Free Music Review: A nice little addition to your PJ collection...
Hit: 4 Stars
This a cool little LIVE EP from Pearl Jam... taking shots from Ten, No Code, and Riot Act, and also including a few rare covers I've never heard before. It truly pains me to rate any PJ item less than 5 stars, but I have to be honest, as biased as I tend to be. I feel they should've included atleast one or two songs from their latest LP, PEARL JAM. And I also think it could have been a little longer. Also to note, there is actually an "Intro" track (#1) before the set begins, making it a total of 8 tracks and not 7. The point being, don't go by the listed track #'s on the sleeve, they're off by 1. This however is a minor mistake easily forgiven and forgotten about if you're a true PJ fanatic like myself. When you love a band to no end and only see them in a "perfect" light, you tend to expect everything else to be perfect as well. All that being said, this is a fun little addition to your collection. I particularly liked the "Porch" version... different from the original that was recorded 17 years ago. This is the version you hear on Pearl Jam's latest DVD offering, Imagine In Cornice. The rare covers add an interesting touch as well. For the price, I don't think you'll be disappointed.Free Music Review: Great mini-album.

A good live EP of Pearl Jam tearing it up at Easy Street Records in Seattle. In recent years, Pearl Jam have gotten something of a second wind in their live performance; footage from their most recent tour shows the band as energetic as they were in the early 90's; a step-up from the hit and miss performances of the early 00's. This particular release captures their current energy well. A solid selection of tunes from a great set.
But twenty four dollars? Good lawd, that's a lotta money. The now OOP domestic release cost me seven bucks when it first came out. I'd recommend finding a better deal before shelling out $20+ for this. Or just download it.
Free Music Review: So cool to stumble on this
Hit: 4 Stars
We have been spoiled with a wealth of great Pearl Jam stuff lately with the new album, the VH1 Storytellers show and this.
The Pearl Jam songs are of course wonderful but I love the covers. These guys are my age so when they pull out covers of rockin' songs from my youth (Clash, Who, Split Enz, etc.) I get excited. I never thought of Pearl Jam as a hardcore band but Bleed For Me totally works and reeling in John Doe for a cover of New World is genius.

When i looked at the set lists for this i was a little disappointed. But after listening to it i was pleasantly surpised. The sound quality on this EP is much better than most bootlegs i've heard. It features 3 cover songs never released before and 4 other pearl jam songs. Highly recommended if you are a big pj fan like me.
Hightlights include: bleed for me (originally by the Dead Kennedys), and Porch (a superb version of this)
Free Music Review: Good stuff

This EP is a nice addition for any collector of Pearl Jam, some rare cover tunes here and a surprised audience as well. Also when purchasing this you are supporting independent record stores as this is not on sale at Best Buy etc.
