    Yeah, the Osaka Porch is pretty darn good. I still think it is a bit overrated (some people think it is one of the all time bests), but it's definitely sweet.

    Great Post, I started a thread like this awhile back, but it died fairly quickly as most people on this board would rather bitch about something or request a song than actually talk about live Pearl Jam!

    I have recently completed a 7 disc live compilation from 1992-2009 and will hopefully get around to sharing it with everyone soon. Here's a few that made the cut.

    Deep - Las Vegas, NV 11-30-93
    Brain of J - St. Louis, MO 10-11-00
    In My Tree - Pittsburgh, PA 09-05-00
    Footsteps - Boston, MA 08-30-00
    Betterman - Vancouver, BC 05-30-03
    Down - Uniondale, NY 04-30-03
    Black - Torino, Italy 09-19-06
    Wishlist - Osaka, Japan 03-04-03

    hey there, i just came across this thread and was wondering if you ever did get around to making your comp available? although i am not an expert myself and am plowing my way through a lot of boots only now, it would definitely be interesting to go through your selection! so if you feel like it, let me know about it,
    thanks,

    Great list, except for Porch in my opinion. There are some really good versions of Porch since 1995, but in my mind the best evers are from 92-94.

    yeah i see what u mean with the Porch argument.

    put it this way if you want a short and to the point porch with a very distinct and unique Mike solo, and BETTER style of slow build-up at the start than the current versions, then you cannot go past Melbourne III 1998.

    but if you want a longass crazy jam that melts your face and has you hanging from the rafters and diving into the crowd and coming out shirtless then take your pick from the 92-94 era. that bit where Dave goes nuts and they really drive it home in Atlanta 94 Porch never fails to give me shivers. Also worthy mention for Melbourne 95 Porch (& also Randalls Island? from 95?). damn they have been lucky in Melbourne for good shows

    Yeah that Melbourne 3/17/95 version of Porch is nice and melodic. Good stuff. I remember playing it for a couple of Phish/Deadheads years ago and they were impressed that PJ played that style of music...they had no idea.

    The Randall's Island Porch, with the great Ed speech, is 9/29/96

    And yes, you have to love Atl 94 Porch (both nights actually). Easily in my top 3 Porch versions.
