Announced. Concert Movie. Lets Play Two

It's sad that I'm excited about this, but we haven't had a film in a few years.

Im curious to see what it all entails! I would assume a total package of sorts with vinyl, dvd, boots, etc...

I hope it's a LO2L style release of highlights packaged with a blu ray. There will probably be several editions, I assume?

[VinylGuy]

ohhh fuck im so exited...

Sadly, Last Exit wasn't on the setlist for either night.

man did you see Boom killing those keys?

and not in the metaphorical sense ... he was literally murdering that keyboard.

I hope for a release of the show where they cut a few songs.

I think we all expect a film cutting the two shows into one. Let it come with a bunch of cool shit, and I'm alright with that.

Maybe the full boots will be out later.

I looked it up on Amazon and found this: https://www.amazon.com/Lets-Play-Candac ... s+play+two

I know where I'm investing MY money. No sense waiting on Pearl Jam.

Meh.

I still get emails from Pearl Jam. Saw this in the inbox and thought it was the name of a new 2 song single.

[evenslow]

Nice!

Is this the first movie they've released since Cornice?

Wonder if anything from the 1st time they played will be included?

Also My scathing review of probably my least favorite setlist of all time night 1 for reminder purposes.

Here's the thing with PJ 20. I was there, it was fantastic to be there, Temple was great.

But if I'm Eddie Vedder, I'm embarrassed to look at/listen to myself there.

1. Including the Temple portion, his time on stage in aggregate is very low, particularly for a PEARL JAM show.
2. The performances of Pearl Jam stuff, and Ed's lyrics in particular, are sloppy as fuck. Beyond even typical standards. It was the first show of the run, and the 2-night stand in Toronto (with Neil Young RITFW closer) was a far better "Pearl Jam show".
3. Ed drinks on stage, we know that. But there are a few shows where he is clearly "drunk". Boston '04 is like that, and so was PJ 20.

This was supposed to be their night like none other, and they completely shit the bed.

Now, it is what it is. Particularly because I was there and know it was filmed, I'd love to buy it, not least because Chris is no longer with us. But looking from the band's perspective, CD and DVD sales are down across the board and I wouldn't want someone's first and/or only exposure to Pearl Jam being that. I think it's the same notion as the '95 tour movie that got shelved even though the live performance bits were amazing. Pearl Jam would rather piss people off and maintain whatever warped sense of artistic integrity they have (no Arc on the "complete" '03 bootlegs, cutting "Beth" out of vault/unplugged releases) than release something that the fans want or don't care about and would sell anyway.

With the title, Let's Play Two, I don't expect that at all.
