If it happens (Sphere), I’m leaning towards a short residency (4-10 shows) similar to Phish and The Dead, and not 50 shows like U2.

Definitely!  It'll be like 6 shows over 2 weeks or 10 shows over 3 weeks.  They won't do anything more than that!

Yes please.

Only because I think it gets the Buffalo market as well. Cleveland would get Pittsburgh and Michigan (and would still not be enough). Been saying it for years…a Buffalo > Pitt > Cleveland > Detroit run is so damn long overdue

I don’t care if they do the Sphere, fans seem to want it, they seem to be intrigued, all well and good.

but if they ONLY do the Sphere next year, then no, absolutely don’t want them to.

If the sphere were a zero sum game, it would be a phenomenal thing to play there despite the weaknesses of the venue. The sound and video look amazing, however, Half of the 100s are obstructed view, the 200s feel like an upper level seat in an arena, and the 300s and 400s feel like an upper level at a stadium show. fans on the floor are going to look straight up over their heads at the video, that seems awkward, especially for an aging fanbase. Most of the fans are so far away, do we even need the band there, we can just watch the amazing video and replay a superior show sound or the studio version? They built their live reputation by being so close to as many fans as possible “in the round”, and now they discard it like it’s nothing.

as far as it not being a zero sum game, for a forum populated by PLEASE PLAY (insert your town name here) every single show at sphere is one less they will not be playing in your home town, unless you are lucky enough to be in Cali. For those of us in the most populated portion of their fanbase, they’ve only heard of four cities within 800 miles, and tickets are always impossible with a cost upwards of a grand. Every show outside of the east for the remainder of their career, is a ton of money being left unearned. And now they’ll spend a ton of money to do a true video like d and c, or just basic video so they can tick it off their bucket list?

This is completely wishful thinking, but a venue in DC tweeted today that the HFStival, which was a big annual festival from a former radio station at RFK in the 90s and aughts, is coming back and will be at Nats Park on Sept 21. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage, and Foo Fighters headlined it back in the day. It would be awfully nice if PJ did it this year since it is just a few days after the last Boston show.

Wow this would fit perfectly in their touring schedule!  Wouldn't shock me at all if they do this cause I'm sure it'll be big $!

DC needs a show, its been way too long

Let's be real though. With the current mindset of the band, they know they're gonna get a lot of DC fans at the Baltimore show.

Using that logic, does Indianapolis count for Ohio? Ugh.

Unfortunately, probably. Indianapolis was such a weird choice but again, the tour last year was strange all around logistically

Geez. People in here acting like if Pearl Jam did 10 shows at the sphere it would be the last shows they ever did lol 

Ride the wave where it takes us.

If they do the sphere, it needs to be 15-20 shows IMO.  Global demand is going to be insane.  

I think the screen this tour was a training run for the sphere by the way.  

Indeed. Hopefully they will offer up 10Club hotel special rates especially for those who wanna come down for the whole week or two.

You’re paying a premium for any 10C hotel package so if you’re price sensitive you’ll easily find lower rates.

If they do 5 or 10 show Sphere, will they put a limit on number of nights one member can win through lottery?

This place is very different from the majority of the fanbase. Here, fans willingly hop on a plane and follow them anywhere. No big deal. Most concert fans do not do that. Every show in LV is one fewer that will be played everywhere else, especially for a band that regularly misses most cities, and likely has at least two members counting down how many live shows they need to play before retirement.

D and C played terrapin last night, a terrific Jerry song. (Watching on you tube) The video was so incredible not only do d and c regularly pull off concerts without Jerry, at the Sphere, they don’t even need the band there. They are so small, even on this video from the 100s (good seats). It’s just such a bizarre and strange and amazing culmination for technology and concerts, and especially these save the planet bands transforming a 100 man crew burning jet fuel on the road to requiring 18,000 per night burning that jet fuel to see them.

Fans flying to Las Vegas to attend shows at Sphere are flying on commercial airplanes that would be flying to or from Las Vegas whether those specific people are on them or not.

And Pearl Jam's crew travels by bus on the road.

I strongly suspect there weren't many U.S. shows planned for next year anyway. The Sphere would likely be a bonus, not something that prevented them from playing elsewhere.

Still holding out for a Florida, Carolinas and up to Ohio and Michigan run for next year, though

Also hoping NY and Philly get some love next time around!
