5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent set and a good performance, October 18, 2000

Pearl Jam's unprecedented documentation of their entire european tour provides 25 albums and for the normal fan (read not insane) that means picking and choosing between the albums. This particular concert does seem to stand out of the 25. It has an excellent set list, with songs ranging from newer stuff like "Sleight of Hand" and "Of the Girl" while also playing earlier songs not found on many of the bootlegs including an excellent version of "Garden" and also "Rear View Mirror". The album also includes a cover of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World", a Pearl Jam encore traditional. This is also one of the longest bootlegs, giving customers more bang from their buck. Finally, the crowd is everything that one could ask for, enthusiastic, present, but not interfering with the music. Vedder even stops to note that the fans are "some of the best singers in the world." It's everything you could want in a concert: a great crowd, a great set, a great band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable, September 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 22/6/00 - Fila Forum, Milan, Italy (Audio CD)

All i can say is this cd is unbelievable! i have purchased 3 of the pearl jam bootlegs and this is the standout. its setlist is terrific, the solos are great, and the quality is beyond impressive. makes you feel like you are there at the show. another reason to buy milan is for the crowd. i usually find crowds to be annoying on bootlegs, but they help spark the band's performance. on daughter, the crowd starts up a 5 minute chant between them and eddie. it gives me goosebumps to hear it every time i listen to it. i don t know if this cd is for everyone (ie non pearl jam fans), but if you are a fan of the band, definately get this one! it is one of the band's 6 favorties for a reason. this is a standout show. as close to perfection as a live performance can get.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Extra Long and Extra Strong Performance, October 31, 2001

Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. Not including the lengthy tour finale in Seattle, which contains a lot of extra stage talk, this show in Milan, Italy is the longest gig in the entire bootleg series, at a whopping two hours and twenty-five minutes, following another very long show in Verona the previous evening. Unlike some of the other very long shows in the series, the band actually manages to keep the intensity level up during the entire evening, and this show is a non-stop powerhouse. This is clearly one of the best shows of the European portion of the tour. Some highlights of the evening include punishing takes on the rarely performed rockers "Gods' Dice" and "Rival," a flawless performance of "Garden," which was mostly a disaster in its other European appearances, and probably the strongest and sharpest European takes on "MFC" and "Grievance." The band tackle some of the more challenging material from **No Code** and deliver tight performances of "Present Tense" and "Smile," strong tunes that are performed very rarely throughout the tour. Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" appears for just the third time to close the show in a climactic and convincing matter. Mike McCready and Stone Gossard are both especially strong this evening, and Eddie Vedder is in a weird mood, explaining the origin of "MFC" (a car he fell in lust with), and stating that the band didn't play Rome on this tour because the Pope won't leave. Take it easy there, big guy!
