Pearl Jam 20 4 M&Ms


As far as documentaries go this was one for the ages. It brought back so many memories of that time in my life, and I'm sure it would in everyone that's been fans of PJ.

The doc shows a lot of never before seen footage of the PJ through the years, and a lot of interviews with all the band members. The doc is directed by Cameron Crowe who is a great director (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Singles), and he was a writer for Rolling Stones during the grunge years. It has a lot of things that I knew nothing about with PJ, but a lot of things I already knew. The footage of Kurt Cobain is awesome and it makes you remember how sad it is that some people can't handle the pressure of success. Their perseverance to still be relevant today is amazing, and it is hard to imagine any of these bands today recreating what they have done. 20 years of PJ...that's crazy to think that it's been 20 years. Check it out if you get time.
