"Take it from a person who was there! This was the best concert I've ever been to, whenever I listen to it I have flash backs, great memories, and this is a great CD"
Thank you.

"And again thank you PJ for taking on this project to record and release every concert(except, understandably, the tragic one). I admit a great bias as I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan and attended this concert but I still listen to it frequently and cherish the memories of that night spent with friends. The audience participation is wonderful and the interaction still brings chills to me to this day. I would recommend this CD certainly to any fan. I hope to have them all very soon and appreciate reading the reviews especially from the actual concert goer's. It adds an extra perspective to the mood of the night when it happened."
One of the best from the first leg

"A lot of people are touting Pittsburg as the best show from the first leg, but Eddie makes a few lyrical mistakes and I don't think the setlist is nearly as strong as the Tampa show.The highlight of this show, for me, is Eddie leading the audience in Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 during the end of Daughter. Overall, this is just a great album."

"How do you choose from the dozens of Pearl Jam bootlegs currently available?...Well, if you are me, you buy as many as you can. Admittedly, this isn't always the best financial solution, so picking well is the best way to do it. This show, one of the six specially marked sets from the first leg of American shows, is outstanding in many ways. And since each of these sets is like looking at a painting in a different way, certain nuances are apparent, from the blistering closing trio of Indifference, Rockin in the Free World and Last Exit to the amazing opening instrumental cover of Pink Floyd's Interstellar Overdrive, which segues into a tight, focused version of Corduroy, usually not one of my favorite songs, but a standout in this set. The sound quality on this boot is much better that on that of the European sets I've heard, and I'm looking forward to listening to more shows from the first leg, and next month, to getting ahold of the amazing last fews shows from the Northwest leg. But as the first set I've picked up, this show is amazing...Pearl Jam at its triumphant best, rocking in stride but reaching back to find moments of quiet solitude..."
