To mark Eddie Vedder’s first-ever solo tour in Japan, two special releases are on the way, spotlighting both his solo work and Pearl Jam’s live legacy: a new edition of Earthling and a reissue of one of the band’s most memorable early-2000s shows.
Both CDs are limited editions, available to Ten Club members, with shipping set for April.
Earthling – Japan Tour Edition
The Japan Tour Edition of Earthling comes as a 2CD set housed in a 6-panel digisleeve with an obi strip, poster, and Japanese insert.
Disc One features Eddie’s full 2022 album, including standout tracks like Invincible, Long Way, and Brother the Cloud. The record blends raw rock energy with reflective, deeply personal songwriting — classic Vedder, but with a fresh edge.
Disc Two gathers material previously available only in digital format: all six tracks from the Matter Of Time EP — including Matter Of Time, Say Hi, and the “at home” acoustic versions of Just Breathe, Future Days, Growin’ Up, and Porch — plus the singles Save It For Later and Room At The Top. All eight tracks are being released on CD for the first time.
This is a limited item, available exclusively to Ten Club members (one copy per member). Cards are charged at the time of purchase, and shipping begins in April.
3/3/03 – Tokyo, Japan – The Budokan Show Reissue
On March 3, 2003, Pearl Jam hit the stage at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo for a now-legendary performance. The show was part of the tour supporting Riot Act and was later released as the official double live album 3/3/03 – Tokyo, Japan on June 10, 2003.
The recording captures the band in peak Riot Act form, tearing through a setlist that spans eras: from Release and Even Flow to Daughter and Bushleaguer, closing out with heavy hitters like Yellow Ledbetter and Alive.
It’s a powerful snapshot of Pearl Jam’s live intensity during one of their most compelling periods.
This reissue comes in a gatefold paper sleeve with obi strip and Japanese insert. It’s available in presale for Ten Club members (one copy per member), ships separately, and is set for April release.
