Synopsis

Amazon.com
This chapter of Pearl Jam's grandiose scheme to foil pirates and charm their hard-core fans by releasing complete documentation of their 2000 tour finds the band a bit more ragged and raw than on the first night of their Wembley Arena stand, but that only adds to the drama. No Code's "Sometimes" kicks things off gently, segueing into an eclectic mix of old and new (including a manic "Grievance" from Binaural). Eddie Vedder's in a good mood, despite being whacked by Mike McCready's errant guitar; small wonder, as the latter's axe is in particularly free-spirited form this night, riffing with energy and soloing with particular abandon, breathing fiery life into new ("Nothing As It Seems") and old (the resurrected staple "Evenflow") alike. A great mix of music, heavy with an unusually large number of songs from No Code, performed with an often edgy abandon. --Jerry McCulley
 

CD Reviews

Pearl Jam comes through again...

"I have a lot of respect for the guys of Pearl Jam releasing all of these live shows officially, mistakes and all. But there in lies the charm of the discs. It feels like you're there. This one is no exception, featuring loads of great songs spanning the two discs, including past hits like Even Flow, Alive and Black. And some of the bands newer material. I'd definatly recommened this to any intrested Pearl Jam fan."

"This is the first "official" bootleg I've ever owned. I stumbled onto this one at a certain large "Mart". Suprised to find it although I was hoping too find one of the 25 after hearing about these boots in a certain national newspaper. Wembley Arena Day 2 is a good starter as its the fifth show in the tour and you start to hear things coming together. None of the songs could really be called obscure, but this has a little something for everybody. Vedder gets retrospective with Mike McCready after a few choice words for an earlier collision with Mikes guitar. Vedder on McCready: "so he pulls me into the bathroom, 'come here,see that(to Vedder), that's the Warfield San Francisco, eight years ago, so you did it to me too.'" There are a few mistakes: intro to mfc Vedder sings "got some car" and quickly mumbles "got A car". One of the higher points is McCready's solo in Evenflow, and the drum solo at the end of immortality by Matt Cameron. The show ends with near perfect versions of Black and Alive. Overall probably not the best of the 25 shows, but remarkably together for being only the fifth show since the 98 tour."
