I can't get enough of Pearl Jam DVD's

Hey, are you like me and jump at the chance to buy their DVD'S? The prices are very fair but would you be willing to pay double if it meant the band would release more of them?

I would, I mean I'm sure they don't make much from record sales as sales have declined since their early days. I guess it's like us fans subsidizing the band in the way. Sounds wacky I know, but I'd pay $40 for one of their DVD's if they released one per year.

    What we need is a Touring Band 2008 DVD. I'd buy 10 of them

    What they need to do is Instead of putting each show on CD they should put them on DVD(or Blu-Ray) and take pre-orders only on them so they know how many of each show to make.

    I end a long night of drinking with a PJ dvd every Saturday night/Sunday morning.....good way to end a party before I pass out
    Oh yea, and I definitely would pay $40 for a new dvd every year.....hell, lets see unplugged, benaroya, gorge, touring bands all round...let's have it all says me
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Now that's a good idea and it's not that difficult these days with these hand held HD camcorders. They don't need pre-orders either, I would think that burning extra DVD's would be a cinch, keep the packaging really simple as well.

    Time to start a petition.

    I wish they would put all that concert footage they've taken in the past to good use and start making a series of bootleg shows... heck I wouldn't mind downloading DVD's from base camp and burning them yourself like previous audio bootlegs.
