    I think the Milwaukee crowd is fighting for a show between St. Paul & Chicago as well. 
    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! 
    Untrue! I fucking love it!

    Where's everyone staying for the United Center shows?  I know there isn't much for hotels close to the United Center.

    I find it unlikely they’re gonna fire up the Pearl Jam Touring  machine for just five cities… I think Vegas and Sacramento after Texas and maybe a few shows before Saint Paul?

    Got a great deal at Sable for under $200 a night, free cancel. (it's a Hilton brand on Navy Pier). Prices have gone up slightly though.

    I agree with this, even without evidence to the contrary. Just seems kind of out of left field to just do two nights in a few places instead of the traditional arena run of 12-14 shows. Still possible that some of these dates are just holds.

    Is 5 cities really "Big Things", still think there's gotta be more going on.  Multiple night 2s also seems strange.  All very odd, hopefully clear soon.
    COuld be special "Set Lists"  Like, playing albums from beginning to end..... or "Unplugged"?
    Agreed. Maybe there's something to most of the cities having 2 shows but it also being a short tour. Could be that they test out a new concert structure in September.
    I get this feeling.  A sort of test run.  Like they can't do 35 song 3 hour + gigs anymore or don't want to based on what we saw in 2022. 

    Moving most cities to 2 nights - avoid the repeats in same city and make it into like one show over two days. 

    Will be interesting to see if they go with the 2 night ticket that seems to be the new thing Metallica did. Essentially, the old gig is now 2 gigs but instead of 3 hours we get 4 hours 20 minutes (see what i did there?) - they make more money we get more songs. A win win.

    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.  

    This is a very good point.

    They did so in 2018.  4 cities, if you can call Missoula a city.  7 shows.

    But that was spread over a month with each city being billed as its own special occasion. If there is some similar branding coming for this tour it might help to make sense of things.

    I don’t know what is so difficult to make sense of. They’re a band that doesn’t love to tour, but they’re putting some shows out there for the fans and obviously to make a few bucks.  Spending about 3 weeks in September.  It’s exactly what they did last year, with a similar format to 2018.  Sounds good to me.

    I would say it sold ok... but was also in a glut of California shows including two in Oakland and one in Fresno, it also only had 2 months to sell. If a show were on this leg it would sell much better, Sac shows are in high demand and groups like the Foos and Greta both sold well of not sold out... Sac would be a great stop this time around..

    Exactly. Not to mention 2018 were stadium shows.
