    Where's everyone staying for the United Center shows?  I know there isn't much for hotels close to the United Center.
    Marriott at the UIC hospital campus just South of the Blue line station. 
    Same!

    I don't know much about Chicago - I was told to stay north of Roosevelt - preferably near the river.  I went for Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/North Loop/Michigan Ave. It wasn't recommended to me to be too close to UC. Would love to hear more about the area and better options tho.
    If you're not used to cities, that's probably decent advice about UC. If you are, you can take it with a grain of salt. It's not the best area but it's not some hellscape or something either. Probably not even in the top 20 dangerous neighborhood in Chicago. Now, it's a different story if you cross I-90 to the west from there. 

    Anywhere within a few miles of United Center is going to be fine. Realistically, these days, if you stay north of 55 you're going to be less likely to have a problem than you would be to crash your car and die on the way to the grocery store. 
    This is not true........anywhere within a few blocks of the UC is going to be fine.  If you head west past Western Ave(about 5 blocks west of UC), it won't be good.  There won't be anyone walking from the concert and it's definitely somewhere you don't want to be.
    If I'm reading correctly, this is a good Marriott to stay at?

    Reviews are not good says it's under construction 
    Hopefully, by September the construction will be completed. That gives them 5 months.

    The 9 we know plus 1 in each New England state
    Wait, are we still counting Connecticut a New England state? Didn't we kick them out awhile ago?

    We'll let them back in briefly for the purpose of a Hartford show.

    Come October, tho... GTFO.

    I refuse to believe that "big things" is a 9 show tour over 5 cities. Or 10 shows in 6 cities if you want to count Ed's performance at Ohana. It either has to mean more tour dates or an album. 

    But it's not like this band has ever said "hey, here are some shows we're doing in September, but don't worry, we're doing a bunch more after that!"  I suppose a new album would be considered big news too. But you'd think there would be more shows if that were the case. I can't foresee a scenario where only a percentage of shows get leaked and not the rest? So weird
    Someone mentioned that dimi said it would be 15 shows. If that's the case, then yes, it is weird that we only know of 9.
    I thought he said between 10-13.

    This could be anything. Big things to them does not always mean Pearl Jam.  They will let Ohana sell for a bit.  If ACL is real, we have a few weeks before any announcement.  Signed, and old PJ fan that believes nothing until it is announced and I would not be surprised if nothing happens. Been there too many times.

    reasonable guess is we're pretty close (within April?) considering they were writing code for the tour posts on the website.

    Madison between St. Paul and Chicago would make some sense too.

    Backspacer was released on 09/20/09. I wouldn't mind getting all of it for Austin N2 on 09/19🙏

    Or at least some of the stuff from PJ20 which was released on 09/19/11
    Backspacer isn’t my favorite record but I don’t know why they don’t play Got Some more. A quick punchy fun tune has lots of potential uses in a setlist.

    I would honestly prefer a mid song like that over the campiness of “I was there for one of the 3 Sweet Lew performances.”

    Got Some kicks ass. So does GSMF. 

    IMO, Johnny Guitar is the only weak track, but I'm sure Ed wouldn't mind belting it out one more time for ol' Johnny.

    Hope I'm wrong, but thinking the announcement is coming on the 20th since all is quiet from the greek, santos, every radio station/venue social media.
