    How does anyone really know why DMB still tours heavily, or why PJ doesn't?

    We are speculating, based on our observations.

    Freshman year in college and it was all DMB and every douche bag who could play guitar was strumming some song from Crash. Same year as Yield and it was all doom and gloom then that PJ was irrelevant.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Sad as it sounds. We will never get the consistent touring and album releases like in the past. Which is sad because a band like Dave Matthews Band still put out albums and tour consistently every summer. Dave Matthews and band are all multi millionaires and all have families and kids but they tend to realize that being on that stage and entertaining their millions of fans comes first and still seem to love what they do. Shame that our band doesn’t seem to have that fire and desire to do the same thing anymore. Shit we won’t even get vinyl singles anymore and deep magazine, what is that? I love this band and it hurts me that they seem to have lost the connection with each other and their fans. Shit. Tour three months a year and have nine months off for side projects and family time. Way more free time than us working regular jobs that pay for the merch/ tickets/ albums will ever dream of until if and when we can retire. Sorry. I’m just ranting and miss my band. Peace and love. Peace and love. 
    FYI, *Please Note: The Ten Club Single has been discontinued beginning for 2019 Memberships. The Band is still making the Deep Magazine for the fan club.
    That could be argued.  They're two fan club singles and two deep magazines behind..... one could argue they don't :)

    In all seriousness... I still think we have good days ahead.  I always figured the band would get older and the output might slow down.   We saw it happen to all the other big rock bands that had multi-decade careers.  I still think we'll get great live shows (even if they are rarer).    My flip side, is given how much 90s music didn't survive, that the band that's been my favourite one since I was 14 keeps on truckin'.   Sure the albums and live shows are a little sparse, but I know I'll get more.  What were the odds my band was the one that survived.. I feel pretty lucky.

    This will never be a good take. 
    Fans before family? :confused: Oh, please tell me that was a typo. :fearful:

    The only reason I would say the best days are over is because their tour schedule has shrunken so much when compared to past decades. I think they are still on fire when they play live we just need them to get out and tour!

    Good to know PJ fans aren't the only ones that cry about setlists.  That dude complaining that it's the same old stuff for his 53rd show!  LOL.

    And oh my goodness the show ended at 10:45, not 11:00!  Come on DMB, he paid for those 15 minutes.  What a ripoff!! :rofl:

    Simply thinking about the Orthodontics bill you are about to receive should help to quickly stifle your laugh.

    If you really think about it, the last "large scale" tour was 2006.  And Riot Act in 2002 was the last album they put out without making us wait longer than 2 years (+4 to Pearl Jam, +3 Backspacer, +4 Lightning Bolt, approaching +6 now).  None of this is all that new.  It's been happening for the last 13-17 years.  But for some reason, the cancelation of the fan club vinyl single was the tipping point and now "Pearl Jam is no longer a band" in the eyes of many.  I agree with PJNB, they are still on fire when they play live.  It's just that the touring isn't as vast, and it hasn't been for a while. 
    We'll get new music when they are ready.  I personally would rather them take their time than rush just for the sake of putting something out, and then have it lack in quality.

    It does. My bed is wicked comfortable. And it’s hot outside. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.
