I know this is not metal news, but I think is a great idea, can you imagine if Maiden do that too?!!
All Bootlegs Will Be Limited Edition and Available Within a Week
of Each Show Date
Free Downloads Will Be Available the Night of Each Show
SEATTLE, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Pearl Jam announced today that they will
release an official bootleg of each show on their 2003 Riot Act world tour
(tour dates attached). Each bootleg will be a limited edition, double disc CD
set. Unlike the 2000 bootleg series, the 2003 bootlegs will not be available
in stores. Currently, the band plans to make them available only at the
following URL addresses:
-- [a href=\'http://www.pearljam.com\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.pearljam.com[/a]
-- [a href=\'http://www.tenclub.net\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.tenclub.net[/a]
-- [a href=\'http://www.pearljambootlegs.com\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.pearljambootlegs.com[/a]
Bootlegs will be sold for $12.98 to Ten Club Members and for $14.98 to non
Ten Club members.
Those who order an official bootleg prior to the show-date can expect it
to be shipped within 2-3 days. Rush shipment options will be available.
Additionally, anyone who orders an official bootleg will be able to
download at no additional cost an mp3 of that show within hours of the show's
real-time completion. \"We wanted to provide fans with a souvenir of the show
they experienced immediately following the show -- this comes pretty close,\"
says Tim Bierman, Pearl Jam's 10-club manager.
Bootlegs can be pre-ordered now for Pearl Jam's Australian and Asian
tours, which kick off in Brisbane on February 8 and in Sendai on March 1,
respectively.
Pearl Jam originally conceived of the bootleg series as an effort to
\"bootleg the bootleggers\" by making available for sale less expensive,
higher quality recordings of all of their live shows.
