Pearl Jam

Edit

Back in the days this cd was the only official record where you could get "live PJ."

Now you have 72 official bootlegs, most of which contain the songs in this cd, but do not be fooled.

There is a great difference in the pearl jam of 94 than the one of 2002. The following is a list of things that have changed in them:

1. maturity

2. ideals

3. intensity

remember that back in 94 the band was struggling against ticketmaster, a struggle that rid them of a lot of energy. Today, even though all the songs still have a lot of meaning, they do not have the same anger or emotion that they used to put into them. Today they are not angry young men trying to raise global consciousness, but mature artists that have found different ways to express their feelings, and that have evolved into another level of music.(do not interpret this the wrong way, pearl jam is even better now than ever!)

If you are a PJ fan, this is a record you must own, because its a legacy of the early begginings of the band.
