How awesome!!!
Not many of you would share these feelings, but for someone who is a diehard Pearl Jam fan and Apple enthusiast, this is a match made in heaven.
From the content of the article it makes perfect sense too - it's so easy to make great looking dvds using DV cams, FCP and DVDSP that it makes sense for Pearl Jam to be using these tools on tour, and for their own crew to do it rather than getting a professional crew - especially so for those of you who can remember the famous moment in the Even Flow video where Eddie tells the film crew 'Josh turn down the lights, this isn't a TV studio it's a ****ing rock concert!'
But the results are fantastic, better than most of the bs over-produced music DVDs of chart-pop and other rock groups. And so much more authentic too - really feels so much closer to the action, and less staged or melodramatic. And imagine that set up Kevin has on the tour bus - what an incredible job!
I remember the 12 and 17 inch Powerbooks came out in Januray 2003, just after I'd bought my iBook. I was showing a friend of mine the promo vids for them on my iBook just before we went to the Adelaide show last year on 16 February. And to think that right then Kevin was sitting in the Entertainment Centre busily at work on his own Powerbook, cutting together the Sydney shows.
And Liz was shooting DV right behind us on the third night in Melbourne - in fact the photo of her on page 3 of the article is on that night (you can tell by the vent/balcony and the 'No Moshing' etc sign in the background), and the camera just misses us - we were next to the girl in pink. So nearly realised two dreams - being in a Pearl Jam DVD and being on the Apple website!
Great article. I am wholly satisfied :)
