Search - Pearl Jam :: 10/30/00 - Sacramento, California

Short but sweet concert

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this album because (1) I was at the cold, miserable show at Sac Valley Ampitheater and (2) the version of "The Kids Are Alright" was one I'd never heard before from them, except at the show, fast and more true to the Who version, very very good. It is shorter than many of the other concerts, but a gem in its own right. The appearances of "Whipping," "Last Exit" and "Tremor Christ" are wonderful, welcome additions to their more recent shows, and "State of Love and Trust" is one of the most heartfelt I've ever heard, Vedder singing to a different melody, dragging out the long notes. "Last Kiss" is also great. So- if these are some of your favorite songs, as they are mine, you'll greatly enjoy this album."
