    If PJ hasn’t toured in a few years then at least there was a really kickass Pearl Jam cover band playing shows all over Europe last summer. 
    You mean the same summer that the real Pearl Jam toured Europe?

    Pearl Jam has become old, tired, and lazy


    inaccurate generalization.  Rich and unmotivated would be a more accurate one.

    This is a Pearl Jam message board so I am cool with all of the speculation.  If you were at a dinner party and you were speculating with non fans that would be a problem.  A PJ message board, then anything should go unless being blatantly disrespectful.

    You know as my mom once told me. If I have nothing nice to say, then don’t say nothing at all. She’s a cunt so I never listened. But for the sake of all the people on here that have UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for the band and don’t wanna hear comments and questions about the status of the band anymore, I have decided to be like PJ and say nothing for the immediate future. Peace and love to all on here and I hope to see you at a show in the near future. Peace and Love. Peace and Love.

    ...such as calling a woman a c***, especially one's mother (see post above yours).  Oh, and then following that up with "Peace and love".  Riiiiiiight..

    But yeah, bottlegger, I agree.  People should be free to speak their mind in a reasonable manner. No problemo!

    My prediction:

    -New album in 2020
    -Tour in 2020 (nothing huge....like 2013...solid tour)
    -Random "ballpark" shows from 2021-2023
    -One more album/EP/Lost Dogs 2
    -Small US tour
    -More ballpark shows for the next few years

    They aren't done. Not by a longshot. But, they have slowed down considerably and will continue to do so. 

    We're truly lucky to have seen these guys. Enjoy it while you can, everyone. 

    Cheers!

    The problem isn't hearing "comments and questions about the status of the band."  It's fine to inquire, speculate, and seek information.  The problem is that some folks can't seem to do that without making it their mission to throw in some snide remark about "retirement" or posting an ad to an old folks home or saying they're "not a band" every chance they get.  The #1 rule of the forum is about respect, and it's disrespectful to the band and its members to constantly say crap like that about them.

    Sad as it sounds. We will never get the consistent touring and album releases like in the past. Which is sad because a band like Dave Matthews Band still put out albums and tour consistently every summer. Dave Matthews and band are all multi millionaires and all have families and kids but they tend to realize that being on that stage and entertaining their millions of fans comes first and still seem to love what they do. Shame that our band doesn’t seem to have that fire and desire to do the same thing anymore. Shit we won’t even get vinyl singles anymore and deep magazine, what is that? I love this band and it hurts me that they seem to have lost the connection with each other and their fans. Shit. Tour three months a year and have nine months off for side projects and family time. Way more free time than us working regular jobs that pay for the merch/ tickets/ albums will ever dream of until if and when we can retire. Sorry. I’m just ranting and miss my band. Peace and love. Peace and love. 
    FYI, *Please Note: The Ten Club Single has been discontinued beginning for 2019 Memberships. The Band is still making the Deep Magazine for the fan club.
    That could be argued.  They're two fan club singles and two deep magazines behind..... one could argue they don't :)

    In all seriousness... I still think we have good days ahead.  I always figured the band would get older and the output might slow down.   We saw it happen to all the other big rock bands that had multi-decade careers.  I still think we'll get great live shows (even if they are rarer).    My flip side, is given how much 90s music didn't survive, that the band that's been my favourite one since I was 14 keeps on truckin'.   Sure the albums and live shows are a little sparse, but I know I'll get more.  What were the odds my band was the one that survived.. I feel pretty lucky.

    Fairly high given the exponential popularity of Ten and Vs.

    Bob Dylan was one of the worst concerts I’ve ever seen. Huge letdown. 
    Same....but it was in 2012 I believe.    Horrible...HORRIBLE.   
    1999. Couldn't believe how bad it was. That he's still touring 20 years later is wild.
    Worst show I ever saw. Think it was in the 2006-2008 range.
