    Sound is pretty good & the Gigaton songs did sound really good in Europe. 7 O'clock is much heavier live than the album & the ending of Retrograde is so good just like the album. A good decision to release this as we waited so long for the tour

    Shipping label printed for my CD on July 11.  Nothing since.  You know, for as much as 10C charges for shipping, this is inexcusable.
    Had shipping label printed e-mail arrive on July 11th also.  Anyone else not get the CD yet?

    No CD yet, no eta in shipping info.
    I love having the live cuts all in one place, but wish they were from 2022 shows. Live 2022 sounds even better than live 2021 (especially Quick Escape!), but I still prefer any live renditions of Gigaton over the album.

    I wrote yesterday, and got a reply today saying there were supply chain issues, and they were awaiting arrival of the "remaining inventory."  I didn't bother replying to tell them that maybe they shouldn't say something is on the way when that 'something' isn't even in their hands. An e-mail a month ago saying there were supply chain issues would have been the honest thing to do.

    Have listened a couple times through.  I think the Gigaton songs really do stand out as unique in Pearl Jam's live catalog.  HOWEVER, I think it's a bad decision that they put out a release with so many screw-ups!  Eddie flubs lines all over the place.  And there are clearly rough transitions in a couple songs that make me cringe.  

    For the bootlegs of complete shows, these flubs are understandable.  PJ has a huge catalog and us fans are willing to trade a super-tight, same setlist for the random and rarely played.  For a release live Gigaton: Tour Edition where they are actually spotlighting live performances of one album, this is hard to accept.  I do think the songs sound very good... in spots.  But just way too many mistakes.  Think of Live on Two Legs!!  It's not like they released an album full of mistakes there!  Same idea should have been pushed for Gigaton: Tour Edition.  If you had to wait a couple more legs so you could get clean performances of all the songs, then do that!  

    While listening, I was wondering how many major acts would put out an official release with so many flubs.  
    I disagree. I think the point of releasing it now was to spotlight the songs while on tour. Act as a refresher for the album given that so much time has passed since it’s release. It’s also not meant to be a super wide release like live on two legs. Like is the cd even available on Amazon or in stores? Isn’t it a limited edition thing?

    I think the songs sound awesome, especially considering they were culled from a few festival shows after years of not playing live. It’s a cool little cd, nothing more nothing less. Perhaps you had different expectations but overall I thinks it’s pretty awesome. Also helps that I love gigaton 😁

    Mine too. Label was created on 7/11 and no movement or update since. 

    I finally recieved the Earthling CD and record I pre-ordered, though. Those showed up last week.

    Mine still hasn't moved. I emailed 10c and they said it would ship last week but that didn't happen.

    I'm in the same boat also. Going to give it some time. I'm sure the merch dept. is pretty busy right now.....
