    I will do my usual thing. 

    If playing in Sweden (non festival) - YES
    If playing in the Nordics (Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki) - YES to one of those
    If yes to one or two of the above - go to one (1) place in Europe I haven't been (like Budapest this year)
    If no shows in the Nordics - go to two (2) places in Europe I haven't been.

    In essence. Try to catch two shows per tour. And have the places I visit be places I haven't visited before. Except for if they are playing in Sweden and close by, as the Nordic countries are.

    not trying to be negative. I did catch three shows already this tour. But as far as traveling, I made the bummer decision to not. I refunded my airline, hotel and sold my Nashville tickets. Just cant justify the cost to see the same basic concert Ive seen already. But, all three were fricken amazing! Just that I could drive to them, minimal cost. Ill see Eddie in Ohana two weeks in a row in September, so that's good enough. Just return on investment decision.

    I hear you. Travelling isn't super easy these days and it can be very expensive. I'm definitely going to try and be smarter about it going forward. If I can drive to shows, or take a train, that will be much more appealing than booking airfare. I'm ok with hotels, but flying is so uncertain and costly right now.

    STL or KC is my radius and has been for a long time now. I wouldn’t not go because of a set list. That’s fucking silly to me.

    Yes.  I haven’t travelled for PJ in 10 years, but next tour will hopefully go to a city I’ve never been to before as it’s a great excuse (will probably skip London though next time).

    Driving is all I do nowadays. Unfortunately, ticket prices are approaching an amount that I'm not willing to pay.

    Nothing to do with the shorter setlists, I just have too many other places I want to go and things I want to do & see rather than center my life and vacations around Pearl Jam shows.

    That said, I would like to do Ohana one year.

    I'm forced to travel if I want to see shows, so it comes down to a financial decision. The setlists don't bother me. I'm much more concerned with flights getting cancelled than I am about not hearing 5-8 songs.

    I wanna do more driving to Pearl Jam shows. It's been all airplane & train rides. The Canadian dates this September we will be driving. I would LOVE to do a New England Pearl Jam Experience road trip. To see them in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire & Rhode Island. And to also see them again in Massachusetts & Connecticut.

    This is my dream. Been trying to wish the mythical New England tour into existence for years. Don't stop believin'!

    Consider driving less. We only have one planet.

    The spontaniety and wow factors of the shows have gotten less and less over the last few tours.  To me it has nothing to do with the quantity of the songs, but the predictability of every mainset ending with Porch, every enocre having Alive then mostly a flip of Yellow Ledbetter/RITFW.  
    His eminence has yet to show.

    Driving to NYC then turning around and driving home only to then drive to Camden then turning around and driving home.

    Hopefully it's easier next tour!

    We are America, we don’t get euro type public transport choices. North America was built for driving, try getting from NYC direct to Ottawa. The only direct public transport is a plane from New Jersey. And that’s either 8.30am or pm, which doesn’t exactly line up with a single night stay for a show. Trains and buses do not do this direct route at all. And Ottawa is the second closest city show to the largest city in the US, except for those winning the highest demand ticket of the tour, the msg lottery
