They do a lot more than ship Pearl Jam CDs too slowly for most of your liking.

    Don't care if its a BD release or a HDBR - but it should be shot on film (35, or 16. Maybe even 8)

    I'm honestly pretty surprised that Pearl Jam hasn't moved to webcast some shows after Phish started doing it.  The quality is pretty good.  If there are issues, nugs refunds you, and you still get to watch.

    I hope it is something they are considering for their next tour.

    I'm not surprised?  PJ aren't the biggest fans of video.  Often requesting that their festival performances not be streamed,  having big gaps between official video releases etc...   I'd be more surprised if Pearl Jam did something like this.. seems out of character?

    I would have said the same for Phish before they started it.  They were never fans of video.

    Like Pearl Jam, they encourage audio taping but don't allow video.  As the article says, Phish doesn't even really utilize video screens (at least for indoor shows).  It's just a way for those at home to get in on the experience, not via periscope or inferior technology.

    I guess a big difference between Phish and Pearl Jam is how much more Phish varies up their setlist and live shows.  Both fan bases are incredibly devoted, but Phish fans are probably more likely to watch a few shows in a row knowing that there will be no repeats, jamming, etc.

    Would love this.  Watching the Phish webcasts is such a treat now that I'm older and can't do tour anymore.

    Much better than scouting records stores in the  90s for overpriced bootlegs with marginal sound.
