Holy Grails Acquired!

BIGDaddyWil

Finally, brought home a few Holy Grails…..

First, Give Way CD still sealed:





Second, 1998 Detroit Poster: not mint, pin holes and a few wrinkles toward the bottom left







All in all, I'm a happy camper!

Are all the songs on Give Way different than Live On Ten Legs?

Its not LO2L, It's the 3/5/98 Melbourne show but missing 10 or so songs.

The tracks of Give Way are from the same show that circulates as a bootleg. The 1998 Melbourne Soundboard one. Except Give Way sounds better. It's also a novelty because Best Buy was supposed to destroy them all Lo2L is made up of tracks from the north american 98 tour. No overlap.

I but jealous the poster got a copy.. definitely a holy grail I'd like to get a copy of

CONGRATS on finding your GRAIL!!!
So glad to see these '98 posters starting to resurface a bit!!!
I was lucky a few weeks backs and found BOTH posters from my '98 shows in the SAME WEEK!!

Thanks Dave! Those Seattle posters are beautiful!

Mine have pin holes or even staple holes in them too...but the colors are just INCREDIBLE and they are both in pretty good shape for being 16 years old!!

That poster is just delicious! Congratulations on such great finds!

I know it cost a lot but I'd open that cd and rip it while you can. It won't last as long as a well kept vinyl. Nice score by the way.

congrats on the holy grail find!

I recently visited Chicago for the first time ever, and I managed to find a vintage copy of the No Code CD w/ the Polaroid inserts at the legendary Reckless Records!

Are those valuable? I’m sure I have my promo copy in a box somewhere. I was managing a music store and one of the label reps gave it to me.

Didn’t all the original No Code cd’s come with the Polaroids?

I forgot about this thread!  It's kinda funny, but I've since sold both of these pieces.  The only prized piece I have left in a mint 1998 East Lansing, Michigan poster.  It might be time to let that one go as well.  It's funny the older I get, the less I need things.

lowbudgetlush

Its funny how this just popped up. I have both the Detroit and East Lansing posters. Detroit is mint and East Lansing has pin holes. I hung it up on my wall after the show. Years ago I traded the Washington D.C. reaper poster for Detroit 1998 & Columbus 2003 posters. Out of curiosity how much did you sell the Detroit poster for. It may be time for me to get rid of some of this stuff too.

I have all 3 of my '98's hung up around the house.   Is suppose my challenge is that I've been to so many concerts, Pearl Jam and other bands, I have more concert posters than I have wall space, so only my favourite ones get hung up.   Still, I like it better then some kind of fancy artwork

I do often wonder what happens when we all hit the age where we start to downsize and have to pair down our collections.... that'll be a sad era :(

1998 tour = the best tour posters

I'm pretty sure I'll be buried with my pockets full-o-picks.
 Would make a cool poster. An Egyptian type burial pyramid cross section of a pearl jam fan. It would be big. A room for records, posters, 10 rooms for other stuff plus 1000 statues of Big Pete to protect me and my loot in the afterlife.

I don't have any picks :(   The only item I've got that I caught at a PJ show was one of Matt Cameron's wristbands he tossed out at the last Vancouver show.    I've been in GA, but usually not quite close enough picks can make it over to me.   A wristband however has more heft and would of sailed over my head if it wasn't for my height and long arms

Why were Best Buy suppose to destroy Give Way? Pearl Jam figured they could release a live compilation album instead as a "real" release?
