High-Quality Pearl Jam Live Shows with Complete Set of Artwork

Last Updated: 05/30/2007

Jam Like Hell Name Insert (Outside) Tray Disc   Jam Like Hell Daly City, CA 12/31/91 SV023-19911231   (640 KB) (461 KB) (225 KB) Insert (Inside)     (656 KB)     Comments My original idea was to put the 1991 and 1992 New Year Eve shows together and set everything on fire. Well after a change of heart, I decided to split the shows up separately. This first one was done after the second one, but I knew what I wanted to do all along. This also has the Nirvana set which Kris S. did (and sounds a hell of a lot better than what I did for the PJ set in my opinion). Thanks again to the one and only Bill Graham for spreading the Nirvana show to PJ fans and getting the ball rolling. I really like how the cover turned out...I merged the faces of Vedder and Cobain, and I got them to fit perfectly together by total accident. =) Completed Nov. 2003

Jam Like Hell (Platinum Edition) Name Insert (Outside) Tray Top Tray Disc 1   Jam Like Hell (Platinum Edition) Daly City, CA 12/31/91 SV059-19911231   (1.2 MB) (711 KB) (519 KB) (349 KB) Insert (Inside)     Disc 2 (919 KB)     (346 KB)       Disc 3       (346 KB) Comments Shortly after torrenting the regular version of this show (SV023 above), the taper of this show contacted me and expressed some concern over whether the source lineage was correct. So he graciously made a copy from his master, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers set which I believe had not really circulated before. I did some basic editing to fix some minor problems, and updated the artwork to include the RHCP set. Dominick Gruber also spent a good deal of time helping me identify the RHCP teases and tracks. Completed Aug. 2004   Modified Aug. 2004 (Fixed some typos on the tracklisting)

Vera Name Insert (Outside) Tray Disc   Vera Groningen, Holland 03/01/92 SV018-19920301   (648 KB) (329 KB) (89 KB) Insert (Inside)     (426 KB)     Comments I don't remember how exactly I got on this path, but one day I got in my head the idea of recreating the "Ten" album cover with skeletons. I was going to use this at first for a Black Red Yellow t-shirt design entry (we had a contest earlier), but thought it was too morbid. After I did the inside cover, where you can see the inside skeletons of the band members, I thought this was coming out really weird and disturbing. So I then tried to offset all the skeleton imagery with Pearl Jam as babies. Anyway, that ended up kind of creepy as well. :) So I guess here it is, my creepy Vera artwork. I promise I am not a wacko (LOL)...BTW, this show was a bitch. I worked on it for so long, trying to make myself more fluent in Cool Edit Pro in the process, and it basically ended up like crap. Step in Bill Graham to save the day! Thanks to Bill, and to Dave, who I told I was going to give this show to, maybe a year and a half ago. Completed May 2003

Den Haag Name Insert (Outside) Tray Disc 1   Den Haag Den Haag, Holland 03/02/92 Paris, France 02/10/92 SV035-19920302   (334 KB) (465 KB) (160 KB) Insert (Inside) Inside Tray Disc 2 (523 KB) (167 KB) (172 KB) Comments Bill put together hopefully the definitive source by patching two sources of this show together. I have noticed that, at least lately, the artwork I was creating seemed to be all dark, so I intentionally made this light-colored. All of the instruments except the microphone stand are three-dimensional objects. I am really proud of this one. Completed May 2004   Modified June 2004 (Corrected a typo on the inside insert)

Catharsis Name Insert (Outside) Tray Disc   Catharsis Boulder, CO 05/05/92 SV066-19920505   (596 KB) (556 KB) (218 KB) Insert (Inside)     (836 KB)     Comments I did the artwork for this over a week´s time, while I was away on a trip to Atlanta. BLG was contacted by the taper of this previously uncirculating recording, and wanted him to remaster it and spread it. So this was kind of a no-brainer. I am sad to say that the inspiration for the artwork is the song "What Does It Take" by Honeymoon Suite, from the 80´s movie "One Crazy Summer". I used to listen to that song and watch that movie all the time when I was a kid, and I heard it again on the radio, and the lyrics "If I could grow wings, I would do anything just to keep you with me" stuck in my head as I was doing this. I also have some weird fascination with halos which I can´t explain (so I guess "Halo" by Depeche Mode and "The Noose" by A Perfect Circle kind of were inspirations too). Basically, a "music can save your soul" kind of deal. Ironically, this was released on Easter Sunday 2005. Completed Mar. 2005

The Haunted Finsbury Name Insert (Outside) Tray Disc   The Haunted Finsbury London, England 06/06/92 SV002-19920606   (757 KB) (349 KB) (305 KB) Insert (Inside)     (603 KB)     Comments The title and theme of this one has nothing to do with the show itself. This was basically the first complete version of this show that Olivier put together...so I thought about how elusive this was, and after looking at some old pics around Finsbury Park, I thought it looked kind of creepy, and so the "Haunted Finsbury" came to mind. Looking back at it now, it is kind of goofy, just some photo manipulation (and not too good at that) where PJ is reenacting a Scooby Doo cartoon , but I still kind of like it... Completed Apr. 2001   Modified June 2003 (Updated the outside insert with a picture of the band from the day of the show, and changed some fonts) June 2004 (Updated the tray, added the pic of Mike in the inside insert)

Untangled Name Insert (Outside) Tray Disc   Untangled Milan, Italy 06/17/92 SV044-19920617   (1.25 MB) (765 KB) (1.05 MB) Insert (Inside)     (1.45 MB)     Comments I did the artwork for this over a weekend (July 16-18, 2004). Usually I try and come up with a theme from the show and make the artwork match it; this time I just started doing some funky stuff with the vidcaps from the video and just having fun. The title basically is "meaningless", it is derived from the artwork alone for obvious reasons. The show itself is a complete source, one that FGE put together. Completed July 2004

The Isle of Boom Name Insert (Outside) Tray Disc   The Isle of Boom Honolulu, Hawaii 09/26/92 SV062-19920926   (796 KB) (638 KB) (278 KB) Insert (Inside)     (655 KB)     Comments When Soonforget and I were brain-storming for the artwork for the Maui 2/21/98 show that we did the year before (SV027), I thought of a title for it that we did not use: "The Isle of Boom", which was a play on words, meaning both the "boom" of a speaker, and also a nod to future PJ member Boom, who is from Hawaii. Well, since we did not use the title, I used it for this show, and this newly discovered soundboard source. This source was dug up a few months beforehand by Vikas, who actually paid for it, and graciously shared it with everyone. The problem with it though is it had been compressed in some manner before Vikas got it (which I don´t think he even knew), and there were four spots of somewhat annoying diginoise during "Release", the first song. Well, I patched these problem spots with the incomplete, analog-based version that I already had of this show. For the artwork (which I did mostly in Cape Cod a few months before on vacation) the cover is pretty much what I was going for, but I also envisioned having a giant boot steping down, and have all the people running away, but I could not fit the giant foot with the proper angle on the cover, so I just dropped it and added a sign. Completed Sept. 2004   Modified Sept. 2004 (corrected some stuff I mistakingly omitted on the inside insert)

Jam Like Hell II Name Insert (Outside) Tray Disc   Jam Like Hell II New York, NY 12/31/92 SV010-19921231   (432 KB) (401 KB) (222 KB) Insert (Inside)     (536 KB)     Comments I had done most of this one about a year, a year and a half before finally completing it; the delay was due to the audio sources that I could get my hands on weren't as good as I hoped for (that is, until Fred Evans finally released one). I got the idea for this a long time ago when Five Horizons used to have video reviews. The review for this show included a close-up screenshot of Mike playing guitar...for some reason, I thought that was the coolest image. Anyway, I ended up using that same image for the cover (actually using a few frames from the video source, trying to create a motion effect), and basically put everything on fire (I always thought "Jam Like Hell" would be a great name for a cd...I thought of it one day while listening to Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell"). Also, at first I was going to put this show together with the 12/31/91 show, but decided to split them up instead (because I am anal about the ordering of my shows). The clock is of course a reference to New Year's Eve. I did the fire effects by using a Java program I made. Completed Apr. 2003

Shoe the Shoeless Name Insert (Outside) Booklet (pages 3 & 6) Tray Disc 1   Shoe the Shoeless Indio, CA 11/05/93 SV022-19931105   (417 KB) (409 KB) (418 KB) (383 KB) Insert (Inside) Booklet (pages 4 & 5) Inside Tray Disc 2 (363 KB) (457 KB) (234 KB) (390 KB) Comments Another fantastic show, probably the best sounding "unofficial" release ever. Bill combined the soundboard with an audience recording to give it more life. For the artwork, I used some great photographs of the show, along with some video captures and some poster scans (thanks to Pete Rosso). I went all out and made a booklet again; if you don't want the booklet, I recommend printing pages 4 and 5 as the inside of the insert. Completed June 2003
