Authored by Mark Hefflinger on June 11, 2008 - 11:23am.

Basking Ridge, N.J. - Expanding on the band's existing extensive library of live recordings, Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with Pearl Jam to distribute mobile "bootleg" recordings from the band's 12-city U.S. tour this summer.

One song from each show will be made available for free exclusively to Verizon subscribers, while another two will be offered as full-track downloads at standard cost.

Verizon will also offer ringtones and ringback tones for all songs through its V CAST Music service.

Pearl Jam will also support Verizon Wireless' HopeLine program, which turns unused mobile phones into support for victims of domestic violence, by holding collection drives at each venue on the tour.
