Feels like they plug in well with Leg 2 last year.Not really. I posted this many, many, many pages ago.Second halves of recent election years:
2022 - A short run of September shows, done by October
2020 - Supposedly there were plans, but nothing was ever announced and it was wiped out by COVID
2018 - A few summer shows, done by September
2016 - A few summer shows, done by September
2014 - An October run of shows
2012 - Three September festivals, a Jon Tester benefit in Missoula, and an Oracle secret show in early October - Ed on the road in November and early December making up shows originally scheduled for May
2010 - Two Bridge School dates in late October
2008 - No Pearl Jam shows, Ed on the road in August0 -

During their 2006 tour, they did 10 shows in 6 cities
And 6 of those shows were opening for Tom Petty
I wonder who Pearl Jam will be opening for on this tour?PJ - 09/23/98: West Palm Beach II, 08/12/00: Tampa, 04/12/03: Orlando, 04/13/03: Tampa, 06/12/08: Tampa, 06/27/08: Hartford, 09/22/09: Seattle II, 04/11/16: Tampa, 05/01 & 05/02/16: MSG I & II, 09/18/21: Sea Hear Now, 10/01 & 10/02/21: Ohana Encore I & II, 05/06 & 05/07/22: Los Angeles (Inglewood) I & II, 09/11/22: MSG, 09/16/22: Nashville, 09/02/23: St. Paul II, 09/07/23: Chicago II, 09/18 & 09/19/23: Austin I & II, 05/16 & 05/18/24: Las Vegas I & II, 08/29 & 08/31/24: Wrigley Field I & II, 09/03 & 09/04/24: MSG I & II, 09/27 & 09/29/24: Ohana Festival I & IIEV - 08/04 & 08/05/08: (Eddie solo, w/Liam Finn) NYC I & II, 11/27 & 11/28/12: (Eddie solo, w/Glen Hansard) Orlando I & II, 02/09 & 02/10/22: (Eddie & the Earthlings) Chicago I & II, 09/30/23: (Eddie & the Earthlings) Ohana Festival

But playing two nights in the same city and moving in what appears to be a normal linear fashion is really quite efficient given their passed one and done approach often.
There crew are no spring chickens and neither are they, so barring something unusual in their planning they probably have their setup rigged in St Paul at the excel by 8.29, if not earlier, soundcheck on 8.30, show day, off day, show day, breakdown on 9.3 and off to Chicago. Rig up by morning of 9.5, show day, off day, show day, breakdown on 9.8 and off to Indianapolis - so on an so forth.

Weird bits of routing cherry-picked out of an extensive tour aren't going to compare with MN-IL-IN-TX then go home. That it is a twelve hour drive is part of the weirdness. That there appear to only appear to be 9 shows is part of the weirdness. That those nine shows are in only four states is part of the weirdness.

I wonder who Pearl Jam will be opening for on this tour?
By what metric (other than longevity)?
Album sales have been stable, at best.
Other side of the same coin - what big name act might be opening for Pearl Jam?
???? : Pearl Jam :: Pearl Jam : Tom Petty0 -
Please no co headlining tour.
These locations have waited almost ten years (some more). It would be a bummer if we had to pay more money to see even less of PJ and an act we would be okay with at best.Post edited by evenflow82 onI've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

The point of the cherry picking is that routing matters, twenty years ago they could count on their crew to deal with the insanity of driving back and forth across destinations and overlapping because they did not have a choice if they wanted to play venue/city X based on availability.
In this instance, 9 shows is not a lot but it is far less taxing on their crew given the routing and approach. It is a linear trip in a fixed time frame with 4 cities getting 8 shows that cutting the setup and breakdown to a total of 5 times with Indianapolis in the mix.
This is the most normal thing they have done in a long time, last Septembers shows are pretty decent linear path, but the shows were tight, so their crew was on the move daily.
My guess is if this is real, it is a test run for how they might try to handle touring in their 60s.His eminence has yet to show.

They did a robust rock the vote in y2k, but in August.
It was very political, as Ed told us to vote for Nader. Great idea.0 -
Would be interesting if all the gaps and off days are on account of an older, legendary co-headliner0

Only 9 shows, if true, after 4 of the last 6 years featured zero headline shows (or a couple festivals) is weird
At this point, they might as well start labeling every tour Farewell Part 1, 2 etc. because its going to take them forever to see all their fans/markets one more time.0
