    I do not have the patience to read the entire two posts. Hearing Ed sing wishlist with a beer in my hand, my toes in the sand, surrounded by surf and PEOPLE after being stuck inside for 18 months was as magical as any other moment this band has given me.

    So, there were rumors of Eddie @ Telluride back in November. And one of the highly rumored cities for PJ in September is Noblesville. Yesterday on my way to work, SXM was playing the Telluride 2016 show. On my way home from work, they were playing the Noblesville 2000 show. It could be a coincidence, but......

    The band tours so little because we all show up when they do.  They take the fans for granted.  We buy the merch. Fill up the arenas.   Beg for them to play.   

    Seems like a one sided relationship.

    Agreed. “They don’t owe us nothing blah blah blah” yea I know. But it is what it is.

    My belief that an announcement was imminent stemmed from me incorrectly buying into the rumors of Fenway shows this year. With those rumors dead and buried, and if it is late summer/September for shows, we might not hear anything until May.

    haha 5% odds msg every time and resale markets at $800+ to sit amongst the rafters.even Camden was a very tough ticket if you needed a seat.  They just don’t play a lot of shows at all, and when they do, they hit a lot of small markets. So major markets with enormous demand always very underrepresented, except socal in recent times.
    There were actually two seats next to mine at Camden that went unclaimed the entire show. Gave our row some extra space to spread out.

    I would strongly recommend a polyamorous relationship with like 50-100 other bands. You won't miss the ones moving at a slower pace as much.

    Same thing happened with me in Nashville.  The 2 seats next to mine didn't show.  Loved the extra room.  They were on the aisle too!

    Ha.  Agree.  I will go to more PJ shows but if they called it quits tomorrow I would be bummed but not upset.  Been fortunate to see a lot of shows.  

    Was just thinking of analogies.  The son that only visits the family when they need money.

    Obviously I am kidding and PJ isn’t some deadbeat spouse or family member.  Ed does say often how they are surprised every time they tour that the fans still show up.  Grateful. Well, maybe next time he says that think about why.  They know they don’t tour much or release music that often.

    That pretty much sums it up for me too. A New England Pearl Jam date or three is always exciting but I've got plenty of other shows I'm excited about until the next time they drag their bones this way.

    It's crazy because they have never been a touring band.  Even during their most popular time they barely toured.  (I'm looking at your 1993-95!) They haven't played more than 35 shows in a year since 2006!
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I have such a relationship. I already have 27 other shows booked this year.

    But it doesn't help. I want Pearl Jam more than any of them. :(

    A band known for epic live shows,... and they've never been a 'touring band',  .... sad but true

    So, at this point, can we all agree that there will be no PJ shows before 7/14? I have a sizeable flight credit that expires that day. I've been holding onto it in hopes of some PJ dates. But it seems as though none will be forthcoming (at least by then).

    I would be surprised by a PJ show before that date.
