Review - :
The seven-disc {^Live at the Gorge 05/06} box set documents a trio of shows {$Pearl Jam} performed at {~The Gorge Amphitheatre} (repeatedly voted the best major outdoor concert venue in North America by the readers of {~Pollstar} magazine) in George, WA, near the Columbia River. Each of the three shows, which clock in around two and a half hours apiece, is chock-full of fan favorites ({&"Alive,"} {&"Even Flow,"} {&"Jeremy,"} {&"Daughter,"} {&"Yellow Ledbetter"}), including a number of covers ({$Victoria Williams}' {&"Crazy Mary,"} {$Tom Petty}'s {&"I Won't Back Down,"} {$Mother Love Bone}'s {&"Crown of Thorns,"} {$J. Frank Wilson}'s {&"Last Kiss,"} {$the Who}'s {&"Baba O'Riley,"} {$Jimi Hendrix}'s {&"Little Wing,"} and {$Neil Young}'s {&"Fuckin' Up"} and {&"Rockin' in the Free World"}). The sets are varied, so much so that these three shows are distinct from one another, with only a handful of overlapping staples like {&"Corduroy,"} {&"Given to Fly,"} and {&"Yellow Ledbetter."} The back-to-back shows from 2006 (July 22 and 23) are notable for their inclusion of songs from the album {^Pearl Jam} (2006), though only a few per show. The shows compiled on {^Live at the Gorge 05/06} are typical for {$Pearl Jam} in the sense that they're high-energy, wide-ranging in material, and long, with the band jamming out many songs to the seven- or eight-minute mark. As usual, vocalist {$Eddie Vedder} is in full command of the crowd, engaging them often with between-song banter and infusing the performances with the charisma for which he's well-known. The abundance of live {$Pearl Jam} albums released over the years makes {^Live at the Gorge 05/06} less than novel. Still, it's a great package of shows that fans will want to hear, especially anyone who missed {$Pearl Jam} on their sold-out summer 2006 tour. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
