Maybe. Wish they would release a song or two from the soundtrack already. Or yet a vinyl / CD pre order.jjflash said:Might the new eV instrumentals for Mt Kennedy be not just a song or two but a WHOLE soundtrack, similar to Into the Wild, and be what his slowly-releasing European tour is built around?

Return To Mount Kennedy Screening + Giveaway!
If you missed the chance to catch the screening of Return To Mount Kennedy at the Cinerama you'll have another chance to see it again! February 19th at The Mountaineers Seattle Program Center at 7PM. Tickets available here!
In 1965 Jim Whittaker led Senator Robert Kennedy to the first ascent of a remote mountain in the Yukon named after the late president, JFK. Fifty years later, the sons of the original climbing team - a raucous band manager, a candidate for governor, and a young mountaineer - embark on an expedition to the mountain to celebrate the special bond that connects them all. Featuring unreleased instrumentals by Eddie Vedder and never before seen footage and photos of Robert Kennedy, the feature-length documentary sits at the intersection of politics, human rights, environmentalism, and adventure.
Following the show, Bruce Pavitt, the co-founder of the Sub Pop record label who appears in this film, will be taking the stage with film subjects Bobby Whittaker and Leif Whittaker for a Q&A. Bruce has worked with Nirvana, Mudhoney, Flight of the Concords, Iron & Wine, Soundgarden and more, and is recognized as a cultural visionary and local business icon. Don’t miss this incredible event!
We have a pair of tickets and matching t-shirts to giveaway! Enter to win by e-mailing us with the subject line “RETURN TO MOUNT KENNEDY" please include first & last name. We'll draw a winner on 2/14. Good luck!

Big Sky Documentary Film Festival: Eric Becker - Return to Mount KennedyEmmy Award winning documentary filmmaker Eric Becker stopped by the Morning Trail for a ten minute interview that both of us hijacked at various times to cover everything from this evening's showing of Return To Mount Kennedy (Wednesday 6 p.m. at MCT) to Eddie Vedder's involvement to Eric's claim he can't complete a single pull-up. A raucous good time.

‘Return To Mount Kennedy’ Doc Summited By 1091 Media, With Help From Eddie Vedder And REI
EXCLUSIVE: 1091 Media is teaming with the outdoor co-op REI to release Return to Mount Kennedy, a documentary helmed by Eric Becker that combines elements of history, politics, mountaineering and even some grunge, with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder providing original music.
A plan is underway for a fall theatrical release followed by an on-demand bow November 5. REI will also host in-store screenings nationwide.
The film’s plot sets its base-camp on March 20, 1965, when Bobby Kennedy became the first human to stand atop a peak in the Canadian Yukon that had just been named to honor his brother John F. Kennedy, assassinated two years earlier. His guide was Jim Whittaker, who at 28 had became the first American to summit Mt. Everest and later became CEO of REI. Whittaker and Kennedy became fast friends, with the former becoming RFK’s Washington state campaign chairman before Bobby Kennedy himself was assassinated.
The film features never-before-seen archival footage of Kennedy and Whittaker, and Becker picks up the story 50 years later, when Whittaker’s sons Bobby (a grunge compatriot of Vedder as manager of Mudhoney) and Leif, and RFK’s son Christopher, return to climb the mountain.
“Through our films partnerships, we produce stories that help audiences better understand why a life outdoors is a life well lived,” said Paolo Mottola, director of content and media at REI Co-op. “Return to Mt. Kennedy is a film that neatly ties together generations of American mountaineering, music and politics in a way that audiences are sure to enjoy.”
1091 Media acquired the film and TV division of The Orchard in January and has been streamlining its strategy, distributing 4-6 curated films a year. In July, it teamed with Greenwich Entertainment to acquire rights to Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice which has grossed $2.3 million since its September release.
