got the new pearl jam film concert dvd/documentary Immagine in Cornice: Picture in a Frame........ and watched it over the weekend.......the best non movie dvd ive ever seen, and better than any movie ive seen this year prob. the whole style of the concert dvd/documentary and the way it is directed it brilliant, and proves that they are one of if not the greatest live bands of our time.
its pretty much a documentary of their italian leg of their european tour last year. it shows about 25 songs from various italian shows ranging from bologna to verona to smaller towns like pistoria, and in between songs is the documentary part where the cameras follow them while they are backstage, after shows, going sight seeins our just out o chat with the public about the world today. also goes into a bit of depth on their political stance with the wars going on today, and after seeing it you really 'get' the band and what they are all about. some parts even brought a tear to my eye esp when eddie chats with the italian locals about world issues. all filmed in great quality hi def wtih awesome 5.1 surround. so yeah cameras even go to obscure shut down skate parts to film bassist jeff going for a skate, shows eddie and the b3 organ/piano player 'boom' go to some of the big churches to have a play with their world famous organs too. very spine tingling stuff. the documentary part has an awesome moody melodic soundtrack too made my the gutiarists from the band.
so yeah in conclusion 11/10......a must for anyone who doesnt mind pearl jam, this dvd makes you like them a whole lot more. lots of old, lots of new songs on there. already burning couple copies for friends if anyone wants to 'back up' their copy let me know via pm and il help ya out
heres a random review from google.....
I mean, let's face it; Pearl Jam haven't really sold records in any massive numbers since their debut album, Ten, but what makes them such an enduring, and great band, is the fact that they kick major ass in a live show. Personally, what I like about Pearl Jam — other than the fact that they champion good causes, and generally seem to be legitimately nice guys — is the fact that they still know how to rock.
So you may still ask, what makes this DVD any different than the half a dozen others which capture Pearl Jam in concert? Well for one thing, this one is done a little differently. Pearl Jam's Immagine in Cornice: Picture in a Frame is shot like an actual documentary. It follows the band on a 2006 tour of Italy. The music is still very much front and center, and there is plenty of it.
These guys are arguably one of the best live rock bands in the world. Pearl Jam fans already know this, of course, but the performances captured here really do bring that point home. From what are now classics like "Even Flow," "Alive," and up through last year's "World Wide Suicide," the intensity captured here is absolutely undeniable. Especially when they get to the encore of Neil Young's "Rocking In The Free World." Vedder climbs the scaffolds and the crowd goes absolutely nuts.
What is captured in this DVD is a short, but very sweet, capsule of that live experience. Eddie Vedder, in particular, takes the crowds to a near rapturous experience.
What makes this DVD just a bit different is what you see in between the great concert footage. Such as when you see Eddie huddled down with an Italian interpreter to get the words just right so that they translate to "in a time of war, we will sing songs that speak of the importance of peace." Seriously, you've gotta love these guys.
The extras on the DVD include a great live performance of The Who's "A Quick One (While He's Away)," with what looks suspiciously looks like the guys from My Morning Jacket. Take my word for it. This is great stuff.
