Unofficial Bootleg Info Search!

newwaveboy · January 2016

Sorry if this is not in the right section, but I was having trouble determining a proper home for it!

Does anyone know of any websites that either catalog or rate all of the unofficial, pre-2000 Pearl Jam bootlegs? I'm talking about the ones that were more professionally produced by labels like Kiss The Stone, etc. I stumbled upon a local record store yesterday and they have a bunch, but the sound quality can sometimes be a mixed bag.

I'm basically looking for something like this: http://www.livenirvana.com/bootography/

If no such thing exists for PJ, I guess I'll have to roll the dice, but I thought some of you might know a good resource! Thanks!!

discogs.com would be the best place to start. The reviews might be a bit hit and miss but the database for unofficial recordings and different pressings is excellent. Good lucks do beware of the wormhole that is discogs.

This is an old list, but includes a lot of sources:
- http://zuserver2.star.ucl.ac.uk/~jrd/pj/Discography_AC.txt
- http://zuserver2.star.ucl.ac.uk/~jrd/pj/Discography_DI.txt
- http://zuserver2.star.ucl.ac.uk/~jrd/pj/Discography_JP.txt
- http://zuserver2.star.ucl.ac.uk/~jrd/pj/Discography_QZ.txt
Additionally, if you need any info just ask.. I'm a PJ bootleg junkie (like many on here, I think)..
I collect all the official ones.. and have a lot of the unofficial ones (I think I have around 70 of them just for PJ).. in case you don't know, you pretty much can find online all of these sources, directly ripped from the silver discs, but if you want the phisical 'real' copies go for it.. if you have doubts about a title, just ask here..

No problem. Some of my favorite are 'Home' (seattle 1993/12/08, the digipack version is beautiful) and 'Last American Heroes' (New York 1994-04-17, last show with Dave A.).. both are excellent shows and sound quality is as good as it gets for audience recordings, if you find them I highly recommend them..
