    Was a bit of a bummer (though not unexpected) to hear him say he only expects a few more years of touring like this 😢

    Big downer! Not like they are globe trotting 60-80 nights a year.  I figured that there recent lightened tour load and shorter shows was a way to extend  there  career!?  Wasn’t expecting to hear that the end game was coming soon.

    And with tickets being so difficult to acquire…how many chances do we actually have left?

    Cool interview. At least he did say he plans to always play music, so I would hope that means more albums. Also, when he said "not that much longer" to the question of how long they could keep it up, it sounded to me like he was talking about "intense" touring, so maybe that was in reference to worldwide schedule of last year. 
    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

    Love Matt's shout out for "You Are."  It is the Pearl Jam song I am still chasing live.
