This review is from: 23/5/00 - Estadio Do Restelo, Lisbon, Portugal (Audio CD)

this set was the first of the tour. recorded in lisbon in front of one of the most energetic crowds i have ever heard on a live album. uncut and really long. eddy vedder's vocals are rusty, they had a couple bad mics, and the drum kit broke down halfway through, but really pearl jam is the only band to have had enough balls to release an entire tour (minus Roskilde) yet. i really would be excited to see other bands try this. this is why i am asking anyone who is even remotely interested in pearl jam to buy at least one of these live albums to make the sales numbers rise high. my thinking is that if this set of live albums has successful sales numbers other great live bands will try something similar. imagine bands like; dave matthews band, rage against the machine, nine inch nails, and your favorite bands following pearl jam's example. bottom line this set is an awesome example of pearl jam's ability as live artists and daring enough to realease it uncut and with some open wounds. SUPPORT THE CAUSE, BUY AT LEAST ONE OF THE PEAL JAM OFFICIAL BOOTLEGS!!!

Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. I apologize to anyone who went to this show and loved it, but when you sit and listen to this bootleg, this is not a performance to be proud of. Understandably, this was the very first show in Pearl Jam's massive 2000 world tour, and they are really rusty tonight. Despite a few winners like "Red Mosquito" and "Black," the boys are really off their game tonight. In a show full of musical errors, the low point is a disastrous "Faithful" where the band barely manages to stumble through to the end. To add salt to the wound, there is also technical trouble, as Matt Cameron's rig breaks down sometime in "Faithful." While repairs are being made, the band goes ahead and plays "Untitled" and part of "Last Kiss" without the drums, as the crowd claps along. This is still a very enjoyable bootleg, however, because of the ecstatic Portuguese audience. The crowd sings along to every single word, in English, and acts as a giant human teleprompter when Eddie Vedder forgets big chunks of lyrics in "Wishlist" and "Immortality." In between songs, the crowd often breaks spontaneously into the chorus of whatever song was just played, or fills the time with glorious soccer-style chants. For diehard PJ-fans, you may still like this bootleg just for the audience, which almost puts on a better show than the band.

When I first discovered that Pearl Jam decided to release every show of their Binaural tour in 2000 I was initially skeptical of their intentions. I thought it was just another way for them to attarct attention in order to raise their diminished public profile and dwindiling record sales. While the cardboard sleeves these albums are packaged in are not exactly glamourous and actually cause damage to the discs after a while the musical contents of these bootlegs can be a potent reminder of why Pearl Jam, even on an off night, is one of the most thrilling and mercurial live bands of the last twenty years. This paticular show is their first of the tour and of the series and while you can definitely find more musically proficent ones it is a still a good introduction to their no overdubs, warts and all approach to live albubs. A good example of this is found in Faithful when, in the middle of the song, Matt Cameron's drums fall to the ground (the band continues and finishes the song, believe it or not.) Moments such as these are one reason for fans of the band to look into these albums as much as listening to the band tear into Animal and Red Mosquito. After the "technical difficulties" of the drums are sorted out during Last Kiss the show flows pretty well until Immortality when Ed forgets the words to Immortality (get used to this, he does this almost everytime this song is played during the tour.) Also, the band struggle to find their feet on Alive (another difficult song for them on this leg of the tour.) The band finish on a high note with their perennial closer, Yellow Ledbetter. All and all, a good introduction to what will prove to be a stellar series of shows to come.
