What Is Next? (for PJ and "the guys")

MayDay10

After Denver tonight (and I guess Bridge School), we are headed into kind of an abyss where we do not have much information or clues. You gotta think they will lay somewhat low after this tour and through the holidays and winter, but what is next?

We know there will be RNDM. Possibly a month-long or so tour

Possibly the long-awaited Vedder/Hansard collaboration?

I cant imagine PJ, who seems like they take their time, do their own thing, will be in a rush to get back into the studio right away... is it possible though B.O.B. is tasked with making a "Found Dogs" album of B Sides and Lost Tracks from the past 4 or so albums?

No PJ shows in 2015? Maybe a couple festivals... maybe 1 special event?

It just smells to me like everyone will do their own thing for awhile and we will see a big 2016 with a R&R HOF induction, PJ25, etc...


Anyone have any idears/guesses?

My guess:
"hiatus"/family time till October 2015.
Nov 2015 - 2 "destination shows" in the US.
Demo work/Studio time Dec 2015 - April 2016


My hope:
East Coast Tour in May 2015

Canadian tour

One-off shows

Side projects

Lots of time with their families... They deserve it.

I love these speculation threads.... So much more than the song request threads (please kill me, I'm so so tired of seeing them).

I think you're right on with laying low. They've now toured for a year (of course spread out) for lightning bolt. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think much will be happening in 2015 other than side projects and perhaps an event type show. I'm hoping for a no code/yield set release but I'm guessing 2016 for that.

I am also hoping they try something a bit different and embrace some kind of vinyl program where they release shows more often on vinyl. It is so huge now that they have to realize the opportunity in it. They have always been cool with bootlegs and live shows but they only release a vault 1x a year.... Maybe they can do more, like 3? (Just take my god damn money).

Whatever they do I hope that they can still have some live dates scattered around....I like some of the guesses above, especially the Found Dogs.
Thank you Pearl Jam for again making 2014 a special year for the fans around the world.

^^^ agreed 100%. The void of a "year off" would be filled by shows on vinyl.

I find it hard to believe that Canada won't get a piece of the LB tour. They may take a few months off now, but I expect to see them in South America in the spring, and Canada during the fall.

Empty Glass

Personally (some may say selfishly), I hope they rest up over the holidays and hit the studio. In my opinion Lightning Bolt is a pretty solid album. I want them to keep the momentum and crank out another record. 4-5 years is too long.

We got a piece of the LB tour you just had to be west coast last winter. Vancouver rocked it!

I have to say... it might not be a good sign for shows anytime soon... seeing the way they are laying a beat-down on the "Porch" hanging lights.

South America in April, unless this is totally bogus:

My very reliable source has heard rumors of a year-long Vegas residency....ala Celine Dion. Also hearing that Pit Bull will be a regular guest artist. Can't wait!

I thought I remembered them saying in 2013 that they would hit the studio in 2015. (..somewhere in the promo videos.)

If they wish to preview some of the songs in front of a live audience, then Canada would be a great place to test them out..

Hopefully I'm at least 50% correct.

I bet there's nothing for a bit, they'll prob fill the void with the No Code / Yield box set hopefully.

And I hope RNDM is a definite! Hopefully they tour somewhere close to NC, DC at least again.

I believe Soundgarden are hitting the studio next year so I think Pearl Jam will have a quiet 2015 and the guys will hit their side projects.

You hear the news this morning? Britney is now gunning for Celine's money.

Hopefully East Coast dates, but if not, a special event type show(s)...I would love an excuse to go to Chicago again or somewhere like Boston.
