    This PJ one isn't new, it's the old one from VH1 Classics. The one one tonight first aired on 9/23/14.

    Don't remember Rock Legends on VH1 Classics. And it would've been mentioned many times at the time.
    It was Rock Icons, not Legends. And that PJ show tonight sure wasn't something new, or nothing great at all, sadly.

    I don't remember a Rock Icons Pearl Jam show. I know there a show on Ovation but I think that was during Backspacer.

    that guy got the Temple of the Dog story wrong.

    Yeah, facts were wrong, but some of their opinions on why they did things didn't jive either. Of course nobody is getting anything past us.

    Also, we all have heard the story to No Code to death. (I am almost sick of it:) ). At least they went to other albums and eras.

    Not a word about their live shows though? Or footage? That was a joke.

    All in all not real in depth or new or interesting or well done. bleh

    it's a half hour show. There's not much you can fit in.

    This...... how much can you expect to see in 22 minutes of actual content? It would be fine for someone who knows nothing about the band, but if you have any idea of their history, or have seen PJ20 then you're good.

    DewieCox nailed it, this was underwhelming at best.

    The Johnny Cash episode however wasn't half bad. I'm looking forward to the Radiohead & Genesis episodes.

    It would be nearly impossible to please us. We know too much! So...no, I didn't enjoy it. It was too superficial.
    But I only know a little about U2, Sting and RHCP, so I did enjoy those episodes. Seeing the errors in the PJ show, I wonder what the other episodes got wrong.

    Wish someone would do a deep dive into the music -- the chords, the melodies, the production, etc. -- the way Spike Lee did with his "Off the Wall" Michael Jackson documentary. He had producers and musicians getting technical about the music. I'd pay money to see that.

    That would be pretty great, or even if they did an episode on VH1's Classic Albums. Like how they always have the producers and sound guys telling the back story.

    This is where I first saw it. I guess they added the Lightning bolt stuff later http://www.ovationtv.com/series/pearl-jam-music-mavericks/#.Uzo3K0iH6iU.facebook
