Vault #29

Post by trickster »

Image
On June 9th, 2016, Third Man Records was humbled to welcome Pearl Jam for a performance in our Nashville Blue Room live venue. Kept secret until the absolute last moment, the crowd of only 250 included lucky Ten Club members, mayors, NBA superstars, country music royalty, and possibly even a few stowaways. To call it a "warm-up” for their headlining set at Bonnaroo two nights later would be to vastly undervalue the evening. The band tore through a clutch collection of songs that spanned both deep cuts and fan favorites. A classic like “Deep” from Ten sits comfortably next to “Life Wasted” from their self-titled album Pearl Jam, and set-closer “Let Me Sleep” was originally recorded in 1990 (and was the band’s first-ever Ten Club release). The highlight of the performance came when Pearl Jam invited Jack White and his guitar to the stage to join on a song that clocked in at over seven minutes and featured wild dueling solos between White and Mike McCready, this epic performance left every mouth in the audience agape and every face on stage all smiles. Those seven minutes were truly some of the most memorable and historic in seven years since the Blue Room opened its doors.

All this said, it should come as no surprise that this performance is the centerpiece of Third Man’s 29th Vault package: a black-and-gold, split-colored vinyl version of Pearl Jam’s set, recorded live direct-to-acetate and packaged in a stunning custom jacket, all soft touch coating and gilded gold metallic ink. While split-colors are normally only made available to attendees of the show, the opportunity to share this once-in-a-lifetime performance with the wide-reaching TMR and PJ world’s was too good to pass up

The following afternoon Eddie Vedder entered Third Man Records’ Voice-o-Graph recording booth and performed an arresting, solo acoustic song. Housed in a custom TMR Record Booth sleeve and pressed on clear transparent vinyl (just like the original) this disc captures a poignant moment for Vedder, and marks the event of yet another musical legend making exceptional use of the Third Man Recording Booth.

Third Man’s accomplished in-house photographer Jamie Goodsell documented the entirety of the evening’s events on his trusty SLR camera. These images have been compiled into a timeless photo book. This embossed, fabric-wrapped, 9” x 6” hardcover photo collection gives the viewer the ability to look behind the curtain, both into Pearl Jam and Third Man's worlds on a special night for both parties.

Rounding out Vault Package #29 are a 1” round metal lapel pin utilizing the custom Pearl Jam/Third Man mashup logo (printed onto silk-screened posters and complimentary beer koozies used that fateful night) in addition to a 3” circular patch of the same design, featuring gold thread and just begging to be sewn onto your motorcycle leather, denim vest, varsity jacket, backpack, wedding gown, pillowcase, coffin lining, underwear, etc, etc...

Subscribe early, subscribe often — Just make sure you subscribe by July 31st, the official deadline.

Non-Ten Club members can sign up for a Platinum Vault Subscription through the usual process here.

I usually prefer for TMR to do things that are completely unexpected, but Vault 28 and now Vault 29 are wonderful exceptions to that rule.

I've never ordered multiples of a vault package before, but I think I'll probably end up with at least three of these. For those of you with multiples, do you just use separate e-mail addresses? Thanks for any help with this.

1x12" record, 1x6" record, a photobook, a pin and a patch = $80
This doesn't seem to be a great deal for me as an International member

Depends on what value you place on the music that's on that 1x12" record and 1x6" record, doesn't it? If all you're estimating the value of is the stuff that can be weighed on a scale at the post office then, nope, not much of a deal.

This is only the 2nd time I've been "meh" about a Vault release. But that's not bad. 2 out of 29, that's a good track record. Pearl Jam fans, enjoy!

$15 off for 10C members is a nice touch.

And yet someone over in Vault comments is bitching that it's unfair to us. It's something special for 10C fans, for crying out loud, let them enjoy it and get over it, you whiny entitled baby. (The guy in the Vault, not you, Bergkamp10)

Which is the other one? There have been a few that were "meh", or more just not for me I guess. Especially for close to $100 after exchange rates and such. Listening to 28 now and it's an absolute gem so far. Scared to put on sides C+D....

What's this magical $15 discount? I'm in the 10c....

Why do 10c get a discount? I am a vault member for 28 trimesters and I want a $15 too.

Well, aside from being a nice treat for people who are huge fans of Pearl Jam and likely to be more excited about this package than non-PJ-loving TMR fans, it's also a great way to entice some people not familiar with the Vault to subscribe. Little bit something special, little bit marketing. Why do we always have to get everything?
