Japanese pressing of their 2006 album with no extras.13 tracks. J Records.
If its debut album 15 years ago made Pearl Jam apprehensive with success, the Seattle quintet better buckle in for a return to eminence. On its eighth studio release–and first since 2002–the band socks away the adventurous experimentation that dogged some of its most recent records to investigate a post-September 11, war-ravaged world overflowing with urgency and significance. “It’s the same everyday in a hell manmade/What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?” lead singer Eddie Vedder wonders in “World Wide Suicide,” one of several contemptuous rants on the Bush administration. Yet the album’s spark is more than political. Songs like “Life Wasted,” “Comatose” and “Big Wave” embrace the garage-rock past, as guitarists Mike McCready and Stone Gossard play off each other with the primal lucidity of a decade ago and drummer Matt Cameron, one of rock’s best, adds raw backing vocals to Vedder’s polished craft. But Pearl Jam also turns up some of its most harmonious works since “Daughter,” including “Marker in the Sand,” with its radio-ready chorus, the tuneful “Parachutes” paced by Gossard’s divine strumming, and the burning narrative and Urge Overkill punch of “Umemployable.” Finally Vedder pleads for a lover’s return in “Come Back,” a keyboard-soaked love song complete with a chilling Gossard solo. It’s got a soulfulness that begs for Sam Cooke to sing it and an originality that shows that a vibrant and cocksure Pearl Jam is back in town–and ready to retake the world. –Scott Holter

The first Pearl Jam full-length DVD features three hours of live and montage footage from the band’s 2000 U.S. and European tours. The main body of the DVD program is comprised of 28 full song performances filmed in various cities on the band’s 2000 48-city U.S. tour, reflecting the time and composition of an actual concert set list. The DVD was filmed by Pearl Jam crew members Liz Burns, Steve Gordon, and Kevin Shuss without directors or producers. An additional 50 minutes of special bonus features includes footage from the band’s 2000 European tour, backstage footage, previously unreleased music, special consumer-chosen camera angles, the previously unreleased video for “Oceans,” and more. Edited by Steve Gordon. Recorded and mixed by Brett Eliason and engineered by John Burton.
Track list: Long Road, Corduroy, Grievance, Animal, Gods’ Dice, Evacuation, Given to Fly, Dissident, Nothing as It Seems, Evenflow, Lukin, Not for You, Daughter (into “It’s OK” by Dead Moon), Untitled, MFC, Thin Air, Leatherman, Betterman, Nothingman, Insignificance, I Got Shit, RVM, Wishlist, Jeremy, Evolution, Don’t Go, Parting Ways, Rocking in the Free World
Special bonus features:
Stationary “Matt-cam” footage is available with a heavier percussion mix for two of the songs featured on the main body of the DVD: “Evacuation” and “Even Flow” and also for “In My Tree.” (The “Matt-cam” is a special camera positioned behind drummer Matt Cameron that the consumer can switch to while viewing the DVD.)
European montages: City, band, and fan montages from the European tour with “Yellow Ledbetter” live and previously unreleased instrumentals recorded by Pearl Jam during early Binaural sessions. Instrumentals titled: “Thunderclap,” “Foldback,” and “Harmony.”

Imagine you’ve been given a carte blanche pass to follow Pearl Jam on their 2000 North American tour. Now take 28 songs performed in 19 different cities (with the band’s hometown, Seattle, getting the lion’s share of five songs), and capture them for posterity, courtesy of three PJ crewmembers, who formed a kamikaze documentary unit with handheld video cameras. In the words of frontman Eddie Vedder (whose liner notes are dated February 14, 2001), this three-hour DVD is “in some ways the visual equivalent of the bootlegs that have been released in the past year… a basic document of what may occur at any given Pearl Jam concert.” Well, it’s all that and more. The gritty, homespun approach is totally appropriate for the band’s no-frills performance of straightforward, superlative rock & roll, and the sound recording is nothing less than spectacular, especially if you honor Vedder’s request to “PLEASE PLAY THIS MOVIE LOUD.”
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
