On Their Way to a Hat Trick, November 3, 2001
This review is from: 8/24/00 - Jones Beach, New York (Audio CD)
Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. This show is the second out of three shows at Jones Beach, and continues Pearl Jam's mini-growth spurt at this location. The previous night was pretty average and unremarkable, and the local finale the following night was absolutely stupendous. This middle child of the New York residency is a very solid performance. It's definitely better than the first night, and serves as a warm up for the following show in which they pulled out all the stops. In this bootleg, the performances by all band members are solid and no-nonsense, with especially fine renditions of the rockers "Last Exit" and "Spin the Black Circle." The band is especially strong in this evening's extended jams, really getting a groove going in the extended takes on "Daughter," "I Got S**t," and "Rearviewmirror." The set list is rather average, as compared to the overall series, but there are a few rarities like "Dissident" and "Rival," both of which are played energetically tonight. If you are in the market for a few good examples of the American bootlegs, this is a solid performance, and is a good instance of a strong show. But it is overshadowed by the gig the following evening, which is one of the best in the entire tour.

It's OK.. It's OK.., April 21, 2001
This review is from: 8/24/00 - Jones Beach, New York (Audio CD)
This show was better than the first night, and had KRockRadio broadcasting it live. The weather was better, and so was the setlist. The version of "Daughter" followed by "It's OK" was one of the finest things I've ever heard. It ranks up there with the "Rockin' in the Free World" live from the MTV Video Awards. Good disc, good night, goobye.

PJ in Long Island 2, March 23, 2001
This review is from: 8/24/00 - Jones Beach, New York (Audio CD)
Pearl Jam's second night in Long Island equals the first night in intensity as they rip through top notch versions of "Hail, Hail", "Spin The Black Circle" and "Last Kiss" as well as stirring versions of "Porch" & "Black". They close the show with a strong version of "Yellow Leadbetter" which in previous shows had been a bit languid, but they step it up here.
