Why Ed

She'sCominDownFast!!

You take a look at all the cool covers ed has done this tour but yet we can't hear them......why is Ed all of a sudden obsessed with his millions of dollars. For some of us music is all we have and we can't hear ed do a version of long may you run or hurt without having to pay. We've all paid money to ed in some way or another if for shows or multiple cd's or the 2000 bootlegs which we all know now was a a way to make a lot of money but we all were convinced it was a way for us to all hear the shows. There are pearl jam fans out there who don't have a lot of money. We got families to feed and bills to pay and mortgages. I dunno, but for me the pearl jam buzz is going away. This kinda stuff makes the music not mean as much when you hear it.....tough to feel the music anymore. Sorry for ranting and not really making much sense.....im not a writer.

Ed is going to release a live album. DOESN'T ANYBODY REALIZE THIS? I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!! It's the only logical explanation to why he....Eddie Vedder of all people....wouldn't let his devoted fans BOOTLEG his show. I've read interviews with him where he recalls his days listening to boots of The Who. Later in 2000, PJ would pioneer the single sweetest live music idea ever by releasing them all. Even before 2000, the fanclub always made it clear that people were allowed to tape Pearl Jam concerts so long as they didn't bring tripods or stuff like that to the shows

So now, after 16 years, he won't allow taping. As we talk about it right now, he's sitting with his headphones on listening to every song he did at every show this year so he can pick and pluck them for a live album, Live On 2 Legs style. His manager is phoning up Paul McCartney and Trent Reznor for clearances on the covers and we'll get an awesome live album....possibly a double album.

And really Garner, when you say "There are pearl jam fans out there who don't have a lot of money. We got families to feed and bills to pay and mortgages" when referring to the fact that there aren't live Ed bootlegs, you sound like a moron.

1) Most of Ed's shows were taped--except maybe Kenyon Hall shows

2) I Do Not want the vault because frankly it is all out there too. there is not a single show I want that I could not find or do not have. You might want some that I do not though : )

3) I believe the bootleg program has shown that the shows that were legendary were mostly so because they were bootlegged. Well when everything is bootlegged and released shows do not seem as special.

1) I have no clue about
2) I disagree. Some people do not have the time to play a hide and seek game to find boots they want. I would love to see a mystery sale(i.e. recent poster sale) once a year and you get a show from the "vault"
3)I dont feel the bootleg program made any show "legendary". The shows made the bootleg program work.

The thing is that 90% of their material is recorded, so just let some of it drip out.

Why not just be satisfied? As fans we have already been given so much; we don't have to have EVERYTHING do we?

ah yes, 18 posts, that explains your naivety

these people do think they have a right to EVERYTHING


As far as I’m concerned

Ed can make as much money as he wants and he can do with it what he wants, as long as he doesn’t hurt anyone in the process

If Ed asks you not to record a show, don’t do it

If he chooses to release something from these solo shows and actually charges money for them – OH MY GOD what a money hungry dick

Please, he’s not in the business to solely satisfy every single need of yours. He has bills to pay too and he has a right to be compensated for his work

weird to be ok with boots for one day and not the next, but they always wanted cash like anyone else filling a role for the public, and seem to do a lot of good for the most part. someone who builds execeptionally safe bridges still charges for their constructon efforts so why not ed?

think you two are actually in agreement no?

SCRIBLING C-MENT

If you know how to google and torrent then you'll find every show you need.

...or stop being such a douche-bag and become a little more involved in the PJ trading community and someone may actually do a B&P with ya for any show you are looking for!

Stop friggin' complaining! That goes to everyone on this board!

Ha! Finally after 5 years I made it to 2000 posts, I miss the ole days!

oh absolutely, i was just pointing out the fact that he/she is new to the board and that explains why the person seems somewhat surprised that people aren't satisfied

my mistake,
on another note i was also thinking maybe becasue not a lot of set variation
that taping would have been not as welcome,

you know that's a good point, I never even thought of that

he probably figures he's going to put something out there eventually, so he didn't want all these other amateur files going out considering there won't be much difference on his - other than mastering it in a studio and cutting out all the obnoxious fans

OMG, I found someone who shares my view I posted something else similar to this and was accused of soapboxing...ahhh well; I've been a fan since 92 but just recently joined the pit (as you can see!) Thanks for the common ground; appreciated!
