Oh, and 10th of july Ben Harper plays in Pistoia: would be great to see him jump on the stage

Hasn’t he ruined enough versions of indifference?

Indeed. Those versions are unlistenable.

But which part is logic? The part about it only being 2/1, meaning there is plenty of time for PJ to announce tour dates? Or the part about getting to see some of the other favorite bands?

its too early to say pj will not play at all this year

I think the soonest we get a hint of what Pearl Jam is doing would be in April when Austin City Limits and Voodofest are announced.  Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Osheaga are also announced in April but with the EV Europe tour, I’d guess there won’t be any PJ shows until the fall.  

Similair timeline to Lightning Bolt may happen - finish record in spring, tour Oct-Dec.

if april comes and we dont have any infos,we are fucked for 2019

LB wasn’t announced until July 1st ( countdown clock). I’m hoping for some clarity in April but July is my “ fucked for 2019” date.

A tour that announced 4 months before tour time is planned and booked 6-9  months minimum  months earlier.
u cant just have stand  by people to wait to see where u wanna go on tour..
venues need to plan,security companies,tour crew,.etc .on july all those people are booked till  end of the year.even for next year..
so if pj wanna tour lets say europe june 2020..all must be planeed and book crew,venues ,festivals,blah blah from around  sept 2019 ,announced dec 19 etc 
its crazy work for all those people.niothing is left on luck.we are talkin g about profeccionals in all levels,and the bands,promoters,concxert venues,ticket ventors etc

Just to compare and contrast, I think these were the timelines in 2013/14:
September 2012 - first rumours of PJ playing Wrigley 
January 2013 - Wrigley/London, ON announced
In January or February 2013 someone posted on the board that they saw a notebook left opened at a Soundgarden show by the soundboard that there was a list of east coast USA dates in October and a few west coast dates ending in December in Seattle (this turned out to be mostly true)
April 2013 - Voodoo Fest in New Orleans announced noted that it would be the last date on a planned tour
April 2013 - first rumours of holds for the fall tour (I believe Pittsburgh and Dallas)
July 2013 - tour announced
December 2013 - holds in a couple cities for May 2014 are posted here (Toronto and St Louis I think).  Tour doesn’t end up getting booked.  It was also heavily rumoured that Pearl Jam was supposed to headline Lollapalooza and ended up pulling out.
March 2014 - single for Future Days went to radio with note of tour dates to follow
April 2014 - Austin City Limits festival announced with note more dates to follow
April or May 2014 - holds leak out for Omaha and maybe another show.
Late May 2014 - October tour announced 

All that said, I think it’ll still be quiet for a couple months if there’s to be a fall tour.  Anything before that would surprise me unless there’s a one-off like Woodstock with Ed booked June/July and assuming he does Ohana in September.

You must be a Ben Harper fan? I guess I am not.

For what it's worth, I very rarely like "guest singers" and Indifference is definitely one I need to hear EV - and EV only - sing. No one else can do it justice.

I want to like the duet, but I just can’t.   Some were better than others.
