why cant they just tour in legs like back in the day , that way nobody would miss a show because they had to travel1000 miles to see them, i mean personally i like to travel, but others cant for many reasons, just saying i think the citys should be spread out more,,,

They are getting a little older.
So are we. Remember that huge 2000 tour? a Europe Leg, and 2 huge 30 show legs in N.A.? That was 10 years ago.
They are home with their families for months and months and months at a time.....right????
2007?? They played how many shows??
2008??
2009?????
These guys have played how many dates in the last 3 years????
Cmon....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
That leaves plenty of family time..........

ahh yeah you see my view mate,,, so i sure will agree that 10 shows shoud be spread like jam across the states,(as well as our other countries) cause i dont know about you guys/gurls but i dont like biteing into my toast an having jam on part why no take the lil you have an spread it all over
it because of this Soundgarden bullshit!...someone should make Chris C. some cement shoes!....designer cement shoes that is! :twisted:
It is all about pick choice which city where they can make the most money..

How much family time do they need????

Exactly.
Most people get two weeks off in a year's time to spend with family.
Of all of the reasons, family time, or lack thereof, seems it would be the least likely.
How much time do they need to spend with their families?...I don't think any of can answer that for any band member....But, for crying out loud...Is six or seven months out of the year enough time spend with their families?....It is just a bogus excuse...
Jeremy
I would love to see the band again, but I don't feel I'm entitled to it.

Good Lord Johnny Guitar..Did you see the stats Speedy posted...60 shows in the last three years...My god how do they find time to spend with their famiies...I agree family comes first..But, they spend plenty of time with their families...If they want to cut back on touring because family?..Well that is their choice...
I know Ed stated in interviews they won't tour for more than three weeks at time..But, still they can tour more than they have lately..
Jeremy
Yes, I did see the stats. So what? 2 1/2 of those years they had no new album. Since when does ANY band tour without an album to promote? Not to mention I can't imagine how grueling touring is on the body, and those guys aren't 20 anymore. And nobody knows what their future touring plans are.

If all of their fans made Pearl Jam their 76th priority, they really wouldn't have to worry about touring any more, would they?
But, the band can do what they want..Their decision...Just will disappoint a lot of fans through out the U.S.A. when they play the same few selected cities over and over..
Jeremy
Pearl Jam comes to mind... in 2004... 2005... 2008.
Remember that huge 2006 tour? A huge over 30 show N.A. leg, a Europe leg of over 20 shows, and an Australian leg? That was 4 years ago. ONLY four years...didn't get that much older.
hey why do i have to quote somebody on my own post? anyways what i was meaning is spread the jam if you are going to play 10 shows do it all over not in one spot
Ed's solo shows took time.
Recording, mixing Backspacer took time.
Rehearsal of a catalog of over 100 original songs to prepare for a tour takes time.
The business aspects take time.
Surfing takes time.
And ultimatley, getting inspiration for creating new music takes time.
Who the hell knows how much time the guys have left over for their families.
Think about it, they are probably a lot busier thatn you realize! :roll:
Exactly! Glad someone said it!
There was no new album to promote, so those 2 1/2 years of family time don't count! Why can't any of you see that? When we're talking a lack of family time, we're only counting family time spent when there is something to tour for.
It's like when someone is unemployed for 6 months... and then get a new job and have to work overtime the first 3 weeks... holy crap! They need a vacation, b/c all they've done is work since they started working!
:roll:

Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I agree with the other projects band members have going on..But, rehearsal and recording..This isn't a job they don't for eight hours a day..They pick and chose when to do this and for how long..
Surfing isn't a excuse...That is a vacation and I am sure their families are with them..
Business aspect..I am sure they pay some to do all this for them...Paid well..
Family excuse is bogus excuse...Unless they tour pretty much all year around like U2 or DMB does.
yeah but....Dave Matthews sucks!!
