When I first read this statement, I thought that the CDs were going to be factory pressed CDs like the 2000 and 2003 bootlegs. After reading the e-mail regarding the 2008 Bootleg Program and some of the other comments in this thread, it seems that the CDs will actually be CD-Rs.
I find this very disappointing and misleading. Am I the only one that thinks the comment "CDs will be manufactured according to customer demand..." meant manufactured in a CD pressing facility instead of burned on a computer?
Very misleading. Granted, technology is getting better, but I have a bunch of CD-Rs around the 7yr mark that are just unreadable at this stage of their life. While I certainly appreciate the desire to appease consumer demands, this is just wrong on so many levels.
Wow, I am one of the "misleds" then. I totally thought they were just your regular store-bought CDs. Well, If I knew that, I would have gotten digital download.
Do we know for sure if they are going to be like the 00/03 boots? Why would they sell CDRs when anyone could save $7 and burn them by themselves?
edit: Ok, I see the reply saying they are CDRs. Can we have some info on if there will be nice packaging, etc, or if this is just going to be some CDRs tossed in a mailer?
Yeap, I was just suckered into it because of thinking of the packaging. If it's just some crappy mailer, yeah, I'll be a little pissed off. Not too much mind you because hell, we got the freaking Bonnaroo boot!!
I really doubt they will just be in a crappy mailer. Anyway, look at it this way, to get the same quality burn yourself you'd have to pay $14.99 for the FLAC, then download it, then burn it. Is it worth $2 to get someone to do that for you? Maybe it's not. For me I think it probably would be, especially because I would assume they would still have some kind of packaging and printed discs. Of course, I'm international so I have to decide if that's worth $6.50. It probably still is.
might go wild and purchase the first 7 show's in one order soon, and then the 6 remaining shows july 2nd. but .. hmm .. will beacon be also released via cd/flac/mp3 now? cause bonnaroo which we thought wasn't gonna make it officially released.
what to do. d'oh! wished my ass was in the usa experiencing the free cd shipping cost experience.

I think I'll just wait and see what the CDs end up looking like. I'm sure they'll arrive in the US long before I'll get them. Then I can decide whether it's worth it, or just d/l the FLAC.

Although I understand how you could have misunderstood the statement, I don't think it was misleading.
according to customer demand should pretty much tell you that they will make as many CD's as ordered. While pressing CD's (and I'm assuming this) would require that they be produced in batches.
It's too bad that they won't be pressed though :(

well, it's father's day. been listening to the pj most of the day. also been checking out a few audio/video clips of the past 3 show's online. so, i have given in. i bought the first 3 show's today .. via cd style!
shipping per show is 4.50 cdn. total was 13.50 for the 3 show's, cd format style. even if i waited later on to purchase etc.. the shipping cost will be the same. no box set. so, let the buying games begin.
good work bringing back the CDs. The last time around it really felt like the bootleg download thing was moving in the right direction.... you could download shows almost immediately... then it disappeared as older download streams started coming available.
Is this a step toward helping fans experience the recent live growth and awesome development as well as the opportunity to experience times of old? Or just selling music until demand slows again?

awesome awesome awesome!! couldnt go to any concerts but getting the music from VCAST on my phone! and some of the songs are free, which is amazing for broke me! (they change after every concert- right now 'do the evolution' is free, but tomorrow it'll probably be something else). so far i have 'army reserve' from the columbia concert, 'hard to imagine' from camden I and 'do the evolution' from camden II
********* Do we place mp3 bootlegs orders now? Or do you just preorder if you want a cd? I’m guessing no preorder for mp3, since it’ll be over the net. *********

You can pre-order all 3 options as you so choose. They will be available on set dates. So far, I have pre-ordered all of the mp3 shows available.
Got the West Palm FLAC download yesterday and it sounds fantastic!! Thanks 10c/Pearl Jam for the boots and all of the various options this time around as well!!
Hello everybody!
since there is no way i can go to USA to see them live, i already downloaded the west palm beach and the tampa concerts as mp3 bootlegs.
Just a question: when i last downloaded PJ shows, there were also availables as jpg files the front and back covers, but this time they are not. jpg files will be later available or i must invent something to package the burned CDs?
How long will bootlegs be available for these shows? I planned on ordering a hard copy for a few of the shows and I was just wondering if anyone knew when they will stop being available.

Was going to d/l the shows in FLAC but now since there is no artwork I'll wait on feedback RE: the made to order CDs.
Question on the shows that are available: Is there still an issue with them including 2 songs in one track? This was my main grievance in '06; not hard to fix but annoying.

I've downloaded WPB and Tampa and every song has been separate, so no worries

Ill probably get the 2 Camden shows in CD form and try out a few others in Flac. Waiting to decide though.

thanks for answering.
If I could order all CDs in a pack I would have to pay 23,5% import fees which would be $ 3,99 per CD.
So the extra costs are only 50 Cent for one bootleg.
And that calculation does not even include the shipping costs for a bundle.
So we're talking 13x0,50 = 6,50 which the bundleshipping would cost for sure.
OK - ordering is more work - but it doesn't cost me more!

Not gonna wait...I purchased the first 10 and when the last 3 (or 4 I hope) become available I will be getting them...
