What’s on tap for the soundtrack to Pearl Jam Twenty, the Cameron Crowe-directed concert and documentary film celebrating twenty years of the grunge pioneers? Twenty-nine handpicked performances from hours of previously unreleased live footage, at all levels of sound quality. This means well-worn PJ classics like “Alive” and “Garden,” both from their landmark first album, Ten, as well as later-era songs like the folky “Thumbing My Way” and covers of Neil Young and Mother Love Bone see lo-fi presentations that get across how visceral the band can be live. Its long and rambling approach do Pearl Jam a favor by loosening things up for a band that can sound caged on record yet unassailable on stage — check out how Eddie Vedder shreds his voice over the band’s nasty groove on “Do the Evolution.” It’s a fine tribute to an equally loved and misunderstood band that undoubtedly found its strongest voice onstage.
