Being in Pearl Jam is no longer a job. Its a luxury. When you are older, established and set for life financially, you do what you want when you want to do it. It is really that simple. You can't compare Pearl Jam to Bruce or any other band. They are different human beings with different values and personalities. We can only hope that being in the band, playing shows, and making new music is still important to all members. I think it is.

I don't think it is or they'd be doing it, and it's more of a job for them now than before because there's no more passion, desire or hunger to create, they just cash in when they need a paycheck...

Aren't we just chewing on our own tails at this point? We've covered it all, their kids, their money, their motivation, others. I have to follow this thread but let's agree to go away till there is something happening. With peace and love, nothing appears to be happening as far as we know. Dont comment on my post so I dont get the alert .

Chicago and Boston are the only constants from this band in the last 5 years. NY is getting a drought and so did Seattle before that. I am itching for a new tour and this year not having one is depressing to say the least. Hoping for in the very least 2020 is a 2013 year.
NY is a drought . . . . HOUSTON we have a problem. 4th Largest city in the US, two airports in the nations top 15. 3rd largest outdoor amphitheater, NBA arena, MLB Park, etc. no shows since 2003. That’s a f’ing drought. TX Jammers, can I get an Amen!

Yep. It’s a joke.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

In the band's defense, they don't really play anywhere, so I wouldn't take it personally

Which begs the question, if they only tour every 3rd year (much less often for specific locations) does it make sense to charge an annual fee for a club where the most valuable benefit is access to tickets?
If Ed were doing a US tour perhaps I'd see the light on that question.

I think if you take ticket access out of the equation, analog is still worth it and digital is not.

You like the forum access or the merch?
The merch. T-shirt or other item + bootleg + Deep for $40 isn't bad. Digital is just the ability to purchase other stuff.
Thinking in the abstract by the way. For me, personally, if ticket access went away I'm not sure I'd re-up at all with the vinyl gone.
If PJ doesn't tour Australia in 2020 .. I will be selling all my music and merch and leaving the Ten Club. They seem happy to travel all the way to Europe on a regular basis, so why not Australia?
Oh and please sign the petition if you want an Australia/New Zealand tour in 2020.

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Now try reading that without singing it to the tune of Adele.
Rumor has it.
Here are some rumors
