What was the reasoning behind the release of these official bootlegs? The band wanted to give something back to their fans. Many Pearl Jam fans have been paying outrageous prices for live bootleg recordings. With this unprecedented release the band wanted fans to have the opportunity to own high quality recordings of the live Pearl Jam experience at a reasonable cost.  Some were skeptical that the idea of releasing so many CDs at one time would payoff. They took the gamble and won. "The sales on the Pearl Jam Bootlegs far exceeded our expectations. " Said LJ Hayden the National Marketing Manager for Virgin Entertainment Group, " Some thought we were taking a risk by bringing in all of the titles,  but the quality of these releases proved it was the right decision. "
