Always nice getting info about the recording sessions - something the deluxe/remastered albums lacked was a book/DVD on the making of the albums(!)

Not much, but some trivia on the drums of Animal from Dave A:

Brendan O'Brien (co-producer for the album) mentioned his distaste for China and Splash type cymbals. I took offense, and feeling my oats, when we went into the tracking room in the studio to record Animal, I proceeded to exchange all of the crash cymbals on my drum set for China types. The sound inspired a slightly different feel that shaped my track in just the right way!

    a "making of...." series including insight from all current/past members and also studio crew would be awesome. 
    Flight Risk out NOW!

    Pearl Jam should do 'Classic Album' type documentaries on all their albums (or at least the 1st 3)

    Yep, read it a couple times., however, video presentation would be great. Guess your a book is better than the movie kinda person.

    Yes, should have included that instead of/or in addition of all the memorabilia. 

    And, as I've said a few times – they had Cameron Crowe and a camera crew for the PJ20 doc. Could have done this at the same time.
