    Does this mean if we only buy the 10C version we can't download the shows? Being a poor graduate student, I probably can't justify another album purchase just to get the downloads...although I probably will, anyways...

    i hear ya...i'm in the same grad school boat. but it's only $10. i can eat peanut butter & ramen noodles for a week. ;)
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I was wondering this also, being an international customer, which version can I buy to get access to the "virtual vault" :?:

    interesting

    that's awesome. I don't have anything I consider high-quality from the 1996 tour so I'm hoping for something from that.

    I was wondering the same thing. The Target version seems packed full of goodies and I don't know if I should preorder through 10C just for special packaging. I would imagine they throw in some extras for us though

    yea, i agree! there is so much good stuff there I'm not sure what to comment about....hmmmm....how bout, i wonder if the fanclub purchased cd will lead to any sort of "vault!"

    That's the only sort-of negative I read in this awesome article. If we buy through the fan club, are we screwed on the virtual vault?

    well there had to be a target exclusive...maybe the fan club disc will have access to all 11 shows since the target disc isn't geared toward us

    "On the softer side, "Just Breathe" is a gorgeous ballad based on an instrumental from Vedder's "Into the Wild" soundtrack"


    I wonder what instrumental from ITW they are talking about? I really hope it is Tuolumne, I just love that short instrumental!

    What awesome info we just got in this story!

    I wonder, will the virtual vault be available to international customers? I presume Target has a website?

    so do you have to buy it at Target to get the vault downloads - what about the buying from the Ten Club?

    I think many of us just need to calm the fuck down about the Vault thing. There should be some trust credits built up right about now. (Not saying that everyone is all worked up, but I just feel it tensing up a bit, it's going to be okay, and even though it's not a promise I can really make, I'm going to. It's going to be okay, I promise.)

    "The group remains a huge touring draw and A-list festival headliner, having grossed nearly $42 million from 51 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore from 2006 to 2008."


    I am really curious as to how the apologists who defend the high ticket prices will respond to that glaring statistic.

    A bunch of cool news in there. I can't wait for the vault.

    All of the people who bashed the band on here when news of the Target deal broke are eating crow now. Goes to show you that you shouldn't jump to conclusions until you have ALL OF THE FACTS!!!

    Releasing the album simply through Pearl Jam's Ten Club fan organization was out of the question, according to Curtis and Anthony, simply because of logistics. Target ultimately got the nod because, Anthony says, "in our discussions with the big-box retailers, they were really the only one that understood the band's philosophy and the need to take care of the Ten Club and the indies and hit other distribution platforms."

    Curtis concurs. "I got a call from someone at Best Buy after the Target deal was announced, saying, 'Why did we not get this?' " he says. "And it was because they would not even entertain the thought of taking care of these other platforms."

    The Target discs will link to a virtual "vault" of 11 concerts spanning Pearl Jam's career, from which fans can choose two. The band will also create an organic cotton T-shirt to be sold at Target, with proceeds earmarked for the hunger relief charity Feeding America.

    This just keeps getting better!!! I'm thrilled!!! Beyond Excited!! :mrgreen:

    seems like it is going to be a busy couple of months with information coming out.

    http://kotaku.com/5327483/pearl-jams-ba ... nd-release

    and this is what it says.

    Harmonix continues to jam as much Pearl Jam into Rock Band as they possibly can, with the band's 9th studio album, Backspacer, available for download on the day it's released.

    Pearl Jam is releasing their 9th album without any major record label assistance on September 20th, but they've got a pretty strong support system in place, which includes Harmonix, MTV Games, and Target. The entire album will be available on Rock Band on the same day the album hits store shelves, with Target offering a special edition that comes with codes to download the tracks for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

    Those tracks include "The Fixer", a song that I'd be hard-pressed to place with a band had I not already known it was Pearl Jam. Nice to see the band changing things up, though I still firmly believe that lead singer Vedder has the craziest eyes in entertainment history.

    I don't think anybody said Pearl Jam was poor. Ticket prices are high because that's the going rate in this day and age.

    That said, grossing $42 million and netting $42 million are two different things. I'd be interested to see how much they actually MADE touring. Obviously, it's considerably less than $42 million.

    You act like people are freaking out about the vault thing. We're just asking the question. Calmly. Rationally. Inquisitively. Nobody (that I can see) is freaking out.

    Speaking of calming the fuck down ...

    Exactly. And everything is divided 5 ways after that (I doubt Boom gets an equal split of touring income).
