Pearl Jam Twenty Launches 9/1 With 20 Days of Pearl Jam Countdown

Starting September 1, Columbia Records and Pearl Jam will launch a 20 Days of Pearl Jam Countdown to the theatrical release of the Pearl Jam Twenty film and soundtrack on September 20. Each day from September 1 through 20, an exclusive piece of content (audio, video, or literary) will be released by a partner and featured centrally on the Pearl Jam 20 homepage. Confirmed partners include VEVO, Live Nation, Rolling Stone, PBS, AOL, Sirius XM, and Grantland/ESPN. Be sure to visit www.pj20.com each day to get a unique glimpse into Pearl Jam's 20 year history.

Carved from over 1,200 hours of rarely and never-before-seen footage, plus 24 hours of recently shot concert and interview footage, Pearl Jam Twenty is the definitive portrait of the seminal band as told by Academy Award®-winning director and music journalist Cameron Crowe. Pearl Jam Twenty chronicles the years leading up to the band's formation, the chaos that ensued soon-after their rise to mega-stardom, their step back from center stage, and the creation of a work culture that would sustain them. Part concert film, part insider hang, part testimonial to the power of music and uncompromising artists, the film celebrates the freedom that allowed Pearl Jam a way to make music without losing sight of what mattered most to them-their fans and the music fans that they themselves had always been.

To accompany the film, Pearl Jam is also releasing a Pearl Jam Twenty soundtrack. The soundtrack includes 29 rare and unreleased tracks on 2 CDs, hand-picked by Cameron Crowe with his original liner notes and never-before-seen photos in a 36-page booklet that is packaged in a hard bound book.

A DVD of the film with bonus features will be released on October 25 following a broadcast premiere of the film on PBS's American Masters series on October 21.
