the two covers are the only songs i really listen to from this thing.. and that isn't very often either.

i still don't get what they were thinking when they chose what performances to use. or did they not put any thought into it at all?

there just isn't much here that pulls me back to the record.

I still haven't picked this up, mainly due to the luke warm response it has gotten here on the board.

I tutor a student after school on home/hospital (he can't come to school because of some anxiety). Anyway, we listen to music sometimes as we work on certain classes. I've shared some muisc with him including Pealr Jam. He has Pandora "Pearl Jam" radio on and "I Am Mine" comes on from LOXL comes on. After about 30 seconds he sheepishly says, "I'm not really enjoying this." I had to say, "I'm not either."

I like I Am Mine and love hearing it live. The solo version before San Francisco III 2006 was GREAT and I can think of many more full band versions that I enjoy. Admitidally I didn't listen to the entire version, but when I hear that Animal isn't a great version either I am just left scratching my head.

Personally, I don't think you're missing much. I've gone back and listened to it once, so I've given it a whopping two spins. It's a'ight, but it doesn't make me want to come back for more the way LO2L does. It probably helps that my favorite live versions of Hail Hail, OHG, DTE, and Fuckin' Up are on that one.

Arms Aloft is kinda fun for a little while, but nothing else really needs to be heard.

I listen to this quite a bit because it's the only Pearl Jam vinyl aside from Avocado. I don't think its as bad as the beating it takes here but it's certainly no LO2L.

it's a good compilation. I think it does a better job capturing an actual concert experience than Lo2L, actually.

Agreed. Lo2L is more of a professional album release. This one's more representative of a gig; kind of like an uber boot.

Public image on this is pretty good.

In Hiding may be the only redeeming moment on this thing.
