Imagine if you lived in Atlanta.  A city of 6.5 Million people.  

Pearl Jam has played Atlanta once since 2003.  And it was a festival....

And it would be hell alone to have to live in Georgia. Good point. 

Other than the heat, Georgia is doing just fine.  A proper show would be great though.

2015 to the present: 63 shows
2000: 76 shows that we got 72 official bootlegs from and one vault.

Help me out here....what's the show I can't account for????
Bellingham was a Vault release...Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver wasn't released...For obviously reasons, Denmark wasn't released....what show am I missing?

I m sorry for some reason I counted the david letterman show (they played grievance). My bad on that. 

Hey, Letterman counts in my book!

How does DMB compare with PJ on the corporate gig circuit?

At least they have enough energy to put out a $43 (with shipping) rehashed, 7 whole song live EP that we already bought on CD in 2006! Let's look at the bright side

More $$$ towards NOT needing to tour

"Realize that being on that stage comes first" I hope none of Pearl Jam's members EVER "realize" that...

Comprable. Especially Dave.

Something I always try to keep in mind is that it's much bigger than just 6 dudes. One thing I took away from the last issue of DEEP (whenever that was) is that there a ton of people involved in the touring operation, those people are professionals, and the band is very respectful of them. Pearl Jam's crew are veterans and they're in-demand in their industry, and I can see how the one-year-on-one-year-off model that they've been more or less doing for the last few years makes some sense - they crew up in the even years for high-paying gigs at a relatively leisurely pace with a band that seems to be all good dudes, and in the odd years they're free to pick up with whatever other tours they want to, or spend more time with their families if they choose.

I'm sure all of this is true of DMB's crew as well, but it may just be a different model/relationship where they've decided they're touring every year and at a faster pace. 

This is definitely true. A few years ago DMB didn't tour and took a year off. They announced it a year in advance because they let the crew know so they could book other gigs. 

PJ probably keeps things a little less defined and flexible.

For sure.  PJ only needs a crew for 2-3 weeks a year.  DMB is going to need a whole summer.

Correction.  2-3 weeks every other year.

I’m on a trek to see a concert in every state (35 down) and PJ being  my favorite band, I began some 25 years ago making them the band of choice for travel. Now it’s Dave (and Dispatch) as you can always rely on a Dave tour. Last year was Tahoe and this year is Salt Lake City. I keep putting Red Rocks and The Gorge on the back burner with the hope someday PJ again plays one of those venues. I used to think I’d at least get to see them at the Gorge but now I’m not that hopeful. PJ is still the best live show out there for me.

Riverbend? Ick. Can we get something a bit more centrally located in Ohio? Riverbend tops out at 15,000. 

Columbus?

Cleveland? 

I second this!

That’s the closest thing we are going to get to live Pearl Jam for a while. Well some of us. Not me. I missed the boat on ordering. At least we have Pearl Jam radio.

Don’t hold your breath. PJ now plays only the best sounding venues. Baseball parks. What acoustics they have. Stellar. 

pearljammr78

But you are right. When they play, PJ is the best live band going. For sure.

Think about Harvest Moon, Broken Arrow and Silver & Gold. The best days are ahead.

Neil still tours more than PJ and he’s almost a fossil.
