GarethFlatlands Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Anyone watch this on BBC4 last night? 'Ten' was the first album I ever bought with my own money and while I haven't bought an album since 'Yield', this was still an interesting look back at their career. It was also fun to spot some of Jeffs nice basses, including a very nice fretless Wal and a nice looking old P he cracks out when jamming to Ramones records.

bartelby Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I saw it at a small cinema when it was released. I left the cinema feeling like I'd been to a gig... I got the Bluray for xmas. It's a great film, I watched it again a couple of days ago. I like the bass he was using for their early live stuff, looked like a Jazz with a P p-up added between the Js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I've got it, it's a bit longer on disc, about 20 minutes I think, no idea why they crop it for BBC4. Watched it loads. Really disappointed I didn't get to see it in the cinema. Jeff's a great player, plays for the song every time. I'm all booked up to see PJ 8 times this year so I'll clear off now before I start to bore people senseless with a band most folk haven't heard about since the 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about his playing, it never jumps out at you as being flashy but you listen closely there's a lot of good stuff going on. From the looks of it he grew up in the middle of nowhere and presumably practiced a lot out of lack of anything else to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 As a Pearl Jam "neutral" I watched the first 15 minutes and found it really dull and not engaging, poorly shot and edited. I didn't stick with it, which is most unlike me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
