So, I am being greedy with this wish, but what about a fan club only tour in small acoustically amazing theaters like Massey Hall, or Roy Thompson Hall (both in Toronto). Setlist to feature Benaroyal Hall-type setlist (with appropriate modern inclusions).

    One off or so I'm fine but if it's the whole band plug in.

    I'd prefer that with Ed solo tours here and there

    Why?:
    We can't seem to get a re-issue of Benny.
    The boys are on fire on tour.
    They sound amazing acoustic
    A change up from the current tour "formula" might breed some creative juices for a new album.
    I think the demand would be unprecedented for ticket sales. (and merch).
    They would do it better than the Foo Fighters (circa 2011, or therabouts).
    Having seen Binuaral in Toronto, I was so excited for it because of the Benny renditions.

    And we have to dream, right?

    Yeah, was thinking about a limited run major city promo tour (before they re-release Benny). Toronto, Chicago, NYC, LA, Philly, Montreal. Add a couple of other choice cities as appropriate.

    I'd love an acoustic show!
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    I'd buy a ticket to watch these guys play nintendo to be honest. I'd definitely find a way to catch that at Massey or RTH

    Nice to see all the Benny love at the top of the forums right now. Hint, hint, management.

    I'm not against this at all.

    Just id I had to choose that would be my pick

    I'm all for an acoustic tour, I think that would be awesome (but I figured that would be something they'd when they're older and have a harder time rocking out).

    A theatre tour, when Arenas sell out in seconds? That just asking for most fans to be dissapointed :(
