2010 Bridge School Benefit
  

This is audience recording of both 2010 Bridge School Benefit acoustic Pearl Jam sets. Pearl Jam continued their last years trend to perform never played live obscure songs (sometimes in "OTO" format, which Ed explained as: "one time only"). This time it was Other Side, an outtake from Riot Act, and Santa Cruz, a song from 2008 holiday single. Also Pearl Jam gifted us with more new covers. Sound quality is very good.

October 23, 2010, Mountain View, CA, Bridge School Benefit
Set List: Last Kiss (Wayne Cochran), Unthought Known, Santa Cruz, Nothingman, Dancing Barefoot (Patti Smith, Ivan Krall), Better Man, Walk With Me (with Neil Young) (Neil Young), Just Breathe w/strings,Black w/strings

1990 First Week Rehearsal Demo

This is the earliest known studio record of Pearl Jam (that time as Mookie Blaylock) with Eddie Vedder on vocals. In 2002 a cassette dated "10/23" surfaced in trading circles and included all of the songs previously thought to have been sourced from a cassette dated "10/13." The general consensus is that both tapes have the same recordings of the songs, but pinning a date on the session is a mystery. Whether the songs on the tapes are the recordings from Potato Head Basement rehearsals or are from a professional studio session is unknown. Most of the songs are multi-tracked and contain overdubs so it's more likely they were professionally recorded in a studio rather than being recorded live at a rehearsal, but no information is known for sure. Many people believe the recordings on the above-mentioned tapes could have been made anywhere between October 8 and October 22, 1990, right before the first show at Off Ramp Cafe. It's known that Ed took the copy of the results of recording sessions after he returned back to San Diego in late October. And there he dubbed tapes for his friends and also added some extra material. So the recording of 'Weird A' is rumored to have come probably from a different session. Probably, it was added by Ed to the tape later in San Diego, as he was dubbing tapes to give them to his friends. 'Daddy Could Swear' also seems to be added later by Ed from his own demos (possibly from his between Bad Radio and Mookie Blaylock 1990 project Indian Style).

1990 Gossman Project

This is an early compilation of all instrumental demos from "pre-historic" Pearl Jam. It's supposed, they were recorded at different sessions throughout August 1990. Eddie Vedder was still surfing at San Diego gas station. And no drummer hired yet. Matt Cameron (from Soundgarden that time) was only present for two or three days, another drummer was Chris Friel. Sadly, I could find only low quality record (128 kbps).

1. The King  (Even Flow demo)
2. Dollar Short  (Alive demo)
3. Richard's E  (Alone demo)
4. E Ballad  (Black demo)
5. Wreck Of Edmund Fitzgerald
6. Weird A  (Animal demo)
7. 7 Up  (Pushin Forward Back demo)
8. Doobie E  (Breath demo)
9. Agytian Crave  (Once demo)
10. Times Of Trouble  (Footsteps demo)
11. Evil E  (Just A Girl demo)
12. Folk D  (never become a song)

1989 Bad Radio - One Step Up (bootleg)

Bad Radio was the first Eddie Vedder's band. He was a vocalist and songwriter for them from 1988 to 1990.  One of his Bad Radio songs - Better Man - Ed re-recorded and released with Pearl Jam. Part of another song - Believe You Me - he performed during his 2009 solo tour.

This is an old fan's bootleg. I think, it contains all known Bad Radio songs with Eddie Vedder on vocals. One Step Up is Bruce Springsteen's song. Once Ed called Bruce and asked for permission to cover his song, but famous rocker did not allow to do it. So Ed home-recorded this song illegally, but the tape was stolen and now we are all happy to listen to this wonderful cover.
