This chapter of Pearl Jam's grandiose scheme to foil pirates and charm their hard-core fans by releasing complete documentation of their 2000 tour finds the band a bit more ragged and raw than on the first night of their Wembley Arena stand, but that only adds to the drama. No Code's "Sometimes" kicks things off gently, segueing into an eclectic mix of old and new (including a manic "Grievance" from Binaural). Eddie Vedder's in a good mood, despite being whacked by Mike McCready's errant guitar; small wonder, as the latter's axe is in particularly free-spirited form this night, riffing with energy and soloing with particular abandon, breathing fiery life into new ("Nothing As It Seems") and old (the resurrected staple "Evenflow") alike. A great mix of music, heavy with an unusually large number of songs from No Code, performed with an often edgy abandon. --Jerry McCulley

 Head-Bashing and Spine-Tingling October 23, 2001

Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. This second show in London was the fifth overall in the tour, and shows the band seriously hitting its stride on its way to a long, triumphant road trip. This gig has the most interesting set list among the earlier dates, and features a tight, energetic, and error-free performance by all band members. This show's joke from Eddie Vedder is his story of how Mike McCready bashed him on the head with his guitar - apparently revenge for an incident eight years earlier. The opener "Sometimes" appears for the first time in the tour, and you'll be surprised how such a quiet, brittle song can be such an effective opening for a hard rock concert. Other key numbers in this show are powerful takes on "Hail Hail," "Dissident," and "Not For You" (which has an extended and moody closing). "Immortality" ascends to Zepplinesque heights, and Eddie even remembers most of the lyrics, which is a rarity for this song (poor Eddie had a lot of trouble with this one on the tour). What truly sets this show apart are the final two numbers. This performance of "Black" is among the best in the entire series, as the crowd starts singing the song's backing vocal ("tootoo too too tootootoo") while Mike is soloing, and he in turn accompanies them, stretching the song out to nearly eight minutes. This is a truly spine-tingling and emotional moment. The band then closes the show with a powerful and dramatic rendition of "Alive" - the only time this song was used to close a show in the entire tour.

This is a superb live recording. The sound quality is excellent. Throughout the entire concert, there is only one point where one channel goes out for an instance. Remarkable, considering the complexities involved with recording a live performance. The audience is receptive, singing along with band. And why shouldn't they? The band is tight but loose; Mr Eddie Vedder is always "on" it seems; on this night, Mr. Mike McCready (g) is energised and gives an inspired performance. There is a bit of stage humour as Mr Vedder reports on a collision with Mr. McCready. He makes an oblique reference to Sally Simpson from TOMMY by the WHO. Mr Vedder & Co. create a comfortable atmosphere in which I feel I'm right there on stage with them, even though, deep down in my heart, I know that me and Eddie are worlds apart. But never mind that now, just listen to the CD. ;D If you are interested in superb live performances or in Pearl Jam this CD will be interesting to you.

I have a lot of respect for the guys of Pearl Jam releasing all of these live shows officially, mistakes and all. But there in lies the charm of the discs. It feels like you're there. This one is no exception, featuring loads of great songs spanning the two discs, including past hits like Even Flow, Alive and Black. And some of the bands newer material. I'd definatly recommened this to any intrested Pearl Jam fan.
 Show 5 lookin Alive October 12, 2000

This is the first "official" bootleg I've ever owned. I stumbled onto this one at a certain large "Mart". Suprised to find it although I was hoping too find one of the 25 after hearing about these boots in a certain national newspaper. Wembley Arena Day 2 is a good starter as its the fifth show in the tour and you start to hear things coming together. None of the songs could really be called obscure, but this has a little something for everybody. Vedder gets retrospective with Mike McCready after a few choice words for an earlier collision with Mikes guitar. Vedder on McCready: "so he pulls me into the bathroom, 'come here,see that(to Vedder), that's the Warfield San Francisco, eight years ago, so you did it to me too.'" There are a few mistakes: intro to mfc Vedder sings "got some car" and quickly mumbles "got A car". One of the higher points is McCready's solo in Evenflow, and the drum solo at the end of immortality by Matt Cameron. The show ends with near perfect versions of Black and Alive. Overall probably not the best of the 25 shows, but remarkably together for being only the fifth show since the 98 tour.
A little better than average. November 21, 2006

I thought this show in London was better than their previous night there, I think it has one of the better versions of Black which the crowd really gets into towards the end of the song, Eddie isn't very talkative but for the most part he seems in a good mood and Matt is having a more fun tonight with the drums ecspecially on Immortality which Eddie remembers most of the lyrics, all in all its a good show better than average but not their best European show.
