PEARL JAM

[_Si_]

Im hoping Pearl Jam will play their version of Baba O'Riley

[Olivavu]

I'm scared.

I had a dream about Pearl Jam last night.

Me and Ollie were at some random small festival watching PJ and afterwards had a nice chat with the band, then the bass player gave Ollie his guitar. All very odd.......

Releasing cd's for fans of good quality and giving proceeds to charity...yet more hard-sell marketing from Pearl Jam, huh?

What charities and what percentage of the profits?

One thing that intrigues me is, people will actually watch Maximo Park whilst Pearl Jam are playing, i just dont understand it!

Same with at download, whilst Tool were on, i knew some people would be watching the all american rejects.....i guess some people are just weird.

[pinback]

Not sure on exact %age.

Nope, some people just find Pearl Jam about as exciting as a damp bathtowel. Otherwise they'd shut all the stages down at 9pm.

"A portion" of the sales of only one of the many CDs (the October 22nd, 2003 one), as far as I can see.

Just got round to reading the PJ "Cash For Questions" in Q mag. Christ, even Richard and Judy's was less boring.

I'll be watching Animal Collective.

[Olivavu]

So just a token then, eh? Maybe it dulled the guilt somewhat

How does it compare to Noel Edmonds' one? He called Mike Reid a 'w*nker' if a recall.

[Cultseeker]

Yeah, cause Pearl Jam don't anything for good causes...

[Olivavu]

They're off again.

It appears that they do a lot for good causes, but that only extends to what we were actually talking about if your definition of good causes includes a beachhouse for Mr. Vedder.

Haven't Pearl Jam donated money and worked with environmental charities to offset the damage of their current tour? Seems like a good cause to me...........

A "a portion" of approx. 1/72nd of the profits made from something that plenty of bands have done for free (at the same quality) given to charity doesn't quite disguise the fact that PJ's "official bootlegs" are a shameless profiteering exercise with a facade of "we're doing this for the good of the people wooooo!". It's OK, you can admit it, they probably aren't reading!

You really do have a poor and cynical grasp of this bands ethics.

I like it that you didn't give any credence to my point from the ouset of this tired point.
