In another 5 years I'm not sure I'll want to fly to see them with all the expenses, especially if there's a significant decline in Ed's voice and ticket prices would just continue to be even higher. I'm sure the band would still sound good but if/when it becomes a GNR situation I'm out with no regrets. I also don't live anywhere near where the band ever plays.
You truly can not compare PJ to that cash grab grift they have going. But I get what you’re saying.
I saw one of the GNR shows in 2023 and while obviously Axl’s voice isn’t so great any more, they played a full energy 3 hour show, everything I could possibly have wanted to hear, and the music excluding the vocals was super well played. To each their own but I enjoyed the experience greatly.
I won’t say GNR, even tho that’s what it was booked as, but I say I just saw Axl back in like 2004 maybe? And he sounded great still. I’ll die on the hill that I’m glad I saw that over what they’re doing now…I’ll lose that battle every time. I know. I just see the videos of his voice recently and it kills it for me. I can’t do it. People love it tho, so whatever works!
I love seeing the chili peppers even tho I know Anthony is vocally maybe one of the worst frontmen, I get it.
I've seen GNR three time. Two shows were with the replacements, and the third was a reunion show in Seattle in 2016.
My favourite was the first show with the replacement. I think it was 2006. Axl still sounded pretty good and the show was a lot of fun. I do find it odd my favourite GNR show was with a replacement lineup, but it was pretty damn good. The show I saw in Seattle in 2016 was ok, but I didn't think he sounded as good, and the show seemed the opposite of spontaneous. It felt like they negotiated down to the T, how many minutes they interact with each other on stage, and which parts and with who... It was a solid show and I'm glad I went, but I haven't gone to another one, so I guess that says something

I feel the same. Only ever saw them once, August of ‘21 right after shows started back up. I’m glad i went, was a great experience, we were on the rail right in front of Duff, but i wouldn’t go see them again.

I don’t get the whole 35 years either. They celebrated 20 years (as lots of bands do). Why would they have a 35th anniversary event?
They are riding on the wave of a new album that has been widely received. Why wait 5 years for a 40th, when we they may not even be around then. Plus the band said to expect something special towards the end of year.
There’s nothing significant about 35 tho. I think that’s what you’re missing. Not that that’s not hard to do, but what’s to celebrate about that number specifically.
It’s divisible by 5 is all I got as far as significance.
Twenty made sense. 40 makes sense. The “who knows what will happen” argument still doesn’t add any significance to the number 35.
Doesn’t have to be PJ35 related at all. It could just be a 30th Anniversary Soldier Field show, as last time they played Soldier Field was July 1995
You’re stretching. I love the optimism.
But they aren’t doing that
I don’t know the last time a band celebrated the anniversary of a show. Has that ever happened?
I can see the screens making a difference for the arena shows where they're replacing that 360 degrees of fans vibe. However I haven't had the good fortune to see them indoors in 9 years so like whatever man.
If it kept them playing "Last Kiss" while turned around facing the back of the stage, then it was very much worth it...

Dead & Co played Cornell on the 46th anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s legendary show there a few years ago. But that’s all i can think of.

I said when they first announced PJ20 that from that summer until there was no more PJ that people would be obsessed with there being a PJ21, PJ22, PJ23, etc.
PJ fans didn't let me down
I rest my case
Do you remember that it was available through the 10C Shop? Of course, I own one

I think I’m gonna make my move on some expensive spring tour tickets if we don’t get “make sure your memberships up to date” teaser in the 4/10 newsletter..

I'm starting to lose faith in any more shows being added. #gutted
I still have faith more Pearl Jam shows will be added in Fall.
If it is it’s likely to be just a few. Didn’t someone speak to someone close to the band (near the time of Ohana / the 2nd US leg last year) and then mentioned a run of shows in the spring and one or two in the Autumn?
I’m happy if they skip the rest of 2025 if that means a U.K./Euro 26 tour 😅
Just over 2 weeks until the start of the spring US tour... Seems highly unlikely at this point that any dates later this year will be announced before then. Let's hope for some solid hints from reliable sources once the band hits the road.
Do we really feel that Pearl Jam would do Ohana Festival again just after playing last year? Of course I feel that Eddie will be there but the whole band again... that seems like a stretch.
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

Spokane, Boise, Salt Lake City ... those would be cool places to see PJ.
I think that is a possibility. Ohana dates are around that time. It would make sense if they do go an the road in the fall.
