Shit just got real. I noticed everything in the original post as well, but a Facemeltor drop in speaks volumes. One year or two years away, but it's happening.Facemeltor said:

That’s a shame since arguably the best ever performances of Better Man (2000) and Release (2003) happened there.SandyRavage said:21 years since they've played the state of Kansas
Edit: I will confess that I had to make sure Bonner Springs wasn’t in Missouri.Post edited by rummy on0 -
The answer is likely Alaska, as Pearl Jam hasn't played there yet. Oh I'm so excited, Alaska is beautiful! And can you imagine all the songs Pearl Jam can fit in to a 5 day cruise? So many gems, all the hits, can't wait!MikeDigs said:Does anyone know what Port Cities the Pearl Jam Cruise will be travelling to / from?I'm spinning, oh-oh-oh I'm spinning0 -

I went to the Dead & Co show on Friday night between PJ shows. I'm not even really a Dead fan, just wanted to check it out. Consider my socks officially blown off. I don't know if PJ needs to play the Sphere, but if they do, I will 100% be there.washed in black said:

I’m sure Sphere is in the cards at some point before too long but man I hope “Sphere residency” isn’t the whole ‘25 agenda considering that there are a whole lot of places they’re skipping this year and Vegas ain’t one of them0

Jeff has also said that he saw U2 at the Sphere. Only one who has openly said he was against it was Stone. But if the price is right, I'm sure even he will cave.RS72927 said:As far as the Sphere goes - no rumors, just information to digest:
