The Danny Clinch directed movie focuses around the return to Chicago of a native son (Eddie Vedder) who spent his childhood in and around Wrigley Field and has become one of the Cub's most steadfast supporters. It is a celebration, it's about loyalty and brotherhood, perseverance and triumph. But if you watch this film expecting it to be a baseball movie or a concert movie, it's neither.

That warm-heartedness - which may be accentuated due to Vedder playing at the home of his team, surrounded by fans who love the band and the Cubs - seems deeper than it has on previous live Pearl Jam albums, but maybe that's a reflection of the band's middle age. It's an appealing blend and one that helps highlight the consistency of their catalog, since the newer songs feel like good fits alongside the chestnuts - old songs that don't seem worn, since it's clear the band and audience gain sustenance from the music. Here, it's easier to focus on how Pearl Jam seem strong and settled, enjoying their immense power but also sounding quite relaxed in their passion. That 2011 release was a compilation of highlights but this focuses on a particular residency, and the difference is a matter of concentration. Let's Play Two is a concert film documenting that stand and it's accompanied by a live album, which is Pearl Jam's first mass-market live album since Live on Ten Legs.
He was there during the Cubbies' historic World Series win of 2016, singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch of Game 5, an honor for a fan who held the team dear since a child, but earlier in the season, he and Pearl Jam saluted the Cubs with a pair of August concerts at Wrigley Field.
