5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best of this series, September 28, 2000
This review is from: 25/6/00 - Parkbuhne Wuhlheide, Berlin, Germany (Audio CD)
I've seen Pearl Jam live 4 times, and never got to hear Indifference live...So getting this was a must for me. The sound quality on this one seems better than some of the others I've bought. Lukin and I Got Id are icing on the cake for this set, which is well balanced covering all their work, and not overly heavy on any one album. This one, Verona 20/6 and Spodek 16/6 are the best of the 7 I've got from this series and if you're going to get just a few of these, then this one definitely should be on the short list!

Eddie Is a Donut, November 10, 2001
This review is from: 25/6/00 - Parkbuhne Wuhlheide, Berlin, Germany (Audio CD)
Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. This extremely lengthy bootleg is one of the longest shows in the 2000 Pearl Jam world tour, and at a whopping 31 songs it's tied for first place in number of tracks. The other three shows in Germany were all a lot shorter than this, so maybe the band wanted to give the Berliners a marathon session to make up for it. This show gets off to an incredible start, with the surprisingly effective opener "Sometimes," followed by some PJ's heaviest rockers like "Hail Hail" and "Breakerfall." There are some surprises in the set list, like rare appearances by "In Hiding" and "Evacuation," and a creepy "Improv" tune (which sounds rehearsed to me, but still effective). "Not For You," "Immortality," and "Rearviewmirror" combine to bring the first set to a tremendous and transcendent close, while the evening unexpectedly ends with the chilling "Indifference." Unfortunately, this show starts to run out of steam in the encore, with "Thin Air" and "Wishlist" really dragging, and there are painfully obvious errors in "Do the Evolution" and "Alive." But by that point, the band was understandably tired, and so was the crowd. The funniest moment of the show is in the break in "Habit," when Eddie Vedder murmurs "I am a donut," giving a possible translation of JFK's infamous "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" speech. Who knew the guy was a history buff?

Berlin gets lucky, September 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: 25/6/00 - Parkbuhne Wuhlheide, Berlin, Germany (Audio CD)
A live version of Indifference is reason enough to buy this CD. Indifference as the closing song puts Berlin in the lucky seat of the world. A rarely performed gem, Eddie Vedder's vocals glow into the air. This bootleg will be a favorite of die hards.
