Regardless of the why, the what around touring is what it is. You gotta find other bands. If your happiness is tied too closely to one or a small number of artists and their output, it's a much tougher ride.0

It’s about time we had a discussion about why Pearl Jam doesn’t play more shows and whether or not that’s good or bad. Long overdue.Camden 2 2006, Newark 2010, Barclays 2 2013, Central Park 2015, MSG 2 2016, Wrigley 1 2016, Rome 2018, Prague 2018, Asbury Park 2021, EV & Earthlings NYC 1 2022, MSG 2022, Louisville 2022, Dublin 2024, MSG 1 2024, MSG 2 20240

I see like 50 or 60 shows a year. When Pearl Jam announces a tour it's a bonus.0

Let's also not overlook how hard of a time they've had getting things going since the pandemic. They couldn't even complete a 9 date tour last year without getting sick & having to cancel a show. They've kind of been snake bitten these last 4 years.

I am grateful for any shows and that we still have them. They are amazing and I wasted too many years not going. I will spend the rest of their touring lives trying to make up for it.0

As long as the merch train keeps rolling they don't need to tour.0

You guys feel like elephants always walk the same path by the way I love Elephants! But for reelszzz you have become too predictable on your touring paths! Happy 2024
QOTSA 2024 Euro tour: Nurburg, Neremburg, Leciestershire, A Coruna, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Madrid, Fuengirola, Barcelona, Clisson, St. Gallen, Milan, Vitrolles, Trencin, Ostrava, Transylvania, Vienna, Zagreb, Gothenburg, Oslo, Copenhagen
Pearl Jam: Dublin, Manchester, London, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon
I haven't even heard of some of these places in Europe (granted they are festivals in most cases on the outskirts) but would be great to have PJ play a tour like QOTSA again. Never gonna happen and they are in two different orbits. I get it.
I was out of town for work four weeks in a row. Working during the day, working in the hotel at night. It sucked and was ready to be home, but when I got home I worked just as many hours. I just can't relate to touring being such a chore. It frankly isn't in relation to what 95% of the population have to do to make money, but they are in the fortunate position to do what they want.0 -

Or maybe not, and they're just lazy money grubbing pricks. I really don't know, but I do know this: if I resented this band as much as some people here seem to, I wouldn't be paying dues every year to be in their fan club.0 -
Just accept the fact that as a collective band, they tour as much as they want to. They need 5 guys to agree. I don't think it's a situation where one guy is calling the shots like the Foos or DMB (not to say that the Dave's don't take input from the others, but in the end, they are making the decisions).
Total speculation, but I think with PJ, it appears that Mike and Matt really enjoy getting out and playing. As someone else said, Jeff has been on record saying he doesn't love going out on tour. Ed and Stone are probably somewhere in the middle. But in the end, all 5 guys need to be in agreement. And that's what we're getting with the tours the last 10 years or so. And ballpark shows will make them the most money in the shortest amount of time.0 -

I should cut them some slack when I do get annoyed reading comments about how tough touring is. I don’t know their home situation and what pressure it may put on their family.0 -

It's also funny, that even in regards to age, they're nearing the age I would like to be when I retire, but I hope they keep working for decades more0
