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.

I can’t. MD will not take Something I already opened and played just because I do not like it. 
Almost guaranteed sonic disappointment with anything pressed these days, especially a concert album.

BIG early Seattle sound fan. There is rare EP of PJ doing live in studio released early 90's. No audience, but band mic'ed with amps  cranked.WOW!

Killer version of "Even Flow" that makes you realize the "Ten'  version is massively processed.I have the CD in a drawer somewhere.

Impossible to play at low volume. I would love to find early Seattle sound PJ, Soundgarden,Alice..etc on wax. Virtually non existent since that was the Ceedee heyday.
