Favorite live versions from bootlegs

Hello everyone! I'm new to this website. I've been a Pearl Jam fan since their first album came out in the early 90's, but it's only been in the last few months that I have become a passionate listener to their live music. I've listened to nothing but their live shows/bootlegs for the last month and I'm loving it! Anyway, I love when I come across longer versions of great songs with lots of jamming in it. I love all the different variations of "Daughter" and "Porch" etc. But I'd love some more recommendations on perhaps songs that aren't usually much different from the album version but happen to be on a particular show. One live version that stands out to you. Or even a favorite show in general, I'd be happy to learn about. For example, I'm always hoping for a longer version of "Blood" where maybe the middle part where it gets quiet right before the last chorus would go on longer, but I haven't found one yet. Not sure one exists.

    Blood, Berlin 2012 (N2, I believe) has a nice addition of "War (What Is It Good For?)" addition in the middle of the song.

    Thanks! I have noticed that Love Boat Captain has grown quite a bit over the years and so has my fondness for it. I love the new guitar "jammy' intro's to it now, instead of them just jumping right into the song like they used to.

    Agree re: Love Boat Captain.  They played the new version in St. Paul 2016.  Didn't recognize it.

    For sure. Best version IMO

    The early Europe 2000 shows have short versions of RVM without the meandering jam in the middle.  These are excellent renditions of the song.  I really like the one from San Sebastian, Spain (5/26/00).  The drumming at the end is ferocious.

    Will definitely give this a listen. I do appreciate "efficient" performances from time to time.

    Wish they would go back to the short versions of RVM and Porch from time to time. And not always as a set closer.

    This concert (7/7/06) is also noteworthy for the very rare performance of Long Road as an encore.  There is a lengthy introduction to the song in which Eddie explains how, why, and for whom it was written.  One of my favorite live Pearl Jam moments.  Long Road transitions into an equally heartfelt version of Come Back.  San Diego 2006 is a glorious show.

    One of the greatest (post-1990's) versions of Alive, too.

    The whole 1st encore is really, really good.  Great versions of all songs (Long Road, Come Back, Small Town, Crazy Mary, Crown of Thorns, and Alive) Have never been able to find a good video.
