Highest Quailty Audience Recordings

Ledbetterman10 · September 2010

I have all the soundboards and radio broadcasts from the 90's but am looking to expand my audience recording collection. What 1993-1998 recordings would you recommend?

Newch91 · September 2010

I was shocked when I found this out but Hartford 96 is 100% audience recording. I always thought it was soundboard. So that's a great boot for you to get.

Boston 98 is pretty good for an audience boot.

That one is a mix of an audience source and an ALD, which is a soundboard but usually mono and not of great fidelity. The ALD/AUD mixes of the LA shows and St Louis 1998 are really great, definitely worth tracking down too. Great shows, all of 'em.

I think the band's best years (in terms of live performance and studio material) weren't covered by the official boots for the most part (1993 to 2000), so audience recordings make up a lot of my favourite shows to listen to. Here's some suggestions that are all worth hearing:

My first show too, and I have 2 versions of the bootleg...including the one you mentioned. I think it's an AUD though.

Have to agree with both of you. That version is definitely the best.

When I first got plugged into the matrix back in '99 (the internet) this site was my first favorite page, along with allthoseyesterdays.net for all my Pearl Jam audio & info, along with fivehorizons.com .

There's been a few new added soundboard recordings that have surfaced these past year's that are not posted on that page.

Don't forget http://www.presenttense.com

I remember constantly downloading live shows from this site.....track by track....on my dial up connection. It would take about an hour to download one show. Now....in the time it took me to read your post, quote it, and begin responding, I have started and finished downloading an entire show while last night's episode of The Office streams in the right hand corner of the screen.

I remembered that place too. Wasn't it presenttense.net? The site would be so packed that the best time to download from their site was like after 6pm or the weekends. There was also another page, well a site where this fan uploaded all his '00 shn files to a server. It was all Bruce Springsteen & Pearl Jam shn's & vcd's. I think it was from the UK. Before torrents & FTp's from TVM, his site was the site to download all Pearl Jam.

I think you're right...it was .net

There is another thread here that was posted by crazybreed with a similar discussion.
Being a super nerd pj boot collector, I have to point out that many of those 1995 and 1998 shows listed in that long post are not audience sourced. They are either mono fm / ALD or a matrix of both. The Aussie shows are fm broadcast.

If you want so to check out some mind blowing audience boots, check out any thread by crazybreed he knows his stuff!

Start with the two piss bottle man shows from 1995 at the shobox ( secret 10c only gigs(
