Third Man Package Arrived!

^ Soul, you should know by now that EVERYTHING gets hyped up beyond realistic levels of expectation around here. Thats why I have learned to temper those expectations when it comes to anything PJ, whether release, new music, concert, etc.
I'll add, the Out of Sand song did absolutely nothing for me. It may be the limited sound quality of the recording but it seemed blah to me. I'll def have to give the live version a shot when I get to it,but yeah.
This TMR is a nice release.....sound is good, nothing spectacular, but it is a definite cool piece to add to the PJ Live library.

Oh yeah, I actually forgot about the single. I listened to an mp3 of it last week and just didn't really like the song much. Had nothing to do with the old-timey sound quality. I think the melody is a little awkward and bland Yeah, it just does nothing for me either. I still haven't listened to the actual PJ show though, and I do have somewhat high expectations for that. The show is the only reason I ordered the package in the first place, so I hope at least that hasn't been over-hyped!
(again, not saying I regret buying it. Even if the show doesn't meet my expectation... I can't have any holes in my PJ vinyl collection in any case. That's why I own a copy of Backspacer, hahaha ).

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. The definite stand outs to me were 1/2 Full , Of the Earth and Let me Sleep. Was my first time ever hearing OTE, and IDK if I liked it because it was SOMETHING different sounding from this band, but it grabbed my interest for now, more so the second half of the song.
Pendulum, MYM are snoozers for me, Deep was nice, but seemed Ed struggled in parts with it.
Life Wasted and HTI are always nice but werent the greatest representations of those songs that I've witnessed/heard.
It would have been nice to get the Interstellar Overdrive/Corduroy duo on this recording though.
I agree with Horse, this is something that I cant see myself reaching for on a regular basis but a nice little treat every once in awhile.

So it's a nice package for the music on it.... But unlike most of the people posting here, I don't find it particularly beautiful or impressive. The book is very nicely made but lacks any decent content and basically ignores the whole band besides Eddie, which I find strange. The pin isn't very cool IMO. Looks like a button from a pair of Levis. The album jacket is fine but nothing spectacular. I do like that soft-touch material, but other than that, it's just a standard jacket. I have received MUCH nicer packages from TMR. For me this is average at best as far as presentation goes. I'm not complaining mind you. I'm still really happy to have the actual show on vinyl and the price was pretty good. It's just that I found that it's been over-hyped on these boards as far as how wonderful the physical package overall goes. Nothing special as far as I'm concerned, in TMR Vault terms.

that pin is like 1 size too big.
sometimes a photog can get carried away. I mean, he is ED.

im more psyched for Yield and No Code to be honest.

Did anyone who contacted Third Man about receiving a damaged vinyl get a reply about a replacement yet? They replied last week saying they'd be taking care of these this week, but I haven't heard anything yet...

Has anyone converted the show and Ed soundbooth recording to ALAC or FLAC? I would love to have a copy but I don't have anything to convert it to digital format. I'm dying to hear it in the car. I am willing to hook someone up with a sticker to either Tampa, Ft. Laud or Jax from this year.

Would like this as well.. there's been chatter, but I don't know if anyone's actually undertaken the task.

It's on the Internet.

Not sure why everyone is so secretive about it.. Search pearl jam bootlegs on Reddit. There's both FLAC and 320 kpbs rips on there.

I don't think they are on there any more.

I have a link to .wav files. Not sure about how they work with FLAC, but hit me up if it's compatible.

Couple that with the only time I've ever been on reddit's site I was completely fuckin lost.

Lol, agreed, Reddit is so vast, I have always had a bit of trouble using it. That said, if you do a google search about something and just add "reddit" to your search, you can go directly to the relevant thread so you don't have to navigate that crazy site. Those "Reddit people" hand out a ton of really great information if you can find it. Especially for tech info and entertainment, including music.
