    (Coming from a man who knows his bootlegs) 1998-03-05 Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia

    It's probably one of the best quality bootlegs the band has ever released. You can't find a better sound.

    set: Release, Brain of J, Animal, Faithfull, In My Tree, I Got Shit, Corduroy, Wishlist, Even Flow, Spin the Black Circle, Daughter/(Pebbles), Given to Fly, Hail Hail, MFC, (Crazy Mary!)/, Elderly Woman, Off He Goes, State of Love and Trust, Do the Evolution, Alive
    enc 1: Go, Black, Rearviewmirror, Immortality
    enc 2: Indifference, Porch
    notes: The show was broadcast on the radio throughout Australia, and on the internet in real time on JJJ. As is typically the case, the shows get better on second or third nights, and PJ’s third show in Melbourne is tremendous. Ed slips in a tribute to the late Michael Hutchence (of INXS) during ‘In My Tree’ (”I’m so high I hold just one breath, give it to INXS, just like my innocence”). Some guitar chords from Midnight Oil’s ‘Beds are Burning’ lead to a wonderful version of ‘Corduroy,’ which includes the little stop/start thing during the bridge towards the end. Ed’s wonderful baritone comes through on ‘Wishlist’ and the “Camaro” line is changed to “I wish I was the full moon shining off your bulldozer’s hood,” plus “I wish I was the sound, of 50 million hands upraised for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan,” and “I wish I was lucky man … well I guess that I am … I wish I could share with my friends, oh how many things that I have.” ‘Even Flow’ again awesome, featuring really extended soloing from Mike; very prolific and a manic version of ‘StBC’ (dedicated to “… all those who work at Triple J and the guys who work at PBS”). The ‘Daughter’ outtro/improv (”poor little girl screaming traffic in her hair …”) is a Shudder to Think song titled ‘Pebbles.’ A couple of verses from ‘Crazy Mary’ lead to ‘Elderly Woman.’ ‘Porch’ leads off as the slower version (like Bridge ‘96), but later speeds into the more familiar, rocked out version.

    I remember listening to it on the Radio that night...still have it on Cassette Tape ;) hehe...

    agree with all who have said Melbourne III, 1998. FANTASTIC RECORDING. i also have that on tape :)

    also agree with comment - best immortality ever - what a finish. there is a special feel in this show.

    this bootleg is without doubt my favorite closing to any bootleg i have.

    GO - BLACK - RVM - IMMORTALITY - INDIFFERENCE - PORCH.

    porch is also one of my fave versions - slow start better build up than the current way they do it, and a truly unique solo from mike. a shortish version but the energy is awesome.

    other notes - Release gets a huge reaction from the crowd. Hail, Hail is dedicated to Luc Longley (all hail the lucky ones, the ones who are tall) Ed - "i dont know if you can see it, well i know u fuckers on radio cant see it so fuck you. but for the people in the building, these are luc longley shoes", Ed sails across the stage at encore 2 with an aussie flag around him like a cape - "thats how you make us feel"

    This show also has my fave mid-first set trio of songs - FAITHFUL, IN MY TREE, I GOT SHIT. this bootleg made me fall in love those 3 songs.

    My first PJ show was the Yield tour. Whenever they played in Camden, NJ during the summer, forget the exact date at the moment.

    Aug 29, 1998 I believe they also played on the 28th there as well. Both real good shows.

    The 28th had a killer setlist and I can't remember if I was at it. 25 and mushrooms, it is what it is...

    The 29th I remember quite clearly because I had been hit by a car just a few weeks earlier while working (highway construction) and it was only the 2nd time they played last kiss.

    Ahh, memories; the ones that are left are all fun and games until Alzheimers makes them inappropriate.
    '

    Well found my ticket stub, i was at the one on the 28th. And judging from the set list you were right that did have a killer set list. Unfortunately I don't remember too much from the show (wasn't drunk or anything, just too long ago and my memory sucks) :oops:

    Hell yeah! :evil:

    Was Jack Irons on the tour at all?

    I know Matt was credited for Live On Two Legs but did he do all the shows?

    Hartford '96, '06 and '08 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hartford '98.

    36 shows, and I can say w/o a doubt it is at the botom of the list. It was good, but not great.

    That's probably the single best moment in Pearl Jam's history, I'd agree.

    I'm pretty sure Jack Irons did the first few shows of the tour.

    I've always liked both shows at The Forum, Inglewood.

    Good quality sounding boots as well. One of the best versions of Baba (Night 1) I've heard!

    I don't think he did. he made Yield and said no to a tour. Matt stepped in. But I could have it wrong.

    Don't know about the other shows, but Va Beach 98 was awesome. My 1st. They played sonic reducer and leatherman. I was over the moon.
    9/7/98, 8/3/00, 9/4/00, 4/15/03, 7/1/03, 9/28/04, 9/29/04, 5/24/06, 5/25/06, 6/17/08, 6/22/08, 6/28/08, 6/30/08, 5/17/10, 10/15/13, 10/16/13.

    Very good show for sure. I think it's a case of where people rave about it because of the quality of the bootleg. I think the show is a top 5-6 from the '98 tour, but I wouldn't call it far and away the best.

    However: best Immortality ever.

    Is that the show where Ed says "HOW YOU BE, YOU PEOPLE OF THE SEA!" Love that one.
    Good evening...

    Jack did play in Hartford for the No Code tour, happily I was there. This show was better than the Yield show.
