At least somebody thinks so.

I will probably never listen to it again.

cmon bro it ain’t that bad! just toke up a bit and rodlax!

I've haven't gotten my vinyl yet, but I listened to the CD, and I love this show. For a person who doesn't buy every Vault release, I'm pretty happy with this purchase.

Got it for Christmas this morning. So looking forward to it.

Well, you have to think about it this way...

At my age and at my level of busy-ness, I no longer have the desire to sit down and listen to any random, average Pearl Jam show. I have a folder of outstanding shows....for example the 2000 folder has Katowice, Saratoga, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boise, Seattle 2, etc....I can't be bothered to listen to average shows anymore.

And this vault release is one of those shows where if I had access to the entire tour, it would go straight into the recycle bin.

So it's slap in the face (IMO) to wait months or even years for them to throw us a friggin' bone and it turns out to be an average or even possibly below-average show that I wouldn't even hang onto.

It's a complete mystery to me as to what they are thinking. I can't help but wonder if it's a situation like with that horrible NIRVANA "Rarities" box set, where the band members couldn't be bothered and handed it off to some douchebag manager or assistant who knows next to nothing about what they are doing.

What makes you think the band knows what they're doing?

That's totally cool, but you should probably check out more vault releases if that's the case. This is easily the weakest Dave A. show they've ever released officially.

rank the Dave A vault releases!

Just finished the first disc. Fuck, I miss this band.

If they put it back in the store I want to snag Vegas.

It's your lucky day!

I have all the vaults on CD. I'm talking vinyl.

Finally got around to giving this a spin today. Loved the loose vibe to most of it. Reminded me that this was a band who used to play with passion without trying to turn every song into some sort of sing-along frat party song.
The whole thing just has a great vibe

In summing up it's the constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's law, it's the Vibe and, no that's it, it's the vibe. I rest my case.

My thoughts as well. Being home for the holidays, I’ve been using my mom’s car to get around. She has Sirius Radio (I don’t) so I’ve been able to flip over to PJ Radio a few times to see what it’s all about. Each time it’s in the middle of some late 00’s drawn out super extended, kinda unnecessary jam. If I had my eyes closed, I would have no idea what song it was at all. TOO jammy. I liked when they would do a smaller jam but you still knew what song you were listening to, it was still in the song frame. Now it’s like, “I dunno, this could be an instrumental cover of a Kiss song in the middle of Not For You for all I know”

Jousting sticks! Tell 'em they're dreaming.

One time through over multiple days and this is extremely refreshing to me. Fantastic release.
