    Dissident Singles Collection (Atlanta - 4/3/94)
    Dissident, even though it's not the complete show. Largely picked this because it took me years to complete the set, lol. That, and it's a rockin' show that I also remember listening to on the radio.

    So, I guess for me nostalgia's a big factor in my choice.

    Also, hope we eventually end up with an official release from every year.

    The Orpheum version of Blood is my favourite of that song.
    PS I saw the soldier field bootleg on sale at HMV in Toronto for 42 bucks plus tax. I couldn't believe it. One of my most listened to bootlegs for sure, and I would have liked to own it... but almost 50 bucks? Crazy

    It's amazing how far the Pearl Jam Live Recording experience has come. I treasured that Dissident single because it had a live version of Even Flow on it. Now, my hard drive has like 400 live versions of Even Flow on it. Hell, my phone has 12. If you told younger me as he bought the Dissident single that someday his phone would have 12 live versions of Even Flow on it, he'd say "How the hell would a phone have music on it? It's a phone." But I digress. It's astounding how assessable live Pearl Jam (and music in general) as become over the past ten or so years.

    Dissident Singles Collection (Atlanta - 4/3/94)
    I voted The Dissident Singles collection because this is the show that started my love for live shows/bootlegs. First recording it off the radio and eventually getting the 3 cd's.

    Vault #3 (Washington D.C. - 9/19/98)
    As a drummer who I assume notices drums more than an average listener, its hard for me to enjoy some of the Dave A. performances since Matt took over the reigns. Matt takes things to another level in my opinion. How awesome would it have been to have had his drive coupled with Eddie's early/mid 90's intensity. The entire planet would have probably spontaneously combusted.

    Live On Two Legs (Various '98)
    Live on two legs was my first experience of hearing pearl jam live as at the time I had never been lucky to catch them live, it blew me away...particularly eddies voice on nothingman and given to fly. It took me somewhere else and with the constant listening of no code & yield too...it provided my soundtrack for many years. Eventually I caught the band live in 2000 and wasn't disappointed. Why it isn't regarded as one of the best live releases ever baffles me...powerful...

    Dissident Singles Collection (Atlanta - 4/3/94)
    Wow... Just realized how much work I need to put in - I've only heard 4 of those shows....

    I had to go with Atlanta '94, but I think the "unofficial" versions really do add to the overall quality of the show.
