Rating: Summary: Pearl Jam best Release!!! Review: I have over 72 Pearl Jam songs. But no Cd or music video comes close to this 3 hour DVD. With all the preformed songs and the two music videos(Evolution and Oceans)this is a most for Pearl Jam fans. Watch the band tour over 48 cities in the U.S. and Europe. I love this DVD.
Rating: Summary: Simply Amazing! Review: This DVD gets more play than any other I own. These songs never get old. That said, my only request is more. This DVD is packed with more songs than any concert, but noticeably missing are Release, Of the Girl, Smalltown, Porch, Crazy Mary, Patriot, Garden, Alive, Black, Soldier of Love, Baba O'Reiley, and Indifference. Sound like a good set list for a second DVD? This DVD is awesome from beginning to end. Some highlights include RVM and the It's Okay tag from Daughter, which is from Jones Beach and almost as good as the DC version. Rockin in the Free World has some kid who's like Butthead rockin on stage. Personally I would have preferred the Tampa version, but this one rocks too. Also Given to Fly has a signer on stage that everyone seems to like, but again I'd prefer just Pearl Jam. Now almost every time I hear that song I think of that signer, so unfortunately I hardly listen to it anymore. Yellow Ledbetter, played showing only European audiences, is beautiful and makes me wish I were at a concert having as much fun as they were. The Evolution video is like a mini version of The Wall. I never understood why it hardly got any playtime on Mtv, but now I can finally watch it over and over again. The sound and picture are adequate by DVD standards. It doesn't compare to the quality of Cunning Stunts by Metalica, which has set the standard for DVD concerts, but it is 5.1 digital and except for close-ups of Mike McCready in his wife beater tank tops the camera work is really good. Obviously if you're not a PJ fan this concert isn't for you. But if see them as one of the last cool groups left, pick this up immediately and enjoy an euphoric experience! Now if they'd only release Unplugged on DVD and I'll be a happy man.
Rating: Summary: Awesome stuff Review: THe DVD is the best. ITs got tons of stuff that'll keep you occupied.
Rating: Summary: EXCELENTE Review: Excelente DVD de la gira 2000 de Pearl Jam. En realidad no es un concierto en vivo entero, si no que se trata de canciones extraidas de distintos recitales a lo largo de la gira. Pero esto no le quita valor a este documente. Momentos memorables como en "Rocking in the free world" donde Eddie sube al escenario a un niño con discapacidades o cuando en "Given to fly" presentan a una persona que interpreta el tema con lenguajes de señas para sordo-mudos. Es imperdible ademas el bonus track con imagenes de la parte europea de la gira. Y en especial los bloopers y cosas graciosas sonando de fondo el tema "Smile". Muy buena la parte en que los integrantes de la banda aparecen disfrazados de los Village People. En sintesis, algo unico e imperdible este DVD. Recomiendo su compra.
Rating: Summary: Superlative Pearl Jam Entertainment Review: After collecting the entire CD collection of Pearl Jam, I decided that the entire compilation would not be complete without a DVD of the band. So in essence this DVD 'Touring Band 2000 is exceptional.
The footage is 100% supurb with the sound quality and the media quality above par. This DVD is a roundup of Pearl Jam's 2000 North American tour and they have 24 songs that was collated from the different concerts including their home city of Seattle.
Every Pearl Jam fan will be happy with the song collections on this DVD which includes my favourites 'Evacuation', 'God's Dice', 'Even Flow' and 'Evolution'. There are extra special features included in this DVD, video clips of 'Wishlist' and 'Do The Evolution'. There are the Fan Footage, City and Band documentaries.
All in all this is a successful DVD that has all of the songs that made Pearl Jam a hit. I am very happy with this DVD.
Rating: Summary: The best music DVD Review: A must have dvd for every Pearl Jam fan. To start with the sound quality is incredible, you can't help, but crank it up. Most of their best songs are here and good versions of each, particularly the Seattle stuff and the kickass Rockin In The Free World. There's no gimmicks or extra band members, just five great musicians putting on a great show. The extras are nice also and at around three hours, it's a great value purchase. It ranks up there with Springsteen in New York, U2 Go Home and the Led Zeppelin double DVD. I bought Live At The Garden after getting Touring Band, but was a bit dissappointed. If you don't have either and can only afford one, then Touring Band 2000 is the one you should get.
Rating: Summary: A big dissapointment. Review: I bought this DVD a while ago, I no longer have it in my possesion and for good reason.
To start with I really like Pearl Jam, their is no reason why you should'nt unless you don't actually like "real" music.
Pearl Jam used to be a really good band.
Their albums Ten, Vs, Vitolagy, No Code, and Yield are all very good albums each one with a different sound - and a progressed sound as well.
And their Live on Two Legs album is'nt half bad either.
But I think since Binuaral, Pearl Jam have become lazy and slack, not only in their live performances but also in their music as well and the quality of there albums.
Binuaral would of been a fantastic album (the album supporting this tour on this DVD) if the songs had been performed better and Eddie Vedder actually bothered to make a decent effort singing. The whole record sounded muffled and with no real sound that grabbed you like their other albums.
The album that followed in 2002 that is Riot Act was just as bad in performance if not worse and in fact its with out a doubt their worst album to date. The tour that supported that record "Live at the Garden DVD" was just embaressing and pathetic, and above all else they decided to throw in a giant spinning strobe ball to add to the horrendous occasion.
Now onto the DVD.
To start off with this is not the real Pearl Jam.
Mike McCready (lead guitarist) has gotten very fat
and Eddie Vedder looks exhausted and tired with a beard, and his singing is just mumbling and shouting with no real emotion.
Overall the clips from the 2000 tour are boring and the sort of thing you would want to watch to put you to sleep.
The real Pearl Jam, used to be angry and their live performances were intense and they used to sound alot tighter and into it, like they actually cared about what it was they were doing. If you want to see or hear proof in this check out the "Alive EP" or "Even Flow Video Clip"
Now sure you can't stay 21 forever and leap around the stage like an idiot, but surely you can mature as a band without being boring or lazy or getting fat!!!
Pearl Jam used to be good, but they just don't know when to call it a day and sadly they have'nt, they have sold out and have lost themselves fans and people that care about what music they are putting out right now.
Rating: Summary: Best. DVD. Ever. Review: I'll keep this short, because I've failed to do so in my reviews of the band's bootlegs.
If you are a Pearl Jam fan, you cannot afford to be without this DVD.
If you are not, buy this DVD and you will be.
My personal faves: Phoenix's 'Long Road', New York's 'Daughter/It's OK', Boise's 'Go', and everything from the final show of the tour in Seattle.
Rating: Summary: OK but please release another.... Review: Um... I'd much rather see an older live show when Eddie would actually move a little on stage and had a clear strong voice. This is pretty sloppy and boring. The mix is not great on the music either. I saw them on their first 3 tours and they sounded 1000 times better than this. You could really feel the energy and the tightness. This is just going through the motions, and not that well.
Rating: Summary: must have for true fans Review: This dvd is pretty cool simply because if your a fan then chances are pretty high that you saw one of these shows and to have video footage of it rules. I'm sure most people that saw them on this tour have the (so called) "bootleg" cd from that show and this is a great companion for it. You gotta love seeing little bits from various shows. Daughter, from one of the Jones Beach dates, kicks ass when Eddie leads the crowd in "It's Ok" from Dead Moon. Also the San Diego show will always be one of the biggest highlights of my life. For anyone who went I was the one who got proposed to.
