Live on Ten Legs is a live album by American rock band Pearl Jam released on January 17, 2011.[1] Composed of songs recorded during the band's 2003–2010 world tours,[2] it is a companion piece to their 1998 live album, Live on Two Legs. All songs were remixed by longtime Pearl Jam engineer, Brett Eliason.[3]
The album packaging is similar to the previous official live compilation. Photos of the band in concert are featured on the inside of the cover. A gatefold opens to reveal photos of the road crew and full colour reproductions of various concert posters from the band's tours of this era.
Live on Ten Legs earned generally positive reviews. "Inevitably, it's the old favourites that elicit the biggest cheers and carry greatest power…" wrote Paul Elliott in Classic Rock. "But this is an album full of great songs and great performances, confirming Vedder as one of the finest singers of his generation, and Pearl Jam as one of the truly iconic rock 'n' roll bands."[4]
The album has been described as "well-produced", but at the same time lacking a real "live feel": the album has been described as having a very studio-like sound.
