a Krusen Ten Era tribute act. Would you go?

Recently cover bands get a lot of attention. Oh sorry, tribute acts ;)

I see a lot of former members playing old stuff with other guys. Examples are Nick Mason who's touring Pink FLoyd stuff. Or Ian Paice who is touring Deep Purple stuff on his own. 
Those are basically glorified versions of a tribute act.

What if Dave Krusen would do this? Just playing all the TEN era stuff on a worldwide clubtour? All the TEN songs + all the b-sides, outtakes would make a great 90 min show. 

Would you go?

    Nah, the year is 2025. Let's move forward.

    That would be like a band in 1991 just covering Bill Haley's, Rock Around The Clock.

    I'm a huge Floyd fan and what Nick is doing with the Saucerful of Secrets tours is fantastic. "Glorified tribute band" is a bigger indictment of whomever would write such a thing. 

    To that point Krusen is not to Pearl Jam what Mason is to Floyd. I can't imagine who he could recruit for a band that would interest me enough to see it.

    Agreed!! But I see tribute acts all the time on schedules in clubs. I never attend any, cause I dont like tribute acts. I would skip all PJ tribute acts. But maybe when Krusen is in the band I would go.

    Probably not... no knock on Krusen, but the drums were never the thing that endeared me to Ten, or anything else from PJ for that matter. For me it always started w/ the guitar licks, Ed's voice and the songwriting... everything else came after that. The drums were good, and never took away from the music, but it wasn't like the first time I heard Danny Carey or Travis Barker where I sat up and took notice and had to hear more from that band specifically because of the drumming. 

    I would love to see Krusen play live again, but for my money, I would much rather see him playing with another band rather than playing the Ten songs.

    No. I do not care for tribute bands and I wish Ten was retired. Even by Pearl Jam. Just my opinion.

    I wonder if there's some reason why it hasn't happened.

    If he wanted to, just imagine what Dave A would do to a PJ tribute band.
