- sfrench, on 06/17/2008, -1/+39Pearl Jam has been doing this program for every tour since 2000. Each tour they have changed things up slightly, and the 2008 method finally combines the right digital formats, and also gives the option to get physical media if you desire.

They also have encouraged sharing the concerts in the past, with the one caveat of not doing it while the recordings are still actually for sale. - somberlaine, on 06/17/2008, -5/+34Pearl Jam ---DUGG
- shinedout, on 06/17/2008, -1/+19The boots are amazing quality and I can't wait to pick up the one from Bonaroo, set list is INSANE.

- groverblue, on 06/17/2008, -2/+19I'm going to see Pearl Jam this Friday. =)
- wayyy, on 06/17/2008, -1/+13And make incredibly good music.
- sfrench, on 06/17/2008, -1/+10They use the word "bootleg" in quite a liberal sense. They are actually soundboard sourced and remixed by the band's sound engineer before being released.
I'm listening to the 07/18/06 - San Fran show right now. Guitars, vocals, and drums are all at good levels, and they just mix in the *tiniest* bit of crowd noise to give you the live feeling. - jonnytwoshoes, on 06/17/2008, -1/+9Seriously old news. But PJ on Digg? DUGG...
- coastyvet, on 06/17/2008, -1/+9HEY METALLICA, this is how you do it.
- DeadSkinMask, on 06/17/2008, -1/+9I just saw Pearl Jam at Bonnaroo a couple nights ago and they put on a 3 hour set!
Great Show! - digitalpencil, on 06/17/2008, -2/+9God love PJ!! Net neutrality advocates, eco activists and charity fundraisers.. not to mention the best band going!!
- rbk303, on 06/17/2008, -0/+7They really are a great band.
- Buzzby, on 06/17/2008, -2/+9Wish Pearl Jam would come to England again...
- shinedout, on 06/17/2008, -1/+8I don't not like Metallica, but at least I know Pearl Jam doesn't want to sue me for copying CDs.
- digitalpencil, on 06/17/2008, -0/+7agreed!!! Vedder truly is the metatron, his work for Into the Wild was equally stunning.
- digitalpencil, on 06/17/2008, -2/+8God love PJ!! net neutrality advocates, eco activists & charity workers.. not to mention the best band going!!
- musicfreak87, on 06/17/2008, -3/+9This is beginning to be a good day.
- alapoet, on 06/16/2008, -1/+7Shades of the Dead!
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -0/+6And now he's been buried again.
- rmancuso, on 06/17/2008, -1/+7Pearl Jam is one of the best bands ever.
- tk421DoYouCopy, on 06/17/2008, -1/+7Primus has also been doing something similar for a good while now
- jen79, on 06/17/2008, -0/+5Dugg - because I wish I was! I hope they extend the tour soon.
- lukelucas, on 06/17/2008, -0/+4is... that why you're here?
- xtinamo, on 06/17/2008, -0/+4I'm glad to have had the opportunity to digg you up for once.
- sfrench, on 06/17/2008, -0/+4I'm kinda pumped to hear WMA from Bonaroo with the acoustic intro.
- svensko, on 06/17/2008, -1/+5I just saw them last night in Cola, SC. >_> _>
- ITNick, on 06/17/2008, -0/+4Theyre touring the east coast right now, heres hoping for more dates to come! http://www.tenclub.net/news/index.php?what=News#24 ...

- DreKor, on 06/17/2008, -1/+5You can get married in CA now. You must be excited.
- DreKor, on 06/17/2008, -0/+4I've gotten the bootlegs for every concert I've gone to in the past 5 years, and they're great. It's also nice to get some of the foreign shows, Tokyo is usually good. You can get some very interesting set lists, alternate versions, and B-sides.
- DeadSkinMask, on 06/17/2008, -1/+5Although I agree with your comment, im still going to bury you.
- chrispchiken, on 06/17/2008, -2/+5Is it really a bootleg if they release it?
Isn't it a release? - inactive, on 06/18/2008, -0/+31984 was a happy time, in part due to that fact.
- TrAvELAr, on 06/17/2008, -2/+5God I love Pearl Jam. While this is hardly Digg-worthy, I had to Digg it. They've been doing this since 2000, and while every tour is different, I think they got it right this time around.
- Calcularius, on 06/17/2008, -0/+3Widespread Panic has been doing this for years.
http://www.livewidespreadpanic.com/ - RiverBelow, on 06/17/2008, -2/+5You're dumb.
- sfrench, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2Exactly... when they do a West Coast tour, I'm there for every show I can possibly make. I'm definitely hoping for another 3 night San Francisco stint.
- MoralThreat, on 06/17/2008, -1/+3No, it's how to be a duechebag.
- TimmyGUNZ, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2So has Pearl Jam. This author acts as if this is a brand new thing. They sold downloads from the last tour as well.
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -0/+2A Pearl Jam theme wedding. *****' A Dude!
- whiteknives, on 06/17/2008, -1/+3What's with the thumbnail?
- drlove56, on 06/17/2008, -1/+3I'll bite. Pearl Jam didn't exist until 1990. Before your time, I'm sure.
- jimmies, on 06/17/2008, -1/+3Pearl Jam doesn't have a reputation for going after their fans. Metallica does, and therefore sucks.
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1Just try not to make it a habit.
:) - xxpor, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1They played who you are? they havent played that since irons left the band!
- jurvusbob, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1this isn't the official recording, but a great source from an audience taper: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=515924
- RetardoCrisp, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1It really is not a bootleg if they themselves release it, record it, and/or charge money for it. Bootlegs are done by fans illegally recording live shows without the band's knowledge. It is just a pseudo way of marketing to buy live recorded shows. The Pixies did this about 4 years ago on their reunion tour offering the live recordings of the show shortly after they finished playing. Cool to see PJ back on tour but bootleg this is not.
- jen79, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1Hmm...don't really see too many 13 yr old girls at the concerts. Most of them have aged and are now in their late 20's and 30's ;)
- bluenash, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Cool. To co-opt a political phrase....it's about the music stupid.
