    I would say the Soldier Field show is more rare, but it doesn't sell for as much and Benny for some reason.

    I've been after that record for years, every time I see come up on Ebay I never seem to have the money to spare to bid on it, maybe one day.. but I understand your frustration, that's the only record I'm missing.

    Good thing about eBay is that there will always be another one...I also want the Soldier Field, so we'll all have to fight for it, hahaha.

    I actually purchased the Soldier Field vinyl about 10 years ago or longer. Both the guy in the shop and myself both thought it was an actual, unofficial bootleg. (This is back in the pre download/CDR days, so maybe it was longer than 10 years ago, even.)

    It is soundboard, but the show isn't complete. It's a double gatefold 12" on marble-streaked vinyl. The sleeve opens out to show a black and white photo of a setlist.

    I remember when I first got it being disappointed it didn't have the complete show, but I bought it anyway, because I used to buy bootleg vinyl and silver CD's back then (I had to-there was no other way to access unreleased live recordings.)

    That is the exact reason I have no desire to own it. I can't justify paying $200+ dollars for a vinyl that isn't a complete show. I have the complete show on my Ipod. It's great and I wouldn't want to listen to a chopped up show IMO.

    I'm still looking for both Benny Hall and Soldier Field on vinyl...problem is...they are both too expensive! Maybe someday when I have extra $$$ to blow...

    Don't take this as an insult mate, because it's not, but you're missing the point here: people like myself and, say, Demetrios (sorry to put you in here without permission, D!) as well as being collectors of music, are collectors of Pearl Jam artefacts. The Soldier Field vinyl, for me, nowadays, isn't for listening; it's more about just having the artefact, yanno? Another example: I have the old PJ promo doormat from 1991. I can't listen to it; it's just about having the artefact.

    No offense taken. I am a PJ collector as well. I have all the vinyl records except the Soldier Field vinyl. I listen and enjoy my vinyl while keeping it in as mint condition as possible. I don't begrudge anyone for keeping their vinyl sealed. But for me, especially in these times, can't consider owning this item when it's not a complete show, more of a compilation. If I did buy this, it would be for listening. But that's me, I can understand your collecting records for artifacts, and I can respect that.

    Sound Quality is so so... I have the official 1057thepoint vintage vinyl soldier field vinyl and cd. Their were 400 of each burned and pressed.

    I got my vinyl for $125 sealed here in St. Louis last February (2008). I ripped it open and played it immediately. How do you even know there is a vinyl in there unless you listen to it? Plus the poster rocks that comes with it.

    I got my cd back in 2000 when a vintage vinyl employee broke a window when we were playing wiffle ball in the store after hours. I also got the double sided live on 2 legs poster that night.

    I had been wanting the vinyl for years... I got mine off of craigslist.
  • randallanddarcyrandallanddarcy Posts: 813
    If you can't tell if there's a record in an unopened sleeve, you don't know shit about LP's.
    BTW, my Soldier Field LP is opened, and played maybe once.
    My Pearl Jam shows: 1 in 1995, 2 in 1998, 20 in 2003, 13 in 2006, 3 in 2007, 8 in 2008, 5 in 2009, 4 in 2010, 5 in 2012. EV: 8 in 2011, 1 in 2012. Brad: 1 in 1998, 1 in 2002.

    i guess i should of said... how would you know if the correct vinyl is in there.

    I purchased an un-opened copy of bob dylan's greatest hits II. Damn thing hadn't been opened in 30+ years and had 2 of the first LP's in it instead of one of each. I also had an un-opened copy of Neil Young's "Comes the Time" The record had been in the family since its release and just never opened bc there was a duplicate. I gave away the duplicate and opened it to find a cracked LP.

    The soldier field vinyl needs to be opened at least to free the poster inside. It's on very thin paper and eventually time will cause that crease to tear and come apart.

    If anyone is interested, someone listed the Soldier Field vinyl on the bay. It's up to about $272 right now. Good luck to those willing to drop the cash.
