    With the new album I'm guessing there will be some limited signed bundle version costing $200 including some tea bags.

    I have only seen the original band once and that was in 1999 during the ARISING tour.

    they were excellent. played unreleased(at the time) songs and deep cuts. I have probably seen the SP as many times as Pearl Jam. I enjoyed all of the different line-ups over the years. but the original was the best.

    only other chance i had to see the original line-up was when I Had tickets to a show on the first leg of the Mellon Collie tour in 96 when the infamous heroin overdose derailed the tour.

    My first SP show was Reading Festival 95, just before Mellon Collie was released. They opened with Jellybelly into Zero, which was pretty ballsy at a festival when hardly anyone had heard them (no online leaks in 95!) I think about half the set was made up of Mellon Collie songs, but the crowd went nuts for most of it. It’s probably my favourite SP show of the 4 I’ve seen

    Hardly.  If they were able to tour like Pearl Jam has, they would be just fine.  They definitely have their issues, don't get me wrong, but I think they could be successful.

    when they toured here for Oceania, they played their new album in its entirety (massive risk) with only Billy as original member, and the place was nearly sold out (13,000). the demand for original member reunion tickets would be massive. 
    Darwinspeed, all.

    Yeah. I think they have a shot to be a big touring band again. especially with the original lineup. there was something about those characters that people want to see. I think Bob Mould called them the grunge Monkees.

    Billy finally realized that he is not the BAND. maybe he played everything except drums on the records but the public perception is they are a band- Billy, James, D'arcy and Jimmy.

    Plus, love em or hate em. they have just as many if not more "classics" that people my age grew up with.

    if they market this right they could make a lot of $$$$.

    hmmmmmm. that sounds like a good idea.

    we got to see Wilco last year in between Pj dates in Chicago.

    wonder if I could swing this too.

    Loved the shows I saw about 10 years ago when Jimmy was still in the band.  Tons of setlist variation and jamming.  I think they might have bit off more than they can chew with these big venues, but this should work in my favor.  Will prob wait ti get Boston tix till the week of and grab em on the cheap off of Stubhub.

    I was just thinking the same thing for MSG. Have done pretty well waiting until week of to buy for under face in the past, of course this never happens with Pearl Jam.

    Agreed.  Was hoping for a smaller venue tour.  United Center in Chicago kinda sucks.  There are a few days off in the Chicago portion of the tour and I'm hoping Billy does something for the hometown folks.  Saw the Pumpkins in 2016 at the Opera House in Chicago and it was not sold out.  I realize its more of a reunion, but some of these venues are big.

    That's really all you need. Saw them in 2015 and it was Billy, Jimmy, Jeff and forget who on bass (but shockingly male) and it was great.
    The Oceania tour without Jimmy definitely lacked punch.

    same bass player will be on this tour. 2015 on the Manson co-headliner. they sounded the best I have heard in a long time.

    Not super excited that they’ll be playing the same set every single show... but I also won’t be seeing them more than once so I guess the point is moot.... just sorta makes me feel like they’re cheesing it a bit.

    anyobe have any idea when tickets go on sale?? Every method I use to check has sent me to some shitty page telling me I need to accept cookies or some bullshit on my browser and it’s getting annoying.

    That was mine too, I loved the fact that my parents let me go when I was 14!  The whole lineup that years was crazy, the only disappointment was Eddie not turning up with Neil Young and the rest of Pearl Jam.
