Are there any live audio and video of Pearl Jam available commercially?
Officially, only audio songs released as b-sides, the “Dissident” singles, and the album Live on Two Legs. Unofficially, there are tons of live and un-released Pearl Jam available on both CD’s, on tape’s and on videos from stores and traders throughout the world. Don’t pay money for shows though. If you want a special CD that is one thing, but for tapes, just ask around the Internet and you will be able to find a network of traders who will share their “wealth” for mutual benefit. Also, try to refrain from purchasing boot (or import) CD’s. I’m not preaching (I own a couple myself) but Pearl Jam has a very liberal policy about their live music that allows fans to record their shows more or less freely and uninhibited and also allows these tapes to be traded freely. The key word here is “FREELY”. This is a privilege and if people BUY this material from people that sell it, then that privilege will become endangered and potentially taken away. Pearl Jam doesn’t get any money when you buy
