This is the only live Pearl Jam album one needs to own.
Far better than Live On Two Legs and a step above the other 71 live releasesfrom the Binaural Tour, the second show in Seattle is also the finalshow on the tour. And, as one would expect, the band pulls out allthe stops to create a memorable evening.
The Seattle show is notable in that the crowd energy feeds intoa lot of the songs, likely because the band returned home after 10years of being together, and the energy crackles through the threediscs. Much of the music is spread across the Jam's career, hittingthe obvious highlights from the early days ("Go," "Jeremy," "EvenFlow") up to the Binaural songs, but everything sounds fresh and vital.
Disc 2 is the strongest, with a blistering rendition of "Lukin"segueing nicely into "Not For You," which then goes into a10-minute take on "Daughter." As usual, singer Eddie Vedderstretches this song out, but instead of taking snippets from othersongs, he does a call and response with the audience that is justwonderful, proving why the band has such a strong fan base.
