The Whispers of War: Riot Act Live was another great project to work on – helped by some excellent contributions from the Message Pit, and the luxury of having A LOT of official bootlegs to draw on from the 2003 tour. We are all very pleased with the results – with a really strong collection of Riot Act tracks and a unique ending of 6(!) bonus tracks all with a strong message, which hopefully succeeds in meeting one of our wider aims for these projects – capturing the spirit of a tour. The bonus tracks are a powerful set of numbers with a lot of strong feeling coming from Eddie and the band.
Highlights of the Riot Act section for us include You Are, Help Help, Thumbing My Way (the only 'electric' version of the tour), All Or None, and Ghost, with a large number of songs really benefiting from the live treatment. Selecting the final version of I am Mine caused some headaches..... with Myra attempting to listen to 27 versions straight at one point!! . We found that it was going to be hard to match the majesty of the studio version with I am Mine live, but we think we have chosen one of the strongest versions, to keep the mood of the album rolling along well. This collection is another favourite of ours!
Overall a project which we have greatly enjoyed working on and listening to, and one we hope you will enjoy listening to as well!
With help from other board members, Cameron4President, myra, electricxlovex 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'. We 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.

Been listening to the Binaural one (Light Becomes Stars) and this Riot Act one alot (Whispers of War), and those two albums are probably the two that I listen to the least, but these live compilations really bring some of the songs to life.
The bonus tracks at the end of this Riot Act project add alot of intensity to the piece.

For this 'Avocado' Live project we had some great contributions from the board, and in particular Dazzler and stateoflove79 worked really hard on the song selection and discussions about how to make this album the best it could be. The result is a first rate sounding collection, drawing on the official tour bootlegs of 2006. The music is very high energy, passionate and loud, and seems to bring the best out of the studio album by showcasing it in the live setting. There are a lot of highlights to be found here! The album is rounded off by some equally passionate bonus tracks from the tour. A lengthy discussion about the relative merits of different performances of 'Gone' led us to settle in the end on Brisbane, which we thought worked really well amongst the rest of the tracks. Working on these projects is always an eye opener to the sheer quality of Pearl Jam as a live outfit, and the incredibly different versions of Gone we got to hear was a real reminder of how so many songs get a unique live performance every time they are played – with tremendous variations in the mood and effect of the song. Everyone working on 'Break the Sky' agreed that this is another of our best sounding collections, and another which we think rivals the studio album. We hope you enjoy it!

The music is very high energy, passionate and loud, and seems to bring the best out of the studio album by showcasing it in the live setting. There are a lot of highlights to be found here! The album is rounded off by some equally passionate bonus tracks from the tour. A lengthy discussion about the relative merits of different performances of 'Gone' led us to settle in the end on Brisbane, which we thought worked really well amongst the rest of the tracks. Working on these projects is always an eye opener to the sheer quality of Pearl Jam as a live outfit, and the incredibly different versions of Gone we got to hear was a real reminder of how so many songs get a unique live performance every time they are played – with tremendous variations in the mood and effect of the song. Everyone working on 'Break the Sky' agreed that this is another of our best sounding collections, and another which we think rivals the studio album. We hope you enjoy it!

With help from other board members, Cameron4President, myra, electricxlovex 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'. We 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.
The Whispers of War: Riot Act Live was another great project to work on – helped by some excellent contributions from the Message Pit, and the luxury of having A LOT of official bootlegs to draw on from the 2003 tour. We are all very pleased with the results – with a really strong collection of Riot Act tracks and a unique ending of 6(!) bonus tracks all with a strong message, which hopefully succeeds in meeting one of our wider aims for these projects – capturing the spirit of a tour. The bonus tracks are a powerful set of numbers with a lot of strong feeling coming from Eddie and the band.
Highlights of the Riot Act section for us include You Are, Help Help, Thumbing My Way (the only 'electric' version of the tour), All Or None, and Ghost, with a large number of songs really benefiting from the live treatment. Selecting the final version of I am Mine caused some headaches..... with Myra attempting to listen to 27 versions straight at one point!! . We found that it was going to be hard to match the majesty of the studio version with I am Mine live, but we think we have chosen one of the strongest versions, to keep the mood of the album rolling along well. This collection is another favourite of ours!
Overall a project which we have greatly enjoyed working on and listening to, and one we hope you will enjoy listening to as well!
For this 'Avocado' Live project we had some great contributions from the board, and in particular Dazzler and stateoflove79 worked really hard on the song selection and discussions about how to make this album the best it could be.

It's often a Habit of mine to Sometimes give clues as to what we are going to do next. I'm Open to the idea of giving a few clues, but Mankind will have to either figure it out or wait until Saturday April 16th. Don't worry though, because that date is just Around the Bend. I am sure that when people figure out what Project #10 is, they will Smile. Anyway, right now we are all in the Present Tense, and I am really having a hard time thinking of any clues. So Hail, Hail the lucky ones that figure it out, you know Who You Are!! :twisted:

Hi!
With help from other board members, Cameron4President, myra, electricxlovex 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.

We 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.

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!)

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!

The Whispers of War: Riot Act Live
http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... -live.html
The Whispers of War: Riot Act Live was another great project to work on – helped by some excellent contributions from the Message Pit, and the luxury of having A LOT of official bootlegs to draw on from the 2003 tour. We are all very pleased with the results – with a really strong collection of Riot Act tracks and a unique ending of 6(!) bonus tracks all with a strong message, which hopefully succeeds in meeting one of our wider aims for these projects – capturing the spirit of a tour. The bonus tracks are a powerful set of numbers with a lot of strong feeling coming from Eddie and the band.
Highlights of the Riot Act section for us include You Are, Help Help, Thumbing My Way (the only 'electric' version of the tour), All Or None, and Ghost, with a large number of songs really benefiting from the live treatment. Selecting the final version of I am Mine caused some headaches..... with Myra attempting to listen to 27 versions straight at one point!!
Overall a project which we have greatly enjoyed working on and listening to, and one we hope you will enjoy listening to as well!

Been listening to the Binaural one (Light Becomes Stars) and this Riot Act one alot (Whispers of War), and those two albums are probably the two that I listen to the least, but these live compilations really bring some of the songs to life.
The bonus tracks at the end of this Riot Act project add alot of intensity to the piece.
Excellent result!
Glad you like them - thanks a lot. And thanks a lot for your contributions to the latest one...

Hi!
With help from other board members, Cameron4President, myra, electricxlovex 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'. We 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. 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.

For this 'Avocado' Live project we had some great contributions from the board, and in particular Dazzler and stateoflove79 worked really hard on the song selection and discussions about how to make this album the best it could be. The result is a first rate sounding collection, drawing on the official tour bootlegs of 2006. The music is very high energy, passionate and loud, and seems to bring the best out of the studio album by showcasing it in the live setting. There are a lot of highlights to be found here! The album is rounded off by some equally passionate bonus tracks from the tour. A lengthy discussion about the relative merits of different performances of 'Gone' led us to settle in the end on Brisbane, which we thought worked really well amongst the rest of the tracks. Working on these projects is always an eye opener to the sheer quality of Pearl Jam as a live outfit, and the incredibly different versions of Gone we got to hear was a real reminder of how so many songs get a unique live performance every time they are played – with tremendous variations in the mood and effect of the song. Everyone working on 'Break the Sky' agreed that this is another of our best sounding collections, and another which we think rivals the studio album. We hope you enjoy it!

It;s the one I've been waiting for. In my opinion in the top tier of Pearl Jam albums with Ten and Vs.
:think: :think: :think:
May I get another hint ?
Well...
It's often a Habit of mine to Sometimes give clues as to what we are going to do next. I'm Open to the idea of giving a few clues, but Mankind will have to either figure it out or wait until Saturday April 16th. Don't worry though, because that date is just Around the Bend. I am sure that when people figure out what Project #10 is, they will Smile. Anyway, right now we are all in the Present Tense, and I am really having a hard time thinking of any clues. So Hail, Hail the lucky ones that figure it out, you know Who You Are!! :twisted:

I'm not sure we can keep bumping the thread at the same pace for another two weeks :?
Yeah this pace would be a little difficult, I reckon.

I hear this project has been delayed due to some sort of insect problem you've been having. Who knew red mosquitos could be so annoying
