4.0 out of 5 stars How did you choose which "bootleg" to buy?..., September 29, 2000

By 

"gator480" (Cave Creek, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 20/6/00 - Arena, Verona, Italy (Audio CD)

My criteria for choosing Verona (the only one I bought) came down to song selection... The Long Road, Corduroy, Wishlist, Rearviewmirror, and the Split Enz Cover - all are great. What pleasantly surprised me is how No Code material benefits from an aggressive approach, and how the Ten material is injected with fresh energy - given how tired the band might be of their older material, you'd never know it by their lively takes - especially Alive.

The disk starts off slowly, and a little shaky. But the arc from Hail Hail through Immortality is really great - high energy, enthusiasm, and great drumming!! The second disc sags a little as the encores take shape, but Do The Evolution through Porch is another good stretch. Matt Cameron and Mike McCready's playing really stands out throughout this disc.

I docked this a star for omitting Off He Goes as the last song in favor of Yellow Ledbetter. Sorry....

I expected to be dissappointed by this disc, thinking the sound quality would suffer, or Eddie might be surly. Now I'm thinking of getting one or two more... Let's see... which one has Crazy Mary on it???....

5.0 out of 5 stars An Overflowing Show with Many Surprises, November 2, 2001

Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. This massive show has one of the longest set lists in the entire bootleg series, with a whopping 31 songs, and also has one of the longest running times. Apparently Pearl Jam was feeling sentimental about playing in Verona, as they hadn't been there for a while, so they pulled out all the stops for this show. Granted, the musicianship in this performance is not very noteworthy and can be considered rather average (as compared to the rest of the bootleg series), and there are many mistakes. Also, the extra-long set list starts to really drag during the huge encore, and the show really runs out of steam near the end. However, the band's enthusiasm and love for the fans are what set this show apart. There are many surprises in the set list, including a little bit of "O Sole Mio" at the end of "Even Flow," Mike McCready's insertion of some Black Sabbath riffs into "Porch," and intense jam sessions in "Daughter" and "Rearviewmirror." In the covers department, Tom Waits' "In the Coliseum" appears for the only time in the tour as Eddie Vedder's crowd pleasing chant-along, while Split Enz' "I Got You" makes one of only two tour appearances (although the band's rendition is pretty undeveloped). The highlight of the evening is a grandiose and transcending take on "Immortality" which is even greater because Eddie actually remembers all of the lyrics. They didn't perform this incredible song too many times during the tour, possibly because poor Eddie had such trouble with the words, but tonight everything works, and not just in this song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate LIVE Album, September 30, 2000

By 

Pritika Chowdhry "Pritika" (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 20/6/00 - Arena, Verona, Italy (Audio CD)

This should be the best LIVE album in the recent years. It starts with "Long Road" which is a great song. The 32 songs in the 2 discs represents the BEST OF PEARL JAM. This album can be treated as "BEST OF PEARL JAM 1990 - 2000". Stupendous and outstanding collection of best alternative songs. Songs like - "Given to fly" , "Pilate","MFC", "Wishlist", "Daughter", "State of love and trust", Immortality, RVM, Elderly woman .. , I got u, Betterman, Last kiss, Alive, yellow ledbetter are some of the best ones. The recording is damn clear. Infact it is really good. I bet no one will be disappointed in buying this album. It is a must BUY for die hard Pearl Jam fans. What more could have u asked from PJ...AWESOME. I am waiting to see them live at ALPINE VALLEY on 8th October.
