Free Music Notes for Live at Easy Street
Free Music Review: Wowie Wow Wow.
Hit: 5 Stars
If you prefer Pearl Jam at their most aggressive, this is an absolute must buy. Seven steamroller performances. The sound quality and mix (record by Brett Eliason but mixed by John Burton) on this album is the best of any Pearl Jam live release (and they've released like 200 of them).
I almost skipped this one, since I've spent way too much on PJ live recordings already, but I'm so happy I didn't. And this version of Porch is fantastic (not the marvelous eleven minute versions of the 2006 tour such as on the Albany and Cleveland releases, but great nevertheless at about 6:30).
Tracks are 1) Intro, 2) Half Full, 3) Lukin, 4) American in Me (Avengers cover), 5) Save You, 6) Bleed for Me (Dead Kennedys cover), 7) The New World w. John Doe (X cover), 8) Porch.
Free Music Review: The perfect live soul of grunge is captured here!
Hit: 5 Stars
A 7 tracks album is always a thing to consider "fans only" and if you're not on that list, you certainly could be buying "Live on 2 legs" or "Benaroya Hall" as both of these albums are full setlists with most of the greatest songs by Pearl Jam.
Now if you feel Pearl Jam is a lot more than that this live album would completely blow you away. To start sound quality is perfect!! way better than the long bootleg official collection Pearl Jam continuously releases from time to time. You don't have "hits" on it (probably "Porch"for nostalgia) the band sounds louder than ever, but in a pristine way, avoiding any kind of useless noises that would somehow interfere with the bass guitar sound, or the drumming.
in a sentence:
Go get it!
Free Music Review: Addendum
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a PJ fan since the mid-nineties and own hundreds of their albums, CDs, bootlegs, etc. So when I say to buy this I can't help being a little bit biased.
That aside, with no disrespect to reviewer Timothy J. Mccoy, this review was meant to make an addendum to his review: Only if you purchase this album straight from an independent record store would you be supporting said stores. Amazon is not an independent record store, and Live at Easy Street was released on J Records, owned and operated by Sony BMG. Nothing independent about that.
Also as a side note, if you are a bootleg collector, PJ performed 16 songs at this show, so if you are a completist you may want to find the complete show via audience recording.
Free Music Review: Unadulterated rock
Hit: 5 Stars
A mix of covers and originals, these Pearl Jam songs have one thing in common: they rock. Taut and fierce, this live album propels from one song to the next, including classics like Porch and Lukin.Free Music Review: whoa! intense!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is what the others said it to be that reviewed this. Very intense! Not sure how or why it took me this long to find it.. but worth the wait!
Peace all..
