    10/28/98 - Minute By Minute...

    We've received some questions about the length of Pearl Jam's upcoming live album and to answer those: At 73 minutes, Live On Two Legs is the longest album Pearl Jam has done to date. They wanted to do a double CD but there just wasn't quite enough time so instead, they "jam" packed all that would fit onto the single CD which made for the double-vinyl album. Added note: it'll also be available on mini-disc. (Hit the link above to see the cover art.)

    10/26/98 - Habit...

    These updates are becoming a habit! :) The mastering for Pearl Jam's live album was completed today and we've received confirmation on the track listing. "Live On Two Legs" will feature the following 16 songs: corduroy, given to fly, hail hail, daughter, elderly woman..., untitled, mfc, go, red mosquito, even flow, off he goes, nothingman, do the evolution, better man, black, and f*ckin' up written by neil young. the double vinyl, single cd album will be released on november 24th.

Entitled "Live On Two Legs," it'll feature music from 1998's kick-ass yield tour! look for the u.s. release on november 24th on single cd, double vinyl and single cassette formats. a pleasant surprise is that it'll have a bit of previously unreleased music but they weren't quite ready to release the track list. when they are, we'll post it for you. finally, no radio single or in-store single is planned at this time.

    Update on Mike's Side Project...

    We're happy to pass along that sharing vocals on The Rockfords 1999 release will be the legendary Nancy Wilson of Heart and The Lovemongers! The Rockfords personnel includes: Mike McCready on lead guitar, Chris Friel (Goodness) on drums, Danny Newcomb (Goodness) on guitar, Rick Friel (Shadow/Give) on bass and Carrie Akre (Goodness) on vocals completes the picture. Next year's looking better and better all the time.

    Answering New Rumors: There is no video in the works for Pilate and no Temple of the Dog album is planned.

    That's it for now!
