Eighteen shows from the tour were chosen by the band as "Ape/Man" shows, which, according to bassist Jeff Ament, were shows the band found "really exciting." With the release of these official bootlegs, Pearl Jam would set a record for most albums to debut in the Billboard 200 at the same time. The Seattle show was released as a triple-disc set, and was the highest-charting of the series, peaking at number 98 on the Billboard 200, and was called an "essential live document" by Allmusic. Every show was released in a cardboard sleeve containing two CDs, with the exception of the 72nd and final show on the tour, Novemat KeyArena in Seattle, Washington. 72 of the "bootlegs" were released to stores in three waves in late 2000 and early 2001, with the 25 European bootlegs coming first. Just to see how the band prepares an encore, you must check out this one.Pearl Jam's official bootleg program was begun for the band's 2000 Binaural Tour. The interview, backstage, sound check, being-tourist-in-Italy, and stuff, sort of element. The Clinch element that made me knew this was something else. Now, let's talk about the other element of the film. For me the ones that stand out are the starting-slow great version of "Porch", "Betterman" (the Italian crowd is great here, singing as loud as possible, and it ends with a great image of the four original members playing together in a circle), "Alive" (Clinch takes nicely an accidental fall of Eddie to edit this one as it was the very last performance of the film) and a f****** intense "Blood" (yet again showing that the Italian crowd is a great one, if not as intense as the Argentinean or the Mexican!). This is certainly a great resume of the 2006 world tour, with nothing but perfect performances.

Actually, it's literally that as we have, aside of the cover (Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" – also we can hear, as background music, the cover of Tom Waits' "Picture in a Frame") and "State of Love and Trust" (that first appeared in the SINGLES soundtrack), only songs from the 2006 album and from the first 3 ones ("Ten", "Vs." and "Vitalogy").

It's the "Pearl Jam" album plus some of the classics. So there's a lot from their 2006 album "Pearl Jam" (the film actually starts with 3 songs from that album – "Severed Hand", "World Wide Suicide" and "Life Wasted"). Talking about the song selection, you have to keep in mind that this is about PJ's Italy tour of 2006 (the tour consisted in 5 shows, each in a different city – Bologna, Verona, Milan, Torino and Pistoia). After all, it was indeed not just another concert DVD, as its short set list indicated (in the back of the case there are 13 songs listed). I love that film, so I knew Imagine IN CORNICE was something really worthy. I knew Clinch's WHERE THE LIGHT IS: JOHN MAYER LIVE IN LOS ANGELES. The main reason was that I knew its director Danny Clinch.
When I read about it I wanted to get it immediately. There was, and still is (with all the official bootlegs nobody will ever end!), lots of PJ stuff for me to discover. So you can imagine how f****** excited I am ever since their upcoming 11/24 show in Mexico City was only a rumor, was confirmed by the band and ever since I bought my ticket! This is going to be my very first Pearl Jam show (it's their third visit to my city tough but back then, in 20, I was too young and too stupid, and I wasn't a fan yet), it's their 20th anniversary tour, one night only (at a venue with a 50,000+ people capacity), and also the Cameron Crowe 20th anniversary film is coming in September (an exciting book and soundtrack too), goddamn, it's simply a great time for the Pearl Jam fan! Personally my excitement for all of this has been translated into hearing almost nothing but PJ records during these days. Haven't done the top 10 or top 5 or whatever kind of exercise, but is very probable that the Seattle almost-old-enough-to-drink band would end in my 5 favorite bands.
I say it all the time, but I'll say it again: Pearl Jam is simply one of my all-time favorite bands.
