Editorial Review:
Description:
The first Pearl Jam full-length DVD features three hours of live and montage footage from the band's 2000 U.S. and European tours. The main body of the DVD program is comprised of 28 full song performances filmed in various cities on the band's 2000 48-city U.S. tour, reflecting the time and composition of an actual concert set list. The DVD was filmed by Pearl Jam crew members Liz Burns, Steve Gordon, and Kevin Shuss without directors or producers. An additional 50 minutes of special bonus features includes footage from the band's 2000 European tour, backstage footage, previously unreleased music, special consumer-chosen camera angles, the previously unreleased video for 'Oceans,' and more. Edited by Steve Gordon. Recorded and mixed by Brett Eliason and engineered by John Burton.
Track list: Long Road, Corduroy, Grievance, Animal, Gods' Dice, Evacuation, Given to Fly, Dissident, Nothing as It Seems, Evenflow, Lukin, Not for You, Daughter (into 'It's OK' by Dead Moon), Untitled, MFC, Thin Air, Leatherman, Betterman, Nothingman, Insignificance, I Got Shit, RVM, Wishlist, Jeremy, Evolution, Don't Go, Parting Ways, Rocking in the Free World
Special bonus features:
Stationary 'Matt-cam' footage is available with a heavier percussion mix for two of the songs featured on the main body of the DVD: 'Evacuation' and 'Even Flow' and also for 'In My Tree.' (The 'Matt-cam' is a special camera positioned behind drummer Matt Cameron that the consumer can switch to while viewing the DVD.)
European montages: City, band, and fan montages from the European tour with 'Yellow Ledbetter' live and previously unreleased instrumentals recorded by Pearl Jam during early Binaural sessions. Instrumentals titled: 'Thunderclap,' 'Foldback,' and 'Harmony.'
Outtakes of band on U.S. tour, set to the song 'Smile'
'Do the Evolution' video--animated by Todd McFarlane
'Oceans' video--never before released in the U.S. directed by Josh Taft

Imagine you've been given a carte blanche pass to follow Pearl Jam on their 2000 North American tour. Now take 28 songs performed in 19 different cities (with the band's hometown, Seattle, getting the lion's share of five songs), and capture them for posterity, courtesy of three PJ crewmembers, who formed a kamikaze documentary unit with handheld video cameras. In the words of frontman Eddie Vedder (whose liner notes are dated February 14, 2001), this three-hour DVD is 'in some ways the visual equivalent of the bootlegs that have been released in the past year... a basic document of what may occur at any given Pearl Jam concert.' Well, it's all that and more. The gritty, homespun approach is totally appropriate for the band's no-frills performance of straightforward, superlative rock & roll, and the sound recording is nothing less than spectacular, especially if you honor Vedder's request to 'PLEASE PLAY THIS MOVIE LOUD.'
Singling out highlights is like trying to pick a favorite child; every viewer will have favorites, and every choice is justified. The death of grunge is Pearl Jam's blessing. Having proven its endurance, the band flourishes in the absence of overexposure. Everyone's in peak form (we like the beard, Eddie), and the DVD's bonus features are both fun and substantial, including city, band, and fan montages from PJ's earlier European tour, Todd McFarlane's outstanding animated 'Do the Evolution' video, and three songs featuring 'Matt Cam,' fixed on drummer Matt Cameron, with percussion mixed louder on the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. The only possible complaint is the absence of interviews or backstage footage, but that's a trivial quibble. It's the music that matters, and as an audiovisual record of PJ's 2000 tour, this DVD was created with all the right priorities. --Jeff Shannon
