    We're pretty darn fortunate they are still a band, still touring, and still kicking ass while doing it.

    I can understand frustration, not everyone has the pocket change to get on a plane, get a hotel etc.  I like that clearly something a bit more extensive is on the horizon for fall of 2018 or all of 2019.  For better or worse, Pearl Jam has chosen a touring strategy that fits their sensibilities as human beings.  I wish it were easy for everyone to see them at a whim, but that is not how it really has even been.  Beyond 2000, 2003 and 2006, you have always really had to put a little skin in the game to see Pearl Jam.

    Meanwhile, those of us in the S.F. Bay Area who can't afford in time or money to travel to another state to see the band, and haven't seen them in five years (and counting) will just look at the setlist in envy yet again. Sure glad I'm paying to be in the 10 club so I can buy good seats when they come back here in 2024!
    MEANWHILE THOSE PEOPLE IN FINLAND WHO CAN'T AFFORD IN TIME OR MONEY TO TRAVEL HASN'T SEEN THEM SINCE 1993. SINCE THE YEAR JURASSIC PARK WAS RELEASED. NINITEYNINTEYTHREE. 

    OR THOSE PEOPLE IN KONGO* WHO WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE THEM? EVER. EVER. EVER.

    Show some respect to the people of Kongo. Waiting five years? Plz. And you got Temple of the Dog. DID KONGO GET TEMPLE OF THE DOG?

    * Change Kongo to "Alaska" if you want to keep it to the US because PJ is a 'murican band

    No sympathy from me.  I've never had a local show, never will.  Traveled to them all.

    They've played 3 shows in Chicago in the last 8 years. It's not exactly a residency.
    Technically you are right... but..,

    2006 - 2 shows at the UC
    2007 - Lolla and the Vic
    2008 - EV solo?
    2009 - 2 shows at the UC
    2011 - PJ 20 and EV Solo (x2)
    2013 - Wrigley
    2014 - Moline and Milwaukee
    2016 - Wrigley x 2
    2018 - Wrigley x 2

    And I’m just going off the top of my head. There have been other shows too. Pete Townsend/Hot Stove charity shows with EV.

    Yep.  Hope to see you at one of these shows and buy you a drink!
    I would welcome that. Maybe we could reminisce of the days when (f)USC cheated (pushed) their way all the way to a National Championship game. Thank goodness for Vince Young putting a stop to all that!

    I don't live out there but if I lived in San Francisco I'd take a road trip up to Seattle and see them.
    It's only a 12-hour Drive.
    Hell, make plans leave at 4 in the morning with a few stops here in there you'd be there by 7 @ night easy.  It's a little over 800 miles.
    The guy next to me last time at Wrigley Field was from Alaska where Pearl Jam has never played, so he obviously saved his pennies, made plans and came all the way on out to Chicago.
    It can be done man.

    I always feel bad for people who don't get to see a show but you lose me when you transfer that disappointment and anger onto cities and people who do get shows. It's petty.
