Synopsis

Amazon.com

On one of their longer performances on the European tour, Pearl Jam starts slowly with one of Binaural's highlights, "Of the Girl." The Zurich show is heavy with core set-songs such as "Grievance," "Animal," "Given to Fly," and "Better Man," which are mainstays of the tour, but is also peppered with treats such as "Nothing Man," "Brain of J," "Dissident," and "Leaving Here." And if there's any doubt as to the truly live nature of these recordings, one need only listen to the false start at the beginning of "Nothing as It Seems," which bassist Jeff Ament apologizes for and blames on an out-of-tune guitar--a problem that doesn't seem altogether solved when they try it again a song later. Another magical moment captured by the mics in the crowd comes at the end of "Alive," when the crowd continues to sing the chorus after the band has stopped playing. The mammoth nine-song encore completes a performance that is both epic and, at times, gratifyingly human and prone to errors, a perfect summation of what makes Pearl Jam shows so great. --Adem Tepedelen

CD Reviews

Not First, Twenty First

"This show was actually the 21st show of the European tour this summer. I basically bought this 2-disc set for based on the setlist which included some personal favorites such as Grievance, Off He Goes, Porch and Leaving Here. The format for these discs is great. They show the spirit of a PJ concert much better than LOTL. Although I like the Verona set a little better, this is still a great show."

A funny little story!

"I have a funny little story....I actually ordered the Hamburg, Germany set but was accidentally sent Zurich. At first, I was a little disappointed that I was sent the wrong CD. But after very careful consideration as to whether or not to return this set and get the one I had originally requested, it took me about 5 seconds to realize that this is a brand new live CD from my favorite band in the world...let's give it a try. Thankfully, I'm glad I hung on to this one. There are some great moments (intro to what should have been Nothing As It Seems eventually turned into Dissident after a mistake on stage by thge band). It seemed as if the band enjoyed the mellow atmosphere that evening and did a great set for all the fans. The only other live European recording I have is Verona, Italy. This being only my second purchase I would have to say for some reason I liked Verona a little better but this is a very, very close second. This set definitely worth a shot. I just want to thank the band for all these CD's, now I'm gonna be broke!. What I was planning on was one or two from the European dates and both of the shows I attended in the Boston area. If every set is as good as the two I already have, I'm in trouble. Never thought I'd Habit...but things could be worse!"
