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

Live at the Gorge 05/06 is a seven-disc live box set by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released on June 26, 2007 through Rhino/WEA. The box set documents the band's 2005 and 2006 shows at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington.[2]

Contents

Overview

The box set debuted at number 36 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart with about 19,000 copies sold in its first week.[3] As of April 2008, Live at the Gorge 05/06 has sold around 30,000 copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The band's September 1, 2005 show took place at the beginning of its fall 2005 North American tour, while the two July 2006 shows concluded the second North American leg of the band's 2006 tour. Between the three concerts there were sixty-nine individual songs performed. The band's cover of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down" that was performed at the September 1, 2005 concert was not originally released on the official bootleg for that show due to a DAT error. The track is present on this release. A mistake on the retail version of the packaging lists the September 1, 2005 show as September 5, 2005.

Allmusic staff writer Jason Birchmeier gave the box set three and a half out of five stars. He said "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."[1]
