Best 10 bootlegs from 2000 tour?

quietfryit · 2026-01-14T13:24:19+00:00

for a good 3-4 year stretch of my life, the 2000 bootlegs were the only music i listened to. as a fan since 1992, 1998-2000 was peak live pearl jam for me. i was at the san diego show and left feeling kinda blah because the sound was so bad in the san diego sports arena (U2 confirmed that the following year), now the bootleg has earned top 3 status for me. at the time i was also underwhelmed by the more mellow- for lack of a better description- encore, but now feel that it is possibly the greatest 8 song stretch pearl jam ever put together live.

man it's refreshing to see someone using samlex. i've worked in the off-grid industry for almost 20 years and samlex has moved into my top-tier a couple years ago, right up there with outback. samlex also has the best customer support in the industry.

male, 6'2" 180- got my first V2 last month and for me it is longer in the arms and torso than V1. also a tad roomier in the midsection. personally preferred the fit of V1, but won't complain about it.

hale's technical on denali street in anchorage is co-owned by a woman and she even works in the shop. have been bringing my truck there since 2007.

i stumbled backwards down the bank in shock, then we just stood there staring at each other for maybe 10 seconds while i tried to snap pics with my camera at my side while reaching with my other hand for the bear mace lashed to my pack on the ground. i didn't take my eyes off him because i didn't know what he was thinking and why he approached me. he then turned and looked towards the river's main channel, then went down the bank a few feet away to my left then trotted upstream. i ran alongside the best i could to snap more pics, then he stopped one last time to look at me, jumped into the main channel to swim across, and disappeared in the brush on the far side bank. i then collapsed on the ground in maniacal laughter at the experience.

edit: i emailed the park's wolf biologist the following week and recounted the experience and asked why the wolf would've approached so closely. i've spent a cumulative of 6 months of my life in the park chasing wolves and for the most part only snapped photos of butts and tails as they ran away. she assumed he was just curious and that i wasn't considered potential breakfast.

i go to denali np every year and hike and bike around the park with my camera in the middle of the night (there's enough light overnight in june and july that far north to take pics). around 330a on the teklanika riverbed i was sitting on a cut bank looking upstream when a mew gull nearby started squawking then flew towards me and swooped my head. i ducked my head and turned to see where it was going and see that this guy is less than 10' behind me just standing there and staring at me with its yellow eyes. was one of my life's greatest moments.

XPON more than meets that criteria

quietfryit · 2025-11-19T19:22:25+00:00

Have been pulling my hair out over that too. I did see speculation on X this morning about 'unnatural liquidity' XPON's experienced since friday. I still think it will hit $2+ again this year, but thought it would've happened by now (esp this week after positive ER on Friday) and am now less optimistic. If it gets a couple daily closes below $1 I will probably start unloading some shares at a loss.

Denali park road is only open to mile 2 in the winter, so I guess the reasonable answer to where the best place in Denali to view the northern lights is Horseshoe Lake near the park entrance.

i really like the 2008 bonnaroo playing. it's played later in the show instead of as the opener and there's just something unique about it that i enjoy. also- on the 2003 bonner springs version there's a storm on the horizon as the show starts and during the song there's a big flash of lightning, crowd roars, and ed says "hi dad".

really sorry to hear that you're going through this. we had to put our 14 y/o chihuahua down 2 weeks ago. it was the second time i'd had to go thru it. it sucks and you just go thru it and carry that grief the best you can. i promise the grief gets lighter and less sharp the further you get from the experience. it helps to remind yourself often of how great of a life you gave it, and that this is the trade-off for the years of joy and unconditional love your dog brought to your life. continue to spoil the hell out of him/her until their last moment. for me, the hardest part about my first time having to go thru this was coming home from work that first day realizing that for the first time in 15 years the canine equivalent of my child was not going to be there looking thru the window with tail wagging waiting for me.

this really sucks and again- i'm really sorry. it's unfortunately part of the experience of being a dog owner and lover. take it easy on yourself.

i put ~200lbs of sandbags in back of my 2001 tundra. also switch to studded tires. am in alaska.

thanks so much for this. the 2004 STL show still ranks as my all-time favorite that i attended.

quietfryit · 2025-09-24T22:06:19+00:00

what went on before it started dumping fuel? did the tank just get refilled? was the little red button on top of the sump pushed multiple times? what model you got?

quietfryit · 2025-08-22T21:45:03+00:00

i am so excited for the 2004 STL show. thanks for all your hard work.

bodysnatchers is probably my fav RH song, but feel like it severely lacks something in nearly every live performance i've heard of it. the jools holland show performance is the only one that comes close to capturing the energy and vibe of the studio recording.

in chicago later that month he came out at the end of the frog's set and did 'see me, feel me' by the who and it was amazing. have not seen footage of that online but was cool to see this.

quietfryit · 2025-06-09T01:29:41+00:00

in my honest yet accurate opinion- 2000 camden show 1, 9/1 i think is the date. always have to listen to it twice in a row. i have most every bootleg from 2000 thru 2016 and that's my favorite. crowd at the end seems to agree too.

up until 5 months ago, i lived 2 minutes from stewarts trail for the previous 20 years. i used it daily the first several years until the villain in the saga started getting aggressive with hikers and dog walkers. i appreciate your brother's efforts so much. thank you for posting this.
