I have fomo for the big shows. Saturday night in Philly last year. Small venue in Florida and Friday night in Pittsburgh this year.
By “the game” I mean that they know their fans are traveling for shows. Would Pittsburgh be this tough if they also played Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and/or Toronto? PJ still gets paid but they may want to do right by the promoter unfortunately.
The idea of "big shows" is largely self-imposed. I'd wager that Monday night in Vancouver last year was every bit as good as Saturday night in Philly. Two random shows in Glendale (Phoenix) that I attended were both better than most of the eight MSG shows I've attended.
Bingo Ken! 25 of my 62 shows have come post-covid because of that thought More the reason for them to keep playing the places that have been neglected.
Right on RatherStarved.
I'm right there with you HHV as I've seen 28 since post-covid.
I try my best to see as many as I can because I don't know who's gonna last longer: ME or PJ.
I think I am something like 48/64 post 2020.

I agree with you on this. The best shows are the ones off the beaten path on random nights. You just never know.

I was at both Vancouver and both Philly shows.
The Philly show on Saturday was next level.

Agree. That satuday show was one of the best i've ever seen. Not all shows are created equal.
I hope this idiotic Trump trade war spurs the boys to do a Canadian leg. I’ll be there to support Canada if they do.
I hope so too but I also hope some of their fanbase stays away. Have you seen some of the Facebook comments on the various pearl jam groups? Whenever someone posts support for Canada or Ukraine it gets nasty in the comments. I didn’t realize that the band had that many hard core republicans in the fanbase.
