    PJ should play a Euro-stint of only festivals next summer...I could agree to that only if they play Rockfest in my hometown in Finland 😉

    Id love to see PJ come across to Europe outside the summer months for a proper arena tour.....I know its massively unlikely to happen again but I just think it would be amazing. Festivals bring in a great pay day though and make the tours feasible it seems

    Yes, it would be fun if they mixed it up a bit with the Euro tours.
  • Philip_Ireland, are you planning on attending the Marlay Park show on Saturday? My wife and I are flying to Cork on Wednesday, and we'll be at the Dublin concert. I hope to see you there buddy!

    If Sphere was the only 2025 shows then I would be in. I think they are past due for a Jazzfest show….

    Yeah I would probably be in too for the Sphere. Though I would totally be down for a New England Pearl Jam Road Trip in 2025.
    How about the Croix-Bieue in Moncton where Mickey Mouse and the rest of GnR played? Be a sweet show, the Maritimes are LONG overdue

    And i Bet Mickey Mouse and the rest of GNR still played a longer show than PJ do now  =)

    Indeed! We haven't been yet to Croix-Bieue. Pearl Jam should totally play there.

    If PJ does stint at the Sphere I think they are officially phoning it in. 
    Your use of the word "officially" here suggests that you think that there's some real probability that they are currently, unofficially "phoning it in." Is that what you think?
    Yeah, I do think they are at the end of their touring careers. Do you like to argue just for the sake of arguing?

  • I might agree that they're winding down soon, but Andrew Watt's presence seems to have reinvigorated the band to some degree. As a result, I'm thinking they'll make two more studio albums in addition to Lost Dogs II prior to hanging it up for good in about 2038.

    $250-300 for a Sphere ticket would be an easy pass for me. Vegas is of zero interest to me, PJ or not.  I think the current tix at $175 are a little pricey as well. But that's where we're at.  I limited myself to two shows this year and may even sell one off as the date gets closer.  

    But I'll keep my membership because in the long run, it's the only way you can potentially guarantee yourself a ticket. I don't have it in me to search all day on TM for drops and available tickets. And I'm certainly not spending the markup on other non TM sites.  

    I had 8-10 friends who were excited to go to the Fenway shows in September. Only three of us got tickets (only 3 in the fanclub). The other guys didn't get chosen for the verified fan and have basically given up. They'll check again come late August/early Sept and I'm hopeful for them that there will be face value tickets available.

    Was at that show and it was ok for concerts. I would rather magnetic hill to be honest though that can be a shit show too. 


    Avenir Centre would be the dream show but will never happen. 
    There were efforts years ago to get PJ at Magnetic Hill, along w/ some other big names, Foo, Coldplay, never materialized after the death of the lead visionary of the site and seems like the site pretty much died off. It was a terrible setup that could have had potential to be a premier amphitheatre environment had the work been put in. Almost think that Mag Hill is done, esp w/ the success Dieppe has had with country concerts and the other options in the region now available. Would love to see a true east coast show, Ed's talked about Halifax being a favorite memory a few times, but the arena there is even too small. Outdoors in atlantic canada is unpredictable. I've come to peace w/ a drive to Que/ON for a 'home' show. 

    Think for the Sphere to work, it has to be a two show/two night ticket. Make it a true experience.

    While I completely disagree with your position, the answer to your question is an emphatic yes

    I dont think they would ever "quit" the band.  I think they will continue to play, as wanted, and as needed.  I am thinking they will continue to operate as a group until one of the group is no longer around anymore.  I think they would just accommodate any members.   They only want to do 10 shows?  Fine, we do 10 shows.  We only want to do an EP or something acoustic? fine, we do that.  Maybe they retire some songs due to difficulty to sing or play (Blood, Leash, STBC, etc).  

    But I think they will continue to be Pearl Jam and continue to do some stuff as Pearl Jam until one of them no longer can or isnt around.

    They've been fairly easy to get very close to the show for the first leg, hang tight.

    Ed didn't seem to have much trouble with STBC this go round, I was surprised to hear it twice in 3 shows I made it to. JimFletcherPearlJam said:

    Ed more than the others, I feel like. I have to think the addition of Josh (and Andrew with the Earthlings) are an attempt to infuse new energy into the band, in part so eg Stone or Mike can take a night or two off.

    I just mean, in 10 years from now, or whatever, they might end up hanging up some of the songs.  Either due to playability, or difficulty, or just being tired of playing them for an entire career.  

    I know multiple guys have had multiple injuries recently, so there is always that to consider.  

    I just hope we get get a few more albums and a few more tours to look forward to.  I'm certainly not ready to hang anything up yet!  :)

    I'm not even convinced that would stop them.  Josh seems like he's in there to be a sub if needed :)

    It certainly possible.  That said, if one of the main 5 were to "quit" for whatever reason (or if time caught up with them), I would be surprised if they did anything as Pearl Jam after that.  Maybe some tribute concerts, etc. Not sure.
