Reader Reviews
Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. This is one of the more interesting entries in the bootleg series. For some reason this Wisconsin show was scheduled at an outdoor amphitheater in October, and it was an unseasonably cold 26 degrees. Stone, Mike, and Jeff are clearly having some trouble with their finger work, and Eddie complains about his ice-cold glass of red wine. But the band decides to overcome these slight difficulties with a gutsy and powerful performance, in order to keep themselves and the rabid crowd nice and toasty. After opening with the quiet and bluesy "Of the Girl," the boys launch into three especially pile-driving heavy rockers in a row ("Hail Hail," "Breakerfall," and "Whipping") before easing into the inevitable "Corduroy." Mike McCready seems sufficiently warmed up by the middle of the show to deliver blistering solos in "Even Flow" and "Porch." The band also unexpectedly pulls out the rarities "Faithful" and "Smile" to keep the crowd warm. In an unusual fashion, the show ends with a rollicking "Rearviewmirror." This song would usually end the first or second set before the band came out for the encore. Maybe they were planning to do another encore tonight (tellingly, this show is a little shorter than average) but they just decided it was too dang cold. No problem, as the crowd had already received an extra slammin' performance.
