Pearl Jam Bootlegs 2006

We wanted to post an FAQ to help answer a few people’s questions about the current bootleg program.
Q: Where do I find the bootlegs?
A: The bootlegs can be accessed from http://bootlegs.pearljam.com
Please note that if you have installed the previous bootleg application and are trying to go directly into the system, you will need to go to http://bootlegs.pearljam.com and install the new version.
Q: When are the shows available for download?
A: Shows will typically be available 24-48 hours after the show ends. The first couple shows in Toronto will be posted a bit slower than the rest of the tour. Ideally we are doing our best to have the majority of shows posted by the following night.
Q: I have purchased the show, but the start button is not illuminated, what’s wrong???
A: This means the show is not available for download yet. Once it has been uploaded into the system, the start button will work.
Q: Can I pre-purchase the shows?
A: Absolutely. You can pre-purchase the shows before they happen and then download them once they are posted. You can also set your “preferences” to automatically download the shows when available.
Q: Are these soundboard recordings?
A: NO! This is one of the biggest misconceptions about the bootleg program. Every Pearl Jam concert is multi-track recorded from a separate split taken from the stage and professionally mixed for release by Brett Eliason. This is a SIGNIFICANT increase in quality over a soundboard recording, which is a raw recording of the mix being fed into the venue sound system
Q: My downloads are sometimes very slow, what's the cause of this?
A: The Basecamp network is directly connected to the world's largest and fasted CDN (Content Delivery Network). This is the same CDN used by Sony, Microsoft, iTunes etc. Even at moments when all Pearl Jam fans are simultaneously downloading, our collective usage is miniscule compared to the systems capabilities. If you are experiencing a slow download it is because your local provider is limiting your download speed, or the traffic on your local carriers network is extremely busy.
Q: What do I do if I am having a technical problem?
A: Please visit http://bootlegs.pearljam.com and launch the application. Click the “Customer Service” link and follow the instructions to get your question answered. NOTE: We will NOT be responding to posts on the board or private messages. Please use the online form to send all questions/comments.
Q: Can you help let us know when shows are available?
A: Yes, we are going to begin posting advisories on the boards to let fans know what time shows are likely to be posted, and then confirm them when they are.
Q: I have never used FLAC files before, can you teach me how to use them?
A: We are advising non-experts to purchase MP3’s. Basecamp will not be offering customer support for FLAC users beyond pointing them to a number of resources on the web where they can educate themselves. The Pearl Jam community is also a great resource to help learn about FLAC files. The simple fact is that they are not for ALL users. If you listen to most of your music on your computer or on your portable digital player, we’d suggest you purchase MP3’s.
Q: Are the MP3’s still going to be quality?
A: Absolutely, in fact we have INCREASED the bit rate of the MP3’s on this tour from 192K to 256K.
Q: Why are songs sometimes grouped together? For example on the Toronto 1 boot, why are Grievance, Daughter and Not For You combined into a single track?
A: When the performance does not stop between songs, when the drum and bass flow from one song into the next, the songs will sometimes be left together as that is how the band wanted the performance to be heard.
We will be posting more here in the coming weeks as needed. Once again, if you have any questions or comments please go to http://bootlegs.pearljam.com and use the feedback form there. Thanks!

Yeah, that's my question. Do we get cds? I have three friends who were at the show last night who want me to get them bootlegs when I get mine, which won't be possible if it's only available for download.Milestone wrote:Good idea to have a FAQ....but one of the most frequently asked questions is not included.

what will the artwork be like...hopefully different than 2005...He is alive but feels absolutely nothing.
So is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him.
By nine he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact.
No tradebacks...
So this is what it's like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then...0 -
How do I access the music? I've bought shows and got conf. email but there's no DL manager! Whats going on?0

Just trying to help, but that's not a question to ask Basecamp. They run the bootleg download program and have nothing to do with physical CD's being released.
That question should be directed to the 10c."If no one sees you, you're not here at all"0 -

If you bought the 2006 shows, they're not available yet. You will be able to download them once they are made available. If you bought 2005 shows or the Vault show, then just go to http://bootlegs2.pearljam.com/ and launch the web application. Sign in, click on the show you bought, and then hit start. It's that easy. This version doesn't require any software downloads or anything like that, you don't have to install it. You can just run it right in your web browser. I do believe you need to have the latest verison of Java in order to sign in, though.--"I'm like an opening band for the sun"

CD's are a thing of the past.
Why can't you get your friends the bootleg? They can buy it themselves on the website and burn it, or if they don't have the equipment, you can do it for them."Fuck the talkin', let's start rocking." - E.V. 9-5-00

I wrote an email to Kat asking about cd's and she directed me towards the downloadable bootlegs. I think she misread my question.
Email info@tenclub.net and see if you get an answer. If you do please make a thread so we can all know for sure.0 -

People still don't seem to be able to get over the fact that there won't be CDs. If there were, something would have been said by now.
Whether we like it or not, CDs are a thing of the past when it comes to the bootlegs, downloads are the way forward. I personally love CD bootlegs, but the downloads sound great and i put them on CD anyway!"This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."0 -

Will the Irving Plaza show ever be put up as a downloadable bootleg? That set list was really good and I would like to add it to my collection.
Thanks0
