| J-Card Comment | Recording Notes: The editing performed was to minimize the spots of static, clicks/pops, and handclaps. Many of these were during the first thirty seconds or so of "Animal" and during the first minute of "Immortality", but there were many others here and there throughout the entire show (which supposedly happened during the mixing, or were present on one of the sources prior to mixing). There is also a mild glitch @ 4:13 of "Release" which was improved a little, but could not be fixed completely, and there is something unidentifiable @ 0:20 on "Black" which was could not be corrected. Approximately 100-150 pops have been manually removed. The end result is by no means completely perfect, but this version is much more enjoyable than the unedited version. Artwork Notes (spacedvest): The artwork is a 9/11 tribute, using the coincidence of the date and the band playing in New York. Show Notes (thanks to Five Horizons): Returning for the encore and yet another sea of "Breath" signs on ever single level of the Garden, Ed tells the crowd they are never satisfied: "You fucking cocksuckers. [shakes head] You fucking bitch! You know, we come up here as a collective band and we give and we give and you just fucking want more ... and you know what? You deserve it. This is like some kind of organized religion here; I've never seen anything like it. Do you see what's happening? ... the third night in a row, right? [applause] Well, fuck you. We're gonna play it!" leading to the first playing of 'Breath' since 1994!!! woo hoo!!! With a brief announcement ("same record, different track"), they follow with 'SoL&T.' 'Mankind' is introduced by Stone saying, "Well, since we're playing every song in the catalog..." 'Baba' is intro'd as being a response to "corporate rock bands who make the mistake of trying to cover a real rock song." 'Indifference' is played with an ecstatic Ben Harper (who has been including 'Indifference' at some of his shows). During 'Alive,' Ed makes four attempts to toss his microphone over the vocal monitor rig above his head, and finally gets it over, but instead of just standing there, he proceeds to CLIMB UP THE MIC CORD and hang there for the rest of the song. Possibly the best show the band has ever played in their life. Period. (And they knew it, too.) This is being distributed by blackredyellow.com in tandem with pj.sidewalkcrusaders.com, and is part of a series of the best Pearl Jam shows in existence (BTW, the spell checker is now on). If the artwork is not included, you can find it at blackredyellow.com. Compiled by spacedvest on 5/16/04. |
