Many thanks and maximum Kudos to Cameron4President for putting all the work into the latest download collection - The Theory of Vitalogy. It's sounding really good to my ears, and none of these projects would have come to life had it not been for the enormous amount of effort and expertise Cameron4President has invested in them. I'm really really grateful, and appreciative, just wanted to say that!

Thanks!!

Thank you so much for your praise Tremors, but I could not do these projects wihtout the help of you and Myra. Honestly I can not do this without the help of everybody that gave us all of these amazing suggestions. In short, these projects are done by the people, for the people.

I can't wait until our next project. We are going to raise the bar a little higher each time.

Well you do all the hard work and keep the thing on track!! I guess we help to steer it too. Has been good to have a few heads to bounce ideas off - especially since people's preferences are so personal. It's great when we reach an agreement though! This past two days I have run through Backspacer Live, Ten 'Now', and the Theory of Vitalogy - all sounding great!!

Yes looking forward to the next one now, after a little breather

Latest Download: The Theory of Vitalogy (26.11.2010)

http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... alogy.html


Hi!

With help from other board members, Cameron4President and I have been putting some time into compiling a series of MP3 collections that pull together 'Live' versions of a Pearl Jam studio album. The challenge has been to select some great live performances which capture the mood or sound of an era, whilst also working well together and flowing as a single 'album'. Cameron4President and I are very pleased with the albums we have put together so far; and we have been working on them here on the message board as a kind of 'long-distance' online collaborative project.

I think Cameron4President deserves some serious credit for leading on this - making the general idea a reality, putting in a lot of time, gathering together and selecting a lot of alternative live versions, creating artwork, uploading them, and hosting them on his bootlegs blog:

He has produced some great collections we can all listen to, share, discuss and enjoy.

Having just completed 'Ten Live: Then and Now', I thought it would be good to present you with the download links all in one place – for those who are interested in listening. This concept may not appeal to everyone, but we think it works well. No doubt there are better versions which would have worked great together and produced something different, so if you are interested in a making suggestions on future projects, feel free to participate – since we have been making the decisions together here online, based on the feedback posted on the board.

Here are the links to the projects so far:



'Mixed Metaphor: Backspacer Live'



http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... pacer.html

(Our first collaborative project – we tried to find strong performances which captured the raw energy of the recent tour, and include some cracking versions of some of the Backspacer songs which may not be so popular amongst Backspacer doubters. Have a listen and see what you think of this alternative version of the album. A different show for each song, some choice covers as bonus material to round things off. Dedicated to Dr Stip Zoidberg off of Red Mosquito!)



'Turpentine and Nepotism: Vs. live'



http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... -live.html

(A difficult project to work on, particularly due to the strength of the famous 'Fox' Atlanta broadcast. We took the Fox as the core of the project, and added performances from the Vs era which we thought sounded good, captured the times, and still work together as a listenable album. A barnstorming collection! Vs-era covers as bonus tracks.)



'Ten Live: Then and Now'



Disc 1 ('Then')

http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... isc-1.html

Disc 2 ('Now')

http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... isc-2.html

(Cameron4President's idea to put side by side performances from the Ten era, with those from the recent backspacer tour. It's interesting to hear how far we've come. Disc one is a 'Live Ten' from the Ten era, with Dave A on drums, Disc two is today's lineup, with Matt Cameron showing his qualities, and drawing from the 2009 / 2010 Backspacer shows. Two very different listening experiences...... Intense!!)



'The Theory of Vitalogy'



http://dp-rearviewmirror.blogspot.com/2 ... alogy.html


(Given that it was never going to be possible to recreate the studio album 'live' due to certain tracks never having played live, we followed Cameron4President's lead, and compiled a Vitalogy era collection known as 'The Theory of Vitalogy' which took some sounds, style and some atmosphere from the Self Pollution Radio broadcast (and those times). Kicking off with some swearing and an early 'Jack Irons' Chant – this collection takes the studio album tracklist as its backbone but messes it up a bit, draws heavily on live performances which showcase Jack Irons' memorable playing, and some key performances from the Self Pollution show. With a lot of input and help from other forum members, Myra joined the core team, and after much agonising about tracklist and songs, we have produced our favourite collection yet. A notable omission has been nothingman which partly bit the dust due to inferior sound quality in the performances from the selected era, and partly because we wanted to upset people! (joke!). Hope you enjoy!)

Warning: Features explicit content on several occasions.




I will update this page with more links if we put together any more collections. Feel free to join in in the future with song selections or feedback on how the mix is working out. The more input the better, and the more interesting the project is to work on.....

Hey, I heard that.

Right from the beginning with these projects you have been really good at 'cutting through the crap' to make sure we actually get somewhere. I think without *some* editorial control we would still be going round and round the possible tracklist for Backspacer Live, and nobody would have got to listen to any music!! I think that having a few of us contributing is great though, because everybody has quite different taste in what they like to listen to, so when we do reach an agreement, it is often a sign that we have found a good version etc.

Cameron4President, I reckon you're starting to get itchy for the next project already....... am I right!!??
