8/21/00 – Columbus, Ohio is a two-disc live album and the thirty-eighth 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 21, 2000 in Columbus, Ohio at Polaris Amphitheater. 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 one and a half out of a possible five stars. Allmusic staff writer Zac Johnson said, "When undertaking a project of this magnitude, there are bound to be 'off' nights in amongst the remarkable shows, and, unfortunately, this seems to be one of them."^[1]
