    I’d be less likely to travel with marathon sets unless I’m hitting the first couple of shows in a tour. 

     I would  rather have shorter shows than longer ones if the longer ones affect his voice by the time my show comes up

    Travelling to see PJ shows has resulted in my wife and I exploring places/countries we may have never visited. Slovenia (Ljubljana and Lake Bled) after the Trieste show for instance. In fact, we probably never even visit Trieste without PJ (another amazing place). Or stopping in Mendoza, Argentina and staying at a winery in between the Santiago and Buenos Aires shows in 2015.

    The key for us isn’t travelling only to see PJ. It’s wrapping and planning the vacation around three (usually) PJ shows. Its relaxed and always a blast. Some of my favourite memories are those vacations.  

    Hell, I’m off to London in a couple weeks! 
    Pretty much this. I have actually seen them 5x more in random cities around the world than close to home. Krakow was the one circled on this tour. I actually have tons of frequent flyer miles, but holy crap travelling is a pain in the ass right now.

    Yes

    The excuse to travel is almost just as important to me.   I have no huge desire to visit Fresno though so it’s more of a perk internationally

    I would add a third option 
    “Yes, but much less than I used to”

    If I can drive there in a few hours, I will always go.  

    There are also some situations, like Nashville on a Friday, that give me a reason to travel for more than just PJ.  In these instances, I’ll likely go.

    Taking multiple days off of work, flying to cities mid week on the opposite coast and spending thousands of dollars on hotels and flights, is what’s going to be cut out for me.
    This is the boat I'm in. I'll probably travel to nearby shows (MA, CT, NY, or maybe Philly) but I'm not hopping on a plane again until there's more of a sample size in terms of whether the shorter sets w/ a tad less variety are here to stay.

    I always have to travel.... between driving/ferry/driving it's about 3.5 hours to vancouver or 5-6 to seattle.  Will I drive further then that.. I dunno.   Probably not, but then again I rarely did.   Usually it was circumstance, a friend living somewhere that PJ was playing... hadn't seen them for a while. go out for a visit and a show kind of thing.

    Aren't these setlist lengths basically back to where they were pre 2013?  Lots of people travelled then.

    definitely withdrawal going from 3 hour+ barn burns to regular length.

    Also, not all festivals are bad.  Pemberton '16 is up there as one of my all time favourites.   If they played a festival in my area I'd go.
    pre-2003 maybe....

    I am curious when was the last time we had an arena show that had 20 songs on it.

    My opinion is the short setlists aren't necessarily a permanent thing, I think they are just trying to get through this without any cancellations and the longer shows will eventually be back so yes I will travel 
    What does removing 5 to 15 songs from the set have to do with getting through cancelations? 

    Also we have held tickets for over 2 years. You would think they would be putting longer shows on cause of this.

    In Berlin Ed mentioned limiting exposure so not to have to cancel shows I just thought he may have also meant his voice or maybe matt or Jeff not over exerting if they are still feeling the effects

    There’s a way to do this and retain the feel of the longer shows. If they have tighter curfews, get on stage 8.30, give or take five minutes. Take encore break one at 1 hour 25 mins and play two 20 minute encores. Restore the acoustic mini set, one or two songs to encore one. This gives most of the band three breaks. Play an extended jam at the end of set one and encore one. This gives Ed extra breaks. They’d still be on stage around two hours ten mins, but the actual show time would be a little longer due to the extra break. And also limit the covers to one song. A bit of a gut punch 20 songs with two or more covers.

    I think something's going on with the band they used to start the shows pretty much right at 8:30 they're taking almost an hour after the opening band which seems odd I first got the sense that something was off at Ohana when they took almost an hour to come out and then only played for 2 hours because of the curfew same thing in Europe right now not much variety on the set list so much material not getting played and then throw in Sacramento in Vegas being cancelled as opposed to being rescheduled after Denver just seems like something's not quite right

    Also are there any rumors of shows after Denver? You would think by this time we might be getting some rumors of additional shows but nothing?

    3 shows on NA leg 2 to travel for.

    2023 definitely no trips to SA or Australia for me.

    When they return to NA I would travel to Seattle or Chicago and then the closest show to where I live.

    Yes, because they play the same places all the time unless they add Ireland next time

    Maybe just a thought, but perhaps they wanted to cut down the amount of rehearsal time?

    Travel and PJ are like my two favorite hobbies, and I absolutely love to combine them.  I've been blessed to see them all over the world and will continue to do so, but if this does become the new normal, I will be much much more picky on where I go and the amount of shows will certainly go down. I'll want to be sure I'm only going to places I really want to go or have never been to before and PJ being there will be the added bonus vs. the reason to go.  

    I've been patiently waiting for years to plan a once in a lifetime type trip to Australia hoping to see the country and see a few shows while I go. I admit I'm not currently as excited for that as I was a few years ago, but I still want to see Australia so I'll make it happen, but my days of planning my trips completely around PJ might be coming to an end.

    I pretty much only travel to cities I haven't been to before, so I'll continue to use concerts as that excuse.  I'll probably travel more for MMJ and Ween in the future though.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    What is kind of funny is that some of us used to avoid festivals because of the shorter setlist. Now the regular shows are the same length, so I am checking who else is on the bill to maybe make it worthwhile.
