I had been thinking about it for months ... last night I just went, fuck it.
I can't wait to watch the DVD of the MTV show, my VHS tape of that is worn thin from years of viewing. I really hope they do this sort of stuff for all the releases ... just wish other bands would be this organised ... SP looking in your direction.

My favourite band of all time, always have been and always will be.
It was 1994, I was in grade 6. On my eleventh birthday I recieved an NBA video (I was into collecting basketball cards at the time) that married music from popular artists with some of the best players at that time. Shawn Kemp from the Seattle Supersonics was interviewed by the host and he was talking about Pearl Jam and the whole seattle sound. The video montage they played was "GO" by pearl jam mixed in with a whole lot of footage of Shawn Kemp. It was cool. The song "GO" really struck me in a way music had never done before. At the time all I had music wise was my "Ugly Kid Joe," "Bryan Adams," "Guns N Roses" and "4 Non Blondes" tapes. At the time I was in a cassette / cd club. When the catalouge came that december, "VS" was listed. Knowing what a great song "GO" was I ordered it. January of 1995 was the year that my life changed. "VS" was amazing. Such a great statement. It was the first time I heard music on an emotional level. At the time, I was not exactly "Joe Popular" so the sounds on that Pearl Jam record really gave me this new lease on life.
Ever since then, it's been the longest relationship I've ever maintained. Of course every thing that was great about that period in music I discovered after buying Pearl Jam. Glad to say these were discoveries made completely internet free. Those were the days.
I'm keen to purchase the above item.

SP looking in your direction. i was more keen when it was first announced as wasnt planning a trip. with postage, 281 is a fair bit And i completely agree about the pumpkins! Dont look for 'new' things as people dont want physical releases, you just have to make the physical releases something people want to buy! PJ, NIN, and now Placebo have awesome expensive boxsets that fans WANT to buy! I might get it for my B'day while i'm overseas. it is frikken hot!

www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/exclusive-pearl-jam-confirms-target-tie-1003978374.storyInteresting, funny to see how the "media" react to this. When SP announced the special releases through Target, Best buy etc ... they were called "Sell outs" etc ... now PJ, from what I can see, are being refered to as the smart business guys making the best out of the new market. Anyway, here is the article: Exclusive: Pearl Jam Confirms Target Tie-Up Pearl Jam June 01, 2009 03:29 PM ET Bill 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."

I didn't expect to love this album so much ... but fuck its awesome. Its the punk/70's/rock they've hinted at for years with songs like U, Do the Evolution, Leatherman, Mankind etc ... I don't know if its the sunny weather, beach days ... but this could be my 'summer' album. So excited about the tour too.

Steve I was the same, I had those fears. Approach it as not being a Pearl Jam release. It isn't like the others, it isn't epic, it isn't deep, it isn't emotional ... its just mostly fun. As Scott said, the slower Vedder songs aren't as strong they feel like his solo stuff but left overs.
Amongst the Waves hasn't really struck me yet, Supersonic is where it is for me.
