Pearl Jam - Self Pollution (rare 4 hour radio broadcast) *Free Download*

EDIT:  April 6th 2011:

To everyone who has linked on the various Pearl Jam forums, I wanted to say thank you.   I've seen a surge in web visits from pearljam.com and some other PJ related forums.  I'm so happy to see this get out there to the fans.  So many fans have searched for this, and I know I searched for years to replace the cassettes I had recorded the radio show on in vain, until I found someone who was kind enough to send me copies.


Therefore I want everyone to have this for free!  Never buy this from greedy bootleggers.  Real fans of Pearl Jam should be able to hear this for free, like Eddie and the gang intended when they aired it for free on the radio years back.


Continue spreading the link to the blog around.  All I ask is you include the link to the actual blog post, and not just take the DL link by itself.  


Much thanks once again.

================================

Back in January of 1995, Eddie Vedder, lead singer of the Seattle Washington rock band Pearl Jam, broadcast live from his basement over the radio. He would sit and talk with his friends, play records of bands he liked, and when he wasn't doing that, he'd had some of his local band friends stop in and jam live. Bands such as The Gits, The Fastbacks, Mudhoney and Soundgarden stopped in and played some of their songs.

And so it went for four hours broadcast free to any radio station that wanted to carry it. I first came across a bootleg cd of this broadcast when I lived in Charlottesville Virginia back in '97. I loved how spontaneous it feels. There's really nothing "professional" about it. It's simply Eddie and some of his friends goofing around, such as Eddie playing his and (then) girlfriend Beth's Holiday themed answering machine message.

It's a very cool recording, and here you have the entire recording for your enjoyment. Feel free to post up your thoughts about this radio broadcast in the comments below. I'm interested to see what you think about it.
