Pearl Jam: Live at the Garden

This is actually their 4th DVD. (Single Video Theory, Touring band 2000, Live At The Showbox 2002 were their others) Eddie and company may not be the biggest band in the world anymore, but they are the best. This DVD is a tribute the energy & feeling they put into their live show. Being 1 complete concert instead of a "best of" lets casual fans know this band is for real from start to finish.

Some highlights are the Love Boat Captain opening "Let the show begin." The apperance of the elusive "Low Light", and a new soulful version of "In My Tree." The real show-stopping moments come from the fans. (I was at this concert and by watching the DVD it feels like I am right back in the Garden.) Durring Betterman Ed lets the crowd sing the better part of the song making for a purely sublime moment.

The extra material on the DVD are excellent, showing the lighter side of the band, and giving them a chance to let others shine.

This is a testament to a band that has risen above the "Grunge" label it was given & shown the world that rock and roll is still alive & well.
