Summary: Great Songs, Poor Sound
Review: Pearl jam is an excellent Band, live good expression, good locations, but it is very sad that a band of this quality produces a video concert with a terrible sound quality. It seems that they were playing under the water. If you are really fanatic of Pearl Jam, and you enjoy their CD's in study, particularly I believe that I lost my money.

Summary: This DVD Rocks
Review: When I watched this DVD I was really impressed. The sound quality was great and the songs were performed very well.
I especially loved the songs Insignificance, RVM and Evolution in this DVD. The "Matt-Cam" is also great. The "Smile" part was very nice. (By the way, how many shots did Eddie take to put the shot from half-court?). I've never seen the video for Oceans before and it's nice.
The only complaint i have about this cd is that they didn't include Black (In my opinion, best PJ song ever, and the best song of the 90') and Light Years.
Buy this DVD if your'e a PJ fan and you won't regret it.

Summary: Awesome DVD, does the band and music justice.
Review: I'm not the biggest PJ fan in the world, but I definitley dig their music. They are without a doubt one of the best bands around today. I got this DVD after watching my friends copy. It is just packed full of music, just one song after another. I personaly find no problem with the lack of any behind the scenes stuff, I'm happy with the music, but that might be a drawback for some (probably not that many though). The quality is outstanding, both sound and picture. The performances are solid and the setlist is lengthy and diverse. It has a few extra tidbits that make it even more worth it.

Summary: A picture of the band at it's best
Review: This DVD is a collection of various takes from Pearl Jams last tour (that in support of Binaural). In many ways, it resembles the series of live cd's that the band released earlier in the year. The DVD gives the viewer the impression of watching a complete show (and an rather long show at that). The band roars through an impressive list of songs, and sounds spectacular in nearly all of them. This DVD captures one of the best elements of Pearl Jam: the raw power of their performance. In addition to the two-hours of very moving live music, the DVD also offers the studio videos to "Do the Evolution," and "Ocean." The "Oceans" video is an especially welcome addition to the video, because it's so rarely shown (if ever shown on t.v. at all) The DVD also gives video montages of the band (on and off stage), as well as the band's fans. The only down side to the video is that it doesn't really give any interviews of the band. So, basically, it's just music. But, judging by the rating I gave the video, music really is enough when it's this good. I would recomend this video to anyone who likes Pearl Jam (especially the live CD's). It's definitely a worthwhile addition to your DVD collection.

Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: It is amazing that after releasing all 72 bootlegs from their Binaural Tour, Pearl Jam also decided to release this DVD, whis is absolutely imperative to have for all the jamheads out there. And it is a great DVD, with the performances and the European footage and the instrumental songs. My main complaint about it is the setlist. Where is Black?? It is just a staple song played at most of PJ concerts, but they didn't include a version here. I think the Vegas version is just beautiful. And I think they should also have included Baba, and Yellow Ledbetter, which were regular appearances towards the end of the North American shows. And what about Elderly Woman..., it is also a great live PJ song that should've been included. Anyway, I guess whatever the setlist was, PJ would never be able to please all their fans. It would take to release all 72 videos as well to do so. But this is still a great video and a great gift to their fans from one of the best rock n roll bands ever.

Summary: must see dvd
Review: ... the dvd does an excellent job of recreating the incredible live rock show that is pearl jam! as others have mentioned, the transitions between songs and the different venues is seamless. you wouldn't know the switch had occured if it wasn't for a change in clothing and the name of the venue popping up on screen. and the "matt cam"...simply mind blowing! he's a madman! the ONLY thing i don't like about the video...only about a 1/2second shot of the crowd... i really wish they could've included clips of performances from the european leg of the tour...

Summary: The epitome of live Pearl Jam, setlist could be better
Review: Having seen Pearl Jam three times on their tour supporting Binaural I was eagerly awaiting the DVD and Pearl Jam doesn't disappoint on this one. The filming is a far away from rock star indulgence as you get - many cameras all over the place - far away getting the entire stage and close up on individual band members really giving the viewer an idea of what it's like to see Pearl Jam from just about any seat in the venue. The editing and sound are also top notch. I wished there would have been more of the spontenaity of a Pearl Jam show (although the transition from Lukin to Not for You is outstanding)- more banter between the band and the crowd -and some of the rare live songs and covers that the band had made a habit of performing at several different stops in the tour. Overall, with Single Video Theory, this is the definitive Pearl Jam live document. No pretention, just straight ahead rock from start to finish.

Summary: WHAT A BLAST !
Review: OK . I followed Eddie's advice to the letter : PLAY IT LOUD . Day after day . And every time I play it I get my mind blown away . The DVD does not substitute real concert-going , but it's as close as it gets . Outstanding ! I would have liked to see "Alive" and "Yellow ledbetter" on the DVD ( there's only a Ledbetter soundtrack in the European footage section ) , but nevertheless the DVD is quite impressive , both from the quality of the performances as well as from the technical standpoint . I have the Seattle 2 CD and the performance of "Alive" is the best I've ever heard so far , unfortunately it didn't make it to the DVD . A last not-so-innocent question : why not an European DVD ? I'll be waiting ...

Summary: the worlds best band on video, finally!
Review: i am from germany and i was able to see their 2000 tour as well in the us as also in europe. although i would love to have a dvd with only european stuff on it(because i think they were even better there than in the states)this is a great one. you can see a band that plays music from their hearts, there are five normal guys able to create a warm atmosphere even when playing in front of 20.000 fans. so if you like honest, good rock-music buy this one! and don't forget to watch the bonus stuff from europe, you'll see why i loved them there!
