Stumbled upon this great site devoted to NZ Bootlegs to find that this fine chap made audience recordings for the opening acts on the last four shows of the PJ Aus/NZ tour (no PJ audience recordings though unfortunately).

Anyhoo, I don't think a recording of this has been available before, so here's Liam Finn & Eliza Jane Barnes covering Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl with help from younger bro Elroy and Mr Eddie Vedder.

I'd also recommended downloading the Sydney or Brisbane Ben Harper sets, not only because they were kick ass performances but because they include Under Pressure w/ EV and a sensational cover of INXS's Never Tear Us Apart.

PS> I was disappointed to see that "Second Chance w/ Eddie Vedder" as listed under Liam's Auckland set was simply this (see 1:00 & 1:30 mark):

Thanks for these - been wanting to check out some Liam Finn & R7 sources!

FUCK YESS!!!!! THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCHHHH!!!!!

I've been wanting to hear Bens/Liams Brisbane set again ever since I left the show. Thanks so much for the links to thate site!!!!

THANK YOU!!!! You've made an Aussie boy real happy.

Edit: I'd recommend getting the Brisbane Liam/Ben shows, they were incredible. I wish I had gone all around Australia to see them play time and time again. The price of the ticket alone (for me) finished at the end of Liams set (He was that good!) By the time Ben had finished, I was ready for fork out at least another $150-200. And Pearl Jam blew me away.

Easy tiger!! Pleasure is mine, just glad to be able to spread the jam and jam-related condiments

And great to hear your first PJ experience was such a great one Jack!
(twas a awesome show by the sounds of the boot )

Well thank you again none the less, I've downloaded all of them now.

Brisbane was absolutely brilliant, a night to never forget.

Jesus Christ Jack...Imagine what would have happenned if you'd gotten yourself laid after the show as well - I'm thinking you may well have spontaneously imploded from joy-overload or something!

I would've liked to have met a girl at the show, I did, but turned around and her red headed boyfriend was there. Red Hot they were nicknamed. She was pretty hot.

meh...I'll bet she was like 40.

That was the one in front.

Thanks so much for the link!!! I'm a huge Harper fan and it looks like the Sydney show will be the first bootleg I've found for the shows i've been to. Very grateful to both you for pointing it out and the taper of course! Is anyone aware of anymore sources for the Sydney or even other AU/NZ shows (specifically the opening acts)? This was my first PJ show too! With the heat and also a pretty terrible migraine it was tough to get through but the energy coming from the crowd had some hell of a healing affect I swear!

Thanks once again!

This!

In fact R7 opening sets for the US tour too.
