  1. Have U2 ever snippeted Pearl Jam?

    I feel Alive would make an awesome snippet in one of U2's songs about the end of the world. "I... I... I'm still alive".

    Another PJ question, if you don't mind:

    PJ has been officially releasing soundboard bootlegs since 2000 but they only sell shows from 2008-2010 on their website. Can I assume that pearljambootlegs.org (from where I recently downloaded about 10 shows dating between 2000-2006) a legimate site? In others words, is it directly affiliated with the band?



    always with great pleasure

    i guess it isn't an affiliate site but it is a legimate thing .. there are others sites/blogs that shares the 2000-2006 bootlegs, like presenttense blog, for example, which link i took from the ten club forum and i don't think they allow illegal just in there.
    also in the pearl jam page of T.U.B.E. there all the 2005 mp3s and they say ..
    They are no longer being sold at their site and can be shared with approval from the band
    T.U.B.E. never allow sharing official/ilegal stuff
    another amazing thing from this amazing band

    oh yes .. just in the last leg of 360 in a city at random, Seattle hehehe, Bono snippeted The fixer and just Alive at the end of Vertigo ... uhm not the best song to add some PJ snippets to
    there were Eddie and Matt in the audience
  4. Alive should have been sung at the end of Until the End of the World instead.
  5. the complete Ed's performance

    I like the look of this presenttenseboots site...everything on one page...cover art presented...I'll be book marking this one...and there have been some connection problems with pearljambootlegs of late,,,(although you can download individual songs there).
  7. Do the bootleg covers for 2006 make one complete picture?

    Ha! This is my 2006th post.
  8. do you mean putting them one next the other like a sort of mosaic? .. never thought about it
    i don't think anyway
  9. Yeah, that's what I meant. I think some do but others don't...I do think they are interesting pics, however.

    Here's a PJ comment. Back in 1996, when No Code came out, PJ were still huge even though grunge going out of style. I've always thought "Who You Are" was not the best choice for a lead single...kind of killed their momentum a little bit. Maybe should have been somehting like "In My Tree."

    Thoughts?
  10. i find Who you are a very lovely song but probably you're right not the right choice for the first single of the album in terms of "market penetration" (what is the common purpose of a lead single), but i don't think In my tree could be a better one even if it's the best song of the album; not an "easy" song though.
    probably for the purpose of a lead single it would have been better to put out Hail hail as first one.
    but they weren't much for the common marketing strategy at that time .. 3 albums without any music videos of any songs for example ...

  11. True. The move to release "Who You Are" was probably not a mistake unlike, say, "Get On Your Boots" was for U2. PJ was probably in a place where they were, for lack of a better word, testing their fan-base to see who was really "with them." I have to admit, they sort of lost me for a short time - at least until Yield was released. I was overseas when I bought Yield and they were giving away No Code with it. It wasn't until then when I really started to appreciate many of the songs on that album. They also opened the show I attended in Auckland with "Sometimes" and "Hail, Hail" which I found really interesting - in a good way.

    They no question lost me, for a bit, with No Code.After I heard the songs live (from No Code) I really liked them though.Sometimes,Red Mosquito,In My Tree,Off He Goes,Smile and Present Tense, are some of my favorite PJ tunes.

    My problem with No Code,Yield and to a lesser extent, Binaural,are the way the songs were recorded.They purposly dulled the sound.Some of the songs even sound like demos.I dont really listen, to the studio versions, of the aforementioned albums.I have LIVE only mixes, of those 3 releases, on my iPod.Try it for a comparison.

    If you listen to Red Mosquito live,(try Praha,06.14.00),then the studio version,its like 2 different songs.The drums,guitars and vocals fly out at you live. Sometimes (05.30.00 London,my gig !!!) was a great opener in 2000.Present Tense, live from Milan,06.22.2000 (my show) IMO,is THE version of this song and maybe their best ever live gig.Seriously,a fantastic gig.Not just because I was there.Given To Fly,live,has so my more energy than the studio version.Of The Girl, live from Milan 2000,just amazing groves from Mike.

    IMO, the songs from No Code and Yeild, are great songs,just way superior live.
