Though Pearl Jam no longer releases each and every one of its performances on CD, the group still occasionally releases a choice archival performance. The latest installment in the group’s live series captures a series of appearances at George, WA’s Gorge Amphitheater from 2005 and 2006. The seven-disc box set, Pearl Jam Live at the Gorge 05/06, finds the band playing to over 75,000 fans just a short drive from its Seattle hometown.

 Pearl Jam chose to release these performances for several reasons: the group’s September 1, 2005 show at the Gorge is the most downloaded show in Pearl Jam history and includes a selection of acoustic songs and rarities like “Hard to Imagine” (performed for the first time since 9/6/1998) and Pearl Jam precursor Mother Love Bone’s “Low Light, Sad, Crown of Thorns.” The group’s 2005 and 2006 appearances at the Gorge also document group’s year-and-a-half world tour. The set, which includes over seven hours of live Peal Jam, will be officially released on June 26.
