ok cool... as always thanks for your help guys! ill pick 5 against 1 up... does anyone know of any newer books?? rock on, Jim
I don't think so. 5 against 1 was really good, it had an incredibly in-depth section about Eddie growing up that was really interesting to me, not the sort of stuff you read in the band bio on the web. I'd reccomend 5 against one.
You could search Amazon but I don't think there is much else.
I got "Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder: None Too Fragile" by Martin Clarke...I really liked it, although I finished it pretty quickly (165 pages). It was made in 2003, but only the it doesn't get to the Yield-era until about 15 pages from the end (if that).
SOMEONE needs to write a thorough history of PJ which goes past Vitalogy and isn't cut-and-pasted from 3rd party witnesses.
It'd be nice to get the real story from them but since they're such a private band, I don't think it's going to happen soon.
*raises hand to volunteer to write new bio*
none too fragile and five against one are the two I have.

another book I have is Loser: the Real Seattle Music Story...it goes from hendrix to grunge. Not much PJ though, the editor obviously had no love for them. but there is info about Green River and Mother Love Bone, and tons about nivana, of course.

Fice Against One, a reprinted version, is available in Borders where I live. Guess it's available over there too. Kim Neely is the name of the author who wrote it. It makes for good reading, the only PJ book I've ever seen. Kind of hard to get PJ books in Australia. Suggest you get whichever PJ books you can lay your hands on, I would if I could get more than this one book. You're lucky, you have a better selection over there.
