Trivia
When asked how he felt about the film, bassist Jeff Ament claimed he felt uncomfortable with how often he used profanity on camera.

Goofs
Eddie Vedder dedicates a performance to Kurt Cobain and the date is given as "April 8th, 1994 - The Day Kurt Died". This may appear as a goof, as in some places it is mentioned that Kurt Cobain died on April 5th 1994.

Both dates are relevant: April 8th is the day Kurt Cobain was discovered dead. The coroner established that he had died on April 5th.

Quotes
Mike McCready: [about Andrew Wood, singer of Mother Love Bone] He would do something like go to The Central Tavern when there was 25 people there. He play it like it was The Colosseum. "To all you people in the back!" And there's like... the guy at the door.

Great documentary

Great documentary. Who better to direct it than Cameron Crowe, Oscar-winning film-maker and former Rolling Stone rock journalist. Crowe also has a connection with Pearl Jam through them appearing in his second movie, Singles.

Well structured. Doesn't sit still for a moment, yet covers all the detail you will need.

Superb, and sometimes quite rare, live footage. Crowe's research is extensive, as he has unearthed behind-the-scenes footage that even the band members probably didn't realise existed.

While some rock band documentaries fall flat because they feature celebrities going on about how great the band is, this dispenses with all that empty sucking up and concentrates on the band and its music.

A definite must-see for all fans of the band.
