2013 Official Bootlegs

[CopperTom]

Has there been an official announcement regarding official bootlegs for the US 2013 shows? I read on a non-PJ website that the first bootleg (hopefully London and Wrigley) won't be released until the tour concludes. I haven't been able to find any solid word on RM or at Synergy. Does anyone know?

I don't think there's been any official comments on the boots.

They've taken weeks/months after the shows to release them in recent years, so I'm not too concerned.

I cant convey how bad I want to hear the Worcester I boot.

[WtOB?]

they should ttly release these.

[Birds in Hell]

The bootlegs have sounded incredible since Brett returned in 2011, I'm happy for them to take as long to release them as they need.

I'd prefer for them to take as long as they need, but I'd like confirmation.

[WtOB?]

yeah, as long as they actually release them.

[ride the wave]

any ideas when the first bootlegs are coming out?

[Birds in Hell]

I emailed them a few weeks ago, they finally responded yesterday to tell me they have no information at this time.

[WtOB?]

[WtOB?]

no information on when they're coming out or if they're coming out, i wonder.

[Birds in Hell]

It's just their pro-forma response, I'll be surprised if they don't come out eventually.

I am slightly concerned that there has no been no official announcement, and their stance is "no comment". That is unlike tours in the past, I believe. I understand it has taken them longer recently, but I think I recall there always being some announcement at some point prior to the tour being over. It's always a treasure to relive portions of the tour, shows that i went to, etc... and to not have that would change how experience the new album from all others in the past... Always interesting to hear the new songs clearly in the mix of the older songs. It's different from the actual show experience, being there.

I can't imagine they would just stop the bootleg thing all of the sudden and not release anything, but they've done some surprising things lately, so who knows.

[Biff Pocoroba]

We've not heard anything about London & Wrigley and those were months ago.

The 10C sent out a merch email with no mention of these. *gulp*

In a newsletter regarding PJ20 screenings there was a hint at 2013 bootlegs. That you get a coupon or something like this.

23.9.2013:

Pearl Jam is teaming up with Gathr to bring Pearl Jam Twenty to theaters in select cities in the U.S.

Experience Pearl Jam Twenty in a theater. Watch it again or view it for the first time if you missed the original theatrical release. At these select screenings, before the original film, Pearl Jam will bring you a special feature that includes interviews and live performances of songs from their forthcoming album Lightning Bolt.

Also with your ticket purchase Pearl Jam and Gathr will send you a free digital bootleg download from a select show after the 2013 North American Tour.

That would be fine. But they could just, you know, say that.

I don't remember a tour where they hadn't even addressed it halfway through. Maybe the 2000 tour, i think that first run of official boots wasn't announced until after it was over.

Also, as far as the PJ20 screening email goes, it never says who chooses the "select" show, it could very well mean that they won't be releasing all of them.

Maybe they don't want me to make mixes anymore.

Unless the quality of the songs live would make people want to buy the album.

Phish and Widespread Panic have these shows out to fans within 3 days. They use Nugs.net just like Pearl Jam. I don't get PJ's problem.
