The guitar was signed by the illustrious rock luminaries at the Flight to Mars May 2, 2009 Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) fundraiser concert at the Showbox in Seattle. Joining Flight to Mars at this special event was former Guns N’ Roses legendary bassist Duff McKagan and his band Loaded, a surprise appearance by Stone Gossard and Mike McCready's original band Shadow '86, who performed a tribute to Seattle rock legend Jimi Hendrix.
Pearl Jam’s highly anticipated ninth studio album, Backspacer, released September 20, just earned them their first No.1 on Billboard in 13 years, selling 189,000 copies according to Neilsen SoundScan. Produced by Brendan O’Brien, this highly-charged new disk marks Pearl Jam’s first independent release in the U.S. through the band’s own MonkeyWrench label.
“With the release of Backspacer, Pearl Jam is making good on its longstanding desire to release its music on its own terms,” said band manager Kelly Curtis. “Through a handful of collaborative partnerships, we were able to make the music accessible across multiple platforms for our fans and work with businesses – big and small – supportive of our overall sensibilities.”
Backspacer is available in the U.S. through Target – the exclusive mass retail partner, Pearl Jam’s own Ten Club, independent retailers, iTunes and Rock Band. Internationally, the album will be available via Universal/Island Records.
For Backspacer, Pearl Jam reunited with producer Brendan O’Brien who produced three of Pearl Jam’s earlier albums (Vs., Vitalogy, No Code), co-produced Yield and oversaw the re-mastering and remixing of their seminal debut Ten which was re-released earlier this year.
The lyrics for Backspacer were penned by Eddie Vedder with music written by Matt Cameron, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Jeff Ament, Eddie Vedder and recorded and mixed at Henson Studios in Los Angeles and Southern Tracks in Atlanta (liner notes attached).
Released on August 24th, the album’s first single, “The Fixer,” debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart and marked Pearl Jam’s highest sales week for a single download.
‘Backspacer’ is available to pre-order now at Target.com, iTunes, independent retailers and online at www.pearljam.com. The first single, “The Fixer,” is available now for digital download at iTunes. The limited 7” vinyl of “The Fixer” is also available at Ten Club, independent music retailers and select Target stores.
Pearl Jam kicked-off its U.S tour in its hometown of Seattle, Washington on Monday, September 21, 2009 at the Key Arena with a subsequent Australia/New Zealand tour set to begin November 14, 2009 in Perth, Australia.
Since their inception in 1991, Pearl Jam has sold more than 60 million albums worldwide including millions of live bootlegs. The band has released eight (8) previous studio records, two (2) live records, one (1) double-disc b-side record, one (1) double-disc greatest hits record and five (5) live/touring DVDs.

Before You Bid
Your bid is a contract
All bids placed on the charitybuzz® Auctions website are legally binding. If you are the successful bidder, you will enter into a legal contract to purchase the item and will be considered the buyer of the lot.
How to Bid
Steps to take before you place a bid:
- If you haven't already, register for an account.
- Browse the website for items of interest.
- Once you have clicked into the lot description page, the "Place a Bid" box will appear on your right.
- You must be logged into charitybuzz.com in order to bid. You will see the Current Bid and the Minimum Next Bid. To bid this amount, simply click the "Bid Now" button. A "Confirm Your Bid" box will appear confirming the Bid Price. If okay, hit Confirm. From here you can Return to Auction, check Your Active Lots, or Log-Out.
- Due to the charitable nature of this auction, charitybuzz® has waived all buyer's premiums, commissions and fees.
- If you have been Outbid, you have the opportunity to continue bidding. You will also be notified by email.
- Overtime or "Popcorn" Bidding: Bids placed within 10 minutes prior to a lot's scheduled closing time will extend the closing time on that lot an additional 10 minutes. All lots will close when there have been no bids placed within the last remaining 10 minutes.
Bids are a binding contract. If you have any questions on any terms and conditions, we encourage you to email info@charitybuzz.com or call (212) 243-3900 and speak with one of our auction specialists before you place a bid.
Overtime Bid
Why did the auction closing time extend by 10 minutes after I placed my bid? This is called "Popcorn" Bidding: Bids placed within 10 minutes prior to a lot's scheduled closing time will extend the closing time on that lot an additional 10 minutes. This gives all bidders an opportunity to place a competing bid. All lots will close when there have been no bids placed within the last remaining 10 minutes.
Max Bid
Max bidding allows you to bid the maximum amount you wish to bid for an auction lot. Your maximum bid won't be displayed to other bidders, but will be displayed as the current bid based on the bidding increment. The following example illustrates max bidding:
- Auction Lot 1000 has a current bid of $0. The minimum bid is $250.
- Juan places and confirms a maximum bid of $500. Juan's bid is displayed as $250.
- Sally places a bid of $300 and is notified that the bid was not accepted because it did not exceed the maximum bid.
- Juan's next bid is automatically increased to the next bidding increment of $350.
- If no other bids are placed, Juan is the winner at $350.
- If Juan's $500 max bid is overtaken by another bidder, he will receive an outbid notice.
For further clarification please email info@charitybuzz.com with any questions.
liveBID
What does liveBID mean in the auction title and description?
In addition to an online auction, charities frequently conduct live galas and feature a live auction at the event. For the auction lots that are included in the online auction and the live auction, we note them with "liveBID" in the lot description, and we close the online bidding the day of the live auction. We contact the highest bidders on those liveBID lots by phone to see if the bidders want us to continue bidding on their behalf at the live auction.
In addition, a live gala may also include a silent auction. In these cases, charitybuzz bidders can bid online for silent auction items along with the guests at the event. These items remain open online until they close at the event. Winning bidders will be notified via email when credit card charges are processed. Please note that silent auction items do not support the Max Bid feature. The amount you bid will be registered as the next bid regardless of increment, so please bid carefully.
Please email info@charitybuzz.com with any questions.
ReserveBID
ReserveBID is a way for donors/charities to ensure that items do not sell below their value. Some items will start at a lower opening bid price to encourage bidding; however items that display "ReserveBID not met" below the current bid are not obligated to be sold to the highest bidder. Bidding must surpass the set reserve price in order to sell; therefore once "ReserveBID not met" disappears, the item is valid for sale at the current bid posted. Reserve prices are confidential and will not be revealed to bidders.
