    Remember the thrill of coming across the Dissident single back in the 90's'? These days we're all spoiled to have hundreds of official bootlegs, dozens of top-quality soundboards (including this show), and even an entire Pearl Jam radio station. But back in say 1996? To find this single, with SEVEN LIVE PEARL JAM SONGS ON IT, was as good as it gets. A LIVE VERSION OF EVEN FLOW ON CD?!?!?!

    Now, if you went my desktop computer and searched for "Even Flow," there'd be like 600 matches. 

    Yah, I encountered the cardboard one, that had room for 2 more discs, and i'm like where are the other two discs and I couldn't find them anywhere.   This was in the very early day of the interent when I discovered it (so a few years after it came out) and found cdnow which used to sell cd's over Telnet (before the world wide web got better), and managed to do my first internet ordering from them.

    Was so stoked to get discs 2 and 3, and spin the crap out of them.

    My first time seeing PJ was only a few days after this Atlanta show, 4/6/94 in Springfield MA. The energy was insane. It’s why I got hooked.

    About a week later there was a 10C only show at the Paramount Theatre under MSG in NYC.  I wasn’t in 10C yet but I won tix by calling in 📞 to Z100 Radio. Later that month they sent me the 4/3 Atlanta bootleg in the mail, on CD. 2 discs - I was so psyched, the recording sounded amazing. (and still does)

    Odd in that they included Yellow Ledbetter as part of the show. Otherwise, it’s definitely the Atlanta show. Loved the bonus tracks back in the day. Had never heard Bee Girl, Dock of the Bay cover, Believe You Me!

    I remember getting those boots in the mid 90s and hearing almost soundboard quality songs like Bee Girl as bonus tracks and thought I was in heaven.  I remember hearing Eddie covering the Doors for the first time and just thought holy moly this is fun.  I thought I had a different boot of Atlanta 1994 and it was called "Dissident" but just going off memory.  I'm sure imports had the same show with a different name.

    There was an official 3 cd set called “Dissident” issued by Epic. It did not cover the full show, but nearly all of it!

    I remember sitting in the garage in my mom’s 94 Camry, 9th grade, like it was yesterday .  Unbelievable, where does the time go

    I remembered Sam The Record Man releasing each CD a month apart. It was so cool. Wished Sony Music released more like this.

    It's pretty wild that they don't. After 20 years without a proper show, it has to be purposeful. I'm sure they have their reasons, I guess.

    As good a reason as any:

    Not disagreeing but they played the Midtown festival in 12 so I'd imagine he's dealt with those demons by now. Regardless, I hope they have a change of heart at some point.
