    I noticed that as well. I've got no problem with some new production. Curious to see what they'll do

    I’m thinking they will have pyro 🧨 with this tour - very dark and heavy feel to this album/tour 
    Unless it’s done in a unique way, pyro always seems kind of corny to me. Iron Maiden has incorporated them in cool ways. Tyler the creator on his CMIYGL tour. It’s possible. Pearl Jam just doesn’t seem like a pyro band. At all

    It's just a shame that Berlin isn't becoming a "dark matter" at all.  At 10 p.m. it is still daylight.

    Time to put the city on the back of a truck and move it further south.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I thought I saw this somewhere on porch but can’t find, all the way on side tickets Manchester say limited video view.






    A new PJ concert era has arrived! And 25% fewer seats in the USA = explains the higher face value of tickets. Hope they’re ready for fans to be mesmerized by visuals and perhaps less interactive.

    Increased production and shorter sets may take some of the magic away imo. I’ll reserve judgement though until im
    there.

    Same here. Also might mean less audibles as well and less variety night after night but again wait and see I guess. This year of all years really seems to be one of the ones where I should wait and see how May goes before making any crazy plans for the rest of the tour.

    I agree. The shorter sets already stopped me from going for Fenway and Baltimore and that’s only about 3-4 hours away from me. I don’t want to complain though. We’ll see what happens.

    Yep.  I enjoyed U2 at the Sphere, but 2 shows was enough.  Only changed two songs from Night 1 to Night 2.  It makes sense when you are spending millions on the video component of the show.

    Will be interested to see how a rock show sounds in the Sphere when you have three guitars with distortion.  U2 just had the Edge, and even with distortion their sound has a lot of clarity.

    The visual-stuff shot for the cover etc will obviously be on a video screen. Let's hope it's less tacky than the screensaver-nature of Metallica/Guns N Roses and such acts video production.

    The little ramp out... eh... hmm... I think it can be for something awfully staged - like when Eddie had that lamp to jump on, on que during every Porch.

    Just throw out a rug, plug in an Old Black-type of guitar and play Powderfinger like the big boys do it instead.

    There are literally thousands of seats behind the band.  If they can't sell those seats, they can't collect money on them.  If they have some sort of video wall behind them, that's an upgrade in production too.  These two things could definitely account for some of the uptick in ticket pricing this go around.
    They are collecting.  Why do you think the ticket prices went up?  Those non selling seats have to be made up for somewhere...

    What was their excuse in 2022 and 2023 then?

    Wasn’t this year the biggest price increase ever, by a decent margin?

    I think they plan on a varied setlist, they’ll just have certain songs on visual “autopilot” like a Disco Biscuits light show, so they can swap them in.

    This reminds me of when Rush brought strings out on tour. They always wanted to try that once so they did it a few years before…retirement.

    uh oh.
