==Overview== ''Live on Two Legs'' consists of live performances of songs from different shows of the band's [[Yield Tour|summer 1998 North American tour]]. Guitarist [[Mike McCready]] stated that the band released the live album due to the strength of Pearl Jam's shows on the tour.<ref name="aural">Aledort, Andy.

''[[Guitar World]]''. July 2000.</ref> It debuted at number fifteen on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] album chart. ''Live on Two Legs'' has been certified platinum by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS&title=Live+on+Two+Legs&artist=Pearl+Jam&perPage=25&go=Search |title=Gold and Platinum Database Search |access-date=2007-02-12}}</ref> "[[Daughter (song)|Daughter]]" features vocalist [[Eddie Vedder]] singing lyrics to [[Neil Young]]'s "[[Rockin' in the Free World]]" (as the band continues a quiet jam to "Daughter") along with lyrics to Pearl Jam's own "[[W.M.A. (song)|W.M.A.]]" towards the end of the song. The album also contains Pearl Jam's rendition of Young's song "Fuckin' Up". [[AllMusic]] staff writer [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] gave the album three out of five stars. He said that "Pearl Jam still sounds good, but they lack the wild energy that distinguished their early years. Professionalism has its good points, however, and it's true that ''Live on Two Legs'' is eminently listenable, thanks in no small part to a fine track selection...''Live on Two Legs'' is a souvenir, a thank you to fans who have stood by throughout the years, and on those terms, it's successful."<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web|title=''Live on Two Legs'' Review|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r382279|pure_url=yes}}|publisher=[[AllMusic]]|author=Erlewine, Stephen Thomas|access-date=May 20, 2009}}</ref> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' reviewer David Browne gave the album an Aβ. He said, "Despite the band's continuing self-importance and fuzzy-around-the-edges arrangements, this set of uptight anthems ("[[Corduroy (Pearl Jam song)|Corduroy]]", "[[Better Man (Pearl Jam song)|Better Man]]", "[[Go (Pearl Jam song)|Go]]") packs a post-[[grunge]] wallop."<ref name="entertainmentweekly">{{cite web | url=https://ew.com/article/1998/11/23/live-two-legs/ | title=''Live on Two Legs'' | access-date=2009-05-20 | author=Browne, David | work=[[Entertainment Weekly]] | date=1998-11-23}}</ref>
