This review is from: 23/6/00 - Hallenstadion, Zurich, Switzerland (Audio CD)

Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. When you listen to 72 live recordings by the same band from the same tour, you will find that there are some below-average off nights. Unfortunately this is one of them. Like a carbonated beverage high up in the Swiss Alps, this show is flat and lifeless from beginning to end. It sounds like they just woke up from a deep slumber, and everybody in the band is sluggish and drowsy. Things perk up in a few places, like in strong renditions of the not-so-common tracks "Habit," "Brain of J," and "Leaving Here," but these sprightly moments are few and far between. I'm still happy to give this one four stars, because the performance is competent and mostly professional, with few errors. That is, except for a disastrous attempt at "Nothing As It Seems," which Stone Gossard destroys by playing in the wrong tuning. The band gives up after about twenty seconds, jokes about it, and then plays "Dissident" instead. They try "Nothing As It Seems" again one song later, and it's still out of tune, but at least they get through it. Also of note tonight is the quietest crowd in the European series, but they seem more respectful than bored. They do sing along enthusiastically in many songs, and even spontaneously break into the chorus of "Alive" long after the band has finished the song. For you perceptive types out there, listen for Eddie Vedder's loud belch in "Grievance." Longtime PJ fans will surely appreciate the way they have released problematic shows like this in the bootleg series, because it shows their humanity and camaraderie with their fans. However, if you're new to the band and are trying to decide if you like them or not, you probably won't be too impressed by this particular bootleg.

4.0 out of 5 stars A funny little story!, January 22, 2001

This review is from: 23/6/00 - Hallenstadion, Zurich, Switzerland (Audio CD)

I have a funny little story....I actually ordered the Hamburg, Germany set but was accidentally sent Zurich. At first, I was a little disappointed that I was sent the wrong CD. But after very careful consideration as to whether or not to return this set and get the one I had originally requested, it took me about 5 seconds to realize that this is a brand new live CD from my favorite band in the world...let's give it a try. Thankfully, I'm glad I hung on to this one. There are some great moments (intro to what should have been Nothing As It Seems eventually turned into Dissident after a mistake on stage by thge band). It seemed as if the band enjoyed the mellow atmosphere that evening and did a great set for all the fans. The only other live European recording I have is Verona, Italy. This being only my second purchase I would have to say for some reason I liked Verona a little better but this is a very, very close second. This set definitely worth a shot. I just want to thank the band for all these CD's, now I'm gonna be broke!. What I was planning on was one or two from the European dates and both of the shows I attended in the Boston area. If every set is as good as the two I already have, I'm in trouble. Never thought I'd Habit...but things could be worse!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not First, Twenty First, October 5, 2000

This show was actually the 21st show of the European tour this summer. I basically bought this 2-disc set for based on the setlist which included some personal favorites such as Grievance, Off He Goes, Porch and Leaving Here. The format for these discs is great. They show the spirit of a PJ concert much better than LOTL. Although I like the Verona set a little better, this is still a great show.
