    Finish the album in the spring, Ed tours Europe in the summer, album release and Pearl Jam tour in the fall. Best case scenario.

    Cue the "yeah, but Ed said he'll never tour in October ever again" crowd.

    BTW, I like your scenario.

     They can Jam in their typical 25 show run Nov 5 - Dec 20.

    If they want to be home for Thanksgiving they could do a 12 show run  in late Sept, another 12 shows in Nov and take off thanksgiving weekend. Even go crazy with more early December dates to make some more  profit

    I am convinced its all about the festival payday. If they play at all. Could be another 2017.

    Thanks. I'm a proud member of the "Ed says a lot of things" crowd.

    Here is a comment from Metallica's show in Raleigh this week:  The METALLICA show was staged in the round, with one square stage in the center of the arena floor, and a chair-free floor filled with fans.

    How awesome would that be?   Totally different experience.   They "sorta" play in the round now when they turn 180 degrees in an arena and play Last Kiss or other song "to the back".    Everybody is close with in the round seating.

    I'm pretty sure Metallica has been using this type of stage set up on and off since 2004. Drake actually just stole the idea on his last tour. 

    It's a great idea in theory, but that stage takes up a lottttt of space if it isn't a stadium. Take a regular arena show and cut that floor attendance by more than half. So instead of everyone in a seat and on the floor, it would be mostly people in a seat, with no option to be on the floor. I can't see that working for most people here. 

    That, along with the amount of production and money needed to blast music to all 4 sides of the stage and I just can't see it being worth it. Probably why more artists don't use this type of stage.

    Arcade Fire used that set-up on their last tour. Saw them play to 4000 people at Mandalay Bay events center. Went to get a beer and walked back to stand front row. Great value for my money!

    I'm kind of meh on the "in the round".   I've seen metallica do it twice, but if you're on the floor, you spent a considerable amount of time with the band playing in any direction but the one your facing.  Maybe it looks cooler from the stands.

    In the round wont work with Pearl Jam. The guys have their fixed spots on stage. They have their monitor speakers and amps pointed at them exactly where they stand to provide them with the sound quality they need. Eddie is virtually surrounded by his speakers. Stone, Jeff and Mike have a shitload of effect-pedals where they need to be. Metallica plays with in-ear monitors and digital guitar gear (Fractal Audio Axe-FX) handled by their techs off-stage. Well, Kirk has several wah-pedals around the stage.

    The octagon might be more appropriate
