Figure it would give me a nice 3 week break from the band, and create a huge build up until I see them at MSG 1 & 2.

Anyone else like to take "breaks" before they see them in concert?

    i couldn't! i can't be all PJ'ed out for the shows.

    i like going to concerts without hearing the band for a few weeks before. seems to make the experience a little better.

    I don't even remember the last time I listened to Pearl Jam.. I know I listened to Into the Wild last week if that counts..

    Can only take so much of a good thing. There's other music out there. My mind needs new music to challenge it. This is why I much prefer new Pearl Jam albums over tours.. been there, done that. Where's the NEW soundtrack to my life?

    i'm with you 100%. it seems like a lot of fans on this board are afraid to admit what you just admitted. they think it makes them less of a fan if they get tired or just get overloaded with PJ for a month.

    there is a ton of other music out there, and like you said... your mind craves that stuff!

    Mmm... I'm for the "do what you feel"...

    I've been listening to PJ ONLY for the past month, every day, all day long. Big random play of all the albums, plus bootlegs, etc...

    I'm taking a break right now, ready to restart anytime my ears will need to.
    And ready for MSG I and II
    Makes me ache, makes me shake...
    ...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    I haven't seen the band for a while, but I like to listen a fair amount of an artist before seeing them live. You wouldn't stop working out for a few months before a huge game would you?

    my drought comes after the show. Been looping all albums and covers on a costant basis now for about 2 months (in the car) Soundgarden is my gym music

    so the search begins...
    See this needle...a see my hand...
    Drop drop dropping it down...oh so gently...
    Well here it comes...I touch the plane...
    Turn me up...won't turn you away...

    I don't see how that's possible.
    I've been listening to nothing but PJ since the tickets went on sale. :D

    i wouldn't be able to NOT listen to pj! it's like a drug, i'll think to myself, i don't need to listen to them now, then i'll get really excited at the prospect of seeing a concert and to release my excitement i'll have to play a pj song. then i'll think i'll just listen to one song when all of a sudden i've listened to 4 albums, a boot, and watched several dvds.

    oh god just talking about msg is making my mouth water, i need pj now i need it bad! *puts on riot act*

    New Weezer album comes out Tuesday, so I'll be listening to that for a couple weeks, and that way PJ will be fresh at the shows.

    I take the day off on the day of the show but from now until then it will be 50% of what I listen to. I believe fivehorizons used to have a section called PJ fever. Will end up being completely burned out a week or two after the last show I attend and won't listen for a month, but from now until the shows there isn't much else I want to hear.
