I didn't get a chance to buy the deluxe DVD before it sold out. Since you think it sucks I would be happy to buy it from you. PM me.

Finally recieved the deluxe DVD set. Soooo excited to get totally immersed in Pearl Jam after seeing them at Alpine for two days. The first disc being the actual movie, was good I would say, but definately not the scope of twenty years. Maybe the first ten at best. I did appreciate the rare glimpses into the early years. However, this band's coming of age is much more to me than making it through some early drama. Where is the story about the growth and creative process that has contributed to each new album since Vitology? What about the many other artists that Pearl Jam has toured and developed such endearing friendships with? There were some great points made with regard to their touring prowess made in "The Fans Are Alright" disc that should have made it into the movie. Soooo many people out there have no idea how great their albums and concerts have grown since Vitology and this film squanders the opportunity to showcase the true breadth and meaning this band brings to the dedicated fan. In other words, it could have been produced in a way that would show people what they have been missing out on all these years. The second disc, The Kids Are Twenty, was nothing more than a repeat of the concert footage shown in the film :( The third disc, The Fans Are Alright, was almost better than the movie itself. It did a great job of highlighting what is truely at the heart of why this band is more successful worldwide than it ever has been: Pearl Jam is a touring powerhouse and genuinely connects with their fans like no other current band does. PJ20 is a great film for those who only know Pearl Jam as the "90's grunge band". For me, this movie was fun only in the sense that I constantly crave to hear or see anything Pearl Jam. I look forward to seeing the next documentary which really digs into the heart of who this band is and what exactly goes into their creative process with each new studio session.

I got fucked on the deluxe dvd but i broke down and bought the regular dvd, (last one in my indie store and came with a cool extra!)..... good movie for newbies... two of my friends actually dug it... and are kinda now a little interested in pj, musicians too... but I agree with your post for the most part..

That's not all that disc was. Sure, it had the complete performances of the film included, but also in between most songs were scenes not included in the movie. You also get to see the Bridge School performance of Walk with Me, and after the credits you see the band going over what to play for an encore and then a really well shot performance of Of the Earth.

Also the bonus features show the first time Ed started climbing at a show and his commentary on it, Mike talking about Shadow along with some concert footage, and a video of a fan tackling Eddie during a performance of Even Flow.

I'm sure this has already been mentioned; but, Given to Fly in the Fans are Twenty is from Verona, not from Pistoia.

I miss being back in Toronto for that weekend, watching this with yas in that second screening.

Or it woulda been the premiere, if I was a little smarter. Either way, miss being back in Toronto. Watching it alone at home just isn't the same.

that's not a review, it's a blog.

i follow simon sweetman on fb, for my sins - he is so mean about pj -and eddie- it makes my blood boil! the link above is to a blog in response to simon's annoying blog about pj20 (which you do not want to read). today simons blog was about 'instruments you hate' - when i saw the title i just knew it was an excuse for him to have a dig at uke songs. i was right.

sorry, this is off topic. i haven't seen pj20 yet. when i do, i may post something here. or i may not.

Pearl Jam 20 brought back memories from my teen years. It was a great film. Looking forward to another 20 years.

I loved it! just got my deluxe copy on Wednesday and went straight to The fans are alright... it was brilliant, i just loved the fans speaking and their passion shining through, and they said things exactly how i felt yet so much better! The second guy who was the Dr. dude (sorry mate forgot your name) he was just brilliant, i made my best friend watch that part (non pj'er) to to show her the craziness and love we fans feel for the band, she thought it was very funny as well as a great explination and she said "god, its just not you, you are all like it" then she said "maybe you are not as crazy as i thought, or there are a whole lotta crazies out there too" of course it was said with love... anywho he was great, the disk was great and i thought it was a great touch for the fans The one and only critisism i have well not so much that.. one thing i wish they would have shown was the full version of bugs live, but beggers can't be choosers

The kids are Twent was good too...all in all i thought it was a great movie, great extras from a band we all love dearly.

The Of the Earth "Jam" session at the end of the disk is amazing, plus Mike's acoustic Given To Fly without vocals.

WELL SAID E.K. - That "Of the Earth" clip is THE musical highlight to me - takes me back to Cream, Hendrix days ... sounds awesome, the players are concentrated SO much, probably from the newness of playing the song - Mike appears most affected - but what struck me most was how good the band sounded with that song, and the feel of the song...makes me think I've underestimated them as musos (and I'm not a muso)...and this opinion is from ONE viewing only... I now understand the strength of thoughts on other threads about how good this song is!

oul wan behind d counter

Anybody know why Boom didnt have any part in the movie really??

your move now

I think this has been questioned on a couple of different posts... he's not really considered an official part of the band more just a member of the touring group

Do you ever get up to Byron for Bluesfest? I've been going since we moved up north from Sydney 3 years ago. Lineup is great so far for next year. I think you'd enjoy it.

Have thought about it, yeah, but doubt I'll be there...good line-up there but the only artist I'd be really keen on seeing would be Buddy Guy...oh, and CS & N if Uncle Neil was with them!!! But thanks anyway.
