Classic Album Review: Pearl Jam | Benaroya Hall: Oct. 22 2003

How many Pearl Jam live discs does a fan need? At least one more, it appears.

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Yes, it’s another Pearl Jam live album. But no, it’s not like their other 700 live albums.

For one thing, it’s an intimate, unplugged, home-town performance. For another, the set list is geared toward mellower, moodier fare like Low Light, Think Air and Daughter. For a third, Eddie and the bruisers deliver winning covers of Bob Dylan’s Masters of War and Johnny Cash’s 25 Minutes to Go, along with another version of Victoria WilliamsCrazy Mary. And for a fourth, part of the proceeds goes to charity. So how many Pearl Jam live discs does a fan need? Well, at least one more, it appears.
