    the one titled Against (bottom left corner) is on of the best

    Red Robin version of Soldier Fireld 95 is great

    there was a Casper WY show from 96/95 era that was real good

    Flashpoint was real good too.

    No fuckin Messiah was a badass disc for its time

    hahah flashpoint...i got that laying around somewhere, love the doors covers on it

    i still have all of my old boots..100s of them..my god how i used to spend tons of $$$ on these things...$25 for a single disc set...$50 for a double (one yr my car got broken into...person stole 14 pearl jam cd from me... i was devastated at the time because it was about $450 worth of cds)...yeup this was before the interweb days....before it was all avail for free on various wbesites...but it was so exciting finding all this new pj stuff as a kid at record stores...thank god 2000 came around when they started to official boots :)
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    I'll always remember the day I walked into a music store and they had a bunch of these boots. The kicker was that the single disc ones were 8.99 and the double discs were 16.99. Needless to say, I stocked up.

    My favorites are:
    Whipping The Dog (Secret show in SF 1993 before Vs. came out)
    Tivoli (Excellent quality show from 92)
    Five Alive (Another excellent quality show from 92)
    Rough Mixes (Ten Rough Mixes)
    Two Track Demos (Demos From the Vs. Sessions)

    No Fucking Messiah was my favorite. Awe,The kids now-a-days have no idea how it was. I actually liked going to the mom and pop music stores and looking for these CD's.

    Here is a quick article from Paste Mag. in 2009 on bootlegs

    So need to find an original Silver CD copy of No Fucking Messiah & No Fucking Messiah 2. Never seen them available @ my local record stores or in the Hit Paradar magazine ad's those day's.

    Self Pollution Radio- I actually taped the show off the radio myself...I really need to find those tapes..
    I had one from 94ish...I think it was called Rarities II...it had Beast of Burden on there which was great because right after Eddie sings "All I want is for you to make love to me", the crowd cheers and Eddie follows up with something like" No, no that's just part of the song...I don't really mean it" :lol:
    I also remember having a tape that a fellow fan made for me that had "Shower the People" on it...I should really find that tape too...because I think there was a lot of fun stuff on there :D

    How is the Dock of the Bay Cover? Many times back in the day they did not do covers like they do now. Some are short and they changed the words. Which IMO are cool for a listen, but to not put on a playlist and into a listening rotation.

    I had only one :(
    So it's got to be my favorite :D
    Surfer Eddie's sunshine state. You can definitely hear some people talking in the audience, I guess, and the sound's not so good, but that's when I got to hear for the first time what have been my two favorite songs ever since. I reckon the fact that I got it totally randomly only a couple of days after I got into PJ makes it special for me too.

    Trading @ school with friends who had bought the Silver CD bootlegs you never had (couldn't buy all of them) to only record/trade with them on cassette tapes. The day's when there weren't any CDR recorders. :(

    I had many of them but later upgraded them to CD so I just gave away those cassette tapes. But still have a few memorial goodies lying around. The Live In Berlin '96 that was on The Edge Radio & the Yield debut on Live On The Rock Report was amazing.

    Just found another cassette this morning. Another radio special aired July 25th 2004 on Q104 Halifax. Mike McCready hosts radio special 1 hour of 10/22/03 Benaroya Hall. Might already be available via flac format. But will transfer my copy next week. :)
