    It was originally used as something to shut people up, and now people won't shut up about it ;)

    No, it never happened, and probably won't happen.

    Ding ding ding.

    Big = they probably had a feeling it would be a hit since it's so catchy

    Bold = taking on W when the country hadn't fully turned the corner and regained our collective brain/testicles

    Free = it was free

    I think we can move on now...

    Classic!

    Lots of talk about it, but no tangible evidence of its existence.

    they should do the big, bold, and free thing as a mini-tour of free 10c-only shows in small venues.

    Word was that is was something huge and the band could not pull it off in the end. It was not the WWS single.
    that is the first honest answer here. i also heard eddie was gonna give mustache rides to audience members........

    Even knowing it's not going to happen, I would still like to know what it was.

    I wish!

    There are a few of us on here who have been screaming for 10c only club show for a couple of years now.

    C'mon, Pearl Jam!

    At least do a COUPLE of them.
    Say 2 or 3 per coast.

    Hell, you only have to play an hour (of course, the setlist will have to be off the chain!), just DO IT.

    :D

    I've always held the idea that it was a free 10C show at a large arena, like MSG.

    Not that I have any evidence to support.

    It definitely was TWO years ago. They failed. Let it go.

    C'mon people. It was definitely the WWS single. For a time, it wasn't that common for a band, especially the size of PJ, to give away their first single. I think when the Big and Bold announcement was made, it was unique...then when it came time to do it...maybe not so unique anymore. Hard to say, but I've accepted that that was it and was not disappointed. It's all about expectations people..and we expect way too much.

    No.
    If it was, they would have said so.
    I believe we actualy got vague confirmation from Kat that it never happened, and that they "tried".

    Thanks for playing though.
    WWS single a poor "consolation prize".
