Synopsis

Amazon.com
Vocalist Eddie Vedder, basically being a man of very few words, tends to get your attention when he does speak above a mumble. And when he tells the crowd in Verona that, because it's been so long since Pearl Jam played there, they are going to play a longer set, you can bet he's not kidding. Heck, the 12-song encore, which includes "Black," "Evolution," "Better Man," "Alive," and "Porch," would have been worth the price of admission alone. The 19-song set that precedes is certainly no disappointment, either. Sure, there are a few out-of-tune moments early on in "Hail Hail" and "Animal," but that's part of the magic of these discs. There's not a Pearl Jam CD unrepresented in this amazing performance, as well as a few rarities, such as a snippet of Tom Waits's "In the Coliseum" and the very raw and unrehearsed but utterly sweet version of "I Got You," which the band sort of stumbles through. It's shows like this that truly capture the spirit of this "bootleg" series, capturing the spontaneity of a set (or songs) that may never be played the same way again. --Adem Tepedelen

CD Reviews

Great from long road to ledbetter
Syd Nicholson | Marion, IN USA | 11/08/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Verona, Italy album is an excellent addition to any cd collection (whether for the hardcore PJ fans or newcomers). I own 2 of these bootlegs (verona and spodek-night#2) and this is definitely the better of the two, even though both are phenomenal. Eddie Vedder is on top of his game. Long road, wishlist, state of love and trust keep disc one going strong from start to finish. Disc 2 is even better, with a very raw version of RVM and an amazing Split Enz cover of I Got You. The final 5 songs make the disc. Alive, Last Kiss, Porch-great version, Soon Forget, and the classic Yellowledbetter are excellent. Overall, this double disc bootleg is the best I've heard. It's raw, rare, and amazingly cool, Pearl Jam style."
Good price, Better Cd

"When I bought this I was a casual Pearl Jam listener. I bought this because of the song selection and two cd's for the price of one, you cant get a better deal. When I popped it into my CD player I was blown away. Unlike many other bands out there these days Pearl Jam sounds just as good live as they do in the studio. This is an awesome band and I encourage anyone who enjoys Pearl Jam to immediatly Buy this."

"WOW. This CD is the best purchase I have ever made. It has, I believe, 32 songs, and the set list is incredible. I love this night's version of Yellow Ledbetter, Wishlist, Given to Fly, Do the Evolution, RVM and MFC. The sound quality is perfect and the crowd does get into some of the songs. I have heard the cds from Poland, Jones Beach and Las Vegas, and this was my favorite by far. Even when Eddie messes up, the songs sound great."
