10 30 00 Sacramento California

Reader Reviews
Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. In the 2000 bootleg series, the other shows in the state of California were all good or great. Unfortunately, this gig in Sacramento marks the low point of the American tour, and this bootleg is one of the worst in the series. The band could be forgiven for fatigue (this was the 67th show in the tour), but they're also guilty of extreme laziness and carelessness tonight. Also, this show is one of the shortest in the tour and is a good 20 minutes shorter than average, as if they just gave up and left. The band did attempt to get creative with the set list, with several surprises and rarities. The surprise opener is "Whipping," which really gets the show off to a wild start. However, the momentum is immediately broken by the dreary "Insignificance." This song usually works well in the middle of the set, when it's time to get serious, but near the start of the show it's a total party pooper. The momentum is never quite recovered, and this show descends into a bottomless pit of errors and a general "who cares" attitude. "Tremor Christ" is terribly uncoordinated and just sounds sluggish, rather than sinister like it should. "Immortality" is mostly successful but breaks down in the outro when the band attempts to improvise a little. "Rearviewmirror" perks things up slightly, but once again things break down during an incredibly sluggish encore. Even Mike McCready's outro to "Yellow Ledbetter" is dull and uninspired, instead of the blazing display of riffsmanship that it usually is. For Pearl Jam, this probably felt like just one poor night, and the bootleg series proves that they were great 90% of the time. But the people who paid to see this show in Sacramento should have demanded a refund.
