Changing sides so often would be kind of a drag, surely?

I got it to resale in a few years for like $300. I don't think I'm gonna even open mine.

I'm not sure this is going to hold anywhere near that kind of value in years to come, though hey, stranger things have happened.

Um, have you seen the shit Pearl Jam fans throw money at?

And I'm usually one of those assholes. Not this time. I hope I don't regret it.

Much like the bands level of production....I see a drop off in lunatics who are willing to pay that for a decent boot on vinyl. They will still be out there sure, but far less in numbers after Backspacer II takes a little more shine off of the Pearl Jam mystique.

Im not sure. Most of the same fans who buy records on vinyl will pay a lot of money for a 1998 show. I dont think the mystique has anything to do with these kind of releases.

Listening now for the first time with my Senns.

Guys, this fucking band. Man.

So - the general verdict is that this thing is worth getting?

It's live Pearl Jam from 1998. Why wouldn't you get it?

Frankly, you've already made a mistake by waiting this long.

Well that error has now been remedied!

See guys, this is the speed at which you play Given To Fly.

Not only GTF, also Corduroy.

For sure.

Bup bup! About to do the same

Welp, I busted the headphone jack on my laptop. :/

Too much furious rocking out?

Yup. The giant fucking 1/4 to 1/8 inch adapter on my headphones was putting too much weight on it to begin with, and then i knocked it and now the jack will only pick up the L or R channel, depending on how you jiggle it, but never both at the same time.

Story of my fucking life, bro.
