8/12/00 – Tampa, Florida is a two-disc live album and the thirty-second in a series of 72 live bootlegs released by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam from the band's 2000 Binaural Tour. It was released along with the other official bootlegs from the first North American leg of the tour on February 27, 2001.
Overview
The album was recorded on August 12, 2000 in Tampa, Florida at the Ice Palace. It was selected by the band as one of 18 "Ape/Man" shows from the tour, which, according to bassist Jeff Ament, were shows the band found "really exciting."[2]AllMusic gave it two out of a possible five stars. Allmusic staff writer Zac Johnson said, "While the quality of the show is better than any 'real' bootleg out there, in comparison with some of the other live shows in this series it's lacking."[1] It debuted at number 181 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The song "Last Exit" was played after "Grievance", but the tape machines malfunctioned and the song was lost. A masterboard tape version of the song was added to the end of the album. "Evacuation" from this show appears on the Touring Band 2000 DVD.
