I haven't bought the album, as I've made the mistake with buying Pearl Jam albums before, but I have listened to every track over several sites, and I gotta say, If you're looking to throw money away on an entire disk of recycled 90's garbage for just one song that frikkin amazing, then this is the cd to do it with! I mean, there is literally only ONE song on this entire album (and it's a really really beautiful song) that's good, but I felt like putting my head through a brick wall when I listened to the rest of the tracks. Now "Just Breathe" is musically perfect; in it's harmony and it's soul and in it's ecclectic peacefulness... You can definitely see where Eddie Vedder has matured in his musical growth! If I could suggest an alternative to buying this album, it would be to pick up the stuff he did for the soundtrack to "Into The Wild"... It's EXACTLY done in the fashion of this track, and it has nothing you'd expect from Pearl Jam in it (which anyone with working ear drums knows that that is a very good thing! So, in conclusion, if you have to have "Just Breathe" for your MP3 player (which I have not been able to find without buying the whole album as of yet) then by all means, buy the album. But if you're like me and really don't like throwing money in the garbage disposal, then DON'T BUY THIS CD!!! I hope this was helpful! Sincerely, Kris Ramer

My daughter suggested I listen to 'Just Breathe' and sent me the url. The tears flowed as I listened to it and thought, "This man KNOWS Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)." and determined to buy the cd. That said, I don't like the other songs or music...probably because I don't understand the words and appreciate it. My kids listen to Pearl Jam, but years ago, I listened to their favorite bands long enough to know I didn't like what they called music. I rate the one song, "Just Breathe" 5 stars and perhaps shouldn't rate the others on the cd, but, to be fair, I truthfully don't like them -- I'm only interested in "Just Breathe." I bought the cd for the one song, highly recommend it and would buy it again. Now, if someone can tell me how to erase the other songs from the cd and keep "Just Breathe"...? :)

This is how bands should make and sell cd's. This is the version which comes with download codes to get two complete PJ shows (like an additional 60 some songs!!!!!) First the Backspacer album itself. Incredible. Production and songs are amazing. The first two songs have a more hardcore edge. Fixer opens up into an amazing anthem sound. Poetic lyrics, amazing singing, hard rocking guitars, excellent drumming and bass. This is the best band of the last twenty years, and this album proved it to me. This album is a MUST listen to. The entire album as a whole flows great together. Especially from Just Breathe to The End. It is concise and tight, and not a moment is wasted. Awesome. Again, this is the version where you get to choose from 10 or 12 concerts and can download those COMPLETE concerts. So for one price you get the album, and two complete shows. This is a deal you cannot beat. After hearing the live shows, I have been converted into a complete Pearl Jam maniac!!!! Believe me, this album is and band is ALL THAT!!!!!

I thought I was purchasing a vinyl copy and it turned out to be a CD. Also, I paid for 2-3 day shipping and it didn't get there on time as they mistakenly ordered regular shipping and charged me for 2-3 day shipping. I called and they took care of the overcharge and apologized. My biggest complaint was that when I typed in vinyl copy, I got two choices as seen here on the right. That is why I assumed it was the vinyl copy.

I've been a fan of Neil Diamond, for too many years. I look back at his first L.P. records, that I have and see this young guy on the covers, and I can't believe that the Neil Diamond of today still sounds as good as he did way back then. I bought this DVD, which included an extra 10 CD with it, and I've listened again, and again. I think I have every CD, Album, and cassette that Neil ever recorded, including a record album, just for D.J.s. It was a skripted, interview on record, just like he was sitting there talking to the interviewer...Now about this DVD, I enjoyed going back to Neil's home town of Brooklyn, N.Y. and laughing when he would ask some of the guys that live in his old neighborhood today, if they knew who he was....most didn't.....the look on their faces..the whole DVD is worth just watching his old neighborhood and listening to Beautiful Noise and thinking how it must have been listening to the city from an apt. and putting words and music to it...If one has the means to listen and watch this DVD on a great sounding surround system, then it's even better..I've seen Neil twice in Birmingham, AL. and this DVD takes me back to then sitting on the 7th row, dead center..not believing I'm there. The only thing I missed was a big cloud of smoke coming out of the floor and seeing him arise from the floor with his white, sparkley, shiny costume on bigger than life..like a music god...singing AMERICA.....I love this DVD.

If you like Neil Diamond's music, then buy this CD. It is one of his best live performances, maybe the best. You will not be disappointed.

First of all this was not done in 2008. It was not a DVD/CD. The pictures on the cover were of Neal in the 70s. Not happy at all with my purchase. The seller was supposed to send my money back and has not. The case was broken and the mail packaging was torn.

It takes you to the neighborhood where he grew up. He went to see where he lived and the people let him see the apartment. He talked with a bunch of boys on bicycles on his music. They haven't heard of his songs but it was fine with him. Different generation. Different kind of music. Great concert.

I've been a Neil Diamond fan for years, and watching this concert DVD was a pleasure to my senses, I especially liked the "welcome home" preamble to the dvd, it was fun watching Neil walk through the old neighborhood, then the build up to the performance that evening, if you are a Neil Diamond fan, I believe you will find this worth it, some of his performances seemed a bit lackluster, he seemed to be "going through the motions" at some points of the show, but on other songs he really belted them out with energy & was really into pleasing the audience.
