5.0 out of 5 stars As Good A Rock Live Album As You'll Find--By Any Band, September 26, 2000

This review is from: 26/5/00 - Velodromo Anoeta, San Sebastian, Spain (Audio CD)

This is what a rock 'n' roll live album should be: authentic, raw, energetic, something to get up and dance to if that's your thing or kick back and enjoy a beer to if it isn't. All with an ebb and flow that makes it unique--THE show that was played THAT night. Real music, warts and all. "Live on Two Legs" is good, but this record is Pearl Jam live, the real thing, no Frankenstein created from the best moments of an entire tour, just A SHOW, beginning to end. And that's the only way to fairly represent Pearl Jam "live."

Hey, and in case you didn't notice, this thing costs 12 bucks!!! For two CDs, mind you--over two hours of digitally recorded live music. Take a chance. You won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars 90% Brilliant, 10% Disaster, and All Good, October 24, 2001

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)   

This review is from: 26/5/00 - Velodromo Anoeta, San Sebastian, Spain (Audio CD)

Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. This third gig in the bootleg series is a pretty difficult one to review, because it gives you two extremes. Most of the tracks are brilliant, and are among some of the finest performances of the tour. But then there are a few disasters that are just so bad they're good! After a rusty tour opener in Lisbon, and a more competent show in Barcelona, the band really hit their stride for this third show, but not without proving in a few songs that it's still early in the tour. The good numbers in this show include a majestic "Release" as the opener, and scorching takes on the rockers "Last Exit," "Hail Hail" and "Whipping." There are a few surprises like "Faithful" and "Smile," and even a pretty enjoyable blues jam that the band improvised to kill some time in the encore. Plus, you get the strongest "Even Flow" of the early part of the tour.

But this is a special show because of the errors, which are such disasters that they're really hysterical, and you just love the band even more because of them. Stone Gossard screws up the intro to "Light Years" by playing in the wrong key, Eddie Vedder forgets at least half of the lyrics to "Immortality," and "Last Kiss" gets off to such a disjointed start that they have to stop and start over again. By that point the band was really flustered, because of their catastrophic attempt at "Alive." First, Eddie forgets the first verse, then the entire song breaks down during the solo, with everybody except Jeff Ament having to stop playing and figure out a way to get going again. The fault is apparently Eddie's, as before the solo he sings the "yeahyeahyeah yeah yeah yeah" that really belongs after the final chorus, and half the band goes into the solo while the other half goes into the outro! What a disaster, but like I said, it's so bad it's good. Of course Eddie apologizes profusely for the rest of the show. One of the great things about this bootleg series is that Pearl Jam have left their mistakes in plain view, while any other "official" live album would have the glitches edited out. This is a real treat for the fans, and show the band's humanity. So San Sebastian is indeed a "very special" performance, 90% slamming, 10% horrendous, and all enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars How did they top Wembley?!?!, March 31, 2001

By 

Matthew Van Damn - See all my reviews

This review is from: 26/5/00 - Velodromo Anoeta, San Sebastian, Spain (Audio CD)

I have written one previous review for one of the Pearl Jam live series, which was the live from Wembley on the 29/05. I thought having been there live and buying the superb recording that it couldn't be topped, but not for the first time, I have been proved wrong by Eddie Vedder and co. His Spanish outing in San Sebastian is so far, the finest of all of the series (remember I have only 11, so I may be proved wrong, if so let me know any better shows!)

I had no idea Pearl Jam were so big in Spain, but they tear the city apart with this blistering set. Even when the band aren't firing on all cylinders, as in 'Alive', they make light of it, by offering the croud the oppotunity to choose the next number, and by admiting there shortcoming, and in doing so, endure themsleves to the croud even more than previously.

Stand out tracks on this album are 'Last Kiss', Jeremy, Release which has never been so haunting, Immortality and the all too absent 'Whipping'.

In conclusion, if you only by one or two of this series, buy this one, if you buy all of them, buy this one first as it is sure to sell out early!!!
