Pearl Jam Twenty states otherwise. From page 203:
August 4: "Single Video Theory, a look behind the scenes at the making of Yield and rehearsals for the 1997 shows opening for the Rolling Stones..."
Yield was rec'd in February and June 97
Febbraio/Giugno 1997 - Studio Litho - Seattle, WA; Agosto/Settembre 1997 - Studio Litho and Studio X - Seattle, WA and Southern Tracks Recording - Atlanta, GA
Ed Vedder - vocals, guitar, background vocals; Stone Gossard - guitar, background vocals, bass on 'Do The Evolution' and 'No Way'; Mike McCready - guitar; Jeff Ament - bass, background vocals; Jack Irons - drum kit, percussion, vocals on 'The Whale Song'; Brendan O'Brien - organ, piano
What we think we know is Yield rec'd Feb and June 1997, and the Stones shows were Nov 14-19 1997.
Plus the quote - "Single Video Theory, a look behind the scenes at the making of Yield and rehearsals for the 1997 shows opening for the Rolling Stones..."

I think that's what's happening there. They're trying to translate it to just 2-3 guitars.
It's surprising that they sat on Yield for that long after it was done recording.

Source?
Mark Pellington interview in the recent 3 part Celebration Rock podcast about Pearl Jam. They interview Mark in the last 30 (or so) minutes of part one. In that he calls SVT a making of Yield doc. I just listened to it. Was listening as I pasted in fact.
You can find a link to it on the main page of The Sky I Scrape dot com.
