Handwritten Original 1993 EV setlists for sale.
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 8:18 pmI recently started a thread over at the official forum on the Lost Dogs section regarding Handwritten 1993 and 1994 setlists that would soon be available.
They now are available on the terms below, and whilst I acknowledge that this is to ultimately run as an auction, we thought it best to bring such an opportunity to the home of PJ collectors, and it was worthy of a slight bend in our normal rules. Plus these are not benefiting any members of this site, and are unique and key pieces of PJ history that are well suited to our forum. I did check in with the Pearl jam forum mods, and it was agreed that it was the right thing not to run the auctions on the official board, as the rules are there for a reason, and regardless of a portion of these sales benefitting a charity it was best to run the auction elsewhere and respect the rules.
So with that said, lets go:: -
1993 Fall Tour
There are 19 of 27 attributed/confirmed shows/cities available, plus 2 others we are uncertain/ unsure what the dates were so in all 21 of 27 shows ( not counting the Hollywood show at the Whiskey A-Go-Go) All but one two are in Eddie’s handwriting, and one is from Jeff and part of one is in Stones. Please see below for details as notes are against each show.
We have unused tickets for some of the shows, as well as an unworn PJ sweatshirt from the Promoter of the two Mesa, Albuquerque, and Las Vegas shows, and an unused laundry bag from those shows—it’s the “freak” puppet image (like the one on the two San Diego posters from that tour) on one side, and a list of the shows on the other. There are also a few of those San Diego posters left
There are a few very special laminates too which may interest certain folk if laminates are your thing. Please ask for details, as I want to keep this thread purely about the setlists from the 1993 tour. Please note the 1994 tour is to come after this one is done. Really do not wish to bite off more than we can chew, and do this tour properly first before moving on, and making sure the admin side is easy and organised and the shipping out isn't chaos. That is the only reason we have chosen to make this happen over two 'legs'.
OK here's the deal.......The owner of these pieces has asked that we run one week auctions on each. He doesn't want to use Ebay and whilst he wants to achieve fair prices he doesn't want necessarily to reach for the moon, YET at the same time he really wants to get them into hands of real collectors, dedicated fans, people whom will appreciate their history and importance and value them for what they are. Its important to him after all this time that they find good homes, and good people, and not just find the richest person on ebay who might look to flip them or be snapped up by a memorabilia store, or institution. That might or might not make sense, but the underlying motive is to hopefully connect people at the shows to these great items, and that they are cherished moving forward. These are the only handwritten setlists from those tours known to exist or that realistically can exist in this form as these are the final drafts before they were written up for the stage by crew member with that task back in the day. Early drafts might well exist but it is suspected they are long since in the bin, plus probably could not be matched to actual shows as they would have changed until the final setlist was produced.
Let me be very clear these are handwritten by ev, the real deal, abaolutely original and unique one off items. Nothing here is photocopied or a reproduction. This in my opinion is museum stuff.
So if you are interested I ask that you PM me or email me (those who have my details) your.
1. Maximum bid.
2. Your email address,
3. your name.
I will update top prices here as often as I can, and hopefully at least every 1 or 2 days. On the last day I will post with one hour to go what the top bids are to give everyone a chance at getting what they need.
The starting bid on all is a fairly IMO low $400 to instigate interest.
Any questions, please feel free to ask. There has been a lot of interest in these the last week gone, and I expect there will be again now we know how the owner wishes to proceed. So please bear with me as I get back to you as fast as I can
I realise it will be disappointing to some that we are proceeding on an auction, but it seems the fairest way to all, given there is a lot of interest, and giving everyone a chance at their show. Fixing prices for items as unique and individual and as incredibly collectible as these is nigh on impossible, so we wanted to let the PJ fans decide on true values based on demand rather than either pricing too low and disappointing a lot of folk, or seen to be price gauging by going at them too high. I hope this makes sense, and is understandable.
So please check back here, as we will be updating regularly.
So what do we have on offer - please check this list and the notes. I ask for now that no one replies to this thread here until we have had chance to add images of each setlist immediately below this post. They are coming real soon.
