Pearl Jam may not have been able to tour in support of their new LP Gigaton, but fans will have a novel way to experience the music on Friday when they release the Gigaton Visual Experience to anyone with Apple TV or the Apple TV app.
According to a press release, it will “bring the album alive through
immersive audio and ultra-vivid picture quality.” (In other words, it’s
an album-length music video in 4K picture.) It will be be free for seven
days before being available to purchase or rent.
“I’m excited for fans to be able to immerse themselves in the sound
and to hear the depth and layers of these songs and performances” Gigaton producer Josh Evans said in a statement. “It’s truly a unique way to experience this album.”
The band originally planned on rolling out the Gigaton Visual Experience
in movie theaters when the album arrived, but that was not possible
after the coronavirus hit. Releasing it online is one of many
last-minute changes they’ve had to make recently, including the
indefinite postponement of their special SirusXM show at New York’s
Apollo Theater and their North American arena tour. They were one of the
first major bands to postpone an entire tour due to the coronavirus.
“We’ve
worked hard with all our management and business associates to find
other solutions or options but the levels of risk to our audience and
their communities is simply too high for our comfort level,” they wrote in a statement.
“Having no examples of our national health department’s ability to get
ahead of this, we have no reason to believe that it will be under
control in the coming weeks ahead.”
They also postponed their European summer tour, but they still are
technically booked to play Asbury Park’s Sea.Hear.Now festival in
September and Dana Point, California’s Ohana festival that same month.
Nothing is certain, but it seems quite possible both of those events
will ultimately have to be postponed as well.
Eddie Vedder did play the new Gigaton song “River Cross” at
the One World: Together at Home concert special earlier this week. It’s
one of the few songs from the album to be played live in any capacity.
I have an Apple TV 4K, cause it's the best streaming device and itunes has the best discounts on movies and tv shows; but there are a lot of TV's that you can install the Apple TV app on including Amazon Fire TV, Roku TV's and devices, and Samsung TVs.
Then you only need a free itunes account.
Doesn't sound like you need Apple TV+, the paid streaming service.
I have a 4k tv and an apple tv 4k...but I don't have a dolby atmos setup (not sure many people do)...so pretty cool they are releasing this but not too many people are going to get the full experience

This is where I am. I even looked at a couple of new receivers with Dolby Atmos prior to the lockdowns but at this point still have the old receiver. So we'll receive the 4k video, but the sound will only be as good as the system we're playing it through. So the whole "immersive" experience with the Atmos sound processing will not be part of it. We're basically just watching a high def stream.

Apple is giving away Pearl Jam's latest music video in Dolby Vision + Atmos
You’ll be able to download Pearl Jam’s Gigaton Visual Experience starting April 24
If you’ve been looking to build your Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos content library, you’re in luck: Apple and Dolby have just announced that Pearl Jam’s latest release will be available in the spatial audio format for free later this week.
On offer is the Gigaton Visual Experience, an album-length music video that’s offering immersive spatial audio and colorful, high-contrast picture quality on any Apple device that supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
Obviously this sort of thing would look best on an Apple TV 4K hooked up to a Dolby Vision-compatible TV and an Atmos speaker system, but you’ll also be able to play it on compatible iPhones like the iPhone 8 and iPhone XS, iPads and MacBooks, too.
The bad news? You’ll have to act fast: the album will be free on the Apple Store starting April 24 in over 100 countries... but for only seven days, after which you’ll have to buy or rent it at the regular price.

"Giving away" sounds like misinformation to me. My assumption is that it will be free to stream for a week, and then you will have to purchase it after that. But we all know what happens when you assume.
first impression: the atmos has sounds coming out that ive never heard on the cd version of the album. its definitely atmospheric with the surrounds...100% purchasing this.
It sounds awesome. You don't need Atmos to enjoy the surround experience. I have the Apple TV before the 4K was released and it is definitely in surround sound.
Bummer. It is not the 1 hour and 25 minutes the theater ads had it listed as.
I think I'll be ok. I'm usually sitting through 20 min of previews when I go to the theater, lol. Either is is how long it is, or they'll release a DVD/Blu-ray later.
Search Gigaton. I logged into my girls Apple TV account. Pearl Jam didn't show up. Gotta search for it to view.
I found it in the Apple TV app on my phone but not on my TV. The Apple TV box is basically just iTunes, right?! It’s not there. And when I try playing it on my TV via AirPlay it just displays an error message

Same here. Can you not get the Apple TV app through the Apple TV box?

Doesn’t look like it. I can access the iTunes Store but not the App Store. My box is probably too old, I‘ve had it for 6 years at least
