Pearl Jam: Touring Band 2000

the year 2000 was unforgettable for many of us, pearl jam fans, who were lucky enough to attend one or more shows. this video gem is the perfect souvenir and is the ultimate documentary and closure of, maybe, the best tour the band has pulled yet.

the song selections are just plain great (even though a little bit more of "no code" wouldn't have hurt) and the special features are amazing. the new instrumental songs were my favourites. the matt cam, too.

it caught my attention that it was filmed by the road crew and they must have been perfecting their style along the tour because the mayority of the selected venues are among the last ones, that means no europe and very few from the first north-am leg. but still, who is complaining?

the band is better than ever, the energy is great and not only you can see it, but you can hear it. LOUD! the sound is way better than the mix from the previous DVD (single video theory), kudos to Mr. brett eliason.

go listen to it. you'll be thankful to mike, jeff, stone, ed and matt for making such great music, and by the end of it, you'll be smiling.

this is my favourite DVD, but keep in mind that Pearl Jam is my favourite band.

This is a great DVD for Pearl Jam fans and any person that simply loves music. This DVD follows one of the greatest Rock 'n' Roll bands of the past 15 years as they rock the faces off concert goers during the Binaural Tour in the Summer & Fall of 2000.

This DVD is visual proof that Pearl Jam is clearly one of the best live acts of all- time. Highlights from shows throughout the U.S. are shown, and Pearl Jam's

raw energy and power, that attracts their fans to come to their shows again and again and again can be felt by anyone who watches this DVD.

When I got this DVD, I was sooo psyched to see that a show I attended at Jones Beach in Long Island, NY was represented on the DVD. This is still one of my favorite Pearl Jam shows that I have attended to date. I was also doubly glad to see that one of my most memorable moments at Pearl Jam show was

represented too. This is when they sing Daughter with the "Its OK" tag (a song by Dead Moon). This is and such an unbelievable moment. You have to watch

this to be able to feel and understand what I mean.

The features on this DVD are great too. For drummers that want to watch a real pro like Matt Cameron show you why he is one of the best, you need to watch

the "Matt Cam". The Oceans & Do the Evolution videos are also there for the

viewers to enjoy. There are some audio settings as well. Dolby 5.1 surround is available on this DVD for those who have a home theater.

This is a great collection of Pearl Jam footage from various shows throughout there 2000 US tour, it is surely not to be missed. It has some good features too.

I saw the Alpine Valley show ("Dissident" in Touring Band was shot there) and I felt the 20 degree cold air blowing through my ears mixed in with Pearl Jam's music while watching this DVD. The sound is excellent and it includes a Matt (Cameron)-cam, interesting because the drummer is overlooked too much in music, that shows the drummer side of a concert. This movie is well-titled and will allow the audience to feel what it's really like at a Pearl Jam concert. A+.

Touring Band 2000 is a great showing of the band's incredible live performances of their grand catalog of songs spanning their 10 years as grungefathers. It clearly represents their superiority as one of the best live acts, especially on DVD where their music sounds even more outstanding. Added bonuses, like the Do the Evolution and the never before released Oceans music videos make it even more desirable to pick up. A must have for any serious PJ fan.

One of the best live concert films ever released. Touring Band 2000 is a compilation of some of Pearl Jam's best performances of their 2000 Tour to support their Binaural album. While each of the performances is from the U.S. tour, there are also some montage sequences of the European tour in the special features. Hardcore fans and newcomers alike will love the tracklisting as they play some of their lesser known works, as well as some of their "radio friendly" tunes. Special features include several music videos, some montages of the European tour as well as kind of a gag reel of the band goofing off throughout the tour. Also included is the "Matt Cam" which is a camera set on drummer Matt Cameron as he does his stuff to several songs. This is a must have for all music lovers, and especially Pearl Jam fans, as it gives a very intimate look at what was once a very private band.
