(^) = Version played here has an unusual arrangement, starting off much slower than normally played (like the Bridge '96 shows)

Recording Notes:
This is by far the best sounding known source of this show. The only thing that has been cut out is some insignificant talking during the encores by the Triple-J DJ. The channels have also been switched to their correct places (Mike on the left, Stone on the right).

Show Notes (thanks to Five Horizons):
The show was broadcast on the radio throughout Australia, and on the internet in real time on JJJ. As is typically the case, the shows get better on second or third nights, and PJ's third show in Melbourne is tremendous. Ed slips in a tribute to the late Michael Hutchence (of INXS) during 'In My Tree' ("I'm so high I hold just one breath, give it to INXS, just like my innocence"). Some guitar chords from Midnight Oil's 'Beds are Burning' lead to a wonderful version of 'Corduroy,' which includes the little stop/start thing during the bridge towards the end. Ed's wonderful baritone comes through on 'Wishlist' and the "Camaro" line is changed to "I wish I was the full moon shining off your bulldozer's hood," plus "I wish I was the sound, of 50 million hands upraised for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan," and "I wish I was lucky man ... well I guess that I am ... I wish I could share with my friends, oh how many things that I have." 'Even Flow' again awesome, featuring really extended soloing from Mike; very prolific and a manic version of 'StBC' (dedicated to "... all those who work at Triple J and the guys who work at PBS"). The 'Daughter' outtro/improv ("poor little girl screaming traffic in her hair ...") is a Shudder to Think song titled 'Pebbles.' A couple of verses from 'Crazy Mary' lead to 'Elderly Woman.' 'Porch' leads off as the slower version (like Bridge '96), but later speeds into the more familiar, rocked out version.

This is being distributed by blackredyellow.com in tandem with pj.sidewalkcrusaders.com, and is part of a series of the best Pearl Jam shows in existance.

Question: Does this source sound significantly better than the pre FM Soundboard > DAT version that is circulating? Seems to be a different one.

Spacedvest:
Yes, this is much better...in fact, I added spectral analysis images to the thread here comparing this source with the "prefm>dat" source. Just so you know, I have my doubts that the "prefm>dat" source is correct...I have a theory that all sources claiming to be that are actually sourced from the webcast.

Also, this could very well be the same as the "Ahead" bootleg, especially since both that and this had the channel problem. I guess this would still be an upgrade because of the fixed channels, plus the intro that has been patched.

spacedvest:
Thanks guys for the kind words...like Leehro says, I do try and research this stuff. Some things happen reasonly quickly, others take a long time. I understand the doubt of the existance of this promo cd. To be honest, I do not have any scans or anything other than a copy, but from what I do have it all seems legit. Also, again I don't know if this is the same as the boot mentioned before. It is very possible the bootleggers got the promo somehow and bootlegged it.

But it does make sense a promo would exist. There was one for Atlanta '94, a Sony Music Australian promo that I used to have scans of but don't anymore (I did stick a scan in the artwork)...this was also apparently kind of rare. And then there are promos for many of the other broadcasted shows, like Berlin '96.

But regardless, what I can say with 100% certainty is that you guys will like this. The sound is great.
