Excitement Level For Possible 2020 U.S. Stadium “Tour?”

Glorified KC

Indifferent (pun intended) - Might see me there.

I would love it if they played the Alpine Valley Theater in East Troy, WI again.  Whatever the venue, I would love to see them.

I voted indifferent. I’ve seen Boston, Wrigley, Safeco and  Missoula. All were fun but ready for something different.  That being said, I still love the band and I’m sure I’d still end up going to one of them.  

Same with you and I did all the inaugurals in Wrigley 13, Boston 16, Sea and Mizz 18.   Let's have some new areas but not stadiums...  But I will admit Missoula on the floor was cool as that felt like an arena show.

Arena shows please!!

And yet he died because he did heroin, over and over again.

Might go if it was local, but I don't have much interest in spending so much money on travel, lodging, and tickets just to sit behind a net all night. The sound sucks, and even the best non-GA tickets are so far from the band. Not to mention the stress of weather delays...

They're not going to stop playing arenas nor are they going to only play baseball stadiums. Good lord, one small ballpark tour and you all think that's just going to be it from now on.

That’s pretty low, there’d be no Pearl Jam as you know it without him. He also said one of his main objectives in life was to have fun, not to live forever.

If you bought the Boston shirt at the last Fenway show with most/all of the Boston venues that Pearl Jam has played thus far, what venue in the area would you like to add to that list that Pearl Jam has not played yet?

A New album would be great. Smaller venues even better.

Not excited.  Did wrigley.  Cool experience, but not worth the money, time, and travel currency to do a second time.

If they did something driveable (to and from in 1 day) like pnc park or progressive field), i would possibly attend, but not trip over myself to go

This would be the worst - Zero chance I go and I’m throwing away all PJ vinyl.

sellouts play stadiums.  pun intended.

I feel like the last few years of stadiums has tainted how I feel about the level of interest in seeing the band and that makes me sad. I used to be of the “just play anywhere” group and I went and I traveled to Chicago and Boston, multiple times, and the experience has just felt different 
the passion has subsided after seeing them for 20 years. All the merch, and the far away seats, and the crowds, and the Kevin youkillis, and the baseball jerseys, just all of it feels well, not like it used to.

Baseball stadiums are not really that good sounding unless your right up front. Football stadiums on the other hand ain't that bad. I'll take an arena show hands down over any stadium show 10 out of 10 times but if PJ does a stadium tour again this year and Philly is on the list please, please play The Linc over Citizens Bank Park. After seeing concerts in both, The Linc sound wise is like night and day better over  CB Park.
And not that they give a shit, but the tour promoters probably do, The Linc has roughly 20,000 more seats to sell. They will have no problem selling out here in Philly.
Fuck it, move to Philly for a month and play 20 nights at The Tower, best sounding venue Philly (well Upper Darby) has to offer.

Facts are not low, they are self evident.  There would be no Pearl Jam without Jerry Garcia?  Look I am a Dead fan, fortunate to see them about a dozen times between 1992 and 1995, saw Garcia Band a couple times as well.  There is absolutely no evident connection between the Dead and Pearl Jam other than once they borrowed their stage.   To say there would be no Pearl Jam without Jerry Garcia is utterly ridiculous and beside the point.  

Garcia was an exceptional guitar player, for my money within the pantheon of lets say loosely "rock" music, he was the subjectively the best, particularly at playing in the moment and "improvising".

None of that changes the fact that he was not a prophet and certainly lived a contradictory life to his words at times.  

To quote Garcia on how to live life is like quoting John Lennon on child rearing.  Don't confuse musical excellence with some mystical ability to answer the secrets of life.

1) The Wang Center

2) Harborlights (I think it is called Blue Hills Bank Pavilion now)

3) Tanglewood (not Boston but Mass)

Also curious to know what the planned Fenway Music Hall they are building will be like.

I agree.  I have preferences, but the only things that matter are:
1) Can I get the time off work
2) Can I take my family or is it an ok time to be away
3) Do I have the $

If I have 3 Yes's....I'll be there no matter the type of venue.  Though I guess for some venues I will work harder at getting a yes for #1 or #2.
