I saw them live about a dozen times between 1992-1994. They were one of the best live bands in the world, EVER! I haven’t seen them in many years live – so I was really looking forward to this DVD. BORING! They don’t have a fraction of the energy they used to. They are just stand there and play/sing. Not to mention, not doing their most electric performances live LIVE, BLACK, PORCH. But since it’s their only live DVD, it’s better than nothing. If they really cared about their fans, they would release something from 5-10 years ago. I would pay $100 to catch that on video.

Pearl Jam are a awesome band, well at least they used to be.
They have'nt made any real bad records although "Binural" and "Riot Act" are a bit lifeless and dreary on thw whole.

This DVD however is awful, the performances are bad, the sound is crap and the band have never looked so boring on stage.
Why anyone would of gone to see this tour is beyond any sense.
And then you may say, to listen to the music, well if you wanted to do that you might as well just listen to one of their albums, playing live is different.

Although if you check out the bonus features, it shows a rather impressive collection of live clips from the european part of the tour, which look far more exciting than the amercian one.

Eddie Vedder looks 10 years younger without a beard, Mike McCready looks leaner and the whole band seem to move around alot more with alot more passion and energy.
Why they did'nt just put a show on this DVD from one of the europe shows is jsut ridiculous.
What they need to do is release a live DVD from some of their previous tours when they performed like they cared a bit more.

Live at the garden 2003 is even worse.
Hopefully they'll release a better DVD one day. Rating: 1 / 5

I read all these five star reviews and expected something awesome but recieved what seems to be no better than a bootleg. Eddie needs to learn how to sing live.

The quality of both the audio and (especially) the video ruins any enjoyment this DVD can hope to convey. I couldn’t get past it, and I refuse to watch a video from a band who claims to call themselves “artists”. If they are actually “artists” then I believe they should do a better job with the DVD format – a fantastic palette.
