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!

all very well for those who have computers. i dont even own one and have to drop into the library every morning to see the previous night's setlist. there's a joy in playing the physical cd rather than a download.

Especially considering the fact that my computer has absolutely no hard drive on it I think this is a pretty ridiculous idea. I mean granted its good for those who want the music right away and ill prob buy a set list or two that i like immediately just out of need for live Pj, but come on cds as a thing of the past?? Itunes releases most new cds and i still buy them when they come out. There is nothing like having a true hard copy. CD-R's blow ass in my opinion. They dont work in my car, or my main stereo which are both of VERY high quality. This is typical of many burned cds. Also tell me there is not a joy in owning one of the limited edition concerts when they are released on cd. As someone who has almost 50 shows from 00 and 03 I would be utterly disappointed if this "mp3" format was the only release. Plus after reading of about the many problems and complaints with both FLAC and the mp3 Ifeel compelled to say that never once did i complain about the cd quality of past released bootlegs ive purchased so that also tells you something...

Absolutely! So far, all the 2006 boots (except maybe Hartford) have been sub-standard in some way. Either the mix sucks, or there are errors of some sort. IMO the Pearl Jam boots have never sounded worse.

um... just out of curiousity, when exactly did Itunes start actually releasing CDs? that is some news to the general public; I'm sure that Steve Jobs would love to hear that.

Additionally, if your stereo system is of "really high quality" and was purchased within the last 3-4 years, then it should play CDRs without any problem; my crappy AIWA bookshelf system that i've had for the past 5 yrs manages just fine. i don't think that burned CDs not playing on most systems is actually a common complaint; otherwise people wouldn't burn music.

At least there are bootlegs! Id rather have something then have to find a half assed recorded audience recording with someone talking in the background.

So no actual official bootleg CD releases like in 2000 & 2003?? That sucks...they were cool collectibles. I mean, the downloadable ones are great cause you get them right after the show, but the official bootleg releases were cool to trade and collect. Oh well, just ranting.....

i conquer (as I just posted). The official cd bootleg releases were cool to trade and collect. Now, all we will have are a bunch of burned shows on CDs. Which is great cause we get the bootleg immediately after the show, but the bootlegs from '00 & '03 were awesome

We wanted to post an FAQ to help answer a few people’s questions about the current bootleg program.

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

I was wondering if anyone who downloaded Camden 5/28/2006 noticed that the dedication of Black to my son Sebastian was omitted?
My question is: can anyone direct me where to go to check if there is a possibility of obtaining the "original" concert recording? I noticed the mention of the "mixed for release" comment and assume it was a judgement call to eliminate this particular part. However, seeing as it is unbelieveably important to me, I was hoping I could get some direction.
Thanks so much!

My question is if there are not going to be cd's, why is artwork for a front and back cover for a cd included in the download? I don't think we are supposed to print out cd-foramtted paper covers and then buy/borrow empty cases, etc.

I think cd's will be offered post-tour and to tame the need for live PJ, the downloads are an intermediate offering. Don't take my word for it, just my perception.

I downloaded the show...the dedication is on there towards the end of Encore Break 2.

I believe they are including the artwork exactly so that we can buy the paper and empty cases. a lot of high end systems don't take ipods yet, ditto cars. this way we can listen to them everywhere even though we may not have an iPod.

There will not be CD's. I still for the life of me can't understand why this is such a big deal to people. The downloads will be available for years, so you can collect the entire tour over a longer period of time if you want, rather than having to decide which ones you can afford and pay for them all up front. It'll be a gift that keeps on giving! How's that for the glass being half full?

I don't know what on earth other than a total fantasy would give you a gut feeling that the current downloads are just there to tide people over. This is it, enjoy them!

good job...they sound good

sorry to beat a dead horse but does anyone know if there will be bootlegs for the Petty shows esp. Denver?
Thanks

Cd's are for pussies. Fact is, if you collect live music/bootlegs, you wouldn't care how the live shows came. Just be grateful of the fact that you don't have to go trekking for a live shows period. I just went to both East Rutherford shows and the fact that I'm able to download the shows I went to is enough for me. Gone are the days when I used to go to Revolver records on 8th St for $30/$40 a pop in NYC in the 80's looking for sound recordings of bootlegs. Thank you Pearl Jam!

Since Flac users are more advanced, can you please make 24/96 versions of the bootlegs available, surely this is being done during the mixing, why not give us the same resolution so we can choose if we want to downgrade the encoding.
