GREAT PEARL JAM
As usual, you can't beat a live version of Pearl Jam - this was up there with the best.


keep on rockin...
grunge exploded, and pearl jam was leading the way. i remember when pearl jam played state college in 93[?]with the red hot chili peppers. eddy and the band rocked; it was raw and mad and wonderful.

listening to the three-disc set i realize how times change; there was no war then, and there were few reasons to be raw and mad but pearl jam was just because. and some things do not change. pearl jam is still raw and mad and wonderful.

the tale of the time is captured, along with the big sound pearl jam is known for. the porch, fortunate son, keep on rocking, yellow ledbetter sequence is worth the cost alone.

i recommend 05. 03. 03 highly.

Pretty darn good
Though I'm not a big fan of Eddie's voice that night (though I am a big fan almost any other night), there are many memorable rarities such as "Release" and "Leaving Here". I've listened to many many many Pearl Jam concerts and this one is great.
With so many tracks, you're at least getting your money's worth.


Just keeps going and going and going...
I got this CD because I had never heard them live, and kept hearing that any live recording was more than worth it. Ok, so I'm not the world's greatest Pearl Jam fan, but their records do spend a decent amount of time in my CD player. This one got strong reviews, had an enormous set list, so seemed like a good deal.

It is a great deal, but man this concert never ends. It starts off great, the sound quality is superb, but how many endless guitar solos do I have to listen to? There's something like 30 songs on this CD, and you REALLY feel it by the end. Every time I listen to it, I just start drifting out in the middle of the second disc. The short acoustic break is kind of not much at all, and the concert fizzles a bit after that, and gets quite repetitive.

I think this is very good overall, but only hardcore PJ fans will have the stamina to give this record their full attention. For the rest of us mortals, it is a good buy, but you'll probably end up listening to it in bits and pieces over a few months. Still a good CD to rock out to, and for the record, PJ do sound amazing live.


Pearl jam in state college!
Magical Nite! I was there! . I was alive, spell bound, and over my head with the joy!
I know they are among the very best! But for those 4 hours . . they were number one!
One evening of my life I cannot top it, ever! Buy this! .
