Boston, Massachusetts: August 29, 2000

Released February 27, 2001 via Epic, this official bootleg captures August 29, 2000 at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, outside Boston, the first of two nights there. The 2000 series released nearly every show of the Binaural Tour as a legitimate two-disc live album, set the record for the most albums debuting on the Billboard 200 at once, and moved fan tape trading into the record shop. Ape/Man was the band's own flag for the nights that caught fire, the shows Jeff Ament said they found "really exciting."

Over 133 minutes the set runs deep and loose. It opens on Stone Gossard's coiled, slow-burn "Of the Girl," then snaps into "Breakerfall" and "Corduroy." The Binaural material sits shoulder to shoulder with the hits: "Gods' Dice," Ament's "Nothing as It Seems" bending into Mike McCready's long, bruised solo, "Grievance," then "Even Flow," "Given to Fly," "Better Man" and a long "Porch." Disc two carries the encores: Little Steven's "I Am a Patriot," "Do the Evolution," "Jeremy," Victoria Williams's "Crazy Mary" and the Arthur Alexander soul cut "Soldier of Love," then "Rearviewmirror," "Yellow Ledbetter" and Neil Young's "Fuckin' Up" to finish.

This is Pearl Jam past the arena years, treating the catalogue as raw material and every night as a document, in soundboard quality. It debuted at No. 163 on the Billboard 200, and AllMusic's Zac Johnson called it "by far one of the best releases in this series."

Original 2001 pressing, two CDs in a gatefold cardboard sleeve.
