I've had my fill of having my face melted off with "Pearl Jam" era tunes for two years now. Now, if they were supporting a new album, I'll be for the rawk, but lets change it up a bit and do a acoustic tour.

after seing the full band,,who the hell wants to see eddie alone ??
give me my band
Have you seen Ed solo?
I saw him twice and the band twice this summer. While they are both obviously very different experiences, i'd rank both as roughly equals.
I will definitely travel some to see him again this summer.

I also feel as if you're comparing apples to oranges. Why not enjoy both? Along with Harrybu McCage, Flight to Mars...and hey, where are Stone & Jeff's solo projects?
I'm with the thread starter on this one. Alhough I WILL get tickets if the solo shows on the east coast happen, I'd MUCH rather see the whole band.
Sometimes it seems that even amongst the PJ "hardcore", there are still alot of people who think Ed is the "be-all, end-all". Frankly, I don't get it. The band as a whole is amazing, but after listening to "Into the Wild" a bunch of times, I'm over it. I still feel that Stone has put out a much stronger effort in "Bayleaf", although I do understand that ITW wasn't really a solo album as much as a soundtrack.
Oh well. I'd much rather the band get working on the next disc, but if Ed wants to do a solo tour, so be it.

i disagree.. opinions are fun

I have seen pj many times and ed solo a few times. I think most people who say they'd rather see pj or aren't too thrilled about the solo shows probably haven't been to one. For me, i would go out of my way to catch ed solo just as much as i would pj as a whole. He really does put on an amazing show with an incredible set list.
Agree. I want Pearl Jam. And I want them to put out material more frequently. We need more experimental shit as well and it needs to be played live to. Gimme WMA, You Are, In my tree, Tremor Christ, Red Mosquito and such songs! Many of'em pleaaaase!

don't get me wrong I would love to see ed solo but if I had the choice everytime I would go for the whole band... and no I haven't seen ed solo I would love to though but again with the choice I would want matt, stone, boom, jeff and mike also.
I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

yeah, that's my point you haven't seen ed solo so you'd prefer pj. Maybe you'll have the opportunity to see ed solo one day There's nothing wrong with chosing to see pj over ed solo, can't argue with that!
you are grossly, grossly, grossly mistaken my friend.
I'd understand had they not just done a 12-tour date, but they did. I've gotten my fix. Now it's time for something completely different but equally as satisfying.

I agree that opinions are fun. I repect everyone's opinion, but I always have the eerie feeling that the people who would rather see Ed solo are the same people who care about:
Pics Where Ed Looks Hot
What Kind of Wine Eddie Drinks
What Kind of Cigarettes Eddie Smokes
Eddie Vs. (Insert Various Lead Singer Here)
Pics of Ed Healing the Blind and Walking on Water
Etc.
(I'd rather eat lead paint chips than be involved with those kinda' threads)
I know that's generalizing,but it's just a stereotype I admit to having issues with. I'm just not that kinda' fan, and I enjoy the band far more than Eddie solo.
Ive never seen an EV solo show and I would very much like to
something a little different and easier on my calf muscles.
I agree....well not about the calf muscles. Yoga.
But I have never seen him solo and would really like to, as well.
That being said, I am very glad he didn't do any ITW on this tour. My gf was shocked when I said that no, he didn't. It is a PJ show even though Ed is the one singing and talking and whatnot.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

that is pure insanity ..
i mean i guess ed solo is really cool.
but i love the whole band so much and nothing could top them. 08 tour was unreal.
i'd rather have them just work on this next album and get it out somewhat soon. then the whole band can do the next world tour.

I think EV solo was a more memorable evening and one I would choose again given a choice between the 2.

So, you'll be passing on any potential NY solo Ed dates?
I like seeing the full band as much as anybody, but will not pass this up. I kicked myself for not going out west before, and won't miss it again.
But I have never seen him solo and would really like to, as well.
That being said, I am very glad he didn't do any ITW on this tour. My gf was shocked when I said that no, he didn't. It is a PJ show even though Ed is the one singing and talking and whatnot.
