    Lol. Respectfully, you mustn't know these bands or their fanbases very well. It'd be exactly the same as Eddie deciding to go on tour without the rest of PJ. It wouldn't be a PJ show. It'd be an Eddie Vedder show. Same with Dave and Bruce.
    I’m not saying those guys would tour without their band (although Bruce has done that plenty). I’m saying Bruce and Dave set the tour schedule and the rest of the band follows. 
    1996: Randall's Island 2  1998: East Rutherford | MSG 1 & 2  2000: Cincinnati | Columbus | Jones Beach 1, 2, & 3 | Boston 1 | Camden 1 & 2 2003: Philadelphia | Uniondale | MSG 1 & 2 | Holmdel  2005: Atlantic City 1  2006: Camden 1 | East Rutherford 1 & 2 2008: Camden 1 & 2 | MSG 1 & 2 (#25) | Newark (EV)  2009: Philadelphia 1, 2 & 4  2010: Newark | MSG 1 & 2  2011: Toronto 1  2013: Wrigley Field | Brooklyn 2 | Philadelphia 1 & 2 | Baltimore  2015: Central Park  2016: Philadelphia 1 & 2 | MSG 1 & 2 | Fenway Park 2 | MSG (TOTD)  2017: Brooklyn (RnR HOF)  2020: MSG | Asbury Park  2021: Asbury Park  2022: MSG | Camden | Nashville  2024: MSG 1 & 2 (#50) | Philadelphia 1 & 2 | Baltimore  2025: Raleigh

    the fact that this page is blowing up over 6 to 8 dates after the tour they put out last year doing only 1 nighters in places like nyc and philly is kinda sad. i dont mean to be a bummer on what is hopefully a "big" announcement day but this band has become all about the easy dollar hence the flat rate 10c membership, the vinyl releases which seam to happen every other month now, and many other examples.... also the age excuse is garbage. for example Bruce has an average band age of 69, tours constantly. DMB has an average age of 56, 45+ shows a summer. Motley crue average age, 64. tours constantly (although they probably shouldnt) lol. PJ? 58.... and we get 1 GOOD tour every what, 3 to 5 years? 2013, 2016, 2022 kinda. they are phoning it in. hell even the shows we do get, 2016 philly was 32 songs. msg 2022 was 24 because they now use openers? come on. I know most of you are gonna s**t all over this post but it needed to be said. hopefully the "BIG THINGS" announcement changes that 
    I always felt the Rolling Stone article about Taylor Hawkins with quotes from Matt and Chad Smith was pretty telling about the desire to scale back a bit. Before Taylor passed, Pearl Jam was still doing "An Evening With Pearl Jam." Sets were pretty long. I think after what happened with Taylor, they rethought things a bit. Matt was quoted in the story:

    Hawkins turned to Cameron for advice, since the Pearl Jam drummer faced similar pressures. “There’s only a handful of guys in our profession that still play this intense high-energy, Nineties rock music,” Cameron says. “We both had to strike that balance of ‘We never want to complain,’ but there are real, specific things about what we do that’s really fucking challenging and really difficult. … It’s like we have to be able to sort of run a marathon every time we hit the stage, just because the music sort of calls for that type of energy.”

    But Pearl Jam took off all of 2019 and 2020. They played a scant four shows in 2021. In that same three-year span, the Foos did more than 70 concerts. “They were the first ones to go back at it super hard, and [Taylor and I] definitely had discussions about that,” Cameron says. “He was a little apprehensive, understandably, just because of all the Covid bullshit that was going on. So there was all these different factors that were weighing on him stepping back into the ring.”

    To me, it feels like they want to play live music as a band for as long as they can and are making decisions about touring to ensure they're taking care of themselves so they'll be able to. I certainly would never fault anyone for that.

    They are doing a night off in 3/4 of the cities that they are doing two shows. Highly unlikely they do a back to back in two different cities but you never know. They did do 3 shows last year in a row but that was different with a festival in the middle. 

    That said I see no shows added from Aug 31-Sep 19th

    I think the Milwaukee crowd is fighting for a show between St. Paul & Chicago as well.

    I live in Indiana, I don't find much charm here. 
    Haha.......I had two job offers to decide on.  One was in northern Indiana, short move from Chicago area, and the other was in Atlanta.  I could not find charm in Indiana either.
    So now I live in a place PJ doesn't play..............hmmm?

    The most important member of the E Street Band is Gary Tallent, who has not moved a single inch on stage in 50 years.

    While they’re all huge parts of the band, none of them are irreplaceable.  None of them are original E Street members.  Patti hasn’t been at any shows lately.  Max is at least the 3rd guy to sit behind the drums in the band.  Steven left the band for most of the 80s and the world didn’t stop spinning.  Jake replaced the formerly irreplaceable Clarence Clemons.  Bruce himself dropped the entire band in the 90s.  I’m not downplaying their importance to Bruce or the fans. They’re a huge part of the success.  But… There’s a reason why the band gave him the nickname “The Boss.”  Bruce runs the whole show and if he says we’re touring then there is a tour.

    Nobody likes my warped interpretation of the Philly image meaning a show in Milwaukee on the basis that the Phillies are in Milwaukee on that weekend.  But I’m standing by it until proven otherwise!
