Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've always found that visual music media always struggles to really bring any atmosphere to my living room when viewing. It just never really works to me and I end up feeling that I may as well just have bought the audio. One exception was Metallica's S&M Metallica - S and M [DVD] [1999] [Region 1] [NTSC] because that really was a visual experience (metal meets an orchestra) that worked.
I won't mix my words and come straight out with I think that EV is the greatest male singer of this genre around. Massive debate I know but that's my opnion. He's at his best on a stool, with a mic and that's it. On Water on the road, we have EV on a stool with a selection of stringed instruments and a harmonica whiping through his catalogue of mainly acoustic tracks that he's built up recently. It's all taking place on what looks like a high school stage! The way that it's shot does make you question if there's a crowd or not and sometimes there isn't (the camera shot shows just an empty hall). Water on the road, isn't just a simple live concert slapped onto a disc, it's broken up with a few snippets of Eddie doing other stuff away from perfoming.
The Blu-Ray quality is excellent and we are given a choice of DTS-HD 5.1 or a straight uncompressed stereo. What I can't figure out is why there are another 2 excellent tracks from the performance as extra's. Why not just have them in the main feature??? It would have been nice to have had an audio copy for free too.
If you want to see a genius at work, purchase Water on the road, sit back and admire. I don't think he's quite at his best vocally (because he's not just singing) but he's still awesome.

Format:DVD
I believe that a big Pearl Jam fan will hardly have any patience or care to spend alot of time reading reviews before buying this item. Unless if it's out of anticipation. Eddie Vedder means alot as a musician to Pearl Jam fans. To have a clearer daydream about this item if it's on its way to you, here is the songlist
The Canyon
Sometimes
Trouble
Around the Bend
Girl from the North Country
Guaranteed
Setting Forth
Far Behind
No Ceiling
Rise
Golden State
Society
Forever Young
Ed Piano (Instrumental)
I'm Open
Man of the Hour
Drifting
No More
You're True
Ukelele Interlude (Instrumental)
Unthought Known
Arc
Hard Sun
The Canyon (reprise)
As for new or less-than-big fans, it's an acoustic live rock show. He wrote amazing songs and lyrics. In this show, he's playing the ukelele, acoustic guitar and electric guitar (e.g. Stratocaster had that beautiful clean ringing sound played on "Forever Young"). He was joined by other musicians a couple of times on the stage. The songs could breathe but they were played with alot of care that they did not feel lacking any other instruments to me. They were written to be played this way, I believe. The way the DVD was shot is great too. Alot of close-ups on Eddie and the ukelele. It's never too late to discover the world of Eddie Vedder (and Pearl Jam as well) songs and music. It is easy to catch up if you like them because you will enjoy the process. That's actually the best part if you liked them so very much.

Eddie Vedder is as fantastic as ever. His solo material is different from Pearl Jam but every bit a pleasure and stunningly amazing. It may not appeal to every Pearl Jam fan but I loved it, I hope he keeps up his solo material as well as Pearl Jam too. I have been a Pearl Jam fan for years and think Eddie has the voice of an Angel and this was wonderful to watch and listen to there were tracks from the spectacular Into the Wild soundtrack and other material I had not heard, also backstage material. I love it.

If you love Eddie Vedder, you'll love this
For Vedder, this is really mellow compared to the Pearl Jam stuff he's done. There appears to be many influences in this dvd which Vedder talks about. Read more

Brilliant
His voice is still brilliant 20 years on. No matter what type of song, loud or soft, he somehow manages to pull it off. Plus he's very funny. Read more
