Given To Cast 2006 Christmas Show

Hey guys, Well, I thought I would post the Christmas Podcast from 2006 because I just haven't found the time to do a new one. My New Year's Resolution is to start putting a little time aside for the podcast. I feel like I am not giving it the attention it needs. So I pledge to do better. With that, I will end the year with a contest for you listeners. You have to listen to the podcast to find the answer. Here's the question: What does the little girl ask Santa for Christmas??? All correct answers will go into a hat and I will pick one name as winner of a copy of Pearl Jam's VS CD... Good luck!! Given to Cast 2006 Christmas Show

Pearl Jam Tour Announcement this coming week

Looks like the guys are continuing to keep hitting the road in 2012. Sea from The Ten Club forums posted this yesterday:

A little birdie tweeted us to say "we should have our Ten Club memberships & addresses up to date by the 5th of December." Then he flew away tweeting something that we thought sounded like, "Cheerio, Auf Wiedersehen, Farvel…"

People are interpreting this post to mean that the guys will be heading to Europe once again. England, Germany, Denmark.. It seems they may announce the tour dates sometime after Dec.5. Check back here for full list of dates when they become available...

Pearl Jam Twenty Soundtrack hits the charts this week

Pearl Jam Twenty Soundtrack has debuted at #1 on the Hard Rock Albums Charts. It also debuted at #1 on Alternative Album Charts, #10 on Billboard 200, #2 Top Rock Album, #20 Digital Album and #12 on Canadian Album Charts.

UPDATE: Pearl Jam Twenty at No. 1 at the box office this weekend... kinda!!!

I know that we as dedicated Pearl Jam fans don't care what the movie made in terms of box office receipts but I think it is a very good indicator of the popularity of the movie, given that it was only released, domestically in less than 99 theaters... Using that as a gauge and knowing that in most of those theaters there were only two or three showings in one day, the movie made $280,343, according to Boxoffice.com UPDATE: I know what you are saying about the title of this post... Lion King 3D was #1.... that's true but...This weekend, PEARL JAM TWENTY was Number 1 in Platform theaters of 99 or less.... It was only shown in 9 theaters this weekend (Sept. 23 - 25) and it avg. $9,946 for a total of $89,514 for THREE DAYS on NINE screens. So, yes Pearl Jam Twenty is Number 1(Sept. 23-25 in catagory of movies showing on 99 screens or less). Kinda of misleading I agree.... but true. Note: these numbers do not reflect the sales of PPV viewings this weekend...

SPOILER ALERT!!! Fan Club Single and Deep Magazine are out!!

Hey guys, Just got a hold of pictures of the NEW fan club single and the cover of the latest DEEP mag as well.... Don't wanna see them tell it reaches you, then turn a way now.... all pictures are by half empty of Pearl Jam Forum

Pearl Jam Announces their SECOND ANNUAL TEN CLUB ROCK N' ART POSTER CONVENTION

This was released by Alpine Valley Music Theatre. There is one mistake I found. It states that this will be "The only 2011 live concerts by Pearl Jam". That isn't true because they are playing in Canada and South and Central America. They may have meant only American dates in 2011. But anyway, here it is in its entirety:



Part of the Pearl Jam Labor Day Weekened Concert Celebration

This Saturday and Sunday at Alpine Valley Music Theatre



In addition to live music by Pearl Jam, The Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, Mudhoney, and more, plus other special surprises, Pearl Jam fans will have the ability to check out some of the most creative poster art in the country at the Second Annual Ten Club Rock N’ Art Poster Convention, onsite at the Pearl Jam Labor Day Weekend Concert Celebration at Alpine Valley this Saturday and Sunday.



Onsite poster artists at the convention are the Ames Bros./Barry Ament & Coby Schultz (amesbros.com), Brad Klausen (www.artillerydesigns.com), Brian Methe, Jermaine Rogers (www.jermainerogers.com), Justin Hampton (www.justinhampton.com), Mark 5 (www.studiomark5.com), Munk One (munkone.com), and Maxx242 (f4dstudios.com). And, to celebrate Pearl Jam’s twentieth anniversary in their own unique fashion, both Munk One and Maxx242 will be painting not to canvas, but to billboards.



2011 is a yearlong celebration of Pearl Jam’s twenty-year history. The band started off the year with the release of a new live compilation album, Live on Ten Legs, followed by the expanded reissues of Vs. and Vitalogy in March. Things kick into high gear in September with the Alpine Valley Labor Day anniversary weekend concert, followed by the release of Cameron Crowe’s film, Pearl Jam Twenty, with accompanying book and soundtrack album. For the latest Pearl Jam happenings, visit www.pearljam.com.



Limited tickets are still available for these very special once-in-a-lifetime concert events, featuring: The only 2011 live concerts by Pearl Jam, plus guests The Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, Mudhoney, John Doe, Joseph Arthur, Glen Hansard, Liam Finn, The New No2, David Garza, Star Anna, The Young Evils, and Jason Lytle; the second annual Ten Club Rock N’ Art Poster Convention; plus many more surprises that are available to all fans with the purchase of just a general admission lawn ticket.

PJ20 Stage setup concept art

Hey guys,

I was visiting Alpine Valley's facebook page and they have posted what the stage setup MIGHT look like . Check it out below. Remember, this is hasn't been confirmed as the final setup. Just thought I'd post it so that you can visit their Facebook page and voice your opinion. I personally think that it is not a good a idea unless they make a center stage for the last four acts... I don't think I would mind looking left to right for all the other bands but not for Pearl Jam. I think that would definately take away for the experience. Please voice you opinons to them if you agree.
