There's very little to be upset about as a film, although I'm sure like many others I would really appreciate some way to get full shows as well (but it looks like the extras will give us some more songs). But really, it was well worth the wait to see this all put together.
The Metro experience last night was great (especially since I was also there to watch game 7), and worth working a long day on little sleep today. both in the film and at the event, and having the Cubs clinch the division made it all . Thanks for doing the screenings for the homecrowd, much appreciated.
Cub fans are awesome and the music even more.
I'm not a baseball fan but it was interesting and it balanced well. I loved seeing the PJ community, big sweeping shots of the crowds and how the band interacts with each other. The sound was spot on which is why I spent 20 bucks to see it at the iconic Cap. It was worth seeing on the big screen. I really liked it, no one will be disappointed!
I'm adding I think you will really have to HATE The Cubs to not like this movie

As for the film itself, it's very well done. Beautifully shot, great sound, great stories about the Cubs. I will say that I was wrong about how much of a focus the Cubs would be. I enjoyed that part, but if you have an aversion to the Cubs or to baseball you may not.
Highlight for me was the Ernie Banks footage from 2013 since that was the only Wrigley show I was at.
It's one part concert film, one part love letter to the Cubs. But the band playing the concert is Pearl Jam and the guy writing the love letter is Eddie Vedder. If you are a fan of this band you'll enjoy Let's Play Two.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
we'll be seeing the movie at harkins as well. not sure we could meet up before hand, but possibly after? whiskey chicks? bricktown brewery? it'll be me, my wife, and a friend.
Im seeing the film tomorrow in Cleveland. Hopefully I still enjoy it!
Sounded & looked great on the big screen. I could do with less fan interviews and constant cuts to fans rocking and zoning out to the music. Call me a curmudgeon but that stuff takes me out of the music and my own trip with it. It's definitely cubs/baseball heavy but I love baseball and my wifes a cubs fan so I was fine with that. Of course any time you can see the boys do their thing especially on a huge movie screen with killer sound, its well worth it. That said I agree a blu ray packed with extras & more songs is most definitely needed.
Loved it, my only complaint would be some of the songs selected but that's just me trying to find something to bitch about.
The sound in the theater was awful

Theather guy was even cool enough to give me the movie poster since no one had asked him for it
Wetlands 91
CBGB 91
Roseland 91
and many, many more
I don't need to see it again. Love Eddie but this was too much eddie for a Pearl Jam documentary.
Bring on the 2018 tour
The sound though was not good. Really really loud and tinny. It was painful at times. Hopefully that was the fault of the theaters sound system and it will be fine on the blu ray.
Band, sound, cinematography, feeling, memories ... all great.
Get to lock in on band, concerts during live performances. But also a lot of very nice and personal collage moments.
It's different than previous PJ movies and not what was initially expected. But I think it's going to age really well and be very special in 20 years. It's going to stand out, simply because of how special the Wrigley shows were and the Cubs' first WS in 108 years.
Wish it was 3 hours and had more songs. But that's what the Blu-Ray is for.
Easily their best shot video. The live footage is fantastic.
Thanks again, PJ!
