19/6/00 - Hala Tivoli, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Though it's the first time Pearl Jam has played in Slovenia, the fans are attentive and vocal, even loudly singing the closing melody of "Black" fromTenwell after the band has softly faded it out. Nearly half the set is taken from the band's last two albums,BinauralandYield, but most of the special moments from this show, such as the punky blast ofVitalogy's "Spin the Black Circle" andMerkin Ball's angry "I Got Shit" (a.k.a. "I Got Id"), go back a little further. The trio of tunes that close out the performance--"Porch," "Soon Forget," and "Indifference"--have a very intimate feel that really seems to connect with the crowd, still fired up after more than two hours. "Indifference," fromVs., is particularly moving, with the crowd singing much louder than Eddie Vedder at the end, a moment guaranteed to give you goosebumps.--Adem Tepedelen
