Have listened a couple times through. I think the Gigaton songs really do stand out as unique in Pearl Jam's live catalog. HOWEVER, I think it's a bad decision that they put out a release with so many screw-ups! Eddie flubs lines all over the place. And there are clearly rough transitions in a couple songs that make me cringe.
For the bootlegs of complete shows, these flubs are understandable. PJ has a huge catalog and us fans are willing to trade a super-tight, same setlist for the random and rarely played. For a release live Gigaton: Tour Edition where they are actually spotlighting live performances of one album, this is hard to accept. I do think the songs sound very good... in spots. But just way too many mistakes. Think of Live on Two Legs!! It's not like they released an album full of mistakes there! Same idea should have been pushed for Gigaton: Tour Edition. If you had to wait a couple more legs so you could get clean performances of all the songs, then do that!
While listening, I was wondering how many major acts would put out an official release with so many flubs.
I disagree. I think the point of releasing it now was to spotlight the songs while on tour. Act as a refresher for the album given that so much time has passed since it’s release. It’s also not meant to be a super wide release like live on two legs. Like is the cd even available on Amazon or in stores? Isn’t it a limited edition thing?
I think the songs sound awesome, especially considering they were culled from a few festival shows after years of not playing live. It’s a cool little cd, nothing more nothing less. Perhaps you had different expectations but overall I thinks it’s pretty awesome. Also helps that I love gigaton 😁
You are correct

I didn't buy the CD, but I would get a vinyl version for sure.
Oh me too. They should totally release a vinyl edition.
