Pearl Jam: Single Video Theory (1998)
This video is not your typical collection of music videos. Rather than being simply a straightforward presentation of videos, SINGLE VIDEO THEORY also contains footage of the band members recording their album in the studio. The camera captures the actual recording sessions as well as the band members chatting candidly about their concept and ideas for the music. Directed by Mark Pellington and shot in 16mm over 3 days in 1997.

Sadly Over-hyped
How sad is this?
A Brilliant Conflict
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
This DVD might not be for all music fans, but is a must for Pearl Jam fans. This DVD allows the viewer to see inside the Pearl Jam studio as the go through the complicated task of recording an album. This DVD was produced by the greatCameron Crowe (i.e. writer/director of Singles & Almost Famous) . There isover 40 minutes of performance and interviews. Also you get to see Jack Irons performing with the band before he had to leave the band. I do believe that this DVD is now out of print, so if you see it buy it now before it is gone forever.
It was what they are really like how they make their music. I liked it and it made me laugh at some points also. When Eddie say that basically he had a bad attitude then takes it back and says it was all Jeff's fault. Very funny and make them more human then most bands out today.
I feel a little biased because of my devotion to Pearl Jam but this video is excellent. I guess it really wouldn't appeal to you unless you like Pearl Jam. There's really not any appeal here except for the music, but for any devoted fan it's definately a must have.
A really interesting film that allows you to see a band creating and working on music. Watch as Pearl Jam get ready for their 1998 tour by practicing out some new material. Great interviews with the band members allows for some personal moments. See how a great band fights and work through their difficulties. Directed by Mark Pellington, who did their video for "Jeremy" and the director of the film "Arlington Road." Put this one in your collection.
