When you’re a band as big as Pearl Jam, you can’t quite pick up the phone and thank your fans for their support. Furthermore, you can’t send them personalized packages with high-quality digital downloads and bootlegs from live shows. But rather than accepting the distance between themselves and their fans, Pearl Jam has gone the extra mile and found a way to connect with their aficionados by teaming up with Internap Network Services Corporation.

Internap’s Content Delivery Network (CDN) makes it possible to do what seems impossible-to actually get those high-quality digital downloads and re-mastered bootlegs straight from the latest Pearl Jam shows to the computer of any interested fan. Internap’s reliability has kept Pearl Jam coming back for years, but their utilization of its CDN program is a recent and beneficial addition. The web company not only possesses an intense expertise in engineering, but also extensive network services geared towards opening a strong and fluid communication between dedicated fans and equally dedicated artists. Live Pearl Jam performances can now be downloaded anytime, anywhere.

The availability doesn’t stop with online downloads. Immediately following each show of the band’s current 2008 tour, several other products are available through pearljam.com. Burn-to-order CDs are sold via the Ten Club (Pearl Jam’s longtime fan-club) and mobile bootlegs are attainable through Verizon Wireless.

According to their official website, the band’s engineer will be mixing all bootleg recordings in real-time, providing fans with a professionally mixed version of what they couldn’t be there to hear. Pearl Jam sure knows how to satisfy those who are looking for the next best thing.
