A three night stand is a bit of a rarity in the Pearl Jam world, but any time that it's happened, the shows immediately become a part of the band's folklore. Mansfield's trilogy is always the premiere go to, but the three shows at Jones Beach in 2000 are legendary in their own right. The Daughter/It's OK moment from night two may still dominate the conversation 25 years later, but it's the night three show where the band went to all depths of their catalog to put together an extremely memorable finale on Long Island.
The big theme of this show is centered around the high usage of an album that's considered to be a favorite of the die hard fan - No Code. There were seven tracks from the record played, and none of them were what you may consider to be as the commonly played songs from that record at the time (Hail, Hail, Lukin and to an extent, Habit). It's songs like Red Mosquito, Off He Goes, letting Stone sing on an inspired version of Mankind and a late encore performance of Smile, which was not considered to be a common song during this era like it is today. The band took it upon themselves to give this crowd something they'd never forget, and it wasn't just for the fact that these songs appeared, they all blew the doors down. From Immortality as a closer, to a unique usage of Save It For Later as the Better Man tag, the kitchen sink was thrown because the kitchen sink was lit ablaze.
We'll dig into heavy discussion on all of the best performances from this show mentioned above, as well as Do The Evolution, Rearviewmirror, Black and the rare Binaural tracks for the era!
