Metallica and Dave Matthews band have been putting up shows for free every week during quarantine.  

Pearl Jam put a show up and charge us for it. I wish I was shocked but I’m not. Extremely poor form and very disappointing. 

Also Phish and Dead&Company.

i wouldnt mind paying for a live stream, but an old show, no

And My Morning Jacket.

I think it's kind of lame that they are charging to be honest.  And as someone said, there is great video of this show on YT with multiple camera views and soundboard audio.  If they are going to charge for something, at least make it a show that hasn't been widely viewed already (by die hard fans, at least).  

Release the friggen Gigaton tour rehearsals. I'd gladly pay double for that.  

I read the email too fast and thought they were finally doing something for the fans after all this time.

I understand a portion of the sales go to charity, but Phish had raised over $500,000 on July 12 by streaming shows for free and encouraging donations through their charitable foundation the Waterwheel Foundation, which has been donating to various causes like HeadCount, Feeding America, Volunteers in Medicine, Color of Change, etc.

I'm not sure what the total is up to now

They also make new/old merch each week with part of the proceeds going to charity.

Hope they do the same for the away shows that tour as well.

“First time playing at home in Seattle in almost a decade?” What about the Key Arena show in 2013? I swear I was there. That happened, right?

Yeah, I was scratching my head at that one!  More like “first Seattle show in HALF a decade”...

Does anyone know if this Nugs TV is compatible with Apple Air Play, or do they have an app so that it can be viewed on a TV?

Metallica, Phish, DMB, Dead and Co, Grateful Dead are all doing weekly free shows with donation links.

Pearl Jam finally steps up to the plate and they are charging. Why is this band so backwards when it comes to fan engagement?

Donations means you still pay. Unless you don't donate.

I remember people here saying they would pay a monthly fee or something similar to get video streams.

Yes, I understand that. We are currently in a global pandemic where many people have lost their jobs however and they may not be in a financial situation where they can afford to do so

. Other bands are able to do it, why can't Pearl Jam? Why are they always so behind?

Very excited for this, but yeah, what? Strange.

Either donate or don’t, not sure why that matters. Bands can do what they want. Is there a line? Why not just make all their output free with optional ‘donation’? Buy it or don’t, babies.

Exactly

Clutch just did a live stream where they let the fans pick the songs. 4,000 die hard fans had a say in that. All free. Played songs they havent played in 23 years.

I don't understand why people in here are japping about them charging for this like they're Gene Simmons or something.

I haven't seen any of you complaining that they didn't let you download their boots off nugs for free because "pandemic" or "people are struggling now so Pearl Jam should also struggle and not make money". So why would they with a "video boot".

This is a band that is on the nicer and liberal end of the spectrum when it comes to fans using their stuff and putting up stuff on youtube or sharing between eachother - whether it is video-boots with Pearl Jams official bootleg audio on it or whatever.

They are very liberal - even so much so that this very show already exist on youtube with the offical audio on it, if I'm not mistaken.

So, yes Metallica is releasing shows for free on youtube and hoping you donate for a good cause. Pearl Jam is instead doing it through nugs (who want a cut of every stream I would imagine). Just because Metallica was doing it for free, and some bands jumped on that model doesn't mean one is greedy for not suddenly doing the same.

I DON'T WANT TO BE CALLED NO GOD DAMN SHEEP - BUT I'M STICKING UP FOR MY FAVORITE BAND HERE.

I get it. I paid to watch a live Electric Six gig a couple of weeks ago (they put on a pandemic show and sent the video and audio of it afterwards for us to keep - a superb idea) and a Mick Flannery gig and a couple of others during the pandemic. I'm all good with paying to support artists and paying for good artistic content.
What I find difficult about this is we're paying for content that is already out there. The band aren't doing anything new. If they were doing a live gig and giving the proceeds to charity or their crew, I'd be all over paying for it, and paying more than €10 for it. This just feels like an easy and frankly lazy way to make some money.

Pearl Jam Prep Pay-Per-View of 2018 Seattle Show

Nugs.net stream features 33-song set with numerous covers, Brandi Carlile guest spot

Pearl Jam will document a hometown concert from their 2018 tour in an upcoming pay-per-view broadcast.

The band’s August 8th performance at Seattle’s Safeco Field — the first of two sold-out gigs billed as “The Home Shows” — will be available to view via Nugs.net throughout Labor Day weekend, starting September 4th at 8 p.m. ET. The general public can access the recording for $14.99, and Pearl Jam’s “Ten Club” members will receive special pricing. 

The 33-song, career-spanning set featured numerous covers (Neil Young’s “Throw Your Hatred Down” and “Rockin’ in the Free World,” the Beatles’ “I’ve Got a Feeling,” the White Stripes’ “We’re Going to Be Friends,” Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” and Little Steven’s “I Am a Patriot”) and a guest spot from Brandi Carlile on her song “Again Today.” 

“We’ve worked with Pearl Jam for 20 years, and while we miss seeing them on stage, the archive of more than 400 performances dating all the way back to 1993 has helped fans fill the void,” Nugs founder and CEO Brad Serling said in a statement. “Streaming this incredible 2018 show from their hometown of Seattle is a ray of sunshine for these times.”
