 Pearl Jam: Arena di Verona - PopMatters Music Review
This alone is an admirable feat, not only because it displays the band's attention to each performance, but because it stands in stark contrast to the one-size-fits-all, semi-choreographed shows to which so many stadium bands (and, perhaps even more inexcusably, some club acts) have fallen prey.
I purchased Arena di Verona (Italy), not only because of the enormous breadth of the set, but also because Italy apparently gave Pearl Jam a rather distant reception during their 1993 tour supporting U2.
As far as the live performance itself, the songs offer more in the way of adrenaline than improvisation, so there are only minor points of commentary: "Hail, Hail," and "Animal," for instance, are too fast, while ballads like "Black" and "Immortality" fare much better, refusing to collapse under their own weight.
