8/4/00 - Charlotte, North Carolina Reviews:
The Midpoint of the Bootleg Series
2001-11-11 - Disclaimer: Owner of all 72 official PJ bootlegs. Date-wise, this concert isn't in the middle of the 2000 world tour, but the bootleg from Charlotte occupies the midpoint of quality in the series. There are shows worse than this, and many that are better, and there is a lot to say about those bootlegs. There is not much to say about this one, except to comment on its sheer averageness. There are no truly remarkable songs or performances tonight, but also there are no major errors. The man holding everything together tonight is Stone Gossard, who is basically flawless. In a possible technical error, Mike McCready is very faint in this bootleg, and he sounds rather tame anyway, except for "Black" in which he delivers even more intense and dramatic solos than usual. One source of trouble tonight is Eddie Vedder, but not with his vocals. The problem is his guitar work. Eddie is one of the greatest rock singers in the world, but he continues to embarrass himself on guitar, which is clearly not one of his strengths. Tonight he commits many errors, especially in the intro's to "Betterman" and "Rearviewmirror," and throughout "Wishlist" and "Insignificance." I have never been able to figure out why he insists on playing guitar, especially when his band already contains two perfectly outstanding guitar heroes. Eddie does redeem himself however, with the heartfelt tune listed here as "Improv" (probably not completely improvisational), plus excellent vocal performances in "Sometimes" (the early highlight of the evening), "I Got S**t," and "Given to Fly."

this one, along with all PJ's others, is a keeper
2001-03-02 - I was at the Charlotte show and it was just awesome! The way the same song's on the albums are live makes you wonder, are these guy's human? The CD has songs from the beginning of the band's start up until now, not just focused on any particular period. Listening to the suberb guitar playing just made me appreciate this album that much more.
