    as a midwesterner who couldnt afford to see ANY shows this year i would be PISSED if its just the east coast again... fuckin selfish how everyones like "ed needs to come to the east coast" days after the full PJ tour ended... i dont think ed would forget his home town of chicago but itd be real upsetting if he did... i rather them just go into the studio now instead of waste this time somewhere i cant see

    Just confirmed- I called the Riverside in Milwaukee.

    Eddie at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee Aug 19th.
    Tickets on sale next friday at noon.

    I'm sure there are other Midwest dates coming soon....


    Cheers!

    Many bands who are only doing one large festival often do a few additional dates as well so that they aren't just rehearsing/revving-up the tour process for only 1 show.

    august - ed tours east

    october - band plays west coast

    my theory....do with it what you will :)

    I agree. I definitely think they will do more PJ dates.

    Think about it. The band usually doesn't do short tours like this of America. If they tour, they really tour. I chalked that up to just wanting to take it easy before heading into the studio for the new album but now with this looming Eddie tour, something seems off to me. Why aren't these Pearl Jam dates of places that didn't get to see them this year? It seems like Ed just couldn't wait to get rid of the guys so he can embark on a tour of the same places he just played in front of. That's probably a hyperbole, but it still seems a little weird. I understood the first solo tour out west and I'd understand if they went into the studio now too. But the guys got together, just for the lead singer to break apart and re-perform in front of the acts that they already played in front of? Huh? These could have been extra Pearl Jam dates for people who didn't get to see them. I'm not saying this is on Ed, but someone wasn't on board for that.

    I won't complain too much as an East Coaster though... :)
    ...
    Reading too much into it... most cases... there is nothing more to see.
    Just take it as it comes and enjoy it while you got it.

    Its selfish for others to state their desire for Ed to play in their neighborhood?

    Chalk it up to laziness, age, family or whatever... but I don't think you're going to see a tour on the scale of '03 from the boys ever again. Hate to say it, but at this point it's all about the $$$. That's why they keep touring the east coast so much. They can make more $$$, with less effort, by sticking to the major east coast markets.

    HA! Try living in Kansas :) We haven't had a proper PJ show since 1993. And, no, Kansas City, doesn't really count as Kansas.

    it gets old listening to everyone say "oh ed played west coast now he has to play the east"... "oh PJ played east coast now they have to play the west"... and no one thinks of the people in the middle... not just speaking for myself... cause TX has gotten screwed too... and all the while theres also people talking about jetting across the country to see them 5 times in a row... just gets frusterating... and i think everyone should have their chance before people ask for seconds

    and yah we had the only 2 shows last year... but chicago is one of PJ's favorite cities so theres no reason we shouldnt get something this year too

    seriously

    mini tours is what is in store for us from here on out. They all have families, are older, and have side projects. Does a 100 date tour all over the world fit into that agenda? Other than Europe and USA once every few years don't expect any kind of tour with more than 20 dates. That doens't include that hassle of all the other shit.

    So stuff like a 8-10 date Aussie/Japan tour

    Maybe in 20 years when all their kids are grown up we'll get a big tour again

    that is just my take

    I live in the far southwest corner of the state... it's about a six hour drive to OKC, Denver or KC... meaning it's actually cheaper for me to fly than it is to drive. Except for the fact that it's a three hour drive to the airport in Wichita.

    30 dates does not a world tour make... seriously, '06 was a joke.
