    if the full band wanted to do a full tour, they would just do a full tour.

    This is by far the most meaningful sentence I read in this thread. :geek:

    let me ask this...

    IF the new album is released tmw or next tuesday... why in the world would eddie do a short solo tour in small venues only days later?

    seems like a quick album promo tour to me... just like the limited shows in the EU, chicago, and the west coast

    self released album needs hype... and it also has to be released before it leaks... the album is done, and has been done... why would ed do a "solo" tour if they are releasing a pearl jam album?

    alot of bands are going with "exclusive" deals with big box stores...AC/DC did it with their last album... it makes perfect financial sense in this new enviroment... and you would want to release the elbum before it leaks... and if you do release an album why only send out your frontman on a solo jaunt?

    and why have a ticket lottery and only 1 pair per 10c member? because it is the full band, thats why


    makes perfect sense to me
    Always the dreamer. Is this the long-awaited Vote for Change tour, I presume?

    FACTS:

    1. ALBUM IS FINISHED
    2. PLAYING THE MOST HYPED TV SHOW OF THE SUMMER TONIGHT
    3. PLAYING NEW SONGS ON SAME TV SHOW
    4. WANT TO RELEASE ALBUM BEFORE IT LEAKS

    so... they have to announce the release date for the album tonight, 50 million fucking people will be watching... you dont play new songs from a new album and not announce the release date to the biggest audience you will have...

    so... IF the release date is tmw, or next tuesday... why the hell would eddie do a "solo" tour days later...

    and dont you find it funny there was a 1 pair limit for the tour, and a ticket lottery to boot?

    everything seems to be adding up here if you ask me...

    but there is very little reason to think the release date is this week or next week... as for the "solo" tour ticket limits... it's a hot ticket... it's a way to let more people in on it.

    Don't you find it strange that they could have done the EXACT SAME THING with the 1 pair limit and ticket lottery whether it was EV or PJ? I've said it numerous times and I'll say it again: we're all subconsciously hoping for something - WHICH IS NOT LIKELY - to be a reality. Well, the reality is, in the universe, the simplest explanation is also the most likely to be correct. The concert is billed as Eddie Vedder, with Liam Finn opening. Frankly, I think it'd be pretty stupid to expect to see anyone at these shows except for EV, Liam, and EJ.

    from what i can tell from the band... they would want to avoid the insane ticket scalping that would take place for pearl jam playing venues that hold 2500 people

    remember jeff saying they were playing some southern dates and he was looking forward to it? well, i havent heard anything about that at all... because they already have them scheduled 8-)

    Why wouldn't you, with this HUGE publicity machine available, announce "Tickets for East Coast Pearl Jam Arena Tour" instead? THAT makes MUCH more sense! They could use that publicity to sell out arenas!!

    It just depends on whether they wanted to play a small venue and make very little money, or make a LOT more money in an arena. Again - with 50 million viewing, if they announced arena dates, THAT would make much more sense.

    However - i'm hoping for YOUR theory to be correct, since I'd want to see them in a theater.

    an eddie vedder solo tour makes almost zero sense, and has since it was announced... he has no new material... and the band is releasing a new album in the very near future...

    the band is playing Conan tonight, so why would eddie do a solo tour a week later?

    solo = no sense

    and about 47 million of those people think Pearl Jam broke up years ago. Of the remaining 3 million, half of them probably wish that Kanye West or Lady Gaga was the musical guest. And of the 1.5 million left who care about rock music, about 600,000 will enjoy the song PJ plays.

    What does out of the box smell like to you?
    I don't understand people like you and NashvillePJFan, who believe in their ABSURD ideas so much that they almost preach it as fact. Why would Eddie do a solo tour a week later? Because Eddie wants to. A more appropriate question is why are the band playing Conan tonight, with Eddie doing a solo tour a week later. The answer? Because it's Conan's first night and it makes sense to in terms of publicity.

    my2hands. It's very clear that it would be MAJORLY false advertisement. I'll be seeing EV in Albany with my dad, who loves Eddie's solo performance, but HATES Pearl Jam. Why would Eddie want to, essentially, lie to his fans over something like this, as opposed to initially stating that this is a Pearl Jam tour?

    And actually it makes a lot of sense. Not to get into their personal lives but last summer's East Coast plus Milwaukee and Chicago EV tour was subject to be canceled at any time because someone had a baby on Bruce Springsteen's bday. I'm sure EV is just hitting up the rest of the spots he wanted to play last year but couldn't because of extenuating circumstances.

    probably be a guest appearance from the other member's of the band during ed's solo tour. but the whole show being purely a pearl jam performance? there's gonna be hundreds if not thousands of fans that would be very upset & sad if that was true. trust me. all would of all tried to get tickets to them, even all of those, via 10club or ticketmaster. money's no object, to many, if it was purely pearl jam. we would fly where eagles dare. i don't see this happening. sorry!

    Yeah, seriously. There could easily be a false advertisement suit, I would think. They are very different performances. Also, I would take a younger child to an EV show compared to a PJ show. I get that alot of the crowd are also fans of PJ, but it's a different show with much different expectations. Not sayin I'd be pissed off, but if I was expection Ed I would wanna see Ed.

    PJ has done their own small shows, I dunno why they couldn't do it again.
