Here's my review of the concert that was published in The Miami Herald on 8/11/00 and posted on my web site, wordsonwords.com
There was a bit of a tailgate party going on in the MARS Music Amphitheater
parking lot Wednesday night. Rather than ribs and chicken wings, the
attendant SUVs, minivans and the like were cooking up Pearl Jam's first
album, Ten, vintage 1991.
Anyone expecting to hear the band's latest release, Binaural, or any of its
immediate predecessors, would have been disappointed, as the debut
collection uncannily echoed throughout the lot.
Onstage, however, it was another story. The night's set was drawn mainly
from later albums, with a few exceptions. The sold-out audience didn't seem
to mind. They responded predictably upon recognizing anything familiar from
radio airplay.
Frontman Eddie Vedder wore white. The rest of the band - guitarists Stone
Gossard and Mike McCready, bassist Jeff Amnet, and the latest drummer,
ex-Soundgarden percussionist Matt Cameron - could have slipped into the
audience unnoticed.
Some critics fault Pearl Jam's compositional abilities, citing their uneven
and somewhat repetitious oeuvre. In fact, there was a lack of textural
variety in Wednesday night's set. The songs from Binaural, including
"Breakerfall" and "Nothing As It Seems" were nearly identical to the recorded
versions.
Pearl Jam may be something of a throwback in these days of samples, ersatz
rock hip hop and electronica, but there was nothing iconoclastic or
anachronistic about their performance. The playing was fresh and energetic
and they clearly fed off the crowd's enthusiasm
But such journeyman work deserves presentation equal to the performance.
It's a little surprising, given Vedder's adulation of The Who's Pete
Townshend, that he hasn't steered Pearl Jam toward a bigger, or at least
fuller concert presence.
Solid Show From the 2000 Tour August 10, 2004

I think some reviewers are unduly harsh with many of these official bootlegs. Every show I've heard has great soundboard quality, a nice seperation of instruments and witty stage banter from Eddie Vedder. In fact, the live versions of songs like "Breakerfall", "God's Dice", "Evacuation" and "Pilate" make me like the songs, which I didn't care for in their original studio renditions.
The August 10, 2000 show in West Palm Beach captures the band in good spirits and in good musical form. The first disc features exceptional performances of "Corduroy" (performed in most every show that tour), "Once", "MFC" and perhaps the finest versions I've heard of "Off He Goes" and "Betterman." Glorious!
The second disc is a notch lower in quality, as the band performs some covers that don't pack the same punch emotionally or musically as PJ's compositions. However, the rather sloppy but well-intentioned version of the Who's "Baba O'Reilly" features Vedder proclaiming while the guitar intro plays: "For us. For Rock & Roll!" He then emits a Pete Townshend-esque scream and it works really well, an homage to the veteran band.
Well worth the money and a fine addition to your Pearl Jam live collection.
 They Should Have Bussed this Audience to Tampa November 22, 2001

Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. When Pearl Jam offered fans the chance to listen to all 72 shows from the 2000 world tour on disc, they would have expected fans to notice the shows that were far below average. This is one of them. The people who went to this second of two concerts in West Palm Beach definitely did not see Pearl Jam at their best. This show is full of errors by all band members. Stone Gossard and Mike McCready are beset by out-of-tune guitars and fail to pull off the intricate interplay that is necessary in so many of PJ's better songs. Jeff Ament sounds sleepy and barely registers, and Eddie Vedder forgets many lyrics, mumbles others without putting in the effort, and applies extra buttery fingers to his guitar. Even the normally rock-solid Matt Cameron, who saves many a rusty show in this tour, commits several errors, especially with tempo and timing. The errors start to pile up right from the first song, "Of the Girl," which the band barely manages to complete. Other songs that collapse into destruction include "Pilate" and "Last Exit," both of which sound like the guys are in five different time zones. There are a few real winners tonight, especially "Once," "Gods' Dice," and "Black," but these rare moments of clarity fail to save this dying show. But what can you say, every single gig can't be a winner. Pearl Jam might have felt bad about this one, because at the next show in Tampa they delivered one of the most awesome and devastating performances in the entire tour. They should have put the folks who had the misfortune to see this West Palm Beach show on a bus to Tampa the next day, so they could see the Pearl Jam that they really paid for.
 Wish I could Have been there... March 1, 2001

Of all the nights to be out of town. I was kicking myself for being out of town the night this concert occured, but now I can enjoy what my sister did under the bandshell of MARS music Ampitheater. The CDs are Great! The sound quality is fabulous, and the set is a fantastic blend of old and new. Oddly enough, I bought the Hamburg set to get Baba o' Reilly, and there it is on disc 2, in my hometown no less!The highlights have to be the thrill of Breakerfall, the "Man Trilogy" (better, nothing, leather) and the encore- consisting of last exit, evolution, black, crazy mary and Last kiss, among others. Definately recommended, possibly, with the other West Palm disc, the only live CDs you need.
great show, couple of rare songs April 23, 2001

hey, im sad now that ive listened to this cd a few times, before "timeless melody" ed says that its by "the la's, out of england." and ive searched for the original version and im sad that i havent found it yet, because it (and almost every other song on this album) is great.This cd has a couple of rarely played songs like the afore mentioned timeless melody, and leatherman, nothingman, pilate, crazy mary, and to a (much) lesser extent baba & ledbetter, i must say that pj do baba almost as good as the who did in there prime. Overall, this album is supurb and a must have for anyone in the entire world, whether they have money, dont have money, can hear, cant hear, do like pj, dont like pj, or know who they are.
