Pearl Jam Twenty - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Product Review

In honor of Pearl Jam's twentieth anniversary, award-winning director and music journalist Cameron Crowe created a definitive portrait of the seminal band carved from over 1,200 hours of rarely and never-before-seen footage, plus 24 hours of recently shot concert and interview footage. PEARL JAM TWENTY chronicles the years leading up to the band's formation, the chaos that ensued soon-after their rise to mega-stardom, their step back from center stage, and the creation of a work culture that would sustain them.

Part concert film, part insider hang, part testimonial to the power of music and uncompromising artists, the film celebrates the freedom that allowed Pearl Jam a way to make music without losing sight of what mattered most to them their fans and the music fans that they themselves had always been. PEARL JAM TWENTY features interviews with original band members Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, and Eddie Vedder, drummer Matt Cameron, and friend and Soundgarden singer/guitarist Chris Cornell, as well as archival performance and interview footage of Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, Kurt Cobain and Neil Young.

To accompany the film, Pearl Jam is also releasing a "Pearl Jam Twenty" soundtrack. The soundtrack includes 29 rare and unreleased tracks on 2 CDs, hand-picked by Cameron Crowe with his original liner notes and never-before-seen photos in a 36-page booklet. It is packaged in a hard bound book.

Trip Up To Pearl Jam's Attic, September 23, 2011

Simple - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pearl Jam Twenty Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (MP3 Download)

If you didn't catch Pearl Jam bootlegs CDs, their live on two legs album, their live on ten legs album, their greatest hits CD, their re-releases of their first three ablums and now the movie CD...you may be wondering what's here. Well, the first CD has some rough demos, but check out Black & Not For You.

I know Pearl Jam fans (and I'm one of them) go crazy over Pearl Jam material, but come on, the world didn't need to hear the demo for "Goat". This is a good album, but it's not 5 stars. I would recommend getting Crown of Thorns, Walk With Me, and be sure to check out the second side, chock full of demos.

What bothers me is that some fans automatically rate this CD 5 stars, the bestest thing ever...it's a nice trip up to Pearl Jam's attic. But this isn't the best version of "Rearviewmirror" (in my opinion) and "Blood" remains one of Pearl Jam's worst songs. Every Pearl Jam fan has their own personal favorite live edition of a PJ song, and there's some goods...Read more

This review is from: Pearl Jam Twenty (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)

Cameron Crowe and his buddies have done their research. They have dug long and deep to come up with rare performances that define who Pearl Jam are, and where they came from. Performances from the earliest days, all the way up to the present time. A few REAL gems in here, include demos Temple of the Dog's "Say Hello To Heaven," and "Times of Trouble." Also on the discs are some new tracks well worth giving a listen, including lead guitarist Mike McCready's contribution to the film score "Be Like The Wind," and "Better Man" from NYC, 2010, with full crowd participation, and the long, extended ending completests love to hear after each performance of this PJ Classic. There are some really rough tracks from the early 90's that were performed in small clubs, that help make sure this isn't confused with another "Greatest Hits" type of set. Other highlights include PJ's version of the Mother Love Bone's magnum opus "Crown of Thorns" from Vegas in 2000, and the Neil Young cover "Walk With...Read more
