3/3/03 – Tokyo, Japan is a two-disc live album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam. It was released to retail stores on June 10, 2003.

Overview

The album was recorded live at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan on March 3, 2003. It is the only official bootleg that Pearl Jam released in stores from the Japanese leg of its Riot Act Tour, and it was one of six official bootlegs released overall to retail stores. Allmusic gave it four out of a possible five stars. Allmusic staff writer Jason Birchmeier said that "the Tokyo show is a particularly noteworthy one, if not simply for its retail availability, then for its political undertones as well as its emphasis on the older songs."^[1] It debuted at number 182 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The song "Daughter" at the end contains a short cover of the Edwin Starr song "War".
