Pearl Jam officially kicked off their 2008 tour yesterday in West Palm Beach, Florida. Local fans pining to see them live will be out of luck since their
11-city tour is East Coast-centric. But take heart: You can watch bootleg footage of the concerts - legally. "Pearl Jam will expand their bootleg program for the upcoming 2008 tour to include three different options for fans seeking to obtain bootleg recordings of the band's live shows." High-quality digital downloads and burn-to-order CDs of the show will be available after each show date via Pearl Jam's fan club,
Ten Club. Mobile bootlegs of three live tracks per show will be also be released on V CAST Music phones and at
www.pearljamconcerts.com through Verizon Wireless. For more details on the program, check out
