Kind of an interesting way it’s working tonight

So there’s no signs for a GA lineup or entrance or anything. But if you ask a worker, they tell you GA enters at a certain exit. Go to that entrance, and there’s 10-15 people there waiting.

Every 20 mins or so, a guy comes out with wristbands and checks your ID, ticket and vaccine card. The he gives a wristband and says to come back at 530 to re lineup in order (he said they’re doing 400 “early” GA wristbands)

regular Doors at 6:30

I can’t even explain how great it felt to be around 20,000 screaming fans just as happy to be seeing a show as I was

Really hoping we hear something, anything, from Pearl Jam this week. It’s time.

It was absolutely insane. No reason why PJ can’t do the same. “PJ have more traveling fans” AND!!!?? Fully vaccinated only and if you can’t make it, sit this one out. They don’t need out of country fans to sell out in major markets like MsG.

Agreed, they could do so many things right now and this fall. They just don’t want to.

Im sure it’ll just be another week of total radio silence unfortunately.

Wasn’t referring to the postponed shows. Talking about some new shows this year.

Damn I must of sounded like a dick haha. Sorry for the miscommunication.

That makes more sense. You mentioned MSG, of which they already had an MSG show scheduled, so selling new MSG shows before playing the last one. I think that gets challenging. Also from a planning perspective, when you already owe X amount of shows, and your thinking about adding more, it's gotta stick in your head that things cold go sideways again, and then you owe XX amount of shows. Feels to me like PJ is testing the waters with small commitments for the festivals, will save bigger for later.

Hopefully it's moot issue for us Canadians in the not to distant future. Hopefully I've got my 2nd vaccine in a month or so. Probably by August, the round of 2nd shots will be done. Then hopefully the border opens.

Weston1283 · June 2021

I’m all for moving the post poned shows to March 2022 to allow for already ticketed people to make it

But, they could announce a 4 night vaccinated only stand in Philly or Seattle today at lunch time today and sell it out in 37 seconds, if they wanted…

I do not want to derail this thread more than it already is but the Foo Fighters are much more of a band than Pearl Jam is at this point. They seem to hang out with each other, are constantly recording. Hell, they are doing a Bee Gees cover EP. As much as it pains me as a super fan, Pearl Jam are a legacy act at this point. They do not want to play shows for whatever reasons and are far from an active band. I think the fire in Ed's belly is gone. I only single out Ed cause the rest of the band seem to be pumping out side projects all the time. Maybe once his children are in college he may be willing to tour more. Who knows.

If you recall… Pearl Jam purposely pulled back from the spotlight 25 years ago. As much as I want them to tour more and release more albums, this is the path they chose starting back then. They aren’t a band that is plugged into the machine, like Foo Fighters. And that’s not a swipe at Dave Grohl… he is running the band the way he wants to. And Pearl Jam has always done what they want and when they want to do it. They only answer to themselves at this point. It’s a little harsh to call them a legacy band when this is the path they’ve always chosen… but with the slower pace you’d expect as a band ages.

NDJeff7 · June 2021

I think the biggest change was after 2006 when their formal record contract was up. After the Avacado album the tours have gotten much smaller and the time between albums much longer. There's no more outside force that gets them into the studio and out promoting, so it seems pretty clear that this is how they want to operate.

It is hard as a Pearl Jam fan watching these other bands do what they are doing this year but I am thankful we are getting at least 2 shows this year. I would never say they are a legacy act though. Them doing the sets that they do at this point in their career tells me this. If you look at the FF's set of the past couple of tours, while stellar shows, the sets are all the same. if PJ copy and pasted as they did and toured more would you be more satisfied? I would not be.

We are in the 2-3 month window of when they like to announce shows for the US. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks they drop something for us to see this fall and then the spring 2022 dates follow soon after.

Weston1283 · June 2021

2017-2021 is a 5 year stretch that will see Pearl Jam play shows in a total of 6 geographic markets in the US. That’s just over 1 a year.

They couldn’t help the pandemic, sure. But from today on, they have a golden opportunity to play shows, return to the live format.

It’s pretty clear how low the desire to tour is when you’ve had 5 years off with a few shows scattered here and there and you still don’t want to capitalize on probably the most demand there has ever been for live music to happen

They aren't running back into arenas because they are being overly cautious in terms of safety. They were the first ones to cancel a tour last year because of being overly cautious about safety. They will be on the back end of bands returning to play arenas, probably spring 2022. It has nothing to do with "not wanting to play shows". They will wait until they are 1000% sure it's totally safe. It's amazing how some fans can totally forget why they do certain things a certain way.....6/30/2000.

Agreed. They had a pretty sizable tour planned prior to COVID and rumors of even more shows in the US and Australia.

There are hundreds of places that are non arenas that can hold a Pearl Jam concert

Yep, and the two they are playing this year are Ed's festival and Danny Clinch's festival, so there's a level of control that they have over the situation that they probably won't get anywhere else.
