions of "Even Flow".

Might be easier if you PM me your address, and I can either tell you what all the best versions are... or just send all my comps to you on data discs :-)
