Expected Set Time Start?

in The Porch
So tickets (at least for LA1, LA2, and LV) say 7:30PM.

I'm guessing based on my memory of past tours, this means that the opening band will be on at 8, probably play 20 minutes, and then Pearl Jam will be on at 8:30? Or are we thinking PJ is on at 9?

Trying to plan some stuff beforehand so just want to make sure I get there in time.

    didn’t they used to play 8.20 ish to 11.05ish in the old days with openers? Gotta keep an eye on the 11pm union backline costs in these tight economic times plus the cost of bringing round an opener.

    Josh probably plays 30-35 minutes. New band , not a ton of material. I would guess 8:20 start, for 11:00 curfew. 2 hours 40 minute set.

    Plus, he's playing with PJ. I have to imagine that's a lot to do in one night.

    I guess 845

    If curfew is mostly 11... they really have to be on by 830. Hopefully we curfew broke a couple times.

    Josh probably gets 5 songs on 25 to 30m. There isn't much set change since Josh Is a 1 man band. He will be off by 8 I would think amd it should be am easy transition.

    Does anyone know if all the venues/arenas on this May leg have a curfew? Are their any venues that don't have a curfew?  Ive tried some google searches but its kinda vague.

    Remember that the Ohana shows were all a bit shorter than we've come to expect from Pearl Jam.  Presumably, that was a function of the festival nature of the show and venue-specific restrictions, but it is also possible that shorter shows are the new normal.  We'll see.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    At least in recent years, festival shows have always been a bit shorter. So the length of the Ohana shows wasn't that surprising.

    For example, Santiago, Chile 1 in 2018 wasn't a festival show and was 30 songs: https://pearljam.com/tour/history/show/santiago

    But then Santiago, Chile 2 a couple days later at Lollapalooza Chile was only 24 songs: https://pearljam.com/tour/history/show/lollapalooza-chile-1526667864

    So just roughly guessing the festival shows are usually around 2 hours and the non-festival ones are more like 2 hours and 30 minutes.

    I think there will be some disgruntled fans if we get 20-22 song shows with a quarter of those songs being from Gigaton. I'm happy to hear the new material but I think part of the draw, especially for those that travel to see this band, is that you're treated to a 2.5-3 hour experience with a variety of songs - old, new, popular, deep cuts, etc... If the number of songs played at a show starts to decrease significantly then I think the portion of their fan base that travels to see them will do so far less regularly.

    Not sure what to expect.  Will PJ keep up the 3 hour barn burners that've been doing on the tours they were doing pre-covid, or are they going to go back 2 to 2.5 shows like the old days?

    Those shows at the end of of the '13 tour with Mudhoney opening, they went late.  I think the one in Vancouver ended around 12:30.  The Seattle one wasn't much better.

    I'm guessing if they want the shows to end at a reasonable time, the opener comes on at 7:30, plays for 30 minutes, 30 minutes to changeover the state, then they go into it.

    If they plan to have shorter sets.  Then I could see the opener starting at 8, switchover at 8:30 and band on at 9.   

    I hope we get the barn burners, but with an opening band that wreaks havoc with using transit :)

    2016 with no opener was typically ~8:30 on stage and off between 11 and 11:30.  30-35 song set.  My guess for this tour is a bit less than that, Josh 7:45 - 8:15 or so? and then maybe PJ onstage 8:45ish and end a bit after 11.  26-30 song set avg.

    Many bands played shorter at an early age and longer as they aged. Not better or worse, each needs to do what is best for them.

    Looks like Josh (Pluralone) took the stage right at 7:30

    Yeah I had the same problem there when I went to the show there on the LB tour -- I guess they haven't improved the traffic situation there.

    What’s the expectation for traffic getting to the Forum? I was planning at leaving around 7 from downtown to get there. But it’ll be my first time in LA so I’m unsure
