5.0 out of 5 stars Cool live stuff, May 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pearl Jam - Single Video Theory [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great video, if only for the fact that it finally gives us fans who haven't seen Pearl Jam in concert a chance to see how the band works live. There's not really that much valuable conversation with the band; they touch on a couple of the themes they wanted to pursue on "Yield," but mainly, the focus of this video is the performances. The live stuff is cool, and it's interesting to see how the band members interact with each other in the studio. Also, the live variations of the songs are a little different, and it's cool to compare those to the final products on "Yield." They play every song except "Pilate" and "Push Me, Pull Me"; not real losses there, as those are some of the less interesting songs. The renditions of "Wishlist" and "In Hiding" are emotional and thrilling; but the greatest moment of the video is the performance of "Do the Evolution" at the end. Vedder's style comes through on this performance - which, in fact, is rare on this video. But overall, this video is thoroughly entertaining, as anything with live Pearl Jam would be.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's an emotionally drenched look at the way pj makes music!, July 9, 1999

This review is from: Pearl Jam - Single Video Theory [VHS] (VHS Tape)

well of coures i was exited about the video, because i'm such a die hard fan, i really did'nt know what to expect, but after the amazing rendition of wishlist and the conflicts between the band members on how to finish the song was a rare upclose look of the bands chemistry and how they fabricate thier music, the interviews were a little abstract, but their main message came across loud and clear,and that message is, we are happy with what our position in the music world and we are happy with what we are doing, and the mainstream media can go fuck themselves!!!!! but mostly the video concentrates on the live sessions, it's just another great fabrication, from one the most well known bands in the world If your a Pearl JAM fan you should defenitlly buy this video!
