Little help here.

How many TOTAL SHOWS has this band performed, IN THE USA, in the last 10 years combined? Total American shows for the last 10 years?

I count about 76 from 2015 through this year's Ohana.

That tracks with my 89 as I didn't count Ohana this year (2 shows) and they played 15 in in 2014

89 shows in America over a decade...that's sad...I don't consider them a touring band.

They are certainly not the Foo Fighters. But that is what makes each show they do play a gift.

Anybody who hasn't realized, for 10 years, that this band DOES NOT LIKE TOURING?

Hasn't been paying attention.

They wouldn't be doing it if they didn't like it to some extent. Even if they were hurting for money, they could make it in a multitude of other ways if they really hated touring.

Ed has made multiple comments in 2023/24 alluding to how much they enjoy what they do

Hate is a strong word.
Hate is an ugly word.

I'm just going to say, in my opinion, touring is not this bands top priority. 

Poncier

Let's not forget Covid scrapped a bunch of dates and yet unannounced dates.
Still would have not been a huge number for a decade but has to be factored into the equation.

We don't have to worry about Eddie sitting around the hotel room in nothing but a dressing gown, waiting for his 2 onstage shirts he travels with to be laundered! I mean unless ya wanna...

I spy a box of Ed picks

I was just about to post exactly that  I knew your eye would zoom exactly where mine did.

So cool. Been said before.. When I met him once he had a handful of picks to hand out. I wonder if he had that box with him and just scooped them out. No new ones for Ed this tour to see yet.
Good times ❤️

The CBS interview didn't do much for me

I think they have been doing things at their own pace for some time. They could have retired 20 years ago. I highly doubt they tour to just keep the machine going. Spot on that they enjoy playing but not being on the road for too long, especially after Taylor Hawkins death in South America. I think the large festival and ball park paydays are also incentives for them. Hard to say no to millions of dollars for a days work.

Loujoe

I liked it. Was cool hearing Ed talk about the setlist like waves. Makes sense. Nothing we really didn't know before but very cool and humanizes them for a fanboy like me!

Great piece, my only quibble was the "Pearl Jam sued Ticketmaster" comment, which isn't exactly true.

What is truer?

Yes, it was very well done. It was cool hearing him say how he didn't see daylight for a couple weeks with that record. Personally, when Dark Matter came out, I loved floating around on the lake listening to it in nature.

I also appreciate him expressing a lack of fear regarding his own death.

If you fear it how can you enjoy life? Funny EV and I are the same age he grew up in Evanston myself in Chicago, both love sports, wine and utterly worship The Who! Strange 🌎...My favorite part was Jeff describing listening to the MommaSon tape and after the second listen he was like yeah Stone, Mike you need to come over ASAP...can you imagine after thinking their shot was over w/ Andy dying and here was this voice from the Gods saying take II🍷

That's a beautiful perception. Thanks, V

They never directly sued TM, they filed a complaint with the Justice Department (who, iirc, was already looking into TM's monopolistic practices). That's how Stone and Jeff ended up testifying on Capitol Hill.

Too few, you're so right.
