"This is generally regarded as one of the top 5 shows of the tour because of the PURE ENERGY the band had that night. It's 2 cds with 30 tracks that runs over 2 hours, and the price is not a mistake! There is no such thing as a better deal, we have truly been blessed with this band. I got this one because it was the best of my hometown's shows, but you have many many choices. I suggest taking a look at www.allmusic.com before you decide which one to get. I can tell you that it's useless to look for a perfect setlist. So they didn't perform Daughter or Alive, but they did do Mankind and Sometimes. There will always be at least one missing, so get an overall outstanding show like this one, the one at Philly, or the last date (ever?? noooooo) at Seattle and enjoy the songs that you have rather than wish for ones you don't. There is no way to be unsatisfied with this concert."

Zeppelin Rules!

"Rated the best of the three shows played at Jones Beach, day three has to be one of Pearl Jam's best shows of the first leg if not the entire tour. A long set with songs like Smile and two closers, Baba O'Riley and Yellow Ledbetter. Baba O'Riley is reason enough to purchase this cd set but an added treat to this concert is when Mike adds the intro to Zeppelin's Over The Hills And Far Away into the final set closing YL."

This May Be Pearl Jams Best Show.

"It certainly was from their 2000 tour at least. Pearl Jam were just flat out incredible at this show. They put on many great versions of a wide variety of songs. Every song is played with great energy. There is hardly any mistakes at this wonderful show. They arent really even noticable. One is a FEW missed lyrics in Immortality, but its still better than 99% of the rest of the versions on that tour. The only flub up in the entire show really cant be heard too much on the cd. In the song Smile Eddie Vedders harmonica dies. Ive seen a video of the performance to where I knew that. Other than those 2 very little mistakes the show is completely flawless. Its hard to imagine a show being more tight and solid. The setlist is excellent here too. There are fantastic takes on heavier songs like Do the Evolution, Evacuation, Even Flow, Mankind, and Go. All of which are completely perfect. The versions of slower songs like Black, In Hiding, and Jeremy are very good as well. The takes on those 3 songs are some of the best ever. If you want one of the most flawless shows from the 2000 tour here it is."
