I gotta say, these don’t sound as great as previous years. I thought 2022 and first leg of 2024 the quality and mixing were superb. The HD quality of 2022 was unreal. Every show in 2025 so far sounds different, muddy, not mixed well, and there’s always someone screaming in one of the ear buds all show.

That said, thankful we still get to listen to these shows 25 years later.

    Indeed. And yes I wish they could edit out that one crazed loco fan who keeps screaming.

    Few weeks back I went and saw the band Bush. There was this one fan sitting a few seats in front of us who would yell pathetically a few times during every song. It sucked!

    I remember reading years and year ago that EV called those types “the thieves of silence”. It was in regards to his 2008 solo acoustic tour in the US. He mentioned that it wasn’t like that in Europe.

    I have ATL 2, and the crowd mix definitely seems different than the 2024 boots.

    My favorite bootlegs are 2009-2010 and 2016. But again, FLAC-HD from 2022 is incredible.

    Sounds way better on the pressed release. 

    But I generally agree. 
    In terms of bootlegs quality post Covid I would go with the following order: 
     
    2022, 2024 (first half, pressed CDs), 2023, 2024 summer and fall, 2025 
    ------------------------------

    2005 - Calgary, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Kitchener, Montréal, Ottawa
    2006 - Verona, Torino, Pistoia
    2007 - Munich
    2013 - Calgary
    2014 - Vienna
    2016 - Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto N1, Toronto N2, Pemberton
    2018 - Padova
    2022 - Frankfurt, Krakow, Quebec, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto

    Am currently listening to Pittsburgh N2 and also bought Raleigh 1 and 2 MP3s. Didn't think anything was off about these. Going to get the CD of Pittsburgh N1.

    Some of those '08 shows the crowd weren't that bad. Did Santa Barbara, LA1, Montreal 1 & 2 plus Toronto 1 & 2 that year. There were a few in the audience that didn't respect the man at work. Not as bad as the other shows Ed did that I've heard many audience recordings of. DAMN!!! They really need to stop serving booze at those theatres.

    I think the streamed 2025 shows via Nugs sound great.

    Indeed. I wish Nugs & Pearl Jam were able to stream some live 2025 videos.
