I have to give a toast to Ed, for the Pearl Jam bootlegs they have made from every show. I must say its an excellent idea. I recently went to a pearl jam concert in montreal, and it was amazing, i then purchased the cd from the show. This way the memory will never fade from the show. Its the best show ive ever been to and now ive got the cd to show people and say i was there and saw them play this song. I also like the fact that if theres a song they didnt play at a concert you went to or just a song you want to hear thme play live you can find a bootleg with that song it. way to go PJ

I agree. Pearl Jam has an awesome idea with bootlegging their shows and selling them to fans, that way, like you said, the memory will never fade. I plan on doing that with my shows if I can ever get around to getting money for decent recording equipment.

I agree that bootlegging is a great idea. Being an avid Phish phan I have a huge collection of bootlegs from the last 14 years. Phish also is following this trend by making thier recent summer tour available online for a few bucks. They even have printable cd jewel case inserts and cd labels. I think that every band should follow this trend and make thier concerts available to the fans.

Have not yet, but it looks like a great setlist. I am slowly collecting a bunch of the live shows. I started with the shows I have been to and am moving on from there. I heard that 7/29/03 was a great show also. I happened to catch it the night after that at the Tweeter Center in NJ. Also a great show.

Live Bootlegs Rule!

The setlist was what caught my attention, too at first and they really rocked that night (I wasn't there in person as I live in Germany but they also rock on CD-R :-))

Dream Theater is doing something similar. They offer
"official" bootlegs from some shows for sale on their
homepage. I think it was Mike Portnoy's idea, and I think
it's an excellent one. :-)
