They're gonna need something to make up for the loss of these cancelled memberships.

You know what would be awesome and make peeps respect them again? Not allowing lotto winners out of the venue with their tickets. My understanding is that Bruce and NIN do this, so surely PJ could pull it off.

That would lead to a longer line. No thanks.

I don't understand? Are people leaving and selling their tickets?

It happens. It's not a big deal though since you have to be a member of 10C and pick up in person.

It’s nit the selling, it’s the multiple accounts that this would hamper.

Pearl Jam's Vitalogy Foundation is auctioning a 'New 2016 Shell-Pink Fender Flea 1961 Jazz Electric Bass' donated by Jeff Ament to raise money for Special Olympics Montana (SOMT). The bass is autographed by all five members of Pearl Jam plus touring organist Boom Gaspar.

SOMT is a state-wide non-profit organization that provides year-round sports training, athletic competition, health and education-related programs, and community-building initiatives for nearly 2,500 Montana citizens with intellectual disabilities.

Details on the bass follow:

New 2016 "Road Worn" shell-pink Fender "Flea 1961 Jazz" electric bass
Made in Mexico (MIM)
Serial Number: MX16771507
Bass is autographed by all five members of Pearl Jam + Boom Gaspar in black sharpie
Comes with black Fender Deluxe gig bag
PLACE YOUR BID through Oct. 13th @ 8:30am PT. For any questions, go here .
do they also make Boom drink from a separate water fountain

These guys could raise a shit ton of money for good causes by selling recordings of Eddie Vedder reading Beowulf in the original text.

It would also appear on more than one "best version of even flow" list.

This from the guy who taught me to buy posters I don't need so I can flip 'em to pay for my tickets.

IIRC, I said buy two in case you accidentally f' up the first one during the show or bringing it home, and if you don't then you can always flip it. AND I think you got two DC Reapers, so you're welcome.

Statement from Sony Music regarding Pearl Jam Vinyl Box Set Numbering:
"Regarding the LP box numbering.

A total of 500 units were to be numbered for sales on pearljam.com. An additional 100 units were to be manufactured for label and band use and not to be sold or numbered. However, due to a manufacturing error, these additional units were also numbered, packaged and delivered. We were unaware of this manufacturing error before we began shipping orders and apologize to the fans who received a number greater than 500."

Why didn't Ten Club announce the existence of this?

I don't disagree with either of those assessments, but why wouldn't Pearl Jam have announced, "visit your local FYE and buy this exclusive thing"?? People from the Pit would have camped out at their local malls to get one.

fye did something similar for the last set of singles. there's nothing special about it other than the bundle packaging, the contents are the same singles that can be had individually.

Post by B » Tue November 14, 2017 11:54 pm

If I was in the market for all six singles, I might gone for that.

The correct lyric in "Rockin' in the Free World" is
"Got a man of the people
Says keep hope alive"

But Eddie *always* sings
"Got a man of the people
Says people alive"

293 times they've played this song and not once has he sung that lyric correctly, and it fucking annoys me.

pearl jam is a lame dog that needs to be taken out back and shot to put it out of its mercy, s/t was ass, backspacer was ass, lightning bolt was ass, it's been the longest gap between studio albums, live shows now are just for unemployed 40 year old europeans who jizz in the pit everytime they play sweet lew or whatever, this band just needs to hang it up
