#2, GIVE WAY
Speaking of "Vault" shows ... the "reissues" of the "never before released" Best Buy promotional live album, Give Way, left us asking two questions. "Why wasn't this a Vault release?." And "Is it because there are nine songs missing?"
We speculated yesterday whether a drunk monkey may be running the Vault program, but honestly, sometimes recordings are hard to recover and this release was tied up in all sorts of corporate red tape.
So, when Pearl Jam announced we'd be getting this legitimate rarity on Record Store Day, most of us just cheered. This album was such a myth for years, with copies being stolen and sold for hundreds of dollars. This year, we all got a chance to get our hands of a well-mixed copy, and wow, does it sound good.
If you haven't picked up a copy, there are almost certainly some CDs at your local record store. Go grab it and give a listen right now!
