I'm sure someone here as a copy lying around. Otherwise I'll check tonight on my home PC.

I considered watching those, but I just couldn't make myself do it. I have to assume that whole deal is just loaded over with the worst grain-effect shakeycam "omg look we're in a city" travel montage shit known to man.

Grainy, yes. But there are some great versions of songs in there.

It's actually pretty good, McP.
Unless I'm mistaken, rather than being made by the band's people, it was shot on Super 8 by a couple of guys who got the band's permission to follow them around on that tour. The band nixed its release at the time but put it up on the website a few years later.

Wow, this is outstanding. Thanks for posting -- had not seen it before. Amazing how much these guys changed in just a few years. From this to Target commercials in five years!

Turns out I'd seen it before. Or at least skimmed.
I started it up after your post, and about 5 minutes in I thought it seemed vaguely familiar. Then suddenly, there's Neil at soundcheck, and it was "Oh, shit, this is that thing where Pearl Jam were still really, really good but Neil just casually destroys them anyway. Now I remember."

Stone is such a funny guy. It must be really interesting to see Stone and Ed relationship because those two are very different.

Wonder what the Stone comment "That was when I was talking to you" referred to, hah

Mother fucking this!
Holy shit what a version! A top 10 song for me all time, and it shits all over the studio version with the added McCready guitar wailing. Just awesome.

it took me a long time to track down a DVD-copy of that VFC documentary because 10C was so anti- sharing the few DVDs that were out there and wanted fans to only see the webstream version, but it is one of my favorite video releases of the band.
