10 9 00 Chicago Illinois

Reader Reviews
Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. Not including the final show in Seattle, which contains a lot of extra stage talk, this gig in Chicago is the longest entry in the American portion of the 2000 bootleg series. Apparently Pearl Jam decided to make up for the previous night, an extremely cold outdoor gig in Wisconsin that they had to wrap up early before they froze to death. As an added bonus, this show manages to justify its huge length, giving the crowd an extra-long dose of prime intensity. The dependable set list includes a few pleasant surprises, like a majestic opener in "Release," plus the welcome rarities "Red Mosquito" and "In Hiding." Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament keep things moving tonight, giving some of their personal best performances of the tour, especially in "Gods' Dice," "Jeremy," and a better-than-usual "Even Flow." The Man Trilogy ("Betterman" to "Leatherman" to "Nothingman") mellows out the middle of the evening effectively, while "Parting Ways" and "Rearviewmirror" close the first and second sets in convincing and dramatic fashion. If you're looking to buy only a few of these Pearl Jam bootlegs, this one is not one of the most incredible in the series (in the eyes of a die-hard fanatic), but is a great example of a solid and intense performance by a great rock band that is still knockin `em dead after all these years.
