Pearl Jam - Dissident Audio CD

A fair review of the Pearl Jam "Dissident" Audio CD. Please note that the below review is the views of the authors, and authors only. You can get a complete list of all Pearl Jam reviews here, or go back to the Pearl Jam tabs.

Band: Pearl Jam Title: Dissident Rating: Release Date: 1995-06-27 Media: Audio CD Tracks: 1: Dissident (regular version) 2: release 3: Rearviewmirror 4: even flow 5: dissident 6: why go 7: deep

Proper Pearl Jam Live


This is really good, Pearl Jam live in 1994 sounds 100 times better than in 2004. If Pearl Jam today really cared about their fans, they would release a decent Live CD from their earliear live shows instead of releasing 300 or so Bootlegs from their last couple of World tours which were awful compared to this - musically and to watch. The difference in performance from the bootlegs compared with this is significant.
Buy it - definitley.

No need to diss Dissident.
It's the brilliant, arena rocking early Pearl Jam style that the world fell in love with (though just about all of Pearl Jam's songs rock, in my mind; it's all subjective, really). Although "Dissident" is an excellent song on its own, I bought this single for its live tracks, and I was not disappointed. "Why Go" is an underrated PJ gem, and "Deep" has some of the best drumming in the band's history.

Fans of these songs, plus the amazing "Rearviewmirror", "Release", and "Even Flow" should check out the "Dissident" single's splintering (and in "Release"'s case, simply beautiful) live tracks. And don't forget a live version of "Dissident" is included, too!.

Great depiction of the early Pearl Jam.

Now you have 72 official bootlegs, most of which contain the songs in this cd, but do not be fooled. Back in the days this cd was the only official record where you could get "live PJ.
There is a great difference in the pearl jam of 94 than the one of 2002. The following is a list of things that have changed in them:
1. maturity
2. ideals
3. intensity
remember that back in 94 the band was struggling against ticketmaster, a struggle that rid them of a lot of energy. Today, even though all the songs still have a lot of meaning, they do not have the same anger or emotion that they used to put into them. Today they are not angry young men trying to raise global consciousness, but mature artists that have found different ways to express their feelings, and that have evolved into another level of music. (do not interpret this the wrong way, pearl jam is even better now than ever!)

If you are a PJ fan, this is a record you must own, because its a legacy of the early begginings of the band.

flawless
You get all these great songs on the one single. This CD single is one of my favorites. With Rearviewmirror(live) and Release(live) it is awesome. Those 2 songs are worth the price of the CD. If you listen to the cd you will again see why Pearl Jam is one of the best rock bands ever.

A MUST HAVE FOR PEARL JAM FANS!
I didn't find these 3 discs in any packs; I searched for them individually. I bought the Dissident 3 CD collection a while ago and found it so awesome, it was a noteworthy review to write. These CD's contain most of the songs from Ten and Vs with a few highlights that I found especially intriguing. It contains live versions of my favorite b-sides from Ten as well as an extended versions of Porch, Rearviewmirror and Daughter. In Daughter, Pearl Jam continues the outro found on the album version and Eddie breaks into 'Another Brick In The Wall' by Pink Floyd (I saw him do the same thing on Saturday Night Live to a Neil Young dittie). All in all, I found this CD to be a winner; a lot of the songs that you love are beefed up when they play them live. This one comes highly recommended.
