The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I don't get what's so popular about this tour. I often hear songs from it and they're especially bad versions of the songs. Songs like Even Flow are lightning speed and tinny and Ed sounds awful. The guitars are clangy and there's no warmth. I hear live versions from 2006 where everything is quick and bombastic and sounds great, but the 2000 ones are just too cold to me, and everything sounds the same. I don't know. But I also don't like Binaural much. I don't like Riot Act either but love the 03 tour when I hear boots.
I mostly bring this up because I recently did that setlist generator thing on the PJ website and it put in live versions from 2000 like Even Flow and Daughter and they sounded really bad and completely broke the flow.

Other than a few really good changes/extensions, the band plays the songs very straight on this tour. At least from a recording standpoint, and having attended two of the shows, it also is sort of the last tour where the songs from Ten through Binaural have that edge where there’s no sense of celebration behind the better known tracks. It never feels like a party, and more like a band driving their music forward. Even as soon as the Riot Act tour, the Ten/Vs./Vitalogy songs feel like an ode to a prior live era. I don’t know if that’s for better or worse.

I agree with this...most of the material from Ten to Vitalogy sounds restrained...i mean they actually played very short versions of Porch for example.

Worse. It's for worse.
100%
I think the high point of Pearl Jam playing with that sort of original energy is the Yield tour. It seemed like they just had the secret sauce that tour, and that everything seemed fair game.
As far as the future tours would go, I love those shows with the same fervor, especially for me from 2003-2010, but get that it sort of went to a more celebratory mode, especially in the encores. I also really enjoyed the shows I heard mostly in 2016 and 2018. And that Leeds show in 2014 that is streaming is really great, but in an entirely different way. I sort of grew with them over the years from wild to that controlled intensity to the celebrations to the anything goes somewhat sloppy to what seemed like mostly upping their game in 2018.

You're kidding, right?
The guitars lost their bite and became wimpy and vanilla after 2000.
And Europe 2000 was the last time the bootlegs ever sounded "warm".
