Single Video Theory my favorite, for reasons mentioned above & The Mighty Jack Irons. If he could have been in the band at his prime, I think we would have an even better catalog of music than we do now, just my honest opinion. Touring Band #2, Live at Garden #3, Unplugged #4. But could switch 2 & 3 easily.
Coin flip between SVT and Showbox. The passion in that Showbox show is intense. But I love the inside look of SVT and one of my favorite albums...fucking Yield!
Unplugged is something I remember as a kid.So good Eddie standing on the chair!Great show but Pj20 is such a close second.Id say a tie as far a enjoyablility goes. Love PJ20!

This is a tough poll... I decided on TB2K for the simple fact that my first show was during the Binaural tour. Pearl Jam had been my favorite band since they hit the scene with Ten, but seeing them live for the first time is what drove me into downright madness. And I'm still here, so that has to count for something.
This was tough for sure, I enjoy all of these! Immagine In Cornice for me, as I love the way it was filmed and the mix between live and behind the scenes. Just a cool way to show us the band in a light we may have not seen before!

Single Video Theory
Single Video Theory just edges out a few others for me. Close behind are Showbox, Immagine and Touring Band.
The only other band with as many great DVD's (or at least videos) is Neil Young and Crazy Horse (only I don't think Weld has ever been officially available on DVD and some of the others are hard to get).

by the way, Immagine for me, it has a special place in my heart
..and unplugged 92 would have been my second choice, had they not stupidly edited it out like hell.. it bugs me so much what they done with that release that I almost wish they didn't release it..

Yeah, While I love that I can watch it in high quality video, it was so butchered I almost wish the same.
I chose this because it is great to be able to relive my very first live Pearl Jam song (Long Road) any time I want. Plus you have Kim the Interpreter...one of the great PJ moments of all time in my opinion. But I do really like Cornice and PJ20...tough choice.

I remember when I was buying the Live at the Garden dvd at Best Buy. There was a couple there trying to decide if it was good enough to purchase. I said "get it... it is awesome"...they said "how do you know"? I said "I was there...both nights".
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives,.....choosing the shiny ones instead,......
I go with Showbox about every time. Not my favorite setlist, but one of the most passionate performances I've ever seen from them.
Next I'll go TB2k. It's pretty close with MSG, but I love the Band montage on Touring Band.
SVT is pretty cool and I like the creation/re-creation of one of their best albums.
PJ20 is a fun watch for a big fan, but as a doc it really falls short.
Imagine is one of the biggest missteps in their career, IMO. A few of the off stage scenes are cool, but the editing of the shows is so choppy it's distracting and the performances...just ugh... The scene where EV plays the Immortality intro comes off as very contrived. The most cringeworthy moments of their career.
The Unplugged was the very first time I got to see a live performance of them. Watched it on MTV in 1999. I ripped the sound into an audio cassette that I would play over and over. Dave on drums! Shame they edited it that way but still, it kicks ass.
If I knew where it was, I would take you there.

Love immagine in cornice, brilliantly filmed and the band come across as nice grounded people, the energy of the Italian crowds adds to the DVD and it helped with a great collection of songs from the self titled album(avocado) in 2006.
