    I think the days of full blown world wide tours are over. These guys aren't getting any younger ... I think the small "pocket of shows" tours keep them fresh and invigorated.

    Unfortnately, I think they will also keep this strategy of announcing only a few shows at a time.

    Pearl Jam To Release Extra Tracks From Backspacer Sessions
    Guitarist Mike McCready explains why the new album has only 11 songs.

    Pearl Jam's Backspacer, which just got its exclusive release at Target stores on Sunday, is a lean, 11-track album that focuses less on the group's penchant for long live jams and more on intense, three-minute garage-rock tunes. In the age of epic double albums and never-ending streams of bonus tracks, it seems unusual for a rock act to keep it so efficient. That's not to say they took a more casual approach this time around — they kept things tight on purpose.


    "We had about 17 to 20 ideas going into this project, and when we had 11 about finished, [producer] Brendan [O'Brien] and [frontman] Ed [Vedder] sat down and said, 'This looks like a really good record,' " guitarist Mike McCready told MTV News. "[Guitarist] Stone [Gossard] had been talking about wanting to have a record that was shorter and more concise, and I think we achieved that."

    The inspiration to keep the album concise came mostly from their urge to capture the vibe of albums they loved growing up. "It hearkens back to our favorite records," McCready explained. "Aerosmith's Rocks had nine songs; all the old Van Halen albums had eight or nine songs. I'm dating myself, but those are really good records to me, and you don't have to have a lot of stuff on them."

    So, will those other songs that didn't make the cut get banished to the bottom of the group's B-sides pile? Not quite. In fact, they've got big plans for those too. "We still have other songs that are out there that are from this session that we may do something with in about six months," McCready said.

    interesting thoughts, we will have to wait and see, but at least one more world tour would not suprise me

    oh, and let's not forget, the family factor ... tough to stay away from the family for 6-8 months ...

    just my opinions ... but, it just seems to line up with where these guys are right now.

    i do realize that. what i mean by 'world tour' is that they WILL do 'pocket of shows'....spaced out....but you bet....hit up a LOT of different countries. that is definitely doable/possible.

    hell, even look at this mini-tour. they hit up a couple shows in europe pre-tour.....some shows in the US.....off to oz and nz......not too shabby. so sure, i would forsee more shows/places/countries next year, but spread out into a bunch of mini-tours throughout the year, well-spaced so the boys get nice long breaks with their families. if any band can find a sweet balance between touring and family-time, i think pj can manage it. october 22nd marks the 20th anniversary of their first show as a band, so say april 20th thru november 20th......LOTs of time to hit up a lot of spots, with a month on/month off style, just as one possibility of 'balance'... :mrgreen:
