I just did a search for new news and couldn't find any. Are we going to get a free concert download?

    it would be shocking ..
  • I'm wondering the same, can't find a straight answer in the Community forum. The funny thing is, the first time I popped my 10C copy of Backspacer in the computer, accessed the bonus material and clicked on "Concert Downloads" it took me to a screen where I could choose from the available free shows. I decided to wait, research the shows first, and then return to choose the 2 that I thought were best. Now when I pop in the CD, access the bonus material and click on "Concert Downloads", I'm taken to PJ's website to purchase bootlegs from 2008?! What gives??

    this is just a guess, but i am holding out hope that after the philly shows they will announce that we can download 2 shows from this tour. again this is just a guess.

  • This is whack. I paid over $19 for my cd from the 10C and I can't download the shows like they said I could? Why would they make us wait? They're just going to forget about it and hope we all will too. Fix the glitch and let us get our shows. I waited to get mine and yesterday I got a serious craving for some new shows to listen to so I decided to go ahead and downloan them. But I can't and now I'm stuck with listening to Ed forget the words to Immortality from London 2000.

    this has been discussed at length

    no downloads for 10c version
    and while I was miffed at first, the downloads offered with target and itunes are
    1)incomplete shows-songs have been cut and
    2) readily available in complete format elsewhere (except the 08 which you should buy here anyway)

    so really its no big deal

    although I wish 10c members did get something special with their orders
  • So where might I be able to find some recent (08 - 09) show downloads other than the pj website?

    I cannot advocate downloading shows that are still available for purchase as that violates 10c policy
    but if you look around, you just might find them

    whats a pirate's favorite letter?

    Arrrrrrrrrrrrr.


    there is a clue in there somewhere

    the "early" 09 bootlegs weren't rolled out until after backspacer was released which makes sense because backspacer songs were performed at those shows. it's all in the timing.

    so, logic says that after this little leg of the tour is done, that the 10C will most likely offer any 2 or maybe just 1 or maybe more than 2 of this tour to download...in full. once again, all in the timing.

    ever hear the saying "good things come to those who wait?"

    also, how is it you paid $19???? and if you're a fan you'll buy a bootleg or two or three anyway, so quit your complaining.

    and let's pretend that 10C said right now "ok go download 2 shows". you'd still be bitching because "you don't know whether you should do it now or wait until after the tour is done". WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    No man, I complain when they do not give me what they advertised and what I paid for. So I'm only a fan if I buy 2 or 3 bootlegs? Really, that is your definition of a fan? I happen to have spent tons and tons of cash on this band, seeing them live over 15 times and buying all of the stuff they release. And no, if they said go ahead and download 2 shows I would go ahead and do it, like I said I was trying to do the other night. If they allow us to get them after this tour than I'm cool with that, I just don't know if that's what is going to happen, it it is then great. Don't assume I'd bitch because I can't choose which one to get, I bitch because I'm not allowed to get one at all after I paid for it. It's ok if I get banned for this, but you're a doucebag. Your response is full of assumptions. You're complaint-policing and telling people what you have to do to be a fan.
