a bootleg ... isn't it?

I believe so, however this one appears to not be a limited release and on RED vinyl, while another version, such as the current being offered by What Records (http://www.whatrecords.co.uk/items/57719.htm) is limited to 500 copies and is on WHITE vinyl. I believe there's also other versions like the one you linked to that are numbered and are translucent PURPLE vinyl.

as usuall these colored series are boots ...so it is

Came across this album two weeks ago, and by luck it was still at the record store yesterday. Bought it, only cause I came across it on eBay. Couple of sellers are advertising high prices due to its rarity. Is this true? Rare? Being a huge pj fan I'm questioning if I should open it. Is it just a cool bootleg that won't be worth anything in years to come? Or should I keep it sealed?

Cheers

Also, if it is numbered, where on the cover or label would that be identified?

I have some difficult to tell that a unofficial boot is rare... i mean, they can pressed 50 or 100 copies but is still a boot..

This release is being distributed pretty commercially for it to be a boot. There are a lot of major outlets releasing this album and I would think that if it was something truly considered a "bootleg", Pearl Jam would step in and nip it in the butt.

The thing that bugged me about this was that the first place I heard about it, said it was limited to 500 on Purple vinyl. Then a week later I heard it was being distributed by another site and they had 500 limited copies on white. I've heard of a few other colors now making this limited release not so limited anymore.

I bought one because I'm a total sucker for live PJ on vinyl but I'm not expecting this to be the best thing I've ever heard. We shall see though.

It is a boot for sure ...i think it is impossible to know the exact number and don't think it will have a very high value
if it will have it will be a stupid price to pay

i like only some old boots from '90 ...i can pay high price for them but still they haven't a very high price so...
