Pearl Jam - Give Way



Pearl Jam
Give Way - Official Promotional Live Album - 1998



Give Way is a promotional live CD created for the release of Single Video Theory. It contains 17 tracks (70 minutes) of their preformance from Melbourne, Australia on March 5th, 1998 & included an 8 page booklet. It was intended to be given away for free to the first customers purchasing the video from Best Buy stores. The day before the release, the CD’s were recalled and destroyed by Sony. Supposedly this promotion was not properly cleared with the label and/or the band. Best Buy had run a full page add about the release in it’s Sunday circular and when fans lined up at the doors to get their free CD, Best Buy was forced to give away any CD of choice for free with purchase of Single Video Theory. Of the 50,000 CD’s pressed, only 2 or 3 have ever surfaced. The rest were destroyed and it is rumored Best Buy was threatened with a $10,000 fine for each unreturned disc.

This cd has been professionally mixed / mastered & although it's not the complete show the audio quality is far superior to any other source available including the pre-fm Sony promo.
