Lost Dogs is definitely a must. One would also have to hunt down "Leatherman" and "Long Road" (the latter from Merkin Ball, I suppose) to ensure they get all the essential b-sides. But now I am getting ahead of myself.
Yeah, that is exactly what I'm doing - listening to the albums chronologically. I'm leaving Binaural for a while, and listening to live stuff from No Code and Yield to get used to it. I'm just taking my time. Looking at Rearviewmirror, it looks like a great compliation, and when I have money, I might actually purchase it. I'll eventually buy all Pearl Jam albums, but it'll take time. I will listen to Lost Dogs after I've listened to all the Pearl Jam albums in their entirety.
One thing though, I never initally listened to Rearviewmirror, but I listened to most of the first CD on Saturday, and it sounds great, and definitely an outstanding compliation by the looks of things.
Currently, I have 'State of Love and Trust' stuck in my head, as my Computing lesson comes to an end
Good idea. PJ, although still playing great rock music, really start experimenting at Binaural and I would say that more patience with this era of music is required. I have been revisiting Binaural and Riot Act as I never gave them much attention when they first came out. This is compounded by the fact that these albums only got two songs each for the Rearviewmirror package. However, songs like "Insignificance" and "Love Boat Captain" are definitely worth your time.
Also, Lost Dogs should indeed be saved for the end and I agree with an earlier statement you made that Yield is better than No Code - although "In My Tree" is one of the best songs they've ever done.
I saw that just yesterday! (I keep checking for them everyday)
Pretty sure i will just get the two Toronto shows but I may cave and buy more.
I am just beginning to work on some live compilations for the 2000, 2003, and 2006 tours. I know there's some already out there (Rearviewmirror.com) but my plan is to also add in classic 90's tracks into each mix. It gives me something to do.
