This is not PJ but it's kinda cute. I was waiting to see Viggo Mortensen at TIFF. He came over to me and I didn't have a picture of him to sign so I pulled out a PJ picture and he was about to sign it when he looked at it he said "That's not me" and then he walked away. I started my camera rolling and yelled out to him "It's Pearl Jam" and he walked back to me and signed the PJ photo.
Just watched an encore screening in Liverpool. Left speechless, such a great film. Great clips of the band, some really cool stuff. Can't wait to watch it again on dvd!

I was stuck in a village in rural Portugal on the 20th Sept and thought I missed the big screen PJTwenty. Could not believe it when my local cinema here in Galway, Ireland did a "10/10/11 Encore Performance" . Really super and laughed so much at Ed's two bottles of wine influenced show at the Singles bash. And to all those fans that appeared in some way in the movie...you are soooo lucky. Just imagine sitting there and you see yourself.
I completely missed the film due to finances, and had been saving to get the limited blu-ray which is now sold out. Hoping I don't have to go the ebay route.
Saw in Scranton last night for a 96.1 radio contest. Movie was incredible. You really get to know all of the members and a good portion of the film focuses on the early days. Concert footage and rare behind the scenees footage is amazing. Eddie is hialrious and Stone welll -Stone i s Stone.
Release, Porch (Pink Pop) , and better man totally gave me goosebumps. I almost threw my hands up during the choir part of evolution. An excellent testimonial to the 1st 20 years and a film I look forward to sharing with my wife, kids, and folks to give them a better understanding why this band is so important to me.
Excellent film- well done!

Wow, I watched the movie in Budapest, Hungary and it was just pure awesomeness. Seeing me with my flag at the front row at the very last Belfast scene was just the cherry on cake... !

I have watched this thousands of times and every single time i get chills. simply perfect.
i went the night of the 20th...cool little theatre in winston-salem, nc. 10:30 showtime..they sold beer...awesome...the beginning was so frickin funny..that smile...i was alittle disappointed with some of the omissions, but it was a 2 hour movie...cant wait for the dvd...i had a gut feeling about that on monday..lucky i am...anyway, still a great movie.my opinion is of course biased, but what can you do? i was jaded for a long time towards avacado because it was being called a comeback record & binaural/riot act are my 2 favorite records...i love avacado 2, but those are pearl jams most overlooked records...all the outtakes that came out of those ...gremmie.net & gremmie.net/basement have a video from 95 to check out...best music spot out there....back 2 the movie..i laughed i cried, i felt proud to be a pearl jam fan...hail,hail pj now the king of all media...move over howard stern!!

Just watched it On Demand, I was horrendously late in getting to see it but it was worth the wait. Just an amazing movie, easily rewatchable many times b/c the music is, of course, so killer. Just an amazing band and an amazing movie, thank you Pearl Jam and Cameron Crowe.
I was at so many of the concerts they showed in the movie,(Lolla, Bushleaguer, Vegas 10th anniv, May 21st Betterman) it feels like an honor to be a fan of this band.
Saw it twice in the theatre and TIVO-ing tonight on PBS. The Andy Wood portion was so touching...no words really. The live perfromances were breathtaking, my favorite was "Betterman" at MSG...we really are beautiful when we come together! The first time I watched it, I kept scanning the crowd to see if I could catch a glimpse of myself and my friends in the crowd....hahaha, no such luck but it did make me appreciate the Ten Club even more. xoxox

I thought the movie was great. I understand why people say that it kind of glossed over the last 10 years, but for me the last 10 years have been documented much better than the early days. Cameron Crowe would have had to make it a 2-disc set to cover everything about the past 20 years. The mystery for me was always the beginning. As much of the backstory as we knew before, there was still a lot of new information about that early era in the film and seeing video footage from that time and hearing the band describe it on camera really shed some light on a lot of things. I never knew that Ed and Jeff roomed together on the road in the early days and never really grasped how close Ed felt to Jeff until I saw his eyes well up describing it. Seeing them with a boombox learning "Crown of Thorns" in Vegas before the show was cool. I wonder if any of them were thinking, "Shit, Ed, couldn't you have given us a little more notice about this instead of waiting until the day of the show?"
There was so much cool stuff in the movie that I couldn't possibly write it all down. I'm just glad to have had the chance to see them live and enjoy the music and every feeling and memory the songs stir up and hope to see and hear them again soon.
Just love how no matter what show you are at, it is UNIQUE. You can watch footage of a song and KNOW, without a doubt - 'Oh, yeah, I was there.' or, 'Nope, not my show...but damn...what a show!'. This documentary brought me to tears with memories. I was moved, just like I am at EVERY show I see. Thank you, Cameron Crowe for doing our band - cuz that is what I consider them, OURS- justice. Amazing, thank you. Gods I LOVE this band. Thank you, Pearl Jam for an amazing twenty - SO FAR!!
Caught a bolt of lightening...cursed the day he let it go....
Thank you Mr. Cameron Crowe for putting such a fine piece of art together...and thank you to the gentlemen in the band for making it all happen! Thank you to the families of the band that helped to mold them and move them toward what they did become, in all it's good and bad.
And thank you, too, Mr. Andrew Wood, for, this is true, without whom both in life and in death, these stars would not have aligned. There are many, I suppose, to be thanked and if it could be, I would thank each individually... thanked because of how my life has been so enhanced by just a few chords of music and some silly little songs! It shall never cease to amaze me, thank you! thank you!! THANK YOU!!
"Dream the dream others then...you will be no one's RIVAL!"
"Doo do do do doo do doo, Doo do do do doo do doo..."
I love the movie. Brought back many memories, especially when Stone and Jeff testified before Congress and Congress treated them like children (pissed me off at the time and pissed me off again watching the movie). I'm glad PJ took on the "man" and I hope they continue doing that for the entirety of their career. More artists need to be like them.
On a down side, I was hoping there would be a clip of "I've Got a Feeling." I love their early performances of that, especially when Ed sings, "Everybody misses Andy. We'll be seeing him in no time....." I was also wishing for more on Jack Irons and the No Code era. My favorite drummer and my favorite album.....hope it's in the extras included with the Ten Club package.

What a movie, what a band!
I loved all the versions of the songs in the movie and can't wait to get my soundtrack-especially Thumbing my way and Footsteps and Blood!
My 20 years flashed before my eyes.
Anyway, I and my friends made BENTO(lunchbox) of Backspacer to celebrate the screening of PJ20.
Please Enjoy!
