Present day Pearl Jam is much better than early 2000's
Ok first off saying I'm a big fan dosn't provide enough....So I'm not trying to nitpick
So I received Showbox (From 2002) and Touring Band (2000) I believe, and it's almost like Eddie has no passion in his performances compared to 03 -present day. Correct me if I'm wrong but in those shows he almost seems as if he's in some sort of trance. Fast forward to my first show in Buffalo in 03 and they were amazing. Perhaps it's just the low quality of the DVD's???
The band's energy now is off the chart...In his water on the road performance you can feel the emotion.
Just my two cents..PJ is amazing just wanted to see if anyone else shared the same thoughts about the band in the early 2000's.

Having listened to a lot of 2000 shows recently he does seem almost still to be the shy frontman when talking to the crowd and in 2003 he doesn't. But performance-wise, there is no doubting the 2000 tour was amazing.

They seem to be happier today but if you want intense check out Saratoga 2000.
That'll be because of Riot Act

Take a look at Chicago. Katowice 2. Seattle 2. Seattle 1. I think any one of those setlists in present day, and everybody in attendance would shit themselves.

In my opinion...
I like you
Same buddy I went to Chicago 2000 with went to Chicago '09 with me and we were blown away by the energy in '09... '06 was better than 2000 too... Ed had a cold for the '03 show.
I'll always remember 2000 for being my first indoor show (The Ice Bowl was my first show).. but there have been better Chicago shows.
More fun.......yes
More energy......well it's a different energy
Better musically?.......No
Agree. Nowadays the concert is like a big party. Full energy and optimistic
Musically Eddie is lack of air when he sings comparing with early days
2000's and 2003's have slowly tempos in some songs
finally if you can hear some 1995's concerts you can be aware that the ambient was less optimistic, less happy ... There is some kind of different catarsis, deepest feeling, rage
I hate betterman karaoke, and daughter tag feedback (i prefer the stuff and nonsense tag)
Matt's drum sound sucks now compared to 2000, plus his playing back then is just exceptional, and is amplified by the Ayotte.
The songs all arn't played at 9999 bpm
list goes on
Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12
I can't listen to Benaroya Hall's show anymore because Ed's delivery is so boring then compared to how he sings now. His whole delivery on Riot Act was toned down. His solo tour was one of the best things to happen to this band. He became a better performer because of it.
Just listen to how he sings Man of the Hour and Around the Bend now versus 2003. So much better.
Agreed
