New Pearl Jam iTunes Store...

[mkay0]

I've only purchased one thing from the iTunes store in my life. Should I check out one of these Vault shows are get the real deal?

There is nothing new on iTunes. Its all been available elsewhere. That being said, those four shows in the 'From the Vault' category are all outstanding.

Is the Chicago 2007 Vault show any good? I'm not sure I'd ever seen that before - when did it come out? Was this the PJ20 one?

It came out last summer. It's pretty good--great setlist, and surprisingly well-executed for the number of rarities in the show. 2007 being a relatively undocumented year, you can kind of hear that "modern Pearl Jam pall" setting in a little bit (little mannerisms in Eddie's voice, the sort of careless rush through the songs), but it's worth checking out.

Thanks - might investigate.

Also the 92 vault show is selling for $3 on the PJ website if anyone doesn't have this.

I didn't know about that Chicago 2007 show on the vault. But, the audience recording that's out there is already really good anyway.

Damn it. I thought you meant the Moore show. I just had a totally unnecessary rush of adrenaline.

"Four new titles from the Vault" is a very misleading way for them to describe it, considering it's an email they sent to 10C members...

What e-mail?

10C didn't send you an email about this? I can forward it to you if you want to see it. It's not very exciting.

Can't believe I've never listened to this show. I have the audience version from a download some time ago. How is the sound quality on the "Vault" issue ?

Vic '07 is probably one of my favorite boots that I've ever heard

It's mixed by Brett Eliason, so it's really good (i.e. better than any of the 2008-2010 boots).

Not sure how much they are in the US iTunes store, but here thanks to the 'Australia tax' they're $18.99 which only undercuts the price of the physical (and superior sounding) CD version by a buck o' five, so the choice is obvious.

Regarding these shows, wasn't it always the policy of the band/10C that if the bootlegs weren't for sale on the website that they didn't mind free trading of these? So now that all this stuff is on iTunes, does that mean legally we aren't allowed to trade this stuff anymore?

The 2006 US boots have been on iTunes for years and no one's batted an eyelid, so I don't think this changes anything (and besides, their only selling lossy versions on iTunes).

Also the 92 vault show is selling for $3 on the PJ website if anyone doesn't have this.

Which brings me to one last thing - can you believe the nerve of this band to charge $18.99 for a lossy audience recording?!

They're still trying to get rid of this, huh? How many copies did they print up? Did they think they were gonna sell like 3 million fan club editions of S/T?

If anyone else wants it. http://us4.campaign-archive2.com/?u=792 ... ffa4d7613c I have no idea how there is an e-mail list that I am not on.

Apologies for not being more specific.

2006 US dates were added.

There's 31 in there, and I count 32 shows from Albany to Portland, so something's missing. I don't know what.
