Special Project: Black, RVM, Glorified G, Breath & All Those Yesterdays

Go Animal · July 2008

This is for the REAL hardcores. I don't wanna hear from all the fans who cite their shows as having the best versions of the songs (I would be included among them, were that the criteria)

I'm looking for people who've listened to hundreds of shows (or close to it) and I 'm looking for the best versions of these songs.... WITH THE BEST BACKGROUND VOCALS

That means pro's who know where to find:

- any version of 'Black' (sans 'Unplugged') with "we belong together..." or a similar tag

- any version of 'RVM' complete with "once you...'s" & screaming "REARVIEWMIRROR's"

- any 'Glorified G' where Stone actually, clearly sings his parts (or at least has somebody fill in for him)

- any version of 'Breath' with "nada-lada-hey's" or "if I knew where it was..." backgrounds

- and especially any versions of 'All Those Yesterdays' where at least 3 members of the band do harmonies towards the end.

Anyone up to the task?

I always find myself going back to the LOTL version of Black. Just the quality alone is unsurpassed, but the solo at the end gives me chills every time I hear it (which is a lot).

Also, and I'm not sure if he's done this before, but it's the first time I picked up on it, at Bonnaroo instead of singing "we belong together" he sings, "we didn't belong together". Pretty intense, and really changes the whole feel of the song in my opinion.

That's all I got this early in the morning.

Atlanta 1994 is still the best RVM i've ever heard.

One of the best RVMs I've ever heard was from Dublin 2000.

Black - Love the Eleanor Rigby tag at the end of St. John's night 1.

All Those Yesterdays - Either the pre-set from 7/11/03 Mansfield, or 9/10/98 MSG.

what im do its listen to the entire tour.. done everything since 00 and now listening to the 95 shows. Surely i hear countless numbers of songs but tbh no song stands out.. they are all great when they are played live and becuase ive heard so many its very hard to pick just one. Sure there are ones with better parts, and other versions where eddie sings the best bits correctly.

Sorry i cant really help, they all just song unique and brilliant to me.

as a fellow bootleg "junkie" I have to ask you to qualify your criteria..

there are many "best performances" caught on bootlegs with fair or substandard sound quality...

are you looking for the performance or the best sound quality or are you asking for both...

if so, which should have more emphasis?

94 Atlanta Black is amazing as well.

I second the 94 RVM love.

Damn.....that show was awesome! and I was not even there ha ha

Or a version of Low Light where jeff actually sings in key.

sometimes I cringe · July 2008

quite a few good 'we belong together' tags from 06
but, Pittsburgh 06 is a REALLY good one...
definitely one of my favs

I would second burgandy75 with ATY from 7-11-03 preset. It's a beautiful version.

Brisk. · July 2008

Lol i want to find the best we belong together version too, but for the past 1-2 hours ive been listening for 08 ones and there is usually too much singing in the song or eddie cant sing the long bits.. same for 06 and 05 quality is a bit crappy, thats if a i find one. Just sending to a friend you see who doesn't listen to pearl jam but knows of them. Atlanta 94 is AUD recording and :(

Search still goes on for the best "we belong together tag"!

Brisk. · July 2008

bump.

Any black suggestions?

I think hartford 06 is winning atm. But ive heard like more wilder and passioantie "we belong together" tags so im trying to find it.

Brisk. · July 2008

okay the best version of black could be any of the following

sydney1 06 - 2 tags, pretty nice, eddie nails all the tricky long bits, however not much DO DO DO DO DO if any.
Marseille 06 - loads of clapping at the end / changes to we don't belong together.
Madrid 06 - best tag but eddie doesn't sing the long bits, which imo are some of the best bits in the song - crowd sings. Which is real shame becuase if he sang them would have won by a mile.
Lisbon 06 - major crowd interaction - think this is my winner.

I only really went from 2008-2006, but thats when i think the song sounds best. Plus i dont think they did the tag much in 2005. Cant really pick between the tbh.
