a soaring ‘Given To Fly’ from ‘98's middling Yield a couple of fan-favourite covers like Victoria Williams’ ‘Crazy Mary’ and The Beatles’ ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’ (what, no ‘Baba O’Reilly’? C’mon…) and of course a full run of the legendary moments from their debut album Ten - ‘Jeremy’, ‘Black’ and, yes, ‘Alive’. So we get a sing-along, cry-along ‘Better Man’ pulled from ‘94's Vitalogy alongside a soulful ‘Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town’ from the previous year’s astonishing Vs. While both concerts will be released as 'bootlegs' in their entirety (something the band have a long history with - once releasing 25 shows as separate bootleg CDs back in 2000), this is a skim across the surface of Pearl Jam’s back catalogue perhaps aimed at bringing in casuals who, at a glance, will recognise some of the titles and recall someone mentioning how earth-endingly awesome a live proposition they are. To mark this spectacular victory Vedder drew his troops to the home of the cubs, Wrigley Field, for, as the title would suggests, two nights of Pearl Jam in concert - playing to thousands of crossover Cubs/Jam fans.Ī documentary team headed by Danny Clinch followed the band through the ball season and through the shows themselves and what we have here is a 17-song taster soundtrack to the film of the same title. Slightly more unlikely a fan is hometown hero Eddie Vedder of erstwhile classic rock/punk/folk/who-even-knows-anymore band Pearl Jam. Of course among the Cubs perennial celebrity fans are the kind of lovable jock-ish rogues one would expect - former WWE World Champion CM Punk, professional Bill Murray impersonator Bill Murray and professional John Belushi impersonator Jim Belushi. Is there anything more perfect than an eternal underdog story in sports? The Chicago Cubs made history in 2016 with a World Series win that ended their 108-year drought - the longest in the history of baseball.
