I got there first album right when it came out and I have loved everyone after that.  They get a new sound on every album and they seem to pick a great one every time.  I really like this band there one of my favorites.  Take a listen to "Grace Kelly Blues" and "It's a Mother  F#&!@R"

To paraphrase my other review "The female vocalist has an excellent, powerful voice, the band is extremely talented, and the orchestral arrangements are truly classical and very well done."

They are also very good live. The singer sounds the same (good and powerful), which means a lot to me. The keyboard, drummer and guitar players are all top notch, and the bass player is one of the best I have seen and heard of late.

As manny know, this style of music has its own formula requirements. It's not normally for me but I can get through that for the vast amount of great music this group puts out.

These guys have a great thing going for them, went to a show of theirs at slims three weeks ago and wow was it awesome.  They have a great sound, and you will not be disappointed in this album.

Steve the drummer rocks!!

I have loved them for around 4 years now and seen them live twice.  Both times have been incredible, best live show ever.  I purchased this CD at the last show and put it in my CD player after the show.  I was astonished at how far they have come from FGWSS.  This is the creme de la creme for them so far.  Shut Me Up is the CATCHIEST song on the album.  2 h**kers is great as a studio track. Straight to Video is a good trance song and is a good dance song too.  The cover of RUSH's tom sawyer is even better than the original, and i enjoyed the bruise i got in a moshpit during it when it was live.

The concert couldn't be any better. The guys are tight and fully on. Interesting contrast with the included SNL performances where if just doesn't work at all. The story alledgedly is that they had great rehearsals at SNL but partied all week and when Saturday night came round the magic was gone. I was glad to get to see the SNL performances, though for historical reasons.

Mick's vocals are outstanding.

I have seen this band perform live 3 times in 1990. Two times by accident, one time because the first two times were so amazingly good, I just had to see them again. They really rocked, then. I wonder what happened? Why haven't they become bigger then U2?

This CD is great. Every song. To think that they are (were) even better live. I especially liked their covers of ABBA-songs. As I recall, they played "Ring Ring" and "Does your mother know?". And that was before it was fashionable to like ABBA, again.

This album like all or their albums is one you hit play on and never even consider skipping ahead. I bought this album without hearing a single song off the album, I just knew it was going to be great, not disappointed at all. I highly raved about their last album Shame Shame, but found myself not liking it as much as I first initially thought- I thought it was superior to Fate, but after much thought, Fate was the better album. This album I will not try and elevate it to that standard yet, because it is still new. I love this band and have seen them several times live and look forward to seeing them again next week- they have the best live show of any band nowadays. There is such an intimate raw sound to their music that is reminiscent of the Band, they have such a great live show that when you leave you look forward to seeing them again, last time I almost drove 300 miles to see their next show. I say all of this because this album really captures their live sound really well, I suggest you buy this album and then go buy the rest of their albums you will not be disappointed.

I've enjoyed Alasdair Fraser since his first recording and I've seen him in person many times.  He was great the first time I saw him and he just keeps getting better and better.  He has teamed with quite a number of musicians over the years, but teaming up with Natalie Haas was a stroke of genius.  They are two of the most talented musicians you'd ever want to see and as a duo they are stunning.  I want more and more of them.

This PBS performance was absolutely amazing.  I heard this show from the 6th row and it was breathtaking.  This band sounds like 2 or 3 bands playing at the same time.  With all of the talent on stage, it is hard to  focus on just one artist.  It is amazing how each member pushes the other  members to play better.  They are almost competing with each other on  stage.  I have been to over 10 shows and this was by far, the best  performance yet.  The setlist is not nearly as good as Red Rocks, but the  delivery of the setlist at PBS is better by far.  Great intro to the show,  nice little tease to #40 and great version of Dillon's All Along the  Watchtower to end the show.  A MUST HAVE, both the CD and the Video.

Make no mistake about it, the studio efforts from this group present the initial readings of their songs. But none of them come to life with the same urgency, warts and all, as they do in a live context.
I like Live CDs for the same reason that I like live shows - there is an energy there that is never in the studio, and that's what music is about in any discipline. You absolutely need a dialectic between the audients and the musicians, both actively engaged, for anything like Music to lean over and take all and everyone into its confidence. LSO in the classical world do only live CDs and they are always among the best each year.
In the case of Pearl Jam, they are meant to be heard live and certainly few other artists give you so much in quantity and quality. That said, I wouldn't suggest listening to these straight through. You'd be better served with a significant break between each date. The initial September show is spectacular - one of their very best. The succeeding July shows are each enthusiastic roars for the home town crowd, and there is an abundance of commitment from both sides of the mic on display. I can hardly wait for blu-ray editions of this Band's work.
I have no favourites among the discs or the songs, they are all delivered witha  sense of urgency. The musicianship is stellar throughout. Yet each time I hear them do Young's "Rocking in the Free World" I sincerely wish that they would collaborate again. There is an absolutely hillarious anecdote that Vedder tells on the Sepetmeber disc, but we'll leave that for you to discover.
All in all, a constant trajectory of superb performances continues from thsi band, and no matter how many times I hear them do a particular song, I seem to find something else interesting in each performance.

I've seen Human Nature twice in Vegas and once at a venue closer to home and never get tired of the energy and stage presence they bring to every show. This tape is like having the experience of their shows over and over again. If you've seen Human Nature and love their sound then this is a must have.

It's so great to have all the music on one cd rather than having to turn a record over for side 2 then change records and then have to flip that disc over for side 4. The quality of the music sounds great on my 200w, 1980's amp and speakers. At the time this album first came out I was impressed with the horns as it was new for the rock sound. Their music is tight and always well performed.

A truly fantastic show.  The band was playing in front of a huge crowd at Chicago's Soldier Field (and using a stage left at the venue by the Grateful Dead).  The is actually the first live Pearl Jam album I've heard that features Jack Irons on drums.  He sounds a bit nervous during this show, and his drumming is often fussy and sloppy, which is not at all typical.  The guitar playing is stellar, and Eddie is in fine voice throughout the very generous performance--this was a long show.  It's also nice to hear a live document from 20+ years ago to measure against the flood of bootlegs, official and otherwise, that have become available since to hear just how much better Pearl Jam have gotten as a band.  The playing has gotten both tighter and more elastic.  They've really progressed as musicians and a unit.

This isn't a bootleg recorded at the show, but a recording of the live radio broadcast the band provided to the city of Chicago.  The sound quality isn't terrific, but it's not distracting.  As an artifact of the band at a specific time (in the aftermath of the fight with Ticketmaster, working on material that would become the No Code album, being a huge band at the peak of their powers but part of a fading musical community), it's a terrific piece of their history.

Every song is a winner ... very catchy and, as always, great performances from everyone in the band!
