Bruce only has to get one person to agree to a tour. Himself. Same for Dave Matthews. Their bands are going to follow them wherever they go. Pearl Jam feels more like a democracy and there won’t be a tour unless all 5 members are in agreement.

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.

I was at a recent Bruce show and counted at least 18 musicians in the production.

Austin Hotel Indigo booked multiple times here. Once thru Southwest/Booking.com to get 15k Rapid Reward points at $600 for the 2 nights. Another time with my company's corp code for $500 and same day cancellation.

Recommendations nearby:
Bar 508 Mezcalerita
Marinara Miracles (upstairs at Valhalla)
Seven Grand / Las Perlas

Excuse me, "Mezcalrita" 👀 I'm there.

Looks liken I'll be seeing a lot of you in St. Paul. Been almost 10 years since they've been here. Should be fantastic.

Leave two good tickets for each St Paul show for me so I can see you all there too! 😂

Wyndham Noblesville appears to be sold out but Holiday inn still has rooms. Price is going up though.

Anyone ever do the campsite across the street? Seems to be a big thing!

I did in 2010. It's convienient.........that's about it. I used to travel here for concerts all the time and camp and it was fun, I was younger. When I went in 2010 it had changed a lot since the last time I went. The area is developed now, it used to be just cornfields. So.......if you don't mind camping in what I remember as basically someone's front yard, it is good for tailgating, walk to show and walk back after.

The area has exploded even over the last 5 years. The Venue is surrounded by warehouses and shopping centers now. Corn fields to one side maybe. I live in the area and love it but the Indiana “charm” is gone from the area in my opinion.

I live in Indiana, I don't find much charm here.

Indiana “Charm” = farmland/cornfields 😂

Granted, Bruce's band is a bit overloaded with extras. But the core crew, Steve, Patti, Max, Jake, etc. are integral.

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.

How about a Des Moines or Moline show between St Paul and Chicago?

Hey now, if anyone's getting a show between St Paul and Chicago, it's Alpine!

estarr31 · April 2023

Hmm.. that Cameron quote says a lot

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'm good either way. As long as I get to stock up on Spotted Cow.

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!
