Amazon.com The last date of the best-documented tour in rock history, Pearl Jam's Seattle, Washington 11/6/00 might be the most important record in the band's entire career. Starting with the dates from the European leg of the tour, then moving through the U.S. East Coast, and finally concluding with the West Coast, every date on Pearl Jam's world tour has been immortalized with its own accompanying CD. Why would the band choose to do this? After listening to this three-disc set, one possible answer looms closer to reality-- it's the last gift to their fans before Pearl Jam calls it quits. "Hello, Seattle, this is it," says lead singer Eddie Vedder after a scorching rendition of "Dissident" (from 1993's Vs.). "One last show, (and) we never play again." After a round of boos, he retreats a little, backpedaling with "at least for quite a while," but it's clear that Vedder and the band are not just tired after a long tour. They're giving some thought to an extended, perhaps permanent, break. Perhaps better than any other of the "bootleg" releases, it encapsulates the dichotomy of Pearl Jam's iconoclastic catalog. The sweeping set list from the longest show on the tour ranges from the Ten-era anthem rock that made them superstars to the introspective and artsy fare that has characterized their later work. They attack each song the same--with boundless energy and the tight stage savvy of veteran performers. Leading off with a stirring "Release," Vedder's voice bleeds with his now-familiar throaty power, laying into one of the band's signature ballads. He works a similar magic with "Off He Goes" from No Code and "Crazy Mary" (memorably captured on the Victoria Williams benefit record Sweet Relief), as well as Vitalogy's "Betterman," which the Seattle crowd turns into a giant choral number. But Pearl Jam are a rock band, and nowhere is that more apparent than on the start of the second disc, when Vedder and company rip through defining versions of "Even Flow" and "Jeremy," giving guitarist Mike McCready and the rest a proper forum to work the crowd into a sweaty mess. It has been a wild 10 years since Ten blew the doors off alt-rock, when Vedder and company became worldwide icons and were swept up in the intense, if short-lived, ascendancy of grunge. If it's all coming to an end, it makes this already essential disc that much more so. --Matthew Cooke Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWorth Every Penny D. Robertson | Moses Lake, WA USA | 03/28/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Sure, you're going to pay a few extra bucks for this particular set since it's 3 CD's, but believe me, you will be glad you did. I was fortunate enough to be at this concert, and it was a very special, emotional night. Pearl Jam had been through a lot in the year 2000, and this night was the end of it all. They played with more passion than I had ever seen them play live before, and they held nothing back. Like Eddie says in the midst of it all, "We're gonna be here for a while. We're not going anywhere." The result was over three hours of sheer greatness, and to my surprise, much of it was captured on these discs. Everything worked this night. The set list, the covers, Eddie's speeches, the crowd, the energy...this is PJ at its best. If you're still stuck in the haze that has been all these recent live releases from them, I highly recommend putting this one at the top of your list. The high point for me is "Daughter", where Eddie begins chanting at the end, and the crowd follows him. What's unfortunately not captured in these discs is the sheer delight displayed by Eddie at the climax of the song. He began jumping and dancing around like the Eddie of old, and you can tell by the crowd's response. I could go on to mention all the other great performances of the night, but words wouldn't do them justice. I'll sum up by saying that of all the Pearl Jam bootlegs we've heard over the years, this is the crown jewel. Since I'm in the fan club, I've been listening to it for a month now, and it keeps getting better. Enjoy." This is the End kurdtkohbain | in the sun i feel as one | 05/09/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "From a fan standpoint, this is the quitessential set of the 72 live official bootlegs from the recent PJ tour. Pearl Jam is the last band standing from the Seattle scene and what a way to end it. How many bands have released an entire tour for their fans...none. This ranks up there with the Greatful Dead supplying outlets for fans to make their own bootlegs of their shows. What a way to bow before the curtain. After arguably one of the best albums (Binaural) since Vs. PJ ends in classic fashion with this official bootleg set. If you can, buy all 72 shows, if not this last show, at home, of the American tour is by far the best yet. All the heavy hitters are present and accounted for. The only performance of "Alive" since the tradegy in Europe, the band nails it like it was 1992 all of the sudden. Three discs of Grandma Pearl's Jar o' Exstacy. From the clasic opener Release, to the classic ender (Keely hit the lights) Yellow Ledbetter, Pearl Jam is a tour de Force. The only discs in this set that I've heard which compare are the 2 shows from Italy (especially Milan). At home in Seattle, the crowd is empthatic. Makes you wish there was a Lollapalooza '92 official bootleg. Betterman is at its best (yeah, the same version you've been seeing on VH1). Classic covers like Baba O'Reilly and Crazy Mary creep into the 3rd disc. Daughter edges into ten minutes of bliss. Lead guitarist Mike McCready splices the classic Hendrix "Runnin' with the wind" into the Ledbetter finale(a perfect setting since Hendrix was born here). Vedder is closer than ever with the audience, and love is reciprocated. Early on Vedder proclaims "One more show Seattle, this is it." And if this is truly the last we see of the greatest band of this generation, then this whole set will be the greatest gift a rock and roll fan could ever hope for. Pearl Jam is dead...long live Pearl Jam" Better than O-Town! thethuthinnang | Efrafa | 04/01/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The highlights: Eddie & the crowd get together and respond to each others respective mumblings and chants/screams in a way that's just utterly sweet throughout the show; Eddie repeatedly insults the crowd from their previous performance (which IS the monkey/manless, un-PJ favorite bootleg number seventy-one); a live version of "Nothing As It Seems" that will rock your socks off, revealing your beautiful toes in a much more efficient manner than did the studio "Binaural" one; actual, live performances of "Leatherman," "Not For You," and "Immortality"; a classicly flubbed (or intentionally changed) line in "Even Flow" that reveals some disgruntlement from Vedder (paving the way for a ripping "Not For You"); Eddie tells the crowd that he'll see them in the voting booth tomorrow, and if someone doesn't vote that is how eternity will see them on their gravestones; Eddie plays the famous riff from "Ironman" on his ukulele!This is just an amazing, sprawling, lengthy (3 CD!) concert full of the greatest PJ tracks that you may not necessarily expect to hear in concert. The band sounds wonderful, Eddie sounds wonderful, and everyone sounds like they had fun. It's PJ's home town and everything went over very well. Hence, monkey/man designation as one of their favorite concerts from the tour. It's definitely one of my favorite concerts from the tour. It'll definitely be one of your favorite concerts from the tour.I'm not going to go into how wonderful they were for having done the bootleg project, or how wonderful each song was, or how this may be one of their last. (He does say so himself in the little break between "Dissident" and "Nothing As It Seems.") The band has tremendous energy and everyone has a moment to shine; even Matt Cameron (the drummer-o'-the-week) gets into a little drum solo after Eddie tells a small, chanting crowd to speak up. (Naturally, the whole crowd took this request as directed toward them to make as much noise as possible.) As you may have put together, there was a lot of banter, joy, and all the little oddities that make live performances what they are documented on this triple-album. Buy it, buy it, buy it. You're not going to find a much better bootleg out there.I love "Immortality.""
