REVIEW: Pearl Jam, Live At Easy Street


I will cut to the chase. In the words of the late Harry Pearson, “plainly a piece of crap”. This is one of the most lifeless and undynamic LP I have ever heard.  The record label on side one was raised at the center due to not being glued down properly and as a result, side 2 will not sit anyway near flat on the platter, even with a 2 pound record weight!  There are only 7 songs on the album totaling 16 minutes or so per side and why bother pressing it on 180 gram vinyl (other than a reason to jack up the price)?

Yup, this album is one stinkeroo and one I won’t be listening to again.  I am bummed as I am a BIG Pearl Jam fan.  This was a total waste of $24.99.  A real disappointment.

Big PJ fan as well......" Its all about the performance "....+1 jafant.....I have several  live recordings that are not recorded, produced or mixed well, but the performances are incredible ( a few examples are Ozzy Osborne, ZZ top and Van Halen ).......a live recording that is awesome, in both sq, and performance, is the fairly new , Steve Winwood, Greatest Hits Live....recommended, if you are a fan....
