January 28, 2003 Pearl Jam to Release Official Bootlegs for 2003 Riot Act World Tour
All Bootlegs Will Be Limited Edition and Available Within A Week of Each Show Date
Free Downloads Will Be Available The Night of Each Show
Pearl Jam announced today that they will release an official bootleg of each show on their 2003 Riot Act world tour (tour dates below). Each bootleg will be a limited edition, double disc CD set. Unlike the 2000 bootleg series, the 2003 bootlegs will not be available in stores. Currently, the band plans to make them available only at the following URL addresses:
pearljam.com
tenclub.net
pearljambootlegs.com
Bootlegs will be sold for $12.98 to Ten Club Members and for $14.98 to non Ten Club members.
Those who order an official bootleg prior to the show-date can expect it to be shipped within 2-3 days. Rush shipment options will be available.
Additionally, anyone who orders an official bootleg will be able to download at no additional cost an mp3 of that show within hours of the showís real-time completion. "We wanted to provide fans with a souvenir of the show they experienced immediately following the show. This comes pretty close," says Tim Bierman, Pearl Jam’s 10-club manager.
Bootlegs can be pre-ordered now for Pearl Jamís Australian and Asian tours, which kick off in Brisbane on February 8 and in Sendai on March 1, respectively.
Pearl Jam originally conceived of the bootleg series as an effort to "bootleg the bootleggers" by making available for sale less expensive, higher quality recordings of all of their live shows.
