Having now bought the digital download of Moline. I like the audience bootleg better. Yeah musically the official boot is 10x better. It actually sounds spectacular. But it completely loses the crowd's energy and presence, which was a big part of why that show rocked so much. When I listen to the audience boot, It brings me back to that night.

I agree also. The pit was going nuts when they played Who You Are and went ballistic when they played In My Tree since then we knew they were playing the whole album. It also kind of takes away from the experience when they edited out the first try of "Moline". I rather remember the whole concert experience (blemishes and all).

The blemishes are on the boot. He asks Keely to turn up the lights.

That's why I enjoy going to the shows and getting the boots, imperfections and all. Just like when Eddie forgot the first verse of around the bend.

Listening to the boot and reliving the night.

Goose bumps listening and remembering Present Tense that night. Off da fucking charts.

Got the CD last Friday and listening through for the 3rd time right now. What a great fucking night that was. The boot sounds phenomenal.

MOLINE!!!!

Downloaded the Boot last night, thanks to PJ it was a free one
Have to say, As I listened through the album I was taken right back to that place... What a magical night and while the paying of No Code was historic and great, I almost forgot about the other gems, like Gone, Bee Girl, In Hiding, and on and on.

The only minor flaw I heard on the entire Moline boot was when Eddie spoke of Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick. Was waiting for a shout-out for my hometown (Rockford), but he said Rockton (which is only 20 minutes from here, so it's an easy mistake to make:) At the show, with the crowd noise it did sound like he said Rockford!

I was in the GA pit when Ed was walking to get into the middle of the floor. He's a little dude.

My daughter is 12 and I am 44. Needless say we don't have much in common, except Pearl Jam and this show, her first. We listened to the show the other day while on a car trip and relived every moment. She wants to know when WE are going to catch another PJ show. My new concert buddy. I am a lucky man. Gettin that itch man.....need a live fix.
