Got my Super Deluxe Ten Re-Issue Today. I Love It! I did not get the autographed copy. Any one get the random autographed edition?

Does anyone know where PJ actually signed the Super Deluxe Boxsets

I got mine today also. Ya think the'll sell 10 million more?

My Good friend got me into PJ. I heard PJ at a Bridge School concert in 2006. They rocked. I was excited to see EV with Jack Iron but it was called off. I was totally bummed but my good friend who is totally a fan told me to get into the wild. I did and loved it. Saw EV in Berkeley last year and fell in love.

Can't wait to see PJ and hope they come to Northern Ca or bridge school.

Been hearing Brother on the radio and can't wait for March 24th. Hope I get a signed copy.

I have to hear some PJ every day and it helps me get thru.

Keep rockin guys!

I love Australia and I love living here but sometimes, it's just too far away. I have been lucky to see the band here a number of times, and each one is like the first, superb! I wish sometimes I could be a bit closer though, I envy you guys that have seen many, many shows. As said by others, there is not a day goes by where I don't hear you play. Thanks heaps. I was 22 when I saw you live for the first time, I'm 36 now and my little girl is listening to Parachutes as I type.

See you back in Brisbane sometime!

when i was young i always listened to my fathers music and he didn't care much for what i listened to but when i bought into the wild and played it in the car on the way home i finally got him to say this isn't half bad ,anyways a week or so gos by and i get into my dad truck and whats he got playing ... my Eddie Vedder CD. it bridges a gap between us and i love it music lyrics and Im glad i have pearl jam in my life.

P.S. i live in London Ont Canada and the show @ the John Labbat Center was the show of my lifetime i hope to see Pearl Jam here again someday thanks

Pearl Jam is such a connection for me to the world...the lyrics, the meanins, and the emotions have all changed me as a person in my young adult life. There is a reason you are my favorite group of musicians and that there is something about you that can't be matched. This band is in touch with it's emotions, it's fans, and it's goal: Making music that makes you appreciate your life. Pearl Jam to me is life, and life is beautiful.

Utah needs Pearl Jam...please come back soon...it's been over 10 years.

Black is one of my all time favorite PJ songs from way back. To me it signifies that people and relationships change. Reality is what once was can never be again if you think about it. That second in time is gone forever. I think we all have moments and experiences we wish we could get back or change. They are gone. We are never what we were but something different now.

Some other kind of reflection for me. Together with the pictures in the movie these sounds made me dream of a free spirit out in nature. Hope, mankind will never destroy such beautiful things.

Amazing soundtrack. It fits the movie very well.
It's beautiful from the beginning to the end.
Ed, thanks! You make music that reaches our heart and soul.

amazing album and 2 amazing shows in massey hall well worth the trip from dublin pure genius

i just wanted to say that the into the wild soundtrack is the best soundtrack i have heard for a movie in quite a while it really encapsulates the mood and feeling of the movie {wich is great too}. so many good songs on this on. rise is my fav

Cannot wait for you to come back to the VanAndel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI. My wife and I love you guys and made it to your last show here. It was just AWESOME! Thanks!

Great album

Eddie, Mike, Stone, Jeff, Matt & Boom.

I'll keep it short and sweet. In May of 2006, I was at a low-point in my life. I was suffering from depression and could barely function. My brother in law, having taking advantage of a last minute block release of tickets, approached me and asked if I wanted to see Pearl Jam. I'll be honest, I initially declined. But my wife encouraged me to get out and enjoy myself. So I went, and the rest is history...

Listen guys, I know you enjoy what you do. Although I'm sure the money's good, I doubt any of you would still be rocking out if you really didn't dig your job. What none of you likely give enough thought to, is the difference you're all making in the lives of so many. Just under 3 years ago, I left the Rogers Centre in Toronto a changed man. You guys inspired me, and continue to inspire me in ways that I can't describe.

None of you are perfect, and I guess that's the appeal. You're regular guys getting together, having a good time, and making the most of what little time we have in this world.

Keep it up you guys.

With Heart-Felt Respect,

A fan from Ontario, Canada

Hey guys,

You all have been apart of my family for a long time. You've lasted longer than many friends and even though you don't know my name I feel through your music and shows a connection. We are unique in that we have been on this long journey together. I screem my lungs out and you all play and sing your hearts out. If i haven't said this before i'm saying it now.....my name is Jim, and thank you.

Hey Fellas,
What can I say about the guys who have been such a fantastic part of my life. I have seen so many concerts and have had such a connection to the music. I've gotten older but every alblum brings me back to my youth and those great memories of the first time I listened to TEN. This will never change and now I have my kids rock'n too just like when my parents use to spin Who records. No matter the times or the situations the music puts me in a place where nothing else matters. For that I am forever greatful. Canada will always welcome the boys with open arms. Come back to the Great White North soon.

Most beautiful and rocking soundtrack in a very long time. His award was well deserved. In fact, I think Eddie deserves more awards. What award would you grant Ed?

It was time that Ed gives us inspiration. Congratulations Ed I already have my CD.

I just want to Thank You Eddie from the bottom of my heart & soul after having to wait 10 years to see you/Pearl Jam for the good tickets you sent my way on your solo tour stop at Spreckles theater. I didn't realize the club would come through on such great seats that would normally be out of my budget as a broke college student. I applaud your taking care of your friends like that:) Ten is still my fav album for all the emotions it channeled in the rough teenage years, and here in my 30's--the guitars still excite like listened to for the first time!
I badly want/look forword to seeing the full Pearl Jam family on tour and can't wait to hear some great new licks by Mike and Jeff! (Would you guys please come play at Humboldt State University?)
Thanks so much for your music being the soundtrack to my LIFE!!!
Keep on rockin it Fellas,
PS-- Eddie, Have you ever thought about doing a solo song set to some Bagpipes? After hearing your solo album(ITW), I know That would be out of this world!! Thanks so much!
Chris

We live near and canyon and love to go hiking this is the perfect music when we are driving out into the canyons.

Amazing! I love you guys! I have been a huge fan for about 15 years. Your music has helped me through a lot over the years. If I'm having a crapy day or just feelin shity then I can listen to you guys and even if it doesn't make me feel better then at least it's a release for me. Or if I'm in a great mood then I can rock out and the day just gets better. Some people think I'm crazy but I really don't give a shit. The best thing is that my son (11yrs old) is learning to play the guitar and is really gettin into your music. Hope to see you guys SOON in 2009! This is going to be a great year, so ready for some change. Thanks for speaking out. Thanks

The Ten Deluxe edition made me think that bands (hint hint) should re-record older songs of theirs, doing alternate versions/ acoustic... And it would definitely rock if PJ released an album of Cover tunes, whether it be studio crisp, a compilation of live recordings, or a mixture of the two. Even if you don't, we'll always love you guys! Thanks for rockin' how you do! Can't wait to see you again!

Dear P.J.your music has carried me for the last 18 years.My son just joined the Army and will be leaving on Feb.3.I will be worried but i know it will work out.When things get tuff put on some PJ and it will take your worrys away for a while!!

This is the best soundtrack ever! the best for doing some running, try some running into the wild, at the dawn , lungs full of air , eddie's voice whispering your ears, it's as perfect as the whole album!

I love you guys so much. You are a part of my everyday life, i could not have it any other way!! Everything you guys come out with, it never ceases to amaze me. Eddie is the most amazing vocalist ever, his voice mezmerises me everytime. Keep it up guys and PLEASE come back to Texas!!!! Rockin' on....

I listen to PJ's Music every single day since their beginning... Cannot live without it. Your music is in my heart and will always be. I have just bought the Re-Issue Deluxe Edition, could not miss that. Hey guys, please send me one that will be signed by you... Come back to France soon, we need good music here.
Thank you for all you have done for me, for all of us. I do sincerely hope you will keep in giving us so many emotions for a long long time... Take care.

I just recently saw into the wild and from the moment I heard the first song...I said to myself! THAT'S EDDIE VEDDER! Man why did I not know about this? this is Great! I watched the movie and everytime I heard another song...I was like wow! Another Great song! I liked the music better then the movie for obvious reasons! Anyway Ill be buying the album! Me and my friend have been long time fans! we used to see Pearl Jam at the alpine Valley every year in WI. Anyway I joined 10 club today. I will get this soundtrack today. Pearl Jam has not been going to Apline anymore? (Come on man! you gotta go back! your leaving us hanging!) (I even went to the tibiten freedom concert you played over there just because Eddie was playing solo that time) Anyway Pearl Jam get back to Alpine or Chicago...we miss you guys!

The best music in the world, everytime brings me a lot of great emotions

amazing live performances, makes me wanna attend to all their shows

only missing a album, the unplugged show in 1992 in NY

It's just great when Eddie sings this song.. there's something in his voice that shakes your whole body your whole soul

Great songs that sound big. Awesome shows in Toronto and Montreal, great interaction with the crowd and way to choose a bitchin' opening act... Liam rocked!

This is the most amazing collection of songs that will make your day a great one! I can't listen to it without getting a "feel good" vibe and be on top of the world!
Thanks Eddie.
