Best Bootlegs to Download?

nowinvisibly

In redeeming my fan club t-shirt for the year, I noticed I have eight bootleg download coupons that I haven't redeemed yet. 
 
I haven't had the good fortune to go see Pearl Jam live since 2006, so I don't know what bootlegs are worth picking up or not. But, if anyone has the answer to this dilemma, it's you all!

What are your top 8 bootlegs and why? Thanks in advance \m/\m/

So my recommendation would be rather than the myriad of responses that are going to say you have to get Moline or X or Y or Z, use this strategy.

Get the shows you have attended.

Then get the Vaults.

Then look at the Fall 2013, Euro 2014 and Fall 2014 shows.  And see what speaks to you.

Praha 00
Atlanta 03
West Palm 03
Calgary 05
Sydney 3 06 

Just a good mix of some of my favorite boots from a variety of years. 

Also my old blog has a lot of in depth PJ bootleg reviews!

I already do have the shows I've attended. I was confused by what the "vaults" were until I went to the store...LOL...I'll check those out!

2006 bootlegs have been shared for free online ever since that Basecamp site closed down about 12 years ago. Really, no need to buy them.

Yeah. I'm just technologically challenged. If it requires more than pushing 1 button per track and it puts it right in my google play music by album I probably cant do it. Free sharing sites seem incredibly hard to deal with to get it to play. I gave up on free music years ago

I like this strategy and I employ it as well. Except the part about the 2013-2014 shows. Why do you think those merit special attention vs other tours?

2013-2016 is an epic run

Torrent sites, direct downloads, etc etc... I know they were all up on Zomb at some point, for example. If I could, I'd upload them all on Mega for people to download, but my up speed sucks and the whole tour is more than 60Gb in size. If you were anywhere in Europe, we could do a hard drive B+P.. if you're in the US, maybe you can find someone from the States available..

I just think there is a wider variety in the setlists and some better playing on that tour of the more recent years.  I kinda assume that most everyone has every show from 2006 prior (with maybe the exception of the lossless 2005 tour which kind of just was dumped to Nugs without much fanfare vs the inferior mp3s released back in 2005).

I have a ton of shows from 2006, missing just a couple from Aussie I think.  I can get many of them to you, some I would have to convert from disc to wav to flac but I have a few dozen already in that state.
