4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, But Just Warming Up For the Next Evening, November 2, 2001

This review is from: 29/5/00 - Wembley Arena, London, England (Audio CD)

Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. This bootleg shows Pearl Jam still getting their mammoth 2000 world tour rolling, and this evening is one of the more competent performances of the early part of the tour. As compared to the bootleg series in general, this is definitely an above-average performance, but not one of the greats. The band is mostly rocking hard, and the overall performance is pretty solid, but not too mind-blowing. This show also has a rather predictable and slow-moving set list, with only a couple of surprises like the uncommon "Faithful," plus the cover of "Timeless Melody" by The La's. Some of the highlights of the evening include energetic renditions of "Given To Fly," "Black," and "Alive." Unfortunately there are a few too many errors, indicating that it's still early in the tour. This includes a breakdown in the final chorus of "Gods' Dice" and an extremely rickety take on the cover "Soldier of Love." Eddie Vedder screws up "Soon Forget" pretty badly, but this can be attributed to the crowd's off-time clapping, and this is actually a pretty funny moment in the show. Also, there is something wrong with the audio mix during much of the first disc, as the mid-range seems to be missing and Jeff Ament is almost inaudible. These problems were apparently fixed by the middle of the show. If you are only in the market for a few of these official Pearl Jam bootlegs, this one is a mostly solid and rocking performance, but it's not one of the greats in the series. However, one of the greats happens to be the following show, also in London the next evening, which is an incredible performance and one of the best of the European series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eddie Vedder at his almighty best, March 31, 2001

I had the honour of being present at this concert, the first time I have ever seen Pearl Jam live, and I can assure you it will not be the last. I will be there whenever they visit these shores in the future.

The favourites are all here, RVM, Alive, Courdroy and Go, and you will never hear Vedders vocals clearer than when they are recorded straight from the soundboard as they are on this bootleg series. I have since bought 11 of the series with the view to buying the whole collection before this year is out.

Matt Cameron has superb timing in all of the numbers on show here, and proves that his timing is by far the best of all the Roster of Pearl Jam drummers they preceded him.

Vedder delivers vocals clearly and with the passion that we have come to expect from one of the great vocalists of out time. His banter with the croud is also very humorous and I must say enlightening as I have been so used to his rants which to be honest go nowhere, and bring negativity to previous gigs.

In conclusion, not the finest of the bootleg series, that honour goes to the "Live in San Sebastian, Spain" gig, but a worthy addition to any collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars It makes you feel that you were there for real!, October 28, 2000

I was so happy when Pearl Jam announced that they were releasing 25 different bootleg CD's. And as Pearl Jam fan I got so extatic that I was going to buy them all at once. Now that didn't go as planned as I thought. So I started off by buying this one. And I couldn't believe how good the sound quality was. I have some old PJ bootlegs that sound really awful compared to this one. This gig was the first of two nights at the (soon to be) legendary Wembley Arena. And it's difficult to say how the concert was visually. But it sounds like there's thousands of people. How many I don't know but Wembley holds 72.000 people. Anyway the choice of songs on this record is quite weird. They start off with 5 songs of the new record. I guess that they wanted the crowd to hear the new stuff. Because that record was just released. There's the standard PJ tracks from all the five records as well. And after a encore break, Eddie starts to speak a lot about London as a religious place over the clouds and stuff. And he talks about all those famous people that has influenced him. From The Beatles to The Who, but then they play a The La's track "Timeless Melody". Which is really cool because I didn't know Eddie was into that group. Anyway this CD is really good and I recommend every PJ fan to buy it. The best track on this CD is Daughter. That has the now famous "It's Okay" add to it. It gives you shiver down the spine.
