Blimey another live Pearl Jam release. Given that this is something like the 76th live show released you could ask, what's the point? Well this is a compilation of shows from 2002 - 2010 and is the follow up to 1998's Live On Two Leg's. It features fan favourites and some very obscure covers.It's mixed superbly and sequenced to appear like a full Pearl Jam show. Kicking off with a cover of the late great Joe Strummer's 'Arms Aloft' and not letting up till the usual show closer 'Yellow Ledbetter'. Along the way there's some astounding guitar from for me the best live arena act going at present. I saw PJ with Digger at NYNEX in Manchester in 2009 and it was definitely one of the best live arena shows I've seen.
So all in all, yes it's a great addition to the PJ back catalogue. On that subject PJ have announced that Vs and Vitology will get the legacy/deluxe treatment during 2011, if these releases are anything like the Ten Super Deluxe Collectors Edition they'll be definitely worth getting.
