review 1: Any fan who owns No Code & Binaural, can name more than one Mother Love Bone song (not including Crown of Thorns), has been to more than 3 live shows and has a stick man sticker or tattoo, already owns this book.I'm writing this review for anyone who once loved Pearl Jam (one of the 900,000+ individuals to buy Vs. in the first week) but stopped following after '95. You guys all need to pick this up. Only by going back in time, becoming a roadie and touring with the band could you get a more complete understanding & backstory about songs, reasons for events, changes to the line up, concerts and personal challenges Eddie, Mike, Jeff, Stone, Matt and all the other drummers have faced and dealt with over the past 20+ years. Page turner to say the least. Such a well chronicled... more saga of one of the worlds greatest rock bands. A fantastic marriage to Crowe's documentary on film.
review 2: I have a book about Mozart, and I always thought that someday (probably around retirement) I would read the book and listen to his works as I read about them. Instead, I did that with this book about Pearl Jam. It was much easier - I've been a fan since the beginning, so I already have all the music. All I had to do was read about the albums, and then play the albums. It was a fun journey.I generally like and appreciate music more when I know more about the context - what the artists were experiencing when they made it. Therefore, this is a great book, because it is full of this type of information, as well as tons of artwork, concert posters, and pictures.And, on a personal note, I remember having tickets to a Milwaukee show at the height of the band fighting Ticketmaster (about 1994). They cancelled the show, and I was worried about losing my money, so I made sure I got my money back. Then two days later, the shows were back on, and I didn't get my tickets back. This book allowed me to relive that moment, and my massive teenage disappointment at not being able to see that concert. (Many years later, I saw them open for Tom Petty at Summerfest, so it's all good now.) less
