Tour VS New Album
Its been 27+ years of chasing Pearl Jam shows. Collected bootlegs, posters, ticket stubs and many travel experiences - loved every minute of it.
I love that they have captured the attention of the music world as a top shelf touring band and that they still do what they can to keep set-lists and shows fresh for the faithful touring fan.
The business side of PJ is in the touring money. Digital piracy and streaming music took the financial incentive out of making records. They can tour on the catalog and thus the 5 year delay between new records. Makes sense.
But I'd have traded the 2018 tour for a new album in a heart beat. Stay home, finish the work and then tour. I dread the idea of them becoming that classic rock act that just tours and tours
I miss the new stuff

I find it hard to get perspective, from the point of view that so many bands seemed to release classic records back in the 90's, I find myself asking why can't they just do that again, but I guess it's just a matter of the stars aligning.
But this year I'd have to agree I'd rather get a new album and a tour next year.

I have complete faith this band can and will put out an amazing album.
Don't think we're ever going to have to worry about this band just constantly touring and touring.

i see them pretty much every year, at least 2 shows. From 2003-2013 (2003,2006,2008,2009,2010,2013) I’d see 12-15 a tour... after lightning bolt tour the feeling faded a little
nothing they did wrong.... it’s like eating a great meal everyday, it doesn’t taste as good over time.
i think lightning bolt & backspacer are good albums, but Avocado was the last “Holy Shit they are on fire albums” imo... I’m still holding out hope I’ll be floored again
unwrapping a new album and hearing it for the 1st time... driving in my car, home stereo etc.... that’s a lil more exciting than seeing them for the 90th or so time.
im jaded Yes
“Can’t Deny” is an absolute snoozer of a track for me.
I’ll ecstatically take an existing catalog show over a show with 4-5 more tracks of “CDM” caliber shoehorned in.
