DVD Reviews of Pearl Jam - Single Video Theory

DVD Review: Must have for any PJ fan
Summary: 5 Stars

Great "behind the scenes" look at Pearl Jam during recording sessions for their 5th studio album "Yield." Great sound, great quality. This got me into Yield, which is by far my favorite PJ album. Only thing wrong with it is that it is too short :)

DVD Review: This is a loser.
Summary: 1 Stars

Do yourself a favor. Get Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live at Slane Castle instead.

DVD Review: Yield to a great rock DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

Shot entirely in their soon to be demolished (2006) practice studios during the rehearsals for their "Yield" album, "Single Video Theory" shows you Pearl Jam at work. This is a treat, not just for PJ fans. See a band at the top of their game collaborating, jamming, and shaping a great rock album. Highly recommended.

DVD Review: I'm not trying to make a difference
Summary: 5 Stars

Pearl Jam's Single Video Theory isn't what the title implies. There's no videos or any talk of videos, what this film is however, is a glimpse into what the members of PJ think of the songs off of the Yield release. Yield is one of my favorite CDs by Pearl Jam so to hear each song at least partially performed is gratifying enough. Hearing each member talk about the songs is something that I like about this DVD, I also like the fact that it's not just Ed talking, if anything Mike, Stone, and Jeff get more camera time. To know there's no real power struggle going on is a good pick-me-up. The sound quality is as if you're simply listening to the CD and Ed nails every lyric. To hear every song off Yield played was good because most of my favorites aren't songs I've ever heard PJ play live. Take No Way for instance, they don't play this song very much at all so to hear even the part of it they do play is good enough for me. Same goes for Brain Of J. Two of the songs played best were All Those Yesterdays and Given To Fly but those songs are always played with such emotion that it's hard to screw them up. I really like the way the band describes Given To Fly, I feel it gives the song that much more meaning. In Hiding has an interesting backstory to it and is played in full much to my delight. In Hiding is one of those songs that doesn't really take off till the chorus, so I'm glad they did the song justice and played it in it's entirety.

If you're expecting some stellar live footage, don't count on it, Pearl Jam is playing the songs in a studio. If you're expecting to hear some landmark songs that they've made over the years, don't count on it, Pearl Jam only plays the songs from Yield. If you're a fan of PJ then you're sure to see the beauty in this extremely minimal release. And if you like Yield, then you're bound to love it. I was surprised with what I was given with this DVD but by no means I disappointed. Single Video Theory is no Touring Band 2000, but it gets the job done.

DVD Review: Excellent companion for an EXCELLENT album!
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm reviewing the VHS version because I just haven't gotten the DVD yet. I really enjoyed this video! Although only about 45 minutes long, it's a real eye-opener for the fan to see what all goes into making an album. This is "behind the scenes" of their 5th studio album (and one of their BEST), "Yield". This album is easily one of my personal favorites, so I really got a lot out of this. Very insightful, with band members discussing how the songs were created, their relationships with eachother, life in general, etc. It is over all real interesting, and a pleasure to see and hear the first attempts of favorite songs from the album. It also features Jack Irons as the drummer, who would be later replaced by Matt Cameron. I WISH they did a video like this for ALL of their albums- it's that GOOD! If you consider yourself a true fan, you will really enjoy this. But if you're just a casual fan and don't know all their songs and don't really care, this may not be for you. Also keep in mind it is NOT a concert video- it's merely a DOCUMENTARY of the making of "Yield". If you want a concert DVD, I HIGHLY suggest "Touring Band 2000" or "Live At The Garden". Both are extremely entertaining (see my reviews on them). But if you love "Yield" and want to see how it was made and the thought that went into it, by all means get this- you'll love it.
