Pearl Jam are celebrating their 20th anniversary and they plan to party the year away in style. On top of their new Sirius XM radio channel, the band recently announced that a brand new live album entitled 'Live on Ten Legs' will hit stores on Jan. 18. The title, which references Pearl Jam's debut LP, their first live album ('Live on Two Legs') and the beginning of their reign over modern rock, highlights the band's legendary touring prowess and penchant for wildly different live shows.

'Live on Ten Legs' features 18 Pearl Jam tracks recorded during the band's tours from 2003-2010 by longtime recording engineer John Burton. Fans will be happy to find rarities such as 'State of Love and Trust' and covers of artists such as Public Image Ltd. to Clash leader Joe Strummer. The band's engineer Brett Eliason has done a new mix on the tracks, which have also received a sparkling remastering job.

Continuing a streak of using different media to deliver their records to obsessive fans across the globe, Pearl Jam say that the album will be available through digital retailers, as well as CD, vinyl and a European-only version that includes a CD, double LP, four tour posters, five live photos and a tour laminate. Pre-orders for 'Live on Ten Legs' are currently up and running at the band's Ten Club website.
