NEW YORK (AP) — To many fans of Pearl Jam, the band’s two-concert stand last summer at Wrigley Field in Chicago was epic. What happened a few months later at that hallowed venue was also pretty epic to baseball fans. Filmmaker Danny Clinch combined them.
In the new documentary “Let’s Play Two,” the concerts became the soundtrack for the Chicago Cubs ending their 108-year World Series drought, tied together by band frontman Eddie Vedder, a lifelong Cubs fan.
Clinch’s cameras captured a dozen live Pearl Jam songs performed Aug. 20 and Aug. 22, 2016, including “Last Exit,” ”Jeremy” and “Inside Job,” while also charting the electrifying World Series run that fall and celebrating the city of Chicago.
