Synopsis

Amazon.com
Pearl Jam's unprecedented documentation of their 2000 tour is intended to both foil music pirates and please their hard-core fans. The concert series also underscores Pearl Jam's unwavering dedication to the performance of their own music as well as some of their personal favorites by others. This second night at the Spodek in Katowice, Poland, finds the band in buoyant spirits--evident in both their performance and banter. Beginning with a trancelike "Release" from Ten the band slowly builds the drama through a long stretch of Binaural material, before serving up something of a concert rarity ("State of Love and Trust") and an also now-somewhat infrequent revival of old friend "Jeremy." Other relative rarities include "I Got Shit" and the B-sides "Leatherman," "Habit," "Smile," and "Yellow Ledbetter," as well as joyous, affectionate covers of the Isley Brothers' "Leaving Here" and Arthur Alexander's "Soldier of Love." --Jerry McCulley

CD Reviews

A memorable show
David R. Finnegan II | Rockford, IL, USA | 03/21/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"They played the same venue the night before, but on this night, 4,000 lucky people in Katowice got to see Pearl Jam put on one of the best shows of their 2000 tour. The deliberate build through four slow songs is completely different from the usual PJ show, but once "Insignificance" starts up, it's got all the energy of their other great shows. "State" and "Leatherman" rock the main set, and "Smile" and "Leaving Here" are both tour rarities. There's 72 of these things, but #16 Katowice is one of the best."
The Odd Show Out
PJM | Knoxville, TN United States | 08/05/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This unscheduled show was Pearl Jam's chance to do something a little out of the ordinary, and they made the most of it. Using the small crowd to their advantage, they ease into things, playing some of their more subdued material at the beginning, establishing an intimacy with their listeners that carries through the rest of the show. There is a slight downside to this as it seems to influence the pace of the faster numbers, robbing them of some of their power. Overall, however, this fan favorite is rightfully considered a classic show and can still be easily obtained, unlike many of the other Official Bootlegs. Nothing less than 5 stars will do."
A Very Relaxed Show.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Here Pearl Jam are really just having fun. Its not hard to hear that at all. They just sound like they want to play for a few people and have a nice evening. They most certainly do so. Also in doing so, they create a very solid and for the most part a tight show. There arent too many mistakes or sound problems during this now classic show. There are only a few LITTLE lyrical mistakes by singer Eddie Vedder. Still its quite a great show. Theres no other Pearl Jam show like this one. Like another reviewer wrote, it is very intimate. Thin Air and Sleight of Hand are played very good tonight. Both are tight and emotional. Sweet takes on Animal, Hail Hail, and State Of Love and Trust wake the show up and rock hard. There is also a great performance of Jeremy. It actually has a little lyrical mess up where Eddie sings the pre-chorus the same two times around, but it certainly doesnt make the song worse. There are also rocking takes on Dissident, Habit, Alive, Leaving Here and Last Exit. Slower and more passionate songs like Off He Goes, Smile, Black, and Soldier Of Love are performed with grace and are incredible. All and all its an excellent live show. It may take a listen or two for it to truly "sink in", but its worth it."
