intodeep Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 way better than the picture in a frame dvd. one of my favorites. it's got a nice set list and it's an actual show, which i prefer. the video quality isn't that good, but the sound is great. personally i think it's on par with live at the garden, although i'm a big riot act fan which has a lot of songs on this set. i would strongly recommend it. I agree the showbox dvd is pretty awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dmada Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 the showbox DVD is great because of the setting and the energy But the quality of the italy DVD (immagine in cornice )makes it #1 as far as the concert DVDs go-and the backstage stuff is great single video theory is actually my favorite touring band, live at the garden, showbox, SVT, and immagine are all great Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 From Billboard.com: Exclusive: Pearl Jam Confirms Target Tie-UpPearl JamJune 01, 2009 03:29 PM ETBill Werde, N.Y. (twitter.com/bwerde)Pearl Jam was indeed recording a Target commercial under the direction of Cameron Crowe last week at Seattle's Showbox theater, Billboard can confirm. But there's more to the story than an exclusive retail relationship. While it has been known that Pearl Jam are no longer under contract after 18 years of recording for Sony-affiliated labels, there has been only speculation about who would release their next album and how. Kelly Curtis, who has managed Pearl Jam since day one, conducted a wide-ranging interview with Billboard on Sunday night, confirming that the band's next release - rumored to be called "Backspacer" and currently scheduled for an early fall release - would come without a U.S. label, but a consortium of partners, including Target as the "big box" retail partner. "We'll have a lot of partners," said Curtis, who confirmed that deals were also finished or in the works with an online retailer, a mobile partner, a gaming company and with a network or possibly networks of indie retail stores. "Target ended up allowing us to have other partners. We'll be able to take care of all levels of the Pearl Jam fan...We wish we could tell the whole story right now, but all the deals aren't done. Target was cool enough to realize that little independent record stores are not their competition." Curtis was also quick to note that the album would be for sale via Pearl Jam's fan club, Ten Club. News of the Target commercial taping first broke last week on antiquiet.com, which is also hosting a bootleg recording from the Target taping of a song that Curtis confirmed was called "The Fixer." While a first single hasn't been definitively chosen from the new album yet, the song is in the running. An official first single will likely be released in July. Curtis said that the Target commercial was only one reason for the Showbox session; with singer Eddie Vedder on tour supporting his solo work for the next month, "we had a narrow window to get some footage," says Curtis. "We shot three or four songs that night." Curtis said that some of the footage may be used for a project that Cameron Crowe is working on in connection to the band's 20th anniversary. Pearl Jam will play at least one new song tonight on the debut of "The Tonight Show" with Conan O'Brien. "That was booked months ago," said Curtis. "We didn't even know if the album was going to be finished when we booked it. It isn't like we're releasing a single after the show or anything." And while blogs are rampant with speculation that the band will play "The Fixer," Curtis said the band was still kicking around "two or three songs, all of them new" to perform. Curtis also confirmed that the band would tour to support this latest album, and that internationally, the album would be released via Universal Music Group. "I make decisions around the band's business that are consistent with their overall philosophy," said Curtis, "which is to sell music in a way that's accessible and affordable to their fans, on every distribution platform that their fans access music, and in a way that takes care of the little guys. "Everyone's making assumptions because Target is a big corporation," said Curtis. "Its important to remember we just got out of this 18 year relationship with Sony, and I'm pretty sure they are a bigger corporation than Target. We have the freedom to pick our partners and more control when we've ever had before. We're excited to choose who we're in business with." Curtis says it was important to him and to the band to redefine the notion of an "exclusive" retail partnership. "I appreciate the efforts of bands like AC/DC and Radiohead," says the manager, alluding to two of the bands that have self-released albums recently. "But I wanted our plan to be multi-dimensional to address old and modern ways of fans accessing music. It will allow all of our fans to have the same access." "This is an ongoing experiment," said Curtis. "Every time we do something it's new for us, and were not trying to tackle the whole world at once. All we've been searching for forever is independence and control over our own stuff. The way of releasing records is changing every day. This is the best way we could do it ourselves in America. Right or wrong, we'll figure that out and make it better the next time." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmada Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 From Billboard.com:yep some kind of tie in with Target oh well, at least it sounds like Target didnt ask them to censor the lyrics and not sell through its fan club I kinda like the new song, but the sound on Conan was not greathttp://www.pearljam.com/news/got-some-performance-tonight-show vedder Friday at the tower-cant wait!

Analogman Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 From Billboard.com: Pearl Jam Announces U.S. Tour DatesPearl JamJuly 09, 2009 01:15 PM ETJessica Letkemann, N.Y. Pearl Jam will celebrate Halloween early with two concerts at Philadelphia's Wachovia Spectrum to be held Oct. 28 and 30. The shows are part of a brief North American tour which also includes stops in San Diego, Seattle and Los Angeles. Ben Harper and Relentless 7 will open all announced shows except for those in Philadelphia. The band will also head to Australia and New Zealand in November, with additional dates expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Philadelphia tickets go on sale to the general public on July 17th at 10 a.m. EDT. All other confirmed shows go on sale to the general public on July 18th at 10 a.m. PDT. The tour dates come in support of Pearl Jam's self-released ninth album, "Backspacer," which will be out Sept. 22. As previously reported, Target will be the exclusive big-box retailer in the United States, while Universal will handle distribution internationally. The new album's first single, the hard-charging rock track "The Fixer," will hit U.S. radio and digital retailers on July 20. During a June 1 appearance on "The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien," Pearl Jam premiered "Got Some," another new song from "Backspacer," and at recent solo shows, frontman Eddie Vedder has debuted three other tracks -- "Unthought Known," "The End" and "Speed of Sound" -- which are expected to appear on the album as well. On Aug. 8, Pearl Jam will play its first full live show in more than a year at the Virgin Festival in Calgary, Alberta. After a quick four-show run in Europe, the band then visits Toronto (Aug. 21) and Chicago (Aug. 23-24) before headlining the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco on Aug. 28. Also on tap is a headlining slot on Oct. 4 at the Austin City Limits festival in Austin, Texas. The day before, Pearl Jam will tape an episode of the long-running TV series "Austin City Limits." Here are Pearl Jam's new tour dates: Sept. 21: Seattle (Key Arena) Sept. 22: Seattle (Key Arena) Sept. 30: Los Angeles (Gibson Amp.) Oct. 1: Los Angeles (Gibson Amp.) Oct. 6: Los Angeles (Gibson Amp.) Oct. 7: Los Angeles (Gibson Amp.) Oct. 9: San Diego (Viejas Arena) Oct. 28: Philadelphia (Spectrum) Oct. 30: Philadelphia (Spectrum) From Jambands.com: Ben Harper and Relentless7 to Tour with Pearl Jam Ben Harper and Relentless7 will open for Pearl Jam this fall. Pearl Jam has recently confirmed nine shows in support of its new studio album Backspacer. In an unorthodox move, the album will be released on Sunday, September 20 through Target, Pearl Jam's own Ten Club and independent retailers, as well as online. Internationally, the album will be available beginning on September 21, 2009 via Universal/Island Records. Pearl Jam will then hit the road with Ben Harper and Relentless7 for a series of shows, beginning with a two-night run at Seattle’s Key Arena on September 21 and 22. The tour will then veer south for shows at Los Angeles’ Gibson Amphitheatre on September 30 and October 1 and 6-7 and San Diego’s Viejas Arena on October 9. Pearl Jam will then close this leg of its tour without Harper and Relentless7 at Philadelphia’s The Spectrum on October 28 and 30. Harper first met the members of Pearl Jam while touring Europe in the 1990s. He has remained close with the group both on and off the stage through his regular sit ins and shared love of skateboarding and surfing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangara Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I might do Philly or Seattle. Probably not both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mollyegan Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm really excited for this tour...I've seen them MANY times (I lost count after 20- I've been fortunate). They always put on a ridiculously good show. I'm hoping to make both nights in Seattle! Anyone else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimtweedy1977 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I saw the group waaaay back in 2000 on the Binaural tour in the Big Easy. Maybe I'll try to see something on this tour. I haven't seen a live show in over a year. The news mentioned tie-in with a video game company, I'm guessing we might see a new track on the next Guitar Hero. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i'd say maybe the full record will be on Rock Band they're also getting their own Rock Band add-on disc of all live tracks sometime next year as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mollyegan Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I need to vent. I'm gearing up for Monday's Ten Club pre-sale. A pair of tickets is $148. Perhaps in the year since I've been to a show (at all) costs have skyrocketed. Does this seem excessive? I have been a Ten Club member for over ten years now, I think? I have not been impressed with several things: a)the way that seniority has been handled over the years (poorly)b)that Ten Club members aren't given some sort of discount for tickets (Dave Matthews does!) because c) in years past my seats have been awful for some shows d)hey, guys- remember that one time you went before Congress? e)I'm SURE that despite their history, the $148 will have a penny or two attached for fees I think I'm just shocked at how expensive these shows are and I was planning on going both nights. I guess my days of going to every show within a 300 miles radius for a tour are over. I'm not quite ready to break up with them (although, I can't blame Heather over at fuelfriends I Am Fuel, You Are Friends), just frustrated. I feel better...of course I'm going to shell out the cash and go- like I always do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Man, I would go to Philly but I won't be around in October . I hope PJ makes a winter trip to the Northeast. NY, NJ, Mass, or CT would be nice. I have yet to see Pearl Jam live and I am ready and willing to shell out an insane amount of money to see a night 2 Pearl Jam stand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 From Billboard.com: Pearl Jam Debuts 'Fixer,' Reveals Track ListPearl Jam July 15, 2009 11:49 AM ETJessica Letkemann, N.Y.Pearl Jam's new single, "The Fixer," made an abbreviated debut last night (July 14) during Fox's broadcast of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The track officially goes to U.S. radio and digital retailers on Monday. As previously reported, Target will be the exclusive big-box retailer in the United States for Pearl Jam's self-released ninth album, "Backspacer," due Sept. 20. The clip for "The Fixer" was only a few seconds long, but it was long enough to discern catchy "yeah yeah yeah" shout-outs in its chorus and frontman Eddie Vedder imploring that when "something's gone, I want to fight to get it back again." Yesterday, Pearl Jam's official Web site, began taking pre-orders for CD and vinyl versions of "Backspacer" as well as a 7-inch single for "The Fixer" backed with "Supersonic." The order page confirms the 11-track contents of "Backspacer," which features three songs recently premiered during Vedder's U.S. solo tour: "Unthought Known," "Speed of Sound" and "The End." The band debuted "Got Some," another "Backspacer" track, on June 1 on "The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien." As previously reported, Pearl Jam will return to the road Aug. 8 in Calgary, Alberta, and has dates on tap through Oct. 30 in Philadelphia. Reportedly added to the itinerary is a rare small venue show on Aug. 11 at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. U.K. retailer HMV is currently advertising a ticket presale offer which fans can enter by preordering "Backspacer" via the HMV Web site. Here is the track list for "Backspacer": "Gonna See My Friend""Got Some""The Fixer""Johnny Guitar""Just Breathe""Amongst the Waves""Unthought Known""Supersonic""Speed of Sound""Force of Nature""The End" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
