  1. Actually....the tours AFTER 2006 have been something less than great IMO....2007 (15 gigs),2008 (13), 2009 (32) and 2010 (26) were all mini tours.The 2008 tour was 3 weeks in June of 08.I couldnt complain,since the band played 2 fantastic shows at MSG that June, that I attended.But,what was the point of going on the road,for only 13 gigs in 2008 ?

    2011 though, was a bit shocking,as the band promoted their PJ20 release,they didnt even play in Seattle,and havent since 2009.Only 2 gigs in the US, at Alpine,and that was in September.Again,a mini tour.They went to Canada,and South America.Thats fine.But,I would rather have the band in the studio.

    I know Matt is back with Soundgarden,and they all have families,I understand that.Again,Im not complaining,it just seems a bit odd to tour for such a short time.I would rather see the band take the full year off,or even 2 years,regroup,do solo projects,then release a new album and do a full proper tour...



  4. I think PJ might be at a point in their career/lives where a full-scale tour may never happen again. They may rather just go "full out" for 15 to 20 shows instead of grinding it out for months at a time.


  5. Love that show.Id say the Drop in the Park show and the Boston gig from 04.12.94,IMO,are really vault releases as well ....great gigs that I play on a regular basis....


  6. well they did side projects lately -- who more who less ..

    Eddie - Ukulele stuff and touring
    Matt - Soundgarden (not just a "side project")
    Stone - Brad
    Jeff - Tres Mts
    Mike - collaborations around

    i'm completely agree with you though .. i'm not a big fan of these mini-tours .. not meaning the performances of course but the concept itself



  7. of course your opinion about that statement doesn't count .. too much subjective hehehe

    kidding
  8. Don't you have all TEN 2011 Canadian tour shows, Ronnie? And three Brazilian ones? You must sort of enjoy them, no? It's cheaper anyway.

    "sad" but true looking back at the last 5(-6) years
    2009-10 are quite emblematic years .. when they were supposed to promote Backspacer
    4-5 shows in Europe and before the release of the album which came out in the middle of the US tour
    and 2010 almost the same.
    they're not much about promoting stuff but if they don't do a proper tour when they release a lbum ... when they should do?
