Reader Reviews
Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. In the third leg of the 2000 world tour, Pearl Jam had been on a real roll this particular week, with four especially punishing shows in a row, extending from Detroit on 10/7 to this one in St. Louis on 10/11. This show is a great example of the saying "Better Than the Sum of Its Parts." There aren't any especially incredible songs, none of the band members is noticeably better than usual, and the set list is dependable but not too flashy. So what's the big deal? The fact that everybody involved was almost at the top of his game adds up to a killer performance by the entire band, and this show is consistently stellar and powerful. Highlights include "Given To Fly" during which Eddie Vedder invites to the stage a woman who had been doing sign language for a friend in the crowd (this is a visual highlight of the "Touring Band" DVD). "Footsteps" makes an unusual and creepy appearance in the middle of the set, and we get intricate and powerful performances of the relative rarities "In My Tree," "Brain of J," "Whipping," and the dramatic "Parting Ways." The cool B-side "U" makes its first appearance in the tour here (it's not a Prince song, despite Eddie's introduction), and we also get one of only two performances of the cover "Sonic Reducer" by punk band the Dead Boys. Of special note is one curious omission. In the entire series of 72 PJ bootlegs, "Corduroy" is the most common song, being performed 71 times. This show in St. Louis happens to be the one show that does not contain this old warhorse. After the show, I wonder if the guys in the band said, "Dude, can you believe we forgot to do Corduroy tonight?" "Nah, get outta here, really?" But I'm sure they meant for us to notice this.
