Live At The Gorge (1 Sep 2005/22-23 Jul 2006) [Digipak] [Remastered] - Pearl Jam

Advantages: All their hits!
Disadvantages: You may have them in your discography already

...from their history; here you have a fine piece that resumes the reasons to much of the success they achieved. This best of compilation, was the last opportunity for "Epic", the Sony Record Company, make some profit with Pearl Jam's greatest hits, since their long term contract was coming to an end. Indeed the latest original album, "Pear Jam" (2006), was already recorded with "J Records" (a company created by Pearl Jam) label. In the end, this is about about great memories, great rock' roll songs! Disc1: 1. Once (Brendan O'Brien Remix) 2. Alive (Brendan O'Brien Remix) 3. Even Flow 4. Jeremy 5. State of Love and Trust 6. Animal 7. Go 8. Dissident 9. Rearviewmirror 10. Spin the Black Circle 11. Corduroy 12. Not for You 13. I Got Id 14. Hail Hail 15. Do the Evolution 16. Save You... Read review

Advantages: Eddies vocals, some nice tunes.
Disadvantages: The Nirvana "connection"

...of these are little unknown bands, although the latest to try it was Staind. A slow lighters in the air type rock tune. The guitar, basds and drums all come together to bring a really strong backing sound for Eddies thoughtful vocals, here you hear the absolute best of Eddies vocals, very meaningful and from the heart. TRACK 6 - JEREMY ---------------- The most well known Pearl Jam song, opening with a single little guitar riff, this soon builds up into being a great little lively track. Again another song that is hard not to sing along to, even though the subject matter is that of a school kid that goes into school and kills his classmates, it is based on a story that happened just down the road from where Eddie was staying at the time of writing. "Daddy didnt give affection, and the boy was something that mommy wouldnt wear, king jeremy... Read review

Advantages: 30 songs, 2 CDs, rare, superb
Disadvantages: Some are B sides for a reason!

...they were made B sides for a reason right? For example, 'Dirty Frank', i know some people like Pearl Jam at their funky and arty best, but for me this song just doesn't work. And when you consider that more recent B sides such as 'Leatherman' were left off, i think this is perhaps a little hasty on their part. Still, it's excellent value, with 30 songs over 2 CDS, and the quality of the packaging is, as ever , with Pearl Jam, worth the purchase alone. Roll on June 18th, when PJ come rolling into London Town...lets see if it can live up to Reading 2006!!! YELLOW LEDBETTER TO FINISH...oh yes!... Read review
