Details

28 songs filmed entirely with handheld cameras by Pearl Jam crew members across 19 different cities from the bands' 2000 North American tour. Reflecting the time and composition of an actual concert set list, this video is, in the words of Eddie Vedder, "in some ways the visual equivalent of the bootlegs that have been released in the past year... a basic document of what may occur at any given Pearl Jam concert."

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
pifas I'm speechless; what else can anyone say after watching over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over this DVD? Pearl Jam is one of the greatest events in music of all time. It's honesty is only surpassed by the godly songs they create, and Touring band 2000 it's a legacy of sheer spiritual sounds live; a frame for the deep communion this five musicians have with themselves and with their audience. It's a must have for any music lover. Period.
lastexit4021 Being a big fan of Pearl Jam may make my opinion somewhat biased, but the quality and planning of this music dvd is enough to make any despiser or rock and roll think twice about buying this movie. An excellent menu, brilliant sound quality, and amazing editing bring out the best of this Seattle band. A highly reccomended movie to any music video lover.
drdre1 Touring Band 2000 is a great showing of the band's incredible live performances of their grand catalog of songs spanning their 10 years as grungefathers. It clearly represents their superiority as one of the best live acts, especially on DVD where their music sounds even more outstanding. Added bonuses, like the Do the Evolution and the never before released Oceans music videos make it even more desirable to pick up. A must have for any serious PJ fan.
buscemi-4 Well it isn't seeing them in person, but it's pretty close. Anyone who has ever seen them live needs to own this. You will re-live the happiness that you enjoyed that wonderful night when you last saw them. And for anyone who has not been so fortunate as to see them live, you can see for yourself just what you have been missing.Pearl Jam (Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Ed Vedder, and Matt Cameron) open the set (songs taken from different shows from the 2000 tour) with a moving rendition of "Long Road" and then proceed through the early setlist rockers "Corduroy", "Grievance", and "Animal". Before "Given To Fly", Ed notices a woman who is translating what he says to the crowd in sign language. He invites her on stage for the next song, and then dances with her as the song closes. During the "Rearviewmirror" jam, a highlight of any Pearl Jam show, the video cuts from the performing band and shows some kind of distorted image of the band members walking around - like some kind of hallucination. Then as the jam ends, it cuts back to the performance video.As the band finishes the first encore with "Parting Ways", the camera follows the band as they walk backstage, giving the audience an angle they never see. They return to the stage and rip through Neil Young's "Rockin in the Free World". During the song, Ed helps a young boy up on stage. As Ed sings, the boy just keeps on rockin out. During the closing jam, Ed puts the boy on his shoulders and carries him back alongside drummer Matt Cameron. Ed hands the boy some drum sticks and the boy plays along with Matt.The DVD extra features are very nice as well. Included are three montages from the European leg of the tour, set to previously unreleased instrumentals. Also included are 3 Matt cam videos ("Evacuation", "Evenflow", "In My Tree") where the camera stays on drummer Matt Cameron for the entire song; as well as music videos for "Oceans" and the animated rocker "Do The Evolution".This DVD is reason enough for any Pearl Jam fan to go out and BUY a DVD player. There is no better way to keep your sanity until the next tour, than with "Touring Band 2000".
