Don't forget about Ed and Mike playing "Lukin" at the top of the steps! amazing, I LOVE the look on Mike's face when he realizes the riff Eddie is playing. Magic.

If you want it to seem like you're actually at a PJ concert, TB2000.
I find myself watching Immagine more simply because there's little snippets with the band members talking in between, and I like that.

touring band!

TOURING BAND 2000 by a long shot.

IMAGINE IN CORNICE is a nice film, but the actual music setlist is short and pathetic.

agreed. imagine's set is incredibly basic, but it is pretty awesome to see the band hang out and on the bus and what not.

touring band has an incredible set list and i think has close to 30 songs. the extras are great too with the european montage and the smile clip.

Immagine in Cornice has one nice moment that made me laugh ... Eddie falling and hurting himself during 'Alive'.

Considering the crazy shit he used to do in the early years and come out unscathed, it was funny to see him fall from barely a 5 feet jump.

Worthy contender, no doubt. I'll probably have to watch it a few times before I pass judgement compared to TB2000.

No, it's the one they haven't released yet:
PJ20 - Alpine Valley 2011

My view

TB2000 - How fuckin good is this? Ok the sound is probably not 100% but the way its filmed, and the intensity of the performances...Amazing. It really feels like you're at the concert. 10/10

Live At The Garden - I was there (at the back ) and it was a great show, but its filmed pretty poorly, going from one closeup of a band member to another, and it doesn't catch the feeling in the Arena that night. However it's nice to have a complete show. 7/10

Immagine In Cornice - Not a big fan of this, the performances I find a little uninspired for some reason, despite the band being great on the 2006 Euro Tour. The backstage stuff is not all that interesting either, although its wonderfully filmed. I find it a little pretentious actually, and the political stuff is just silly.
6/10

Although it's not a Live DVD - Single Video Theory is wonderful, and gets a 10/10 as well.

This. This has severely cut into my sleep time. So many great performances on here. I think I have already spent more time on this set of DVDs than any of the other releases. (I do LOVE the Showbox DVD though)

Touring Band 2000 for sure!

Plus, Single Video Theory is a great DVD that every fan should own.

Good review. I was just watching TB2000 and had forgotten how many songs it had. I'd probably give it an 8 though simply because the video quality isn't that great for some songs IMO. I'll have to watch Garden again to give it an updated score but that would probably be anywhere from the 7-9 range. I do remember liking it better than TB when it came out. For Immagine, I would give performances and audio/visual quality a 10. I agree that the backstage stuff really isn't that great, and the setlist is much shorter than the other DVDs. 6 is a fair score. SVT = 10 in my book. A pearl jam dvd filled with songs from my favorite pearl jam album is always going to be a winner.

I'd probably give showbox a 4 or something...It was a warmup show and it showed...also wasnt fond of the filming or the setlist. I haven't gone through the whole DVD in years but that's just what I remember. In fact, I think that's the only PJ dvd that I've only seen once.

Kids are twenty is a 10
