demetrios said:A sad read. Doesn't sound promising of a new Pearl Jam album or shows this year.mcgruff10 said:The drive just isn’t there for Ed. Why go through the recording process when you can play sold out stadium shows?That's true.

All you can do. Just gotta manage expectations. We didn't expect them to go full on Rolling Stones route this early but we knew that day would come and it was here several years ago.0 -
critterau said:Show? Not plural. Which probably means Woodstock. Barf.
Could be Woodstock, could be lollapalooza. This is just masturbatory speculation though. I know nothing. It just seems like that is the trend. Play a festival or ball park, and do a few scattered shows.0 -
If they hate touring, the EZ solution is a residency at The Hard Rock here in Vegas. Do a Thursday + Saturday for 4 weeks in a row, leave the equipment in Vegas, and everyone is happy. Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and everyone else is doing it. The Hard Rock is a wonderful place to see a show as it holds about 3000 and the lower level is all GA.0

bbiggs said:Couldn’t tell you. My comment had nothing to do with Eddie. The quote is telling in that the band is not a cohesive unit for some reason, as Jeff implied by saying he would record a lot more with Pearl Jam if he could. Not sure where you got anything Eddie related out of that.0

3000? Isn't that like having the Super Bowl at a HS field? Theyd need to do 40 hard rock shows to make a dent in the fanbase, and they dont like playing together that often.
If anything, do an arena residency in the summer. Do it in a big city, such as LA or NY. In the summer when families can travel with. 21 days 12 shows. Limited travel so ample time to write songs or record together. 240,000 fans with limited time and travel investment.0 -

Manage expectations?
The fans did not say "forthcoming new album" ten months ago.
Pearl Jam did that.0 -
Dave Matthews Band just announced a big tour this morning. Would be nice if PJ did the same over the next few weeks but I doubt it. With the news from the recent Rolling Stone article, I'm not sure if we should keep our hopes up for 2019 or not."I got memories, I got shit"0

Im not talking anything from the lastest albums , hell i love Lightning Bolt but something radically changed in 2006/2007 within the band. From mini-tours (the 2009 european tour is the main proof ) to the huge increase in price tickets , lack of comunication with the fan club and lost of stuff members get (see x-mas single).
they just cant be bother with anything these days, they know FULL WELL at this point what´s going on with the merch prices and situation and what do they do ? absolutly NOTHING about it.
They are living out their lifes from past accolates at this point and especially Ed seems to fine with it. People like Jeff and Stone know , or seem to have some notion of what going on but choose not to do anything about it because i imagine all the money they get for just playing a few shows here and there and have side projects in which they can take their creative vision.
Yes they still mix the live setlists a bit but let´s be real and honest for a minute since 2014 the setlists have become very predictable , 2 or 3 slow songs opening the show , a few gems in the middle of the main set , 2 or 3 accustic songs in the first encore and end the show with alive / cover / Ledbetter or Indifference
I really wish to know what would be Eddie pre-2006 opinion on what PJ has become these days...

Go Beavers said:I always get the impression that it hinges on Ed. Probably a lot of the songs get cleaned up and arranged by him. This combined with the fact that he’s writing most of the lyrics, which I don’t think come easy, or they don’t meet his own expectations.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0

So we are looking at Woodstock and 10-15 dates around that time, likely before the festival, hence the language of early August?

@HughFreakingDillon Are you talking about Northern Invasion? I might get blasted for this, but be glad you didn't go. I was there and it was awful. Half the pit had cleared out by the second or third song. I only stayed because I hoped it would get better. It didn't. Swarms of people were hitting up the merch tents, asking for refunds. It was a bad night for SG fans.0

bootlegger10 said:This is 50% of why I'm selling off my merch collection. If they aren't into it than why would I be?They could never play another song together again and I will still love their music until the day I die. I get it, I'm jealous of the DMB fans (or that country rock guy, can't think of his name) who tour the U.S. sheds every summer and I do wish they were more into new music and touring, but I listen to PJ shows every single day and feel fortunate that we have so much music to enjoy.Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)
