Not that Great

"Went to the show, Pearl Jam played a short set, didn't seem into it, and stangely rushed through songs, maybe they were tired, or had someplace to go. They left out Jeremy & Alive, which are staples of their concerts. I've seen Pearl Jam many times, this was the weakest show of theirs I've ever seen. Although, Eddie Vedder did walk onstage before Sonic Youth came on, and before 3/4 of crowd were even in their seats, and did a really cool acoustic song, forget what it was, but they didn't put that song on the CD. With so many of these CD's, you can eliminate this one, & the 24th show as well. The Jones Beach show on the 25th is the one to get. It figures I would go to the worst of the three shows."
