Wouldn't PJ35 technically be in 2026 and not 2025? PJ20 was at Alpine Valley and the documentary were both in 2011.   

Your logic is correct, except PJ20 was really PJ21.  Ed wore a #34 shirt throughout 2024.

I always thought that PJ20 in 2011 was based off when TEN was released in 1991 and not their first show in 1990. But Ed was wearing the 34 jersey for pretty much every show this tour, so 2025 would be the 35th. 

But also Jeff wore the 33 shirts this tour so...

The # 34 jersey had absolutely nothing to do with Walter Payton or him being from Chicago or the Bears I guess

He specifically said it was for 34 years

So Toronto in May? Excellent!

Crossing fingers for maybe a show in Montreal,

And a show or two in Atlantic Canada.

Keeping us guessing as usual!

Well they can dually celebrate the anniversaries of both the birth of the band AND the album Ten.
If I was on stage with these legends, I'd rock a 31 jersey to show VS my love

I believe since Ohana is coordinated/organized by Eddie, it'll be a cold day in hell when Eddie and/or Pearl Jam don't show up to play. Some years might be solo EV...maybe some years Eddie with a band.

Regarding timelines:
The 20th anniversary of the first show was when they did Bridge School in 2010. It was, of course, exactly 10 years after the Las Vegas show, seven years after Benny and just a few years before Denver and Philly, amirite?

The festival was moreso "20 years of the Ten album."

I thought they celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the band at Vegas 2000 by playing Chloe/Crown for the first time…. 

Also he’s been wearing 34 since Donny J was found guilty on 34 counts

There are currently no events scheduled on the Benaroya Hall calendar for 10/22/2025.

Would love to celebrate our favorite Hall of Fame Legends, PJ35 style

PJ35 - Benaroya Hall - 10/22/25, 10/24/25, 10/26/25 - 10C Members Only

Atlantic Canada would be amazing! It's been almost 20 years since Halifax - mind blowing how old I am.

So, no PJ25, no PJ30 (of course, CORONA, you know), and now PJ35.... I don't think so. 

For those that are anti-PJ35, or pessimistic, or whatever, then what do you think/hope that "something special for year 35" could be?

Sphere.

I love it.  And I'm on board for sure, as I live close to Vegas.  But there's a surprising number of people who oppose the idea.  I'm very interested to see what kind of visuals that they come up with.

I've thought about how, if this continues to be the case, it creates this weird little blackout period in their schedule every year

They played Crown.

I really want to say they played Chloe at later shows, but Chloe/Crown together didn't happen until...I'm not checking notes here... Toronto 9/11/2011.

I'll use me as an example.
Back in the annual single days:

Year 1 Feb = I pay 10C renewal dues.
Year 1 Dec = I'm eligible for that year's single.
Year 2 Feb = I pay 10C renewal dues.
Year 2 TBD = I get the single for year 1.
Year 2 Dec = I'm eligible for that year's single.
Year 3 Feb = I pay 10C renewal dues.
Year 3 TBD = I get the single for year.

The first year they did Analog/Digital...I actually got that one a month after Christmas of the advertised year.

Then there was that shitshow that was the 2015 one coming so late that it said 2017 on it when it was supposed to be arriving in 2016. (Alive with Dave Krusen.)

There was a time when the cutoff date was usually around Aug/Sep. Anyone who renewed AFTER wouldn't be eligible until the next year's single...which would come in the third year. (Example: Someone paid in October 2006 to be eligible for the 2007 single, which would come in the middle of 2008.)

That confused too many people.

Eventually, it was changed to "Anyone who paid between Jan 1 and Dec 31 got that year's single." Of course the extra stuff (shirt, stickers, etc) they'd get when they renewed.

If they knew the mess THAT was gonna create...they might have released something closer to their first show.

Ohana Encore '21 was pretty much PJ30. An argument could be made that Let's Play Two/Wrigley Field '16 was unofficially PJ25.
