Synopsis

Amazon.com
If vocalist Eddie Vedder took any foreign-language courses in high school, my bet is that they were French. He at least attempts to speak a few phrases, and sprinkles words here and there (even if his pronunciation and accent aren't so hot), unlike other shows on the tour in which he basically speaks as though he's back in the States. Two hard-hitting tunes off of Binaural--the fast, punky "God's Dice" and the staccato stutter-step of "Evacuation"--are included in the set. The sweet, hummable melody of "In Hiding" is a welcome addition, and the usual improv jam in the middle of "Rearviewmirror" turns the song into a particularly inspiring closer. Lead guitarist Mike McCready makes his presence felt in a big way on this date, taking his usual smokin' solos from Ten's "Even Flow" and "Black" to screaming crescendos. Neil Young's "Fuckin' Up," at the end of the encore, is also a bonus in this already powerful performance. --Adem Tepedelen

CD Reviews

Nice long diverse show for the average fan, plus some extras
metheb | Seattle, wa United States | 09/29/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Great standard set list from the European tour with a few nice extras. Highlights from the main set are the rarely played "Pilate," "In Hiding," and an excellent version of "RVM." The encore is pretty standard although begins with three rocking numbers, "Hail, Hail," "Go," and "Once." Not an amazing show but solid none-the-less."
A Pretty Tight Performance.

"This live performance captured in Bercy is one of the best from the European tour back in 2000. Its a tight, energetic, and largely enjoyable show. Both for new fans and old ones as well. The band makes only a few flub ups during the show. Ed messes up the lyrical arrangment in Evacuation, but its still a pretty good version! One of the guitars messes up at the beginning of Hail Hail. Thats the only flaw that really sticks out. Pretty much thats the only 2 big mistakes. Theres a little messed up note at the very beginning of In Hiding, but it actually sounds kinda cool. It ends up being a good version of the song. Gods Dice and Yellow Ledbetter are the real stick outs of the show. Both songs are played a lot better than normal. Especially Ledbetter. Ive not heard a better or cooler version of the song. Its the only version I even listen to! Ive read a review of this album where they said it was only an average performance and that Eds voice was weak here. They couldnt be more wrong. Ed really sounds good at this show. AS he did for most of the 2000 tour. That statement made me wait to get this show instead of going ahead and buying it. If you happen to want to try to buy this, dont let that opinion stop you beacause this is out of print and that price may change from 20 dollars to 90! This show is very good and I recommend it to anyone who may still be wanting to buy these older shows."
