Well, they have to play the west coast - they owe it to the fans in Seattle and all over California. Also, they are a big deal in Philly and the DC area - and I don't think that Jay-Z festival counts.
Hopefully they'll cross the border and play a show in Toronto. I'm okay with just one - there'll be too much pressure (provided by some U2starters) on me to go to both shows but also to NOT to go to both (that'll be done by my wife, obviously. In any case, I hope they don't decide to play Buffalo instead.

Pearl Jam Announces Two Shows in July 2013
January 23 2013
We are excited to announce two special Pearl Jam live performances to take place in London, Ontario and at Chicago’s Wrigley Field in July 2013. Both evenings will be An Evening with Pearl Jam; there will not be an opening band for either performance date.
The two show dates are:
Tues, July 16 - London, Ontario Budweiser Gardens
Fri, July 19 - Chicago, Illinois at Wrigley Field
*Fall Tour dates in the US will be announced in the coming months.
Public Sale tickets:
Chicago IL – Sat, Feb 9th 10am local time at www.tickets.com
London, ON – Sat, Feb 9th 10am local time at www.budweisergardens.com/events, by phone at 1.866.455.2849, or in person at the Box Office or Ticket Outlets.
I'd like to see what other dates, if any, come out.
We'll see. If I do, the decision will likely be made closer to the date (i.e., I won't go after the tickets in February and would resort to scalpers if necessary).
