Live on Ten Legs is a live album by American alternative rock band Pearl Jam released on 17 January 2011.[7] The album is composed of songs recorded during the band's 2003–2010 world tours,[8] and is a companion piece to their 1998 live album, Live on Two Legs. All songs on the album have been remixed by longtime Pearl Jam engineer, Brett Eliason.[9]
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.
Critical reception
Live on Ten Legs has received generally positive reviews from critics. 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.[9]
