The # 34 jersey had absolutely nothing to do with Walter Payton or him being from Chicago or the Bears I guess

He specifically said it was for 34 years 

The first time he sported that jersey was during the 2007 tour:

This year I mean. He said it at a show 

I got that I just wanted to share some extra info

Festivals are better than nothing but it’s not something I’d be pumped for.  

I wouldn't be so sure of that when it comes to Jazzfest. Both Jazzfest shows they've played have been special in their own right. But the setlist from 2016, which is the last time they played jazzfest really stands out: 

It Happened Today (R.E.M song, @ tape as band walked out after being introduced by Steve Gleason) 
1. State Of Love & Trust (this is the only time outside of ONE Lolla 92 show that State has opened a show)
2. Arms Aloft (Joe Strummer cover. played twice that year, both at festivals, only played 17 times) 
3. Mind Your Manners 
4. God's Dice (dusted off for the first time in 28 shows)
5. Setting Forth 
6. Corduroy 
7. Nothingman (ummm 2 vitaology bangers back to back, and imagine hearing Nothingman at like 5:30 in the afternoon as the suns going down) 
8. In Hiding (I mean come on? first time this tour after a 16 show absence) 
9. Even Flow
10. Sirens
11. Unthought Known 
12. Long Road (Mid-set Long Road request fulfillment from ed and the band, but holy cow how could you not love a sun-out Long Road at like 6pm) 
13. Daughter (no tag, but then going directly into the next song is a wild lineup of songs) 
14. Of The Earth (one of the last times it was played... my whole point in making this was you never know what you'll get when it comes to PJ setlists.)
15. Last Exit (i mean are you not sold yet? Eddie and the band seemed to be very nostalgic for Vitalogy on the day)
16. Porch

17. Go
18. Inside Job (Like WHAT?! but it's only a festival right?)
19. Given To Fly
20. Lightning Bolt 
21. Betterman (to round out the rest of the Vitalogy bangers, with a Save It For Later tag of course) 
22. Do The Evolution 
23. Alive 

24. The Real Me (being played for the first time in 31 shows, and with Big Sams Funky Nation on horns.... come on!) 
25. Rockin' In The Free World (with Chad Smith on drums)

Got Some and Garden were scratched for time from this set, and not swapped or replaced. 

(and they still played more songs than they were averaging for this year  )

Oh and for all those people who complained about the Dark Matter video wall behind the band, Jazzfest surely will not have it. So you'll have at least one Dark Matter show with no visuals, truly meaning they can play whatever they want.

So, no PJ25, no PJ30 (of course, CORONA, you know), and now PJ35.... I don't think so. 

For those that are anti-PJ35, or pessimistic, or whatever, then what do you think/hope that "something special for year 35" could be?

Sphere. 

I love it.  And I'm on board for sure, as I live close to Vegas.  But there's a surprising number of people who oppose the idea.  I'm very interested to see what kind of visuals that they come up with.

The more I think about it, the more I think it'll probably happen. Will just be closer to what Phish did than a full residency

Indications from people who typically are well connected, there are no current plans for a residency in Vegas or in Seattle.  Maybe someday, but more wishful thinking at this point.

I thought reports were from people that attended Ohana and had spoken to someone on pj's crew that the plan was for a short US tour in the first half of the year and a short residency somewhere in the 2nd half??

I thought they celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the band at Vegas 2000 by playing Chloe/Crown for the first time…. 

Also he’s been wearing 34 since Donny J was found guilty on 34 counts  

They played Crown.

I really want to say they played Chloe at later shows, but Chloe/Crown together didn't happen until...I'm not checking notes here... Toronto 9/11/2011.
