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.
