for a band like Pearl Jam I always thought a residency in their home town would be a great idea for them. Like Billy Joel at MSG. If touring is such a grind and your fan base likes to travel, make them all travel to Seattle once a month or so. Makes sense from their standpoint. I doubt they would ever do it but I can see from an artist's perspective how it might make sense
I think PJ would have problems selling tix to a large venue Seattle residency... Billy Joel can pull it off because it's NYC, MSG, and he is a native son
PJ could do a residency at the Paramount in Seattle, but not the Key Arena. Much like the Allman Brothers did regularly at the Beacon Theater. I don't see PJ doing a Las Vegas residency. I could see Ed doing one.

Wilco does residencies in Chicago and their fans eat it up. Granted the PJ fan base is larger but same sentiment. I wouldn't want it to be in Vegas, though.

A few years back they did that Chicago residence of sorts when they hit like 5 different venues in a week..that was cool.
