With help from other board members, Cameron4President and I have been putting some time into compiling a series of MP3 collections that pull together 'Live' versions of a Pearl Jam studio album. The challenge has been to select some great live performances which capture the mood or sound of an era, whilst also working well together and flowing as a single 'album'. Cameron4President and I are very pleased with the albums we have put together so far; and we have been working on them here on the message board as a kind of 'long-distance' online collaborative project.
I think Cameron4President deserves some serious credit for leading on this - making the general idea a reality, putting in a lot of time, gathering together and selecting a lot of alternative live versions, creating artwork, uploading them, and hosting them on his bootlegs blog:
He has produced some great collections we can all listen to, share, discuss and enjoy.
Having just completed 'Ten Live: Then and Now', I thought it would be good to present you with the download links all in one place – for those who are interested in listening. This concept may not appeal to everyone, but we think it works well. No doubt there are better versions which would have worked great together and produced something different, so if you are interested in a making suggestions on future projects, feel free to participate – since we have been making the decisions together here online, based on the feedback posted on the board.
(Our first collaborative project – we tried to find strong performances which captured the raw energy of the recent tour, and include some cracking versions of some of the Backspacer songs which may not be so popular amongst Backspacer doubters. Have a listen and see what you think of this alternative version of the album. A different show for each song, some choice covers as bonus material to round things off. Dedicated to Dr Stip Zoidberg off of Red Mosquito!)
(A difficult project to work on, particularly due to the strength of the famous 'Fox' Atlanta broadcast. We took the Fox as the core of the project, and added performances from the Vs era which we thought sounded good, captured the times, and still work together as a listenable album. A barnstorming collection! Vs-era covers as bonus tracks.)
(Cameron4President's idea to put side by side performances from the Ten era, with those from the recent backspacer tour. It's interesting to hear how far we've come. Disc one is a 'Live Ten' from the Ten era, with Dave A on drums, Disc two is today's lineup, with Matt Cameron showing his qualities, and drawing from the 2009 / 2010 Backspacer shows. Two very different listening experiences...... Intense!!)
(Given that it was never going to be possible to recreate the studio album 'live' due to certain tracks never having played live, we followed Cameron4President's lead, and compiled a Vitalogy era collection known as 'The Theory of Vitalogy' which took some sounds, style and some atmosphere from the Self Pollution Radio broadcast (and those times). Kicking off with some swearing and an early 'Jack Irons' Chant – this collection takes the studio album tracklist as its backbone but messes it up a bit, draws heavily on live performances which showcase Jack Irons' memorable playing, and some key performances from the Self Pollution show. With a lot of input and help from other forum members, Myra joined the core team, and after much agonising about tracklist and songs, we have produced our favourite collection yet. A notable omission has been nothingman :( which partly bit the dust due to inferior sound quality in the performances from the selected era, and partly because we wanted to upset people! (joke!). Hope you enjoy!)
Warning: Features explicit content on several occasions.
(Keeping things short and snappy - just like the Who - This 14 song collection takes us on a tour of Who 'covers', sequenced in the order in which songs were written (Who said rock and roll can't be educational?). Another favourite of ours.... the sound quality is high, the performances are tight, the mood is good. This is a little different from some of the other PJ Who compilations floating around out there - we didn't want to duplicate those, and tried to come up with something a bit special, drawing on the help and suggestions from the message board. These versions feature no musicians other than the members of Pearl Jam. Another rocking slice of of music to download in time for Xmas!! Enjoy!)
Looking at the Binaural tour of 2000, we wanted to do something in honour of the victims and survivors of the Roskilde tragedy. It was a difficult project to work on, not always easy listening or easy decisions to take, but working on this compilation was probably the most fulfilling project to date. We had excellent input, choices and contributions from a wide range of board members, and a constructive and supportive atmosphere to work in.
We had chosen to draw as much as possible from the European shows in 2000 and the official Euro bootlegs, and for the most part we used a different show for each song. We rounded off the collection following the format which has worked for other projects, taking some of the memorable covers and improvs from that part of the tour. The only exception was Parting Ways, which was not played in Europe, which we took from the last show of the 2000 tour in Seattle.
We hope you enjoy this collection. It can be quite demanding to listen to in places, but we are pleased with the job we have done, and the way forum members contributed so much, and I think we all agree that whilst there were many other song selections which could have been made from this part of the tour, the collection we have ended up with contains some truly outstanding music, and a lot of emotion. With love and peace to Pearl Jam fans everywhere.
Yield is one of Pearl Jam's best loved albums, and we hope we have come up with a collection which will please Yield lovers, and keep the momentum going as we work through the studio albums 'live' with these projects. With Static Echoes: Yield Live, we had to depart from our formula of featuring performances mostly drawn from Soundboard sources. There are relatively few pure soundboard recordings from the 98 tour – and so instead we drew quite heavily on some of the excellent audience boots that are circulating, and those from a hybrid of mono soundboard feeds and audience recording. This gives a different feel and listening experience from the Soundboard projects, and a nice flavour of the 'good old days' of lapping up audience recorded tapes and unofficial bootlegs of the band.
We are very pleased with the results – with a grittier sound, and nice versions of key tracks which hopefully give a flavour of the era, the tour, and also show different sides to some of the songs on the album. Balancing and selecting the different audience sources next to each other was a challenge in itself, with a smaller pool to choose from after our last project, from the Binaural tour, where we were spoilt by having the official boots to choose from.
Yield live sounds great, and is often easy to forget you aren't listening to Soundboard recordings (The only Yield tracks that don't include audience sources are Brain of J and Faithfull)
The collection finishes with bonus tracks: - a sweet 'Improv', and Leatherman, and closes with Fuckin' Up – which featured prominently in the '98 tour.

you are in for an amazing musical treat these compilations are soooo good. happy that you found them
I think these projects are what differentiate us PJ "freaks" (ed's term) from the bootleg collecting dead heads...
Sure we ravenously collect bootlegs shows but with more emphasis on the specific songs and quality recordings..
Grateful for all your efforts!
What I have found particularly nice about these projects, is seeing all the diverse knowledge, perspectives and approaches different people bring to the table, and noting how Pearl Jam freakhood is quite a broad church, with lots of passionate people passionate about different parts of the band's huge output. For example, I will put my hand up and say I have always been a card carrying Ed words and singing person - I am most interested if the song moves me emotionally from the words and singing point of view, which a great overall band performance often does - but if Porch doesn't have a killer solo I won't lose sleep over it. Then there are others who are big on drumming, or how tight the whole band is....And you have people like yourself and Cameron4President who have an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the bootlegs - so if we think we need more Cowbell, you guys will probably be able to highlight a number of different versions. I have heard loads and loads of boots over the years, but I rarely remember them in terms of the specific shows - I will remember a killer version of black, or a particular show that had an amazing vibe that spoke to me - so I will keep hold of that show, but the number of shows I have enjoyed then ended up deleting from my hard drive doesn't bear thinking about!
I guess what I am trying to say is that doing these projects has taught me that we all love Pearl Jam for many different reasons, and there are so many strengths and sides to the band that you can get some surprising input from different people which still pushes all the right buttons after all these years, and means the music never gets boring. The other side of these projects though is that we learned pretty early on that we needed some kind of 'editorial' process, or else we would be going round and round forever and still maybe never produce a collection that is listenable as an overall piece. Hence the reason why we have settled on a kind of core team who take more responsibility for the final selections.
Is great fun though, working on them out in public like this - and the best thing is with this task - you get to hear a hell of a lot of Pearl Jam

Thank you so much for the kind words. We have really enjoyed doing these projects. It's been a lot of fun to discuss the songs, tours, and influences that have made up these projects.
"No Code" will definitely be a fun one to piece together. Thanks again...

For example, I will put my hand up and say I have always been a card carrying Ed words and singing person - I am most interested if the song moves me emotionally from the words and singing point of view, which a great overall band performance often does - but if Porch doesn't have a killer solo I won't lose sleep over it. Then there are others who are big on drumming, or how tight the whole band is....And you have people like yourself and Cameron4President who have an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the bootlegs - so if we think we need more Cowbell, you guys will probably be able to highlight a number of different versions. I have heard loads and loads of boots over the years, but I rarely remember them in terms of the specific shows - I will remember a killer version of black, or a particular show that had an amazing vibe that spoke to me - so I will keep hold of that show, but the number of shows I have enjoyed then ended up deleting from my hard drive doesn't bear thinking about!
I guess what I am trying to say is that doing these projects has taught me that we all love Pearl Jam for many different reasons, and there are so many strengths and sides to the band that you can get some surprising input from different people which still pushes all the right buttons after all these years, and means the music never gets boring. The other side of these projects though is that we learned pretty early on that we needed some kind of 'editorial' process, or else we would be going round and round forever and still maybe never produce a collection that is listenable as an overall piece. Hence the reason why we have settled on a kind of core team who take more responsibility for the final selections.
Is great fun though, working on them out in public like this - and the best thing is with this task - you get to hear a hell of a lot of Pearl Jam
Was listening to Mixed Metaphor on the train today - sounded damned good to me still!!
Spent the last three days on Theory ... Pretty addictive this one, or is it just me ?
I like it, but the ones I have gone back to most often are Mixed Metaphor, and Ten 'Now' - though I think that's probably because I love the recent sounds and shows a lot!

With help from other board members, Cameron4President and I have been putting some time into compiling a series of MP3 collections that pull together 'Live' versions of a Pearl Jam studio album. The challenge has been to select some great live performances which capture the mood or sound of an era, whilst also working well together and flowing as a single 'album'. Cameron4President and I are very pleased with the albums we have put together so far; and we have been working on them here on the message board as a kind of 'long-distance' online collaborative project.
I think Cameron4President deserves some serious credit for leading on this - making the general idea a reality, putting in a lot of time, gathering together and selecting a lot of alternative live versions, creating artwork, uploading them, and hosting them on his bootlegs blog:
He has produced some great collections we can all listen to, share, discuss and enjoy.
Having just completed 'Ten Live: Then and Now', I thought it would be good to present you with the download links all in one place – for those who are interested in listening. This concept may not appeal to everyone, but we think it works well. No doubt there are better versions which would have worked great together and produced something different, so if you are interested in a making suggestions on future projects, feel free to participate – since we have been making the decisions together here online, based on the feedback posted on the board.
(Our first collaborative project – we tried to find strong performances which captured the raw energy of the recent tour, and include some cracking versions of some of the Backspacer songs which may not be so popular amongst Backspacer doubters. Have a listen and see what you think of this alternative version of the album. A different show for each song, some choice covers as bonus material to round things off. Dedicated to Dr Stip Zoidberg off of Red Mosquito!)
(A difficult project to work on, particularly due to the strength of the famous 'Fox' Atlanta broadcast. We took the Fox as the core of the project, and added performances from the Vs era which we thought sounded good, captured the times, and still work together as a listenable album. A barnstorming collection! Vs-era covers as bonus tracks.)
(Cameron4President's idea to put side by side performances from the Ten era, with those from the recent backspacer tour. It's interesting to hear how far we've come. Disc one is a 'Live Ten' from the Ten era, with Dave A on drums, Disc two is today's lineup, with Matt Cameron showing his qualities, and drawing from the 2009 / 2010 Backspacer shows. Two very different listening experiences...... Intense!!)
(Given that it was never going to be possible to recreate the studio album 'live' due to certain tracks never having played live, we followed Cameron4President's lead, and compiled a Vitalogy era collection known as 'The Theory of Vitalogy' which took some sounds, style and some atmosphere from the Self Pollution Radio broadcast (and those times). Kicking off with some swearing and an early 'Jack Irons' Chant – this collection takes the studio album tracklist as its backbone but messes it up a bit, draws heavily on live performances which showcase Jack Irons' memorable playing, and some key performances from the Self Pollution show. With a lot of input and help from other forum members, Myra joined the core team, and after much agonising about tracklist and songs, we have produced our favourite collection yet. A notable omission has been nothingman :( which partly bit the dust due to inferior sound quality in the performances from the selected era, and partly because we wanted to upset people! (joke!). Hope you enjoy!)
Warning: Features explicit content on several occasions.
(Keeping things short and snappy - just like the Who - This 14 song collection takes us on a tour of Who 'covers', sequenced in the order in which songs were written (Who said rock and roll can't be educational?). Another favourite of ours.... the sound quality is high, the performances are tight, the mood is good. This is a little different from some of the other PJ Who compilations floating around out there - we didn't want to duplicate those, and tried to come up with something a bit special, drawing on the help and suggestions from the message board. These versions feature no musicians other than the members of Pearl Jam. Another rocking slice of of music to download in time for Xmas!! Enjoy!)
Looking at the Binaural tour of 2000, we wanted to do something in honour of the victims and survivors of the Roskilde tragedy. It was a difficult project to work on, not always easy listening or easy decisions to take, but working on this compilation was probably the most fulfilling project to date. We had excellent input, choices and contributions from a wide range of board members, and a constructive and supportive atmosphere to work in.
We had chosen to draw as much as possible from the European shows in 2000 and the official Euro bootlegs, and for the most part we used a different show for each song. We rounded off the collection following the format which has worked for other projects, taking some of the memorable covers and improvs from that part of the tour. The only exception was Parting Ways, which was not played in Europe, which we took from the last show of the 2000 tour in Seattle.
We hope you enjoy this collection. It can be quite demanding to listen to in places, but we are pleased with the job we have done, and the way forum members contributed so much, and I think we all agree that whilst there were many other song selections which could have been made from this part of the tour, the collection we have ended up with contains some truly outstanding music, and a lot of emotion. With love and peace to Pearl Jam fans everywhere.
Yield is one of Pearl Jam's best loved albums, and we hope we have come up with a collection which will please Yield lovers, and keep the momentum going as we work through the studio albums 'live' with these projects. With Static Echoes: Yield Live, we had to depart from our formula of featuring performances mostly drawn from Soundboard sources. There are relatively few pure soundboard recordings from the 98 tour – and so instead we drew quite heavily on some of the excellent audience boots that are circulating, and those from a hybrid of mono soundboard feeds and audience recording. This gives a different feel and listening experience from the Soundboard projects, and a nice flavour of the 'good old days' of lapping up audience recorded tapes and unofficial bootlegs of the band.
We are very pleased with the results – with a grittier sound, and nice versions of key tracks which hopefully give a flavour of the era, the tour, and also show different sides to some of the songs on the album. Balancing and selecting the different audience sources next to each other was a challenge in itself, with a smaller pool to choose from after our last project, from the Binaural tour, where we were spoilt by having the official boots to choose from.
Yield live sounds great, and is often easy to forget you aren't listening to Soundboard recordings (The only Yield tracks that don't include audience sources are Brain of J and Faithfull)
The collection finishes with bonus tracks: - a sweet 'Improv', and Leatherman, and closes with Fuckin' Up – which featured prominently in the '98 tour.

I think these projects are what differentiate us PJ "freaks" (ed's term) from the bootleg collecting dead heads...
Sure we ravenously collect bootlegs shows but with more emphasis on the specific songs and quality recordings..
Grateful for all your efforts!

I guess what I am trying to say is that doing these projects has taught me that we all love Pearl Jam for many different reasons, and there are so many strengths and sides to the band that you can get some surprising input from different people which still pushes all the right buttons after all these years, and means the music never gets boring.

that's about the nicest thing I have read about our connections on this board in a long time. Thanks for your kinds words and sharing.
Where i live and with the people I hang out with (all nice people though) they simply "don't get" the Pearl Jam thing we all have...
and it made me feel somewhat like the black sheep of my circle of friends. Its only when I communicate with this wonderful (and international!) group that I suddenly feel like I've found the rest of the herd!

I know the feeling! I am (almost) the only Pearl Jam fan I know - I met more people in passing in the UK during the 90s who turned out to be fans, but these days.... nix.
Is nice that we can come together online - cos the passion for Pearl Jam is a big one !

Hi!
With help from other board members, Cameron4President and I have been putting some time into compiling a series of MP3 collections that pull together 'Live' versions of a Pearl Jam studio album. The challenge has been to select some great live performances which capture the mood or sound of an era, whilst also working well together and flowing as a single 'album'. Cameron4President and I are very pleased with the albums we have put together so far; and we have been working on them here on the message board as a kind of 'long-distance' online collaborative project.
I think Cameron4President deserves some serious credit for leading on this - making the general idea a reality, putting in a lot of time, gathering together and selecting a lot of alternative live versions, creating artwork, uploading them, and hosting them on his bootlegs blog:

__________________________________________________________________________________________
Here are the links to the projects so far:
'Mixed Metaphor: Backspacer Live'
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... pacer.html
(Our first collaborative project – we tried to find strong performances which captured the raw energy of the recent tour, and include some cracking versions of some of the Backspacer songs which may not be so popular amongst Backspacer doubters. Have a listen and see what you think of this alternative version of the album. A different show for each song, some choice covers as bonus material to round things off. Dedicated to Dr Stip Zoidberg off of Red Mosquito!)
'Turpentine and Nepotism: Vs. live'
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... -live.html
(A difficult project to work on, particularly due to the strength of the famous 'Fox' Atlanta broadcast. We took the Fox as the core of the project, and added performances from the Vs era which we thought sounded good, captured the times, and still work together as a listenable album. A barnstorming collection! Vs-era covers as bonus tracks.)
'Ten Live: Then and Now'
Disc 1 ('Then')
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... isc-1.html
Disc 2 ('Now')
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... isc-2.html
(Cameron4President's idea to put side by side performances from the Ten era, with those from the recent backspacer tour. It's interesting to hear how far we've come. Disc one is a 'Live Ten' from the Ten era, with Dave A on drums, Disc two is today's lineup, with Matt Cameron showing his qualities, and drawing from the 2009 / 2010 Backspacer shows. Two very different listening experiences...... Intense!!)
'The Theory of Vitalogy'
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... alogy.html
(Given that it was never going to be possible to recreate the studio album 'live' due to certain tracks never having played live, we followed Cameron4President's lead, and compiled a Vitalogy era collection known as 'The Theory of Vitalogy' which took some sounds, style and some atmosphere from the Self Pollution Radio broadcast (and those times). Kicking off with some swearing and an early 'Jack Irons' Chant – this collection takes the studio album tracklist as its backbone but messes it up a bit, draws heavily on live performances which showcase Jack Irons' memorable playing, and some key performances from the Self Pollution show. With a lot of input and help from other forum members, Myra joined the core team, and after much agonising about tracklist and songs, we have produced our favourite collection yet. A notable omission has been nothingman :( which partly bit the dust due to inferior sound quality in the performances from the selected era, and partly because we wanted to upset people! (joke!). Hope you enjoy!)
Warning: Features explicit content on several occasions.
The Kids Are Alright: The Songs of The Who
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... f-who.html
(Keeping things short and snappy - just like the Who - This 14 song collection takes us on a tour of Who 'covers', sequenced in the order in which songs were written (Who said rock and roll can't be educational?). Another favourite of ours.... the sound quality is high, the performances are tight, the mood is good. This is a little different from some of the other PJ Who compilations floating around out there - we didn't want to duplicate those, and tried to come up with something a bit special, drawing on the help and suggestions from the message board. These versions feature no musicians other than the members of Pearl Jam. Another rocking slice of of music to download in time for Xmas!! Enjoy!)
Light Becomes Stars: Binaural Live
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... aural.html
Looking at the Binaural tour of 2000, we wanted to do something in honour of the victims and survivors of the Roskilde tragedy. It was a difficult project to work on, not always easy listening or easy decisions to take, but working on this compilation was probably the most fulfilling project to date. We had excellent input, choices and contributions from a wide range of board members, and a constructive and supportive atmosphere to work in.
We had chosen to draw as much as possible from the European shows in 2000 and the official Euro bootlegs, and for the most part we used a different show for each song. We rounded off the collection following the format which has worked for other projects, taking some of the memorable covers and improvs from that part of the tour. The only exception was Parting Ways, which was not played in Europe, which we took from the last show of the 2000 tour in Seattle.
We hope you enjoy this collection. It can be quite demanding to listen to in places, but we are pleased with the job we have done, and the way forum members contributed so much, and I think we all agree that whilst there were many other song selections which could have been made from this part of the tour, the collection we have ended up with contains some truly outstanding music, and a lot of emotion. With love and peace to Pearl Jam fans everywhere.

Static Echoes: Yield Live
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... -live.html
Yield is one of Pearl Jam's best loved albums, and we hope we have come up with a collection which will please Yield lovers, and keep the momentum going as we work through the studio albums 'live' with these projects. With Static Echoes: Yield Live, we had to depart from our formula of featuring performances mostly drawn from Soundboard sources. There are relatively few pure soundboard recordings from the 98 tour – and so instead we drew quite heavily on some of the excellent audience boots that are circulating, and those from a hybrid of mono soundboard feeds and audience recording. This gives a different feel and listening experience from the Soundboard projects, and a nice flavour of the 'good old days' of lapping up audience recorded tapes and unofficial bootlegs of the band.
We are very pleased with the results – with a grittier sound, and nice versions of key tracks which hopefully give a flavour of the era, the tour, and also show different sides to some of the songs on the album. Balancing and selecting the different audience sources next to each other was a challenge in itself, with a smaller pool to choose from after our last project, from the Binaural tour, where we were spoilt by having the official boots to choose from.
Yield live sounds great, and is often easy to forget you aren't listening to Soundboard recordings (The only Yield tracks that don't include audience sources are Brain of J and Faithfull)
The collection finishes with bonus tracks: - a sweet 'Improv', and Leatherman, and closes with Fuckin' Up – which featured prominently in the '98 tour.
Hope you Enjoy!

Grateful for all your efforts!
EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
you are in for an amazing musical treat
can't wait for the next project
What I have found particularly nice about these projects, is seeing all the diverse knowledge, perspectives and approaches different people bring to the table, and noting how Pearl Jam freakhood is quite a broad church, with lots of passionate people passionate about different parts of the band's huge output. For example, I will put my hand up and say I have always been a card carrying Ed words and singing person - I am most interested if the song moves me emotionally from the words and singing point of view, which a great overall band performance often does - but if Porch doesn't have a killer solo I won't lose sleep over it. Then there are others who are big on drumming, or how tight the whole band is....And you have people like yourself and Cameron4President who have an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the bootlegs - so if we think we need more Cowbell, you guys will probably be able to highlight a number of different versions. I have heard loads and loads of boots over the years, but I rarely remember them in terms of the specific shows - I will remember a killer version of black, or a particular show that had an amazing vibe that spoke to me - so I will keep hold of that show, but the number of shows I have enjoyed then ended up deleting from my hard drive doesn't bear thinking about!
I guess what I am trying to say is that doing these projects has taught me that we all love Pearl Jam for many different reasons, and there are so many strengths and sides to the band that you can get some surprising input from different people which still pushes all the right buttons after all these years, and means the music never gets boring. The other side of these projects though is that we learned pretty early on that we needed some kind of 'editorial' process, or else we would be going round and round forever and still maybe never produce a collection that is listenable as an overall piece. Hence the reason why we have settled on a kind of core team who take more responsibility for the final selections.
Is great fun though, working on them out in public like this - and the best thing is with this task - you get to hear a hell of a lot of Pearl Jam

Hi!
With help from other board members, Cameron4President and I have been putting some time into compiling a series of MP3 collections that pull together 'Live' versions of a Pearl Jam studio album. The challenge has been to select some great live performances which capture the mood or sound of an era, whilst also working well together and flowing as a single 'album'. Cameron4President and I are very pleased with the albums we have put together so far; and we have been working on them here on the message board as a kind of 'long-distance' online collaborative project.
I think Cameron4President deserves some serious credit for leading on this - making the general idea a reality, putting in a lot of time, gathering together and selecting a lot of alternative live versions, creating artwork, uploading them, and hosting them on his bootlegs blog:
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com
He has produced some great collections we can all listen to, share, discuss and enjoy.
Having just completed 'Ten Live: Then and Now', I thought it would be good to present you with the download links all in one place – for those who are interested in listening. This concept may not appeal to everyone, but we think it works well. No doubt there are better versions which would have worked great together and produced something different, so if you are interested in a making suggestions on future projects, feel free to participate – since we have been making the decisions together here online, based on the feedback posted on the board.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Here are the links to the projects so far:
'Mixed Metaphor: Backspacer Live'
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... pacer.html
(Our first collaborative project – we tried to find strong performances which captured the raw energy of the recent tour, and include some cracking versions of some of the Backspacer songs which may not be so popular amongst Backspacer doubters. Have a listen and see what you think of this alternative version of the album. A different show for each song, some choice covers as bonus material to round things off. Dedicated to Dr Stip Zoidberg off of Red Mosquito!)
'Turpentine and Nepotism: Vs. live'
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... -live.html
(A difficult project to work on, particularly due to the strength of the famous 'Fox' Atlanta broadcast. We took the Fox as the core of the project, and added performances from the Vs era which we thought sounded good, captured the times, and still work together as a listenable album.

I like it, but the ones I have gone back to most often are Mixed Metaphor, and Ten 'Now' - though I think that's probably because I love the recent sounds and shows a lot!

Where i live and with the people I hang out with (all nice people though) they simply "don't get" the Pearl Jam thing we all have...
and it made me feel somewhat like the black sheep of my circle of friends. Its only when I communicate with this wonderful (and international!) group that I suddenly feel like I've found the rest of the herd!

I know the feeling! I am (almost) the only Pearl Jam fan I know - I met more people in passing in the UK during the 90s who turned out to be fans, but these days.... nix.
Is nice that we can come together online - cos the passion for Pearl Jam is a big one !

No doubt there are better versions which would have worked great together and produced something different, so if you are interested in a making suggestions on future projects, feel free to participate – since we have been making the decisions together here online, based on the feedback posted on the board.

Here are the links to the projects so far:
'Mixed Metaphor: Backspacer Live'
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... pacer.html
(Our first collaborative project – we tried to find strong performances which captured the raw energy of the recent tour, and include some cracking versions of some of the Backspacer songs which may not be so popular amongst Backspacer doubters. Have a listen and see what you think of this alternative version of the album. A different show for each song, some choice covers as bonus material to round things off. Dedicated to Dr Stip Zoidberg off of Red Mosquito!)
'Turpentine and Nepotism: Vs. live'
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... -live.html
(A difficult project to work on, particularly due to the strength of the famous 'Fox' Atlanta broadcast. We took the Fox as the core of the project, and added performances from the Vs era which we thought sounded good, captured the times, and still work together as a listenable album. A barnstorming collection! Vs-era covers as bonus tracks.)
'Ten Live: Then and Now'
Disc 1 ('Then')
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... isc-1.html
Disc 2 ('Now')
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... isc-2.html
(Cameron4President's idea to put side by side performances from the Ten era, with those from the recent backspacer tour. It's interesting to hear how far we've come. Disc one is a 'Live Ten' from the Ten era, with Dave A on drums, Disc two is today's lineup, with Matt Cameron showing his qualities, and drawing from the 2009 / 2010 Backspacer shows. Two very different listening experiences...... Intense!!)
'The Theory of Vitalogy'
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... alogy.html
(Given that it was never going to be possible to recreate the studio album 'live' due to certain tracks never having played live, we followed Cameron4President's lead, and compiled a Vitalogy era collection known as 'The Theory of Vitalogy' which took some sounds, style and some atmosphere from the Self Pollution Radio broadcast (and those times). Kicking off with some swearing and an early 'Jack Irons' Chant – this collection takes the studio album tracklist as its backbone but messes it up a bit, draws heavily on live performances which showcase Jack Irons' memorable playing, and some key performances from the Self Pollution show. With a lot of input and help from other forum members, Myra joined the core team, and after much agonising about tracklist and songs, we have produced our favourite collection yet. A notable omission has been nothingman :( which partly bit the dust due to inferior sound quality in the performances from the selected era, and partly because we wanted to upset people! (joke!). Hope you enjoy!)
Warning: Features explicit content on several occasions.
The Kids Are Alright: The Songs of The Who
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... f-who.html
(Keeping things short and snappy - just like the Who - This 14 song collection takes us on a tour of Who 'covers', sequenced in the order in which songs were written (Who said rock and roll can't be educational?). Another favourite of ours.... the sound quality is high, the performances are tight, the mood is good. This is a little different from some of the other PJ Who compilations floating around out there - we didn't want to duplicate those, and tried to come up with something a bit special, drawing on the help and suggestions from the message board. These versions feature no musicians other than the members of Pearl Jam. Another rocking slice of of music to download in time for Xmas!! Enjoy!)
Light Becomes Stars: Binaural Live
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... aural.html
Looking at the Binaural tour of 2000, we wanted to do something in honour of the victims and survivors of the Roskilde tragedy. It was a difficult project to work on, not always easy listening or easy decisions to take, but working on this compilation was probably the most fulfilling project to date. We had excellent input, choices and contributions from a wide range of board members, and a constructive and supportive atmosphere to work in.
We had chosen to draw as much as possible from the European shows in 2000 and the official Euro bootlegs, and for the most part we used a different show for each song. We rounded off the collection following the format which has worked for other projects, taking some of the memorable covers and improvs from that part of the tour. The only exception was Parting Ways, which was not played in Europe, which we took from the last show of the 2000 tour in Seattle.
We hope you enjoy this collection. It can be quite demanding to listen to in places, but we are pleased with the job we have done, and the way forum members contributed so much, and I think we all agree that whilst there were many other song selections which could have been made from this part of the tour, the collection we have ended up with contains some truly outstanding music, and a lot of emotion. With love and peace to Pearl Jam fans everywhere.

Static Echoes: Yield Live
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... -live.html
Yield is one of Pearl Jam's best loved albums, and we hope we have come up with a collection which will please Yield lovers, and keep the momentum going as we work through the studio albums 'live' with these projects. With Static Echoes: Yield Live, we had to depart from our formula of featuring performances mostly drawn from Soundboard sources. There are relatively few pure soundboard recordings from the 98 tour – and so instead we drew quite heavily on some of the excellent audience boots that are circulating, and those from a hybrid of mono soundboard feeds and audience recording. This gives a different feel and listening experience from the Soundboard projects, and a nice flavour of the 'good old days' of lapping up audience recorded tapes and unofficial bootlegs of the band.
We are very pleased with the results – with a grittier sound, and nice versions of key tracks which hopefully give a flavour of the era, the tour, and also show different sides to some of the songs on the album. Balancing and selecting the different audience sources next to each other was a challenge in itself, with a smaller pool to choose from after our last project, from the Binaural tour, where we were spoilt by having the official boots to choose from.
Yield live sounds great, and is often easy to forget you aren't listening to Soundboard recordings (The only Yield tracks that don't include audience sources are Brain of J and Faithfull)
The collection finishes with bonus tracks: - a sweet 'Improv', and Leatherman, and closes with Fuckin' Up – which featured prominently in the '98 tour.
Hope you Enjoy!
