Pearl Jam have announced that they have an imminent ‘spooky’ announcement, but it’s unfortunately not their new album. Pearl Jam’s rumored North American 2020 stadium tour debut was revealed a couple of days ago.
“Something spooky is in the works… 🎃👻 (Hint: It’s not a new album or tour!)”
pearljammr78 responded on the Ten Club board with his theory, “I have come to the conclusion that I am completely not interested in concert dvds. Touring band 2000 was great. Garden was ok. Showbox was awesome because of Daughter. Single video theory, PJ20 were great for the documentary style. Like Let’s Play Two but still haven’t watched the whole thing.
A concert is special being there. On TV. Not so much. I hope it’s a concert movie so I don’t have to spend my money on something I will never watch.
Halloween shirt or poster. I’m in all the way. Love Halloween. Got married on Halloween in 2009. Same night as last Spectrum show.”
A major Pearl Jam tour announcement rumor surfaced last week. Sandy Ravage wrote, “Heres my guess. Doesn’t Nugs do archival video releases? This announcement is too big for a ’10th of the month,’ but also seems to be using the same PJ ‘we are about to release some limited edition merch’ marketing formula they’ve been using now.
This makes me think they are partnering with nugs to do something interesting like this, starting with the ‘spooky’ halloween shows from the Spectrum. I don’t know if you guys pay attention to PJ Radio, but it seems like every-time they release a show on some new format, they put songs from said show into heavy rotation. This happened before Lets Play 2 was announced.
Same with ToTD remaster. Etc etc. I cant be on PJ radio in my car for an HOUR any more without an excerpt from an 09 Spectrum show popping up. I can see this leading to a nugs deal that lets them put all their old releases (LP2, TB2000, Cornice etc, etc) on nugs, as well as offer new releases like this one?
As for the VHS tape, it could be a nod to the DAT tapes of old that would save old concert footage. I believe the data was stored to a VHS tape? This could be done for recordings/video rips. I dunno, its a stretch but why the hell else have a VHS in the video? Other than that, would it be a re release of Single Video Theory? Can’t really see a need for that.” A Pearl Jam double album rumor was recently revealed.
