Pearl Jam - Twenty
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Pearl Jam - TwentyDirector Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous) has been friends with Pearl Jam since they all lived in Seattle in the 1980s. That intimacy enhanced his new documentary on the alt-rock heroes, drawn from 1,200 hours of rare footage. The companion soundtrack is similarly packed with rarities, including demos and live recordings. The double CD features an early, Mookie Blaylock-version of “Alive,” a rapturous crowd singalong to “Betterman” and a thrilling 2010 performance with Neil Young of his “Walk with Me.”
