1. “I think if you look at the average amount of time Pearl Jam has been on the road over the past 10 years, it’s probably been about six to eight weeks a year, which in the grand scheme of rock bands is little. It’s not very much at all. We’ve gotten very good at knowing how much we want to tour and finding an amount that keeps us healthy and happy. There will be a record out soonish, it’s almost done, and I’m sure there will be more touring coming in the next year. But there’s a good balance. We’re super fortunate in Pearl Jam to have such loyal fans in terms of people who really want to come and see us play.
    Such an enormous part of our band is playing live and going on the road, but luckily we can make the choice to not do it so much that it kills us. So much of Pearl Jam’s energy comes from the actual joy of its members when we’re feeling good. If we have good shows and people feel something from those shows, it’s because we don’t feel like we’re chained to this thing. We’re enjoying it with the audience. If we can keep that going, that’s good for us long term.”
