Pearl Jam's unprecedented documentation of their 2000 tour is intended to both foil music pirates and please their hard-core fans. The concert series also underscores Pearl Jam's unwavering dedication to the performance of their own music as well as some of their personal favorites by others. This second night at the Spodek in Katowice, Poland, finds the band in buoyant spirits--evident in both their performance and banter. Beginning with a trancelike "Release" from Ten the band slowly builds the drama through a long stretch of Binaural material, before serving up something of a concert rarity ("State of Love and Trust") and an also now-somewhat infrequent revival of old friend "Jeremy." Other relative rarities include "I Got Shit" and the B-sides "Leatherman," "Habit," "Smile," and "Yellow Ledbetter," as well as joyous, affectionate covers of the Isley Brothers' "Leaving Here" and Arthur Alexander's "Soldier of Love." --Jerry McCulley
