Singling out highlights is like trying to pick a favorite child; every viewer will have favorites, and every choice is justified. The death of grunge is Pearl Jam's blessing. Having proven its endurance, the band flourishes in the absence of overexposure. Everyone's in peak form (we like the beard, Eddie), and the DVD's bonus features are both fun and substantial, including city, band, and fan montages from PJ's earlier European tour, Todd McFarlane's outstanding animated "Do the Evolution" video, and three songs featuring "Matt Cam," fixed on drummer Matt Cameron, with percussion mixed louder on the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. The only possible complaint is the absence of interviews or backstage footage, but that's a trivial quibble. It's the music that matters, and as an audiovisual record of PJ's 2000 tour, this DVD was created with all the right priorities. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Pearl Jam - Touring Band 2000
Great Visual Companion to the Bootleg Series This DVD functions mostly as a video representation of the Pearl Jam 2000 bootleg series, of which I have obsessively collected all 72 releases. While all the songs on the DVD were filmed in different cities, the set list here pretty much approximates a true Pearl Jam concert from the 2000 tour, from the effective opener "Long Road" all the way to Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" which was a surprise closer in many shows. Each track here was apparently selected as the most visually interesting tape of that song available, or at least one of the strongest musical performances. So you don't get the errors and miscues that you get on many of the unedited bootlegs. Therefore it's not totally realistic, but the visuals are a real bonus, especially for this band that doesn't do videos and is hardly ever photographed. Some highlights include a woman doing sign language for the crowd in "Given to Fly" (St. Louis) and Eddie Vedder bringing a kid on stage in "Rockin' in the Free World" (Albuquerque). Included in the catch-all montage that accompanies "Smile" are some moments that are clearly audible in the bootlegs, like the woman with the white umbrella in Pittsburgh, and the plethora of costumed freaks (including the band) for Halloween in San Francisco. Among the best of the DVD "bonuses" is the MattCam, which films Matt Cameron throughout three of his most powerful songs, Todd McFarlane's video for "Do the Evolution" (highly influenced by "The Wall"), and the scenic montage from Europe.
Simply Amazing!
This DVD gets more play than any other I own. These songs never get old. That said, my only request is more. This DVD is packed with more songs than any concert, but noticeably missing are Release, Of the Girl, Smalltown, Porch, Crazy Mary, Patriot, Garden, Alive, Black, Soldier of Love, Baba O'Reiley, and Indifference. Sound like a good set list for a second DVD?
This DVD is awesome from beginning to end. Some highlights include RVM and the It's Okay tag from Daughter, which is from Jones Beach and almost as good as the DC version. Rockin in the Free World has some kid who's like Butthead rockin on stage. Personally I would have preferred the Tampa version, but this one rocks too. Also Given to Fly has a signer on stage that everyone seems to like, but again I'd prefer just Pearl Jam. Now almost every time I hear that song I think of that signer, so unfortunately I hardly listen to it anymore. Yellow Ledbetter, played showing only European audiences, is beautiful and makes me wish I were at a concert having as much fun as they were. The Evolution video is like a mini version of The Wall. I never understood why it hardly got any playtime on Mtv, but now I can finally watch it over and over again.
The sound and picture are adequate by DVD standards. It doesn't compare to the quality of Cunning Stunts by Metalica, which has set the standard for DVD concerts, but it is 5.1 digital and except for close-ups of Mike McCready in his wife beater tank tops the camera work is really good. Obviously if you're not a PJ fan this concert isn't for you. But if see them as one of the last cool groups left, pick this up immediately and enjoy an euphoric experience!
Now if they'd only release Unplugged on DVD and I'll be a happy man.
EXCELENTE
Excelente DVD de la gira 2000 de Pearl Jam. En realidad no es un concierto en vivo entero, si no que se trata de canciones extraidas de distintos recitales a lo largo de la gira. Pero esto no le quita valor a este documente. Momentos memorables como en "Rocking in the free world" donde Eddie sube al escenario a un niño con discapacidades o cuando en "Given to fly" presentan a una persona que interpreta el tema con lenguajes de señas para sordo-mudos.
Es imperdible ademas el bonus track con imagenes de la parte europea de la gira. Y en especial los bloopers y cosas graciosas sonando de fondo el tema "Smile". Muy buena la parte en que los integrantes de la banda aparecen disfrazados de los Village People.
En sintesis, algo unico e imperdible este DVD. Recomiendo su compra.
