    Taking the week off before and after this show.  Driving my motorcycle from Minnesota and exploring Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho during the days around the show.  Will meet up with my buddy from Colorado and my brother from Seattle as we explore the twisties in and around the mountains.  Also, have a buddy flying in for the weekend.  Pearl Jam is a great prodder for travel and adventure.  And don't forget to indulge in some huckleberry ice cream . . .

    This sounds amazing... enjoy! and agreed.. PJ is great for traveling. Z and I have seen many new places thanks to PJ. Every year, we wait to see where they take us next. This year, it's just Wrigley again, but that is quite alright!

    I just looked at the Foo Fighters tour dates for this year the other day...dang.  If PJ ever played a schedule like that again, I think this place would spontaneously combust.

    I wonder what it would take for Pearl Jam to not be such a heavy draw. I would think it would have to be relentless touring to the point of "tapping out" a market to force themselves into smaller markets. AKA play St Paul too much that Duluth becomes the option.

    I doubt this will happen. I'll just revel in the memories of seeing Dylan in venues around the state.

    I think at this point its either: (1) play less shows, sell out every one, get paid the same, or (2) play more shows, sell out less shows, and so get paid the same.  Obviously, the experience of us, the anxious fans trying to get tickets doesn't factor into their calculation.  And I guess I can't blame them: they can play their favorite venues around the country in less tour time, and make the same amount of money.  They get the time off and the credibility of retaining their reputation as a prime draw.

    From out standpoint, it kind of stinks because options for shows become limited by availability, location and frequency.  Also, any thought about how expensive they have gotten?  Chicago 2009 = $148/pair.  Now, $245/pair.  I think they've aged very well, but wow...that's an inexplicably steep price jump for a band that's playing markedly less shows now than they were then.

    It would be nice if they saturated the market by playing a lot, but I probably couldn't afford it given the rise in ticket prices.
