That Minneapolis rumor is sounded pretty good right now. But I still find it hard to believe they are not playing a show in Seattle this year.
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.
they are touring from april to august with some time in between shows. these days thats a lot for guys with families who don't seem to want to tour much anymore.
This. They have 24 shows lined up this year ranging from Florida to Canada and from New England to Colorado, that is a pretty big run. Not to mention they just finished a huge South American tour a couple of months ago. I would be surprised to see more shows other than a single event or two pop up this year. Finish up the touring in the summer and then get back in the studio by the end of the year!
One of the reasons I still think we might get something else is based on previous tour announcements where they specifically say 'these will be the last North American dates of the year.'
Well if Jeff is correct that there might be 1 more show announced it sure sounds like it will be a rumored stadium show in Minneapolis in August . So maybe if/when this gets announced they will add 'these will be the last north american dates of the year' to that announcement.

The East coast tour has support from many different sources starting in October and it wasn't announced until January. I still have not seen one reliable source about a West Coast tour- all speculation, hopes and wishes. I'm inclined to believe what Jeff said the other day- they might add a date or two more but that could be it. That one event is probably PJ25. Personally, I have seven shows lined up so I don't I have to pass if an anniversary show is announced. It wouldn't live up to PJ20 for me anyway.
My own speculation with no support- West Coast gets a tour next year and it kicks ass and is worth the wait.

I agree with you in that they probably don't like to tour as much because of family and all...But 24 shows in a calendar year is not a lot. a 3 week vacation in s.a. with family for 9 shows is not huge. I would be very surprised if another 24 show leg was not announced soon....

further to that...when you say they are touring from April to August, is not completely true. May (5) shows June (1) show July (1) show August (4) shows
11 shows in 4 months isnt exactly touring that much...
If/when May comes and goes without any further announcements...that's when I'll be convinced for real no further announcements are coming.
It would be nice if they would tell us if there are no more shows, or only a few isolated dates will be added.
Sure, but what if the dates aren't finalized? Until the contracts are signed things can still fall through. I think the band/management learned their lesson with Big, Bold and Free. Don't say nothin' till there is somethin' to say.
Definitely. I'm only asking they do this if their plans are finalized.

Personally, I don't care if they do a PJ25 celebration show or not. The sets for PJ20 were great but I have enjoyed tons of other shows just as much. I don't need to see a museum of stuff (they did that already for PJ20).
I was thinking for a long time that PJ25 is going to happen. But now, I don't know. Maybe the band doesn't want the expectation from us crazy fans every 5-10 years, there is going to be a special celebration like PJ20. Kind of makes sense.

It's not a lot if your a fan of the Foo Fighters.. lol... but we're pearl jam fan's. In the last 10 years I don't think we've seen them go much past 30 shows in a single year. It's been a long time (2006) since they did a large amount of shows in a single year. It's not impossible but it now seems uncharacteristic of the band to play 50ish shows (give or take a few) in a single year.

You left out the 12 shows in April
point being, tour is more like april to may, not august.
“We don’t have any plans for PJ25. And I think largely because PJ20 really does almost feel like it was last year. That’s how fast time goes at this point. Going out and playing shows, having people show up, having our fans be so great and so engaged in the shows—all the shows that we play feel like celebrations. I’m enjoying acknowledging that on stage more than I ever have and really taking that in and being humbled by it. Being really proud of what we’ve created as a band and the decisions that we’ve made. That’s the PJ25 answer."

According to what Jeff told me on Friday after the RNDM show, what is announced is all there will be this year, with the possibility of 1 other show. I asked him if that could be the rumored Gorge show and he said no. He said they will play the West Coast in 1 to 1 1/2 years, which I assume will coincide with a new album.
Well then I'm glad I got my tickets to Wrigley.
Me too. I don't generally travel that far for PJ shows. Vancouver/Seattle shows are usually my bread and butter. I'm fairly content seeing 2 or 3 shows every few years when they come out this way. The shows are getting further apart and last time we only got 1 show in Seattle :( Got a friend who is living Chicago, Wrigley 1 is on my Bday, so I figured why not. I'm good with two shows. If they play the West this year I'll obviously go, but it would probably mean another gap of 3 to 4 years until they played here again. If they don't play the West it gives me something to look forward to next year.
There's also the cheap part of me that would feel mildly guilty paying all that money to go Chicago in the same year they played my own area.
I've never hopped on a plane to see a band before. I've been living in Alaska the last 6 years and they will never play here. Flights anywhere from AK are pretty expensive. Right now, I'm glad I chose Wrigley and can't wait. I'v always felt that the next time the Gorge happens I'll be there, but it's looking like I'm glad I didn't gamble on that for this year.
I'd love to go to Seattle this year, but it's already such a good tour year. Seeing my favorite band at my favorite place on planet earth? Yeah, no complaints here. They will tour the west when they tour the west. Always worth the wait.

I definitely agree... no leaks at this point tells me there are not multiple dates remaining this year

I agree that 24 is not a lot, but it's been this way for quite awhile now. They haven't played 48 shows in a year in 10 years. I'm not sure why they would start now. Kids have been born, kids have gotten older, marriages.......lots of reasons for them to not want to go out on the road for too long. I know Ed's family sometimes travels with him, but they are touring most of April and some of May, when kids are in school. Jeff was pretty clear in the RS article earlier that he kinda dreads going out on the road (even though he said it's pretty cool once he's out there).
I don't think they want to spend their whole summer on the road, and are happy to do long weekend get aways to Tennessee, Tellruide, Boston, and Chicago. I would bet that the west coast will get shows next spring/summer.
After what Jeff has said, along with that Kelly Curtis twitter interview a few months back, I still think we get one destination show, but thats it. It may not be a "PJ25" event, but it sounds like that "one more" show is still coming at some point.
Outside of that, though, I think this is it.

I was wondering the same thing. In fact, I believe the Greek was the first to bring up the Gorge in 2015 as a destination this year, even before the east coast cities started popping up in October.
