Sept. 20: Following Pearl Jam‘s Labor Day weekend concert in East Troy, Wis., the band’s ongoing 20th-anniversary celebration continues with the release of the Cameron Crowe-directed documentary “Pearl Jam Twenty.” The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and marries archival footage with recent interviews, will show in select theaters for one night only, before receiving a limited one-week run starting Sept. 23. An accompanying soundtrack, featuring songs selected by Crowe (who also directed 1992’s Seattle-set film “Singles”), will arrive the same day through Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment.
