Yield promo? Any ideas?

on2legs

Picked this keychain up recently and haven't seen it before. Any idea where it originated? From the band or else where? Thanks

I thought it was a boot Tom. For yield there was the KROQ metal keychain and Paul told me about another one that's a flame?

Hmmm.. Interesting. Isn't the kroq technically a boot? Isn't that why it doesn't actually say pearl jam on it? Because it was put out by the radio station and not the band?

KROQ was there promoting the show. I got my keychain from there setup. They were also broadcasting from the show. So the keychain is official and not bootlegged.

No worries. Agree 100%... Just saying that the lack of the band name on it makes it a promo item made by the station and not something released by the band. It was a freebie given away by station personnel not something sold at a merch table inside the venue. So in a way it's a bootleg, but a bootleg that was officially given out at the show by the radio station. My use of bootleg is not to put down the authenticity of the item or its quality, but just refers to something not officially produced and released by the band.

I lurk in Jacks for hours hoping for Bruce to stop in. Someday my patience will be rewarded. I'm considering getting a membership at the Atlantic Club because I know people who run into him there all the time.

I used to dig Funk and Standard but nowadays it seems too much like Urban Outfitters.

Good memory . Krock was giving them away outside MSG back in 98. I had a whole stack at one point but now I'm down to one that's stuck on an old radio that I have in the garage.

Two very different K rocks, lol.

I think the NY one was WXRK. It's the same one that Eddie called 92.7 instead of 92.3 when they were broadcasting night 2 at Jones Beach.
