Both the limited edition and standard album features an exclusive Ebridge which gives fans nearly five hours of additional audio. This exclusive giveaway marks the first-time an artist has allowed fans to access their live music vault while purchasing a new album.
The live concert audio can be accessed by inserting the new Backspacer album into a personal computer or by clicking the link provided by iTunes and Getmusic.com.au with the album purchase.
The gigs available for download with the purchase of Backspacer are Halifax (22/09/05), Philadelphia (03/10/05), Santiago (21/11/05), Chicago (17/05/06), Grand Rapids (19/05/06), Camden (28/05/06), E Rutherford (06/03/06), San Francisco (16/07/06), New York (25/06/06), Hartford (27/06/08) and Mansfield (28/06/08).
The band will be able to update the content at any time – meaning fans may have access to more bonus features in the future.
Previously Pearl Jam announced that they would be back for the first in three years to play a series of outdoor shows across Australia in November.
