pearl jam - live in nyc 12/31/92

[rone]

I ordered the new Pearl Jam CD on their Web site before its release; this came with my purchase as a bonus.  In general, i'm not a fan of live CDs; i can't say what makes one live recording work for me versus one that fails.  I'd purchased PJ's Live on Two Legs and i dumped it after a couple of weeks because it just seemed flat.

This is not flat.  This is a very young Pearl Jam, still full of piss and vinegar.  There's a fast version of "Wash" that starts things out, and they play "Oceans", which is one of my favorites and —in my opinion— definitely underrated, and they close the set out with "Porch", another favorite.  Two thumbs up.

That's how I feel about the new Neil Young CD. I've been listening to it streaming live ... it's raw and pissy. Not bad for an old geezer.

I just listened to some of the live pearl jam...they rip "marky mark" Wahlberg and madonna after the first song, that's so dated and funny. Then Eddie totally messes up the words to "Daughter", this was before he sang that song fifty thousand times. I do like the new cd as well, but haven't listened too often yet.
