    Give Way - The Record Store Day Release We've All Been Waiting For!


    Pearl Jam announced today that, in celebration of Yield's 25th Anniversary, they will finally be releasing "Give Way," a promotional CD from a promotion that never happened.

    To celebrate the release of Single Video Theory, Best Buys around the country were poised to give away copies of the CD recorded in Australia during the Yield Tour, but due to some corporate bullshit, 50,000 copies were set to be destroyed, leaving only about 300 copies floating around.

    This April 22nd, Pearl Jam will be making "Give Way" available on a double LP (15,500 copies) and CD (4,000 copies).  The promo includes 17 songs from the March 5, 1998, and though the audio quality is said to be quite good, it does leave off 10 songs.

    Here's a setlist with the missing songs grayed out.

    1. Release
    2. Brain of J
    3. Animal
    4. Faithfull
    5. In My Tree

    Pearl Jam March Madness Has Begun!


    Is it time for the elite Pearl Jam fans among us to start our annual competition to name THE best Pearl Jam song.  We start, this week, with 204 songs and through a Survivor-style elimination game, we'll whittle it down to the top 32 Pearl Jam songs.  From there, it's song-vs.-song until a champion is crowned.

    It's February now, and this might go until April, but March Madness is about the best song and never about the calendar.

    Go Pearl Jam!
