Let's Play Two Fanviews Here

Blu Ray will really be nice. That's the real prize.  

well done, great footage, great shots- the overhead wrigley shots were sick, and they captured one of my all time pj moments with the gleason footage, so powerful. thought the sound was great.  i was getting into it a lot in the theater but being a monday night after work most others were tame.  agree with the crispness of hearing things liek the note at the end of low light, it kinfa gives you more of an appreciation for something you already have a huge appreciation for.  i only did wrigley 1 and thought it was funny they wore the same clothes for the dvd cuts.  i had to keep asking myself if i was there for that.  i enjoyed seeing the old chicago footage too, nice parallel between young raw about to genius and then the eventual masters of the genre.  i enjoyed getting some 13 love in this too, i was at that and it will always be a special night for me because of what they accomplished in coming back on stage at midnight and rockign for 2 more hours.  made the 16 show feel triumphant (and it was a beautiful day) - also good to finally know what was played on that rooftop

i agree with the "too much ed" sentiment ( i dont think stone spoke)  and they were going to make a dvd anyway as they had clinch filming this, i feel that once the cubs won the world series they made this too much of a cubs story.  then they had to have someone follow ed around the world series.  it would have been a damn fine dvd without it being that much cubs. 

cant wait to see the extra footage

I watched it last night in Jacksonville - it was awesome.  Very well made.

More well made than the 2017-18 Noles.

haha yeah, there's not too much to say about that.  I'm slightly confident about the UM game this weekend. Mainly because it's at home.  

Saw it in Kennesaw, GA last night.  Really enjoyed it.  Loved the interviews and behind the scenes videos from the Wrigley shows.  Looking forward to getting the dvd soon!

Potential Spoiler:

What struck me most though was the overwhelming underlying theme of joy. The joy of people singing the songs. The bands faces. The shots of the crowd (bravo Danny Fucking Clinch). The worry on Eds face when he was worried they would lose. The opposite when they won.

But most of all just seeing people happy. All of us at the show. And everyone two months later. Communities.

Couldn't say it any better. For those feeling like the world is falling apart for a while now, this film reminded me that there are good people that care and can enjoy each other's company without being an ass.

A band that cares about causes (Gleason), cares about fans (John and all the crowd footage), creates Chicago moments (Rodman's cameo and all the Cubs stuff), and Ed's connection to Wrigleyville (historical footage and interviews with local establishments).

A fanbase that is optimistic, hopeful and excited to be alive. As a whole, 40k people can sing along in celebration for a few fleeting hours and be a part of something big, and our gift was a film that helped explain our passion for Pearl Jam (and to some, the Cubs).

I lucked out to witness a lot of the things covered in the film in person, and it felt like a documentary of some of the happiest times in my life.

I take it that is the only glimmer of hope that you have to hang on to for this game. The fact that its in Tally. Streak ends this year bud. Jimbo will finally taste defeat against Miami. We're back. Richt has this program heading back in the right direction. Back to when we were the U. The shitty Al Golden era is over.

While I would have preferred the Mendon Drive in, my Baltimore experience at the art deco palace that is the Senator Theatre was pretty dang good.  Built in 1939 and renovated within the past 10 years, great sound and a great screen.

I am in agreement that the only thing that would have made it better would have been a TAD more of Stone Gossard in the movie. 

LAST EXIT sounded amaze.   Now I can spin the vinyl.

Agreed on Last Exit - hands down my favorite performance in the movie. Matt Cameron kills it on that song.

Inside Job was a close second, I was pleasantly surprised to see McCready break out the double neck for that tune. I didn't know he used it there.

Ugh, totally not going to see it.  Clevelander who has been turned off some by all the Cubs stuff.  Curious to see if Cleveland sells out if they come here next tour.

I guess I can understand not wanting to see the movie if your team was on the losing end last year. But if Let's Play Two actually hurts the band's standing in the Cleveland market, that's pretty weak. Plenty of other cities would love to get that slot on the tour.

Huge Cleveland Indians fan here. Saw the showing in Cleveland last night. I'd say the theater was 90 percent full. There was some cheering when they showed the Indians going up 3-1 on the Cubs. Then some booing when they lost. But it was all in good fun. 

I just wish they could've focused more on Wrigley
and more Pearl Jam backstage stuff rather than specific Cubs but that's nitpicking. 

I thought the sound was incredible and Ed's voice sounded unbelievable. Almost literally unbelievable. Sounded better than it has in the past ten years. Not sure if that was some handy editing or what. But sounded great regardless. 

One issue my wife and I both noticed especially on some close ups of Ed was a slight mismatch between his mouth and the sound. I'm guessing that was probably a theater issue. 

All around a fun night.
