Ummm, what rumor for New York in September???Noload said:Is that right? With the S.A. shows on the calender and only one other credible rumor for Sept New York show will this be the least shows since 2002? No years since 2004 have went under 15 not to mention all of the EV shows. Seems really light even in a non record promoting year. I wont completely lose hope, for a few additional US dates, until probably July.

I am wondering if they are laying low for what may be a massive 2016. Hoping for a new album, tour, and rock 'n roll HOF induction. If they did this next year, I'd be fine with them taking this year off for the most part."Darkness comes in waves, tell me, why invite it to stay?"0

The albums will continue to be infrequent because they don't need a new one to tour IMO. I don't think we will see a change in that formula - every 3-4 yrs a new record. The touring faithful are part of why I don't think it will change.www.cluthelee.com0

They played the Midwest last fall and that will hold me over for a while. Besides, I need a new guitar. :-) Twenty-five years worth of boots are always around to enjoy until the next tour.I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

It's actually fucking bullshit.2008 was last proper tour.We got Pensicola and ATL in 2012 but Cmon.and spare me they lame"well the fans suck down there" or "Jeff don't like ATL because he had shit stolen" or "Ed has a problem w Fl laws"etc....LukinFan said:A tour (or a couple of shows) in the southeast in support of Lightning Bolt would be nice.
They have neglected one whole region of this country and a large population count of fans.
While The NE and Cali get an over abundance of shows on multiple nights.
PJ should take a page from Foo Fighters and reconnect to their roots.Play some one off small venues,drop into a small rock club,mix it up.who cares if your promoting a new album?Your fucking PJ,you could play tour after tour of greatest hits for a decade and sell out every show.Remember the days when it felt like PJ wanted more fan interaction? Seems like well over a decade ago.
Im happy they are taking the glowing hanging balls (same set up last 2 tours)on the road to South America but it would be nice to catch a couple of Southeast non festival shows every once in a while.
Cmon guys your better then that.Post edited by rr165892 on0 -

Lets hope there are a few shows before or after Global Citizen. It would be a shame to load up all of the gear for one show.www.twitter.com/robert_harbin0

Um, didn't they say they were taking a break this year at the end of last year's tour, people?0

how long of a break do you need to recover from three weeks worth of touring?backseatLover12 said:Um, didn't they say they were taking a break this year at the end of last year's tour, people?
maybe one month? two at the most?

I figure they're all just doing other things in their life for a while.... I get the feeling that the band members aren't as obsessed with Pearl Jam as we all are.

I think it's hard to compare the Foo Fighters to PJ. Even on the tours we consider to be big PJ tours, they weren't really that big. When you look at tours other rock bands were doing, PJ tours have always been small in comparison (except maybe their first few years). You'd have rock bands having tours so large they spanned years, but in the day pj would play a 3 leg tour (2 n.a. legs, 1 overseas leg) then they would have a year or two where they might play a couple of shows.rr165892 said:PJ should take a page from Foo Fighters and reconnect to their roots.Play some one off small venues,drop into a small rock club,mix it up.who cares if your promoting a new album?Your fucking PJ,you could play tour after tour of greatest hits for a decade and sell out every show.Remember the days when it felt like PJ wanted more fan interaction?

My point is Pearl Jam never has been a band that likes to tour a lot. Their tours (save the first few years) have never been abundantly large. Thus it's hard to compare them to a band like the Foo Fighters who love to go out and do really big tours. I think PJ knows they like to keep their tours small. If they want to tour for 2 or 3 months/yr do they want to spend that time playing to 3000 people or to 18000 people. I think that's why your not going to see them play small venues.
BTW there's reason they play the NorthEast and California a lot. They know they can sellout the shows. Contrary to popular opinion I don't think they can sellout shows everywhere. I remember there being quite a number of extra tickets up here for the NorthWest shows in 2013 (except Seattle). Luckily we're next to Seattle which I think they feel obligated to play from time to time, so we get a few shows around the Seattle area to go with it.
