    Today - March 9, 2023 - Third anniversary of the day PJ pulled the plug on the 2020 spring tour, two days before the NBA and everything else shut down.  No prediction value for a new tour.  Just remembering that day not so fondly.  In some ways it seems like it was 100 years ago.

    I was actually thinking about this today. Everything changed three years ago this week for really the whole world. Think of all the HUGE storylines and events in the past three years… Covid-19, George Floyd, 2020 Election, January 6th, War in Ukraine. It does seem like 100 years ago.
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I think the best assumption for the dice post is that it is nothing more than leftover merch that would have been sold at the 2022 Vegas show, sadly.  Maybe they’ll pop up in future mystery boxes.
    Could be. But the fact that he specifically used the number 23, and then deleted the post as soon as he knew it had gotten some 10c attention, makes me lean toward this being an intentional breadcrumb.

    I don't think the sphere is happening.  U2 is opening the Sphere "This Fall" with a residency.  September is borderline summer, and the Noblesville show above was quoted as Sept 9-10th.  I bet those U2 shows don't even happen until October or so, and they clearly stated that these would be the "opening" shows at the Sphere.  

    I think if we see shows this year, it'll be 5-6 cities max.  Just enough to bridge the gap for what should be a busy 2024 based on their year on, year off routine.

    If this was leftover merch, would he not have posted this when he posted the shirt and poster for the show prior to the cancelation?

    Possibly.  He seems to post random stuff he comes across all the time.  Maybe it’s a message or maybe he just found them at the bottom of a box.  I like to be optimistic and think it was a message. 🤪

    Maybe they will play the Sphere in Vegas after U2?  Maybe a "God's Dice"Tour where they play Binaural  =)
    Long shot back to Atlantic City?
    The Sphere in Vegas is the better bet.
    Not sure the Sphere and a Pearl Jam concert are a match.
    Sphere has state of the art screens for immersive visual experience, PJ has never embraced anything like that with their shows whereas U2 has been on the forefront of this type of thing since ZooTV. That's why U2 was tabbed to open the place with Achtung Baby themed shows. Plus, whoever the 2nd act to play there is, it probably wouldn't be until 2024 as U2 is tabbed for 6 week run from end of September into November, but there's already chatter those dates may be pushed back a bit due to the building not being complete by September, thus the reason no actual dates announced yet but the shows have been.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Smoke. I'm a believer. Something is coming. Not in the newsletter and probably not today...but soon. The Tsurt post was pretty much a confirmation for me.

    Vegas show confirmed.

    Normally I would agree that he's just showing merch items that were probably developed but never used. But since he deleted the post...
