Pearl Jam: Ресми тіркелген концерттік альбомдар сериясы

Ongoing live album series by Pearl Jam

See full list in :Category:Pearl Jam Official Bootlegs. The Pearl Jam "official" bootlegs are a large, continually growing series of live albums by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam noted the desire of fans to own a copy of the shows they attended and the popularity of bootleg recordings. They had been open in the past about allowing fans to make amateur recordings, and these "official bootlegs" were an attempt to provide a more affordable and better quality product. The official bootlegs are a complete record of almost every show the band plays, excluding club "warm up" dates. "The Official Bootlegs series is them working outside the system That's revolutionary. They're geniuses, I'm telling you I've spent way too much money on Official Bootlegs, but the [2010] Hyde Park show when we supported them is my favourite, mainly because Eddie [Vedder, singer] dedicates 'State of Love and Trust' to me Pearl Jam are good enough to justify that many bootlegs. They vary their set pretty extremely from night to night You get different versions of songs, compare them, see how a tour went. Maybe it started off a little rough and it got awesome in the end." – Brian Fallon, singer, The Gaslight Anthem

The band has sold more than 13.5 million copies of shows since launching the bootleg series in 2000.

Pearl Jam's official bootleg program was begun for the band's 2000 Binaural Tour. 72 of the "bootlegs" were released to stores in three waves in late 2000 and early 2001, with the 25 European bootlegs coming first. Every show was released in a cardboard sleeve containing two CDs, with the exception of the 72nd and final show on the tour, November 6, 2000, at KeyArena in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle show was released as a triple disc set, and was the highest charting of the series, peaking at number 98 on the Billboard 200, and was called an "essential live document" by Allmusic. Eighteen shows from the tour were chosen by the band as "Ape/Man" shows, which, according to bassist Jeff Ament, were shows the band found "really exciting." With the release of these official bootlegs, Pearl Jam would set a record for most albums to debut in the Billboard 200 at the same time.

The CDs continued for the 2003 Riot Act Tour, but they were not available in stores at first. They had to be ordered through the band's official website, and were mailed out. The bootlegs were made available within a week of each show date. After each leg of the tour, however, certain standout shows were released in stores: February 23, 2003, in Perth, Australia; March 3, 2003, in Tokyo, Japan; May 3, 2003, in State College, Pennsylvania; July 8, 2003, and July 9, 2003, in New York City; and July 11, 2003, in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The State College show was a three hour, triple disc show, which vocalist Eddie Vedder vowed to make "the longest Pearl Jam show ever played." It was surpassed by the Mansfield show, from the Tweeter Center Boston, in which the band played 45 songs, including an acoustic set. The New York shows, from Madison Square Garden, were released both separately and as a boxed set. The July 8, 2003 show was also released as the Live at the Garden DVD. In 2004, Pearl Jam released Live at Benaroya Hall, and while it came in similar packaging to the bootlegs, it is not considered to be part of the series.

Official bootlegs for the band's 2012 Tour were available through the band's official website in MP3, FLAC, 24 bit/96 kHz FLAC formats, as well as physical compact discs. The CD orders are fulfilled by nugs. net. In addition, ALAC and 24 bit/96 kHz ALAC formats are available on the nugs. net website.

Pearl Jam took a break from touring throughout 2019 to record their 11th studio album Gigaton. The band planned to tour throughout 2020 in support of the new album but the tour was postponed to 2022 due to the COVID 19 Pandemic.
