    My point being, any exposure can lead to pure exposure I guess. You CAN jump on the Jam-wagon(that's awful I know lol) in other ways than watching MTV.

    I agree 100%.

    As for shows, there will always be the person that went just to hear evenflow.

    I'm hoping they play as many shows as possible. I love hitting the road and attending as many shows as many places as possible. For me , the last 8 years, I began roadtripping in 2000, has been the time of my life. The whole experience of travelling the world ( 5 continents so far) ,meeting very dedicated fans with whom I'm now friend or acquaintance , and seeing a different show , with different experience and highlights, 4 to 5 nights a week is more than I could've ever dreamed. GIVE ME MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hope you are not offended...but how do you manage to do this? Endless supply of disposal income? I mean, anyone who could travel the world, seeing their favorite band "4 or 5 times a week" for EIGHT years--no shit its the best time of your life! Do you realize how spoiled you sound???
    I hold the pain, release me!

    the band isn't touring 12 months a year..
    I've been taking 1 month off to do the touring for the last 3 years and plan on continuing to do so for many more :)

    It's mostly a choice: I temp so don't have to worry about holiday time (plenty of other reasons too, I've always temped, suits me better).
    I don't have a car, cycle to work, don't spend money on designer clothes, don't eat at the restaurant every week..lots of things like that. most are not even sacrifices, I just don't care about them.

    I am lucky of course, I have a personal situation where I can make that choice, some people can't, particularly with families (well, they have a different kind of luck :))
    But plenty could, they just have different priorities..

    Same here, Pearl Jam dominates most of my iPod and its all I really listen to going between classes. The way I see it, those who would like Pearl Jam, will discover them in time, whether it be from a friend, or elsewhere, thats what I did, I found a love for Pearl Jam through a series of Youtube videos, of other bands live, and it eventually led to PJ. But I cant complain, I'm loving it, and I have some friends into it to.

    What possible good may come from Pearl Jam only playing a few shows?

    Think of how many people might be deprived of that joy and adrenaline rush.

    The more shows, the better for all.

    The only reason I'll go along with this is that I, admittedly very selfishly, want Mansfield 2 to be the tour closer.
    *Does not include encore of Garden and Leash.
