Summary: Great sound, poor picture for a DVD
Review: There are some great moments on this DVD, most notably the woman coming on stage in St. Louis to sign for the hearing impaired and Eddie Vedder hoisting a boy on his shoulders to jam on the climactic "Keep on Rocking in the Free World." But while there are warm, emotional segments on the disk and the sound is lush, the picture quality is pretty lousy. This is a DVD, folks. Not an 8 mm movie. The close-ups on Eddie and the other band members should be much sharper and the lighting should be vivid and colorful. But images are soft and,for the most part, dull. The roadies who shot the footage had their hearts in the right place, but their technical skills are lacking. Still, once you get past the lousy picture quality, you can appreciate this DVD for its terrific sound and its ambition to capture special, moving moments of the 2000 American tour. Also, this DVD makes it clear that Pearl Jam has become the Eddie Vedder show. He's like Neil Young to the Crazy Horse of Mike, Stone and Jeff. The only other person on stage who demands attention is Matt Cameron. While Mike McCready's guitar licks sound great, the video often shows him looking off to the side of the stage appearing bored and disinterested. Jeff and Stone occasionally jam together but this band is hardly as exciting to watch as U2 or the Who. I love their music and Eddie Vedder is a charismatic front man, but they don't have the same energy on stage they had 10 years ago.

Summary: The best!
Review: this is an amazing video. I like to think to it as a documentary, in which friends of the band took the cameras and played with them. these people really know how the shows go on, and how the musicians behave. This is not just some payed professional recording crew, but like real friends. I've just once in my life heard from a friend how a Pearl Jam live act was, and it was on europe on summer 2000.... I had an ilussion of seeing a concert of these guys, and now I know how it "fells like" a little. Other thing, I've seen a lot and heard a lot of the bootlegs, the audiences in Europe were much more giving, you can tell. Maybe in the US shows people were colder. But this DVD captures the magic of a PJ show. If you are a Pearl Jam fan, and Pearl Jam does not tour in your country (Like mine, MEXICO) you MUST! have this DVD. Maybe this isn't Pearl Jam in the early 90's, but is still one of the best live acts! ps. dolby digital 5.1 sounds outstanding.

Summary: Good but not the greatest ever
Review: Alright, I still am a huge PJ fan, I will still buy their cds' and see them in concert. This dvd has some great aspects to it, but honestly I was hoping for a little behind the music of the band, and there is none. The only other minor disappointment was that they just played, you never get the feel of the music and it's just one song after another (not to mention they don't even put BLACK on there). I am still not upset that I got it, but I probably won't watch it much. You'd most likely want to borrow a friends.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: Wow..What a terrible DVD. Pearl Jam used to be one of my favorite bands..but now theyre the biggest joke in music history. Eddie sounded awful on the DVD and the rest of the band came off as bored and uninspired. This DVD is a definite STINKER!!!

Summary: Getting Old Drunk & Borring...
Review: Well I was A big fan of these guys, but all I see (and hear) is a borring prefomance of one of the best rock groups of the 90`s. And here I said it.. there is no more thrill nothing to put a smaile on my face, We lost a corner - stone band in the history of rock&roll.

Summary: Pearl Jam-where did they go wrong?
Review: This new Pearl Jam DVD is AWFUL. Pearl Jam is a mediocre band at best and their live performances are even worse than their recorded. Sure-the DVD has many extras but extras are not enough to make up for the bad music. Eddie has never sounded worse and the rest of the band just comes off as bored and uninspired. I heard PJ is a good live band but I can definitely state otherwise. This DVD is a real stinker. BOOOO

Summary: Very good, but missing a few key songs.
Review: This DVD is very good. The picture quality isn't the best because it was shot by members of the road crew to produce a documentary/bootleg feel. The sound however is incredible! This is not a whole show, instead each song is taken from different cities on the US tour. The bonus material is pretty nice. I went to their show in Houston and was blown away, the Grienvce from this DVD came from that show. Only 4 stars because key songs are missing: Yellow Ledbetter (covered in the Montages, but still... not the same), Last Kiss and Alive. But, you can't please everyone.. if you're a fan you'll love this DVD no less.

Summary: Great music and content, VHS video quality
Review: Hey awesome PJ music, no doubt. But the video is surprisingly low quality for a DVD, lots of video noise, digital artifacts and halos. Cops on my cable channel looks better. So minus 1 star. Buy it anyway. See Sarah Mclaughlin's Mirrorball for 5 star video reference.

Summary: Not what they used to be
Review: I saw them live about a dozen times between 1992-1994. They were one of the best live bands in the world, EVER! I haven't seen them in many years live - so I was really looking forward to this DVD. BORING! They don't have a fraction of the energy they used to. They are just stand there and play/sing. Not to mention, not doing their most electric performances live LIVE, BLACK, PORCH. But since it's their only live DVD, it's better than nothing. If they really cared about their fans, they would release something from 5-10 years ago. I would pay $100 to catch that on video.
