Pure speculation on my part but I'm really starting to believe we could be getting a new record this spring! The extensive touring that is rumored for next year only makes sense after a new record comes out. Not 3 years after their last record came out. This and now reports of the guys catching flights out of Atlanta to head to south America. Why Atlanta? What are they doing there? We all know they have done a lot of recording in Atlanta over the years with Brendan o' brien. They mixed backspacer there. Could they be mixing another record there???
While I honestly doubt it to be the case I've also thought the same thing. Almost like a conscious decision on their part to break from their recent pattern and shock the hell out of everyone. It's certainly not impossible especially if they had unfinished stuff leftover from LB to give them a head start. Again, I still highly doubt it, but you never know.
Don't forget avocado & backspacer...
I actually think we may be onto something here... I remember ed saying, paraphrasing, in an interview for lightning bolt that there is now a lot of time and buildup for a new album, and that maybe the best thing to do would be to just put one out quickly and surprise people... they could easily do it since they have a small tight camp and longtime producer Brendan O'Brien... and they cleary have a bunch if stuff saved up from the last 3 albums, at least enough to be the foundation of a new album
I think a surprise album would generate a lot of buzz and exposure, so the typical marketing hype leading up to the release may not be needed as much
Bruce just did it recently... and the whole world knows Beyonce did it
Great points! The fact that it would coincide with both the RnR HOF and 25th year doesn't hurt either.
It would be so ridiculously awesome if that happened.
Without a doubt. The spirited conversation/skepticism is cool, but some folks get downright angry about speculation, or the manner in which they speak (write) comes across that way anyway.
seeing Rearview Mirror cover band on the 7th in Brantford Ontario. Down the street from me. Should give me a little fix.
I plan on making that show too! Saw them at the July 1 Q107 festival down at the Beaches. they were great.
i saw them after Pearl Jam in London 2013 in a bar. well maybe ill see you there i was hoping to find a couple of 10C members there. ill wear my im analog shirt
I wear my beer cap to all PJ shows and I wore it on July 1st. Look for the head gear Gard...
I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

Man, you cannot plant this stuff in my head.....I will believe it !! lol.
Surprise record, multiple leg tour of 20 + shows each. A destination weekend. All announced at once...I can see it now, it's going to happen. That's what the wait is for.....
If they could pull it off at this point in their career and shock us all, it would definitely leave a lasting buzz in the air

this rumour is inviting and convincing excitement i hope its true and it does make sence to what i think and know but there will always be sceptics and complaints
Hmm please elaborate on what it is you think and know.

I know no one knows yet, but if PJ were about to hit Europe next summer, any idea which month? Need to plan days off work and if I'm not quick enough, my workmates will put their names before I do.. Maybe there are Festival rumours which might help to specify some dates? Would love to make a trip to Amsterdam this time, only did Berlin in 2014 (which I'd do again of course since I live here).
I could be totally wrong here though and there won't be any Europe Shows next year. But if there will be, I'd be glad to have some dates soon..

If the last three (even numbered) years are any indication, they should be in Europe in late-June/early July. Perfect timing for festivals and family vacations (for PJ members).

This and now reports of the guys catching flights out of Atlanta to head to south America. Why Atlanta? What are they doing there? We all know they have done a lot of recording in Atlanta over the years with Brendan o' brien. They mixed backspacer there. Could they be mixing another record there???
Or it could be that Atlanta is a major hub for international travel, especially when going to S.A.

You would be correct.

A dream announcement in early December : pearl jam is proud to announce "_ _" the title of their new album to be released this spring. Followed by east coast tour dates in the spring. Followed by Europe tour dates in late June and early July. Followed by dates at Fenway, Wrigley, Red Rocks, LA Forum, and the Gorge in mid/late August.
I think we all could settle for this! This wouldn't be asking too much would it?

Believe me that thought occurred to me. However if they are all leaving from their home of seattle I highly doubt they are flying cross country to catch a connecting flight. Seattle to LA or to Houston would make way more sense.

It would be so ridiculously awesome if that happened.
Ed, in an interview response to 17 people leaving the 2003 Denver concert in protest of the performance of Bus$leaguer...
"I'd rather talk about the 15,000 that stayed"
