A letter from Ed
Hey fellow Humans……
Not only is the single late, the letter ABOUT the single is late….was written a few moons ago….Vedder late than never…..
Dec. 20th
~Letter~
Dear Kind Listeners……
"It is mid-December here in Seattle (and most places I imagine), and I find myself compelled to reach out and offer a few words to those of you who have generously supported us over the years...
Specifically, we felt the need to let you know that the Christmas Single has been recorded(!) Earth shaking news, we know. Goodness gracious…. But truly it is something we take pride in and both sides have turned out pretty cool… However, we also like the idea that you would all receive the Christmas Single by Christmas…Perhaps this is based on the fact that it’s called the CHRISTMAS Single...
Aahh well….it’s taking longer to make vinyl records these days…. We are currently snowed in as the weather has turned extreme, bordering on the bizarre…and we’ve been hammering away on some NEW STUFF that understandably took priority...
So please accept an apology, as it’s delivered with respect. If it helps to accept it, we can say with some bias, that these songs are gonna be cool even if they don’t arrive until Valentine’s Day…or Saint Patrick’s Day…4th of July?..."
Cick here to read the whole letter.

Mail from the 10C , Sept. 09,2008 "Jeff Ament Tone CD is shipping today!! Look for Jeff Ament Tone Bass Pics randomly inserted in a limited number of orders, complements of Jeff! Enjoy, 10c" Wow... look at that! One of Jeff's pick actually found it's way to Switzerland. Thanks Jeff :) For more information about Jeff Ament's 'Tone', please visit pearljam.com/jeffament. |
Mystery-Poster-Sale 2008
|
Nice, isn't it? The Poster-Fairy was good to me and brought me the Katowice 2007 Poster. It suits perfectly next to my Munic 2007 Poster. Thanks 10C, until the next Mystery Sale ;-) |
2008 Bootleg Series
The 2008 Bootleg Series started! You can download the shows at http://pearljam.com/goods/bootlegs.php. You can also download some neat artwork (banners + stuff) from the bootleg page. Check it out!
Can't wait to see Pearl Jam back in Europe. btw, have you had a change to have a look at the Deep3-Poster-Contest entries? Any winner yet? :)
pearljam.com about the bootlegs:
"Powered by Internap (INAP), Pearl Jam's digital bootlegs are high-resolution digital files released without DRM (Digital Rights Management) so that fans can burn them to disc, transfer to them to MP3 players, or play them from their hard drives.
In addition to digital bootlegs, Pearl Jam is launching a new physical CD program for this tour. CDs will be manufactured according to customer demand and will ship within three weeks of each show date. CDs will be made-to-order using recycled material. The price for hard copy bootlegs is $16.99/show and will be available exclusively through www.pearljam.com.
Both the mobile and new burn-to-order CD options are an extension of Pearl Jam’s official bootleg CD program, which was initially launched on the band’s 2000 world tour in an effort to provide fans with high-quality, affordable bootlegs of their lives shows. Since the program’s inception, over 3.5 million bootlegs have been sold."

Deep3 - The Waiting
It's been four months now since the deadline for the Deep3-Poster-Contest has expired... and still no sign of a winner yet :)
I guess we have to wait for the next Deep-Magazin... since it's coming out twice a year, the next issue shouldn't be too far away. Let's hope for the best ;-)
"The waiting drove me mad..." - Corduroy
Congratulations, Eddie!
"Guaranteed", his contribution to the Sean Penn Move "Into The Wild" won a Golden Globe! It was his first career Golden Globe win, though Pearl Jam was nominated in 2003 for their contribution to Tim Burton's Big Fish soundtrack (Man of the Hour).
Here it is!!! After about four to five weeks of 'loosing creativity' and 'fighting with photoshop' I had to send in my contribution to the Deep3-Poster-Contest from 10C. It's rights what they say... you're never finished, you just stop working on it :)
|
So, please keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck. Feel free to mail me your thoughts, all comments appreciated. To get the orginal-resolution-picture (3300x5100px), please provide here your email-address. The link to the picture will be sent out to you immediately. Due to someone on forums.pearlam.com using the poster as a wallpaper, I decided to resize the poster and make a backgroud out of it. Here it is, enjoy :)

What an amazing night that was! An unbelievable setlist and once again an atmosphere, a feeling that only Pearl Jam is able to create.
A friend of mine joined me for the gig. He's not that of an PJ-addict but to see the smile on his face after the gig was over was amazing. I still get goosebumps thinking back to Baba O'Riley, the closer of the show, when the Olympiahalle was 'enlighted' and everybody around was standing, shouting and smiling.
I guess there's nothing more to say than THANK YOU, PEARL JAM!

Check out this nicely written (and very long.. ;-) ) review by 'the alien' (german): 13.09.2006 Pearl Jam @ Bern Arena
The Day After ...
What a great show... I've been to a lot of concerts, but this one was something different! The setlist was great, although i missed some of my favorites (Black, Indifference, Baba O'Riley, Wishlist, Last Kiss ... i could go on and on, but even at a four-hour-show, their wouldn't be enough time to play them all ...), but over all an amazing experience. The crowd was great + loud as hell ;-)! Thanks Pearl Jam and everyone who was there and made this night unforgettable!
