also ... our local radio station was doing a PJ set this morning in honor of the HOF, and they have one of their DJs in NYC for the festivities. He'll be posting pics, etc. And mentioned that PJ rented out a building for the afterparty. I'll be on the lookout for pics.

Joey, you should try and find out where that is and try and get in

That party will be the last time all 5 members will be in the same room together.

I could be way off base, but I don't think the band are breaking up or ready to stop touring forever. This could signal the end of "studio Pearl Jam." And honestly, I'm not sure I'd hate that. A world in which Lightning Bolt is the final proper album (before reissues, b-side collections, box sets, etc) but the band continues to play live doesn't sound very far fetched or ultimately unappealing to me.

Of course, I love their studio work. And I'll miss the feeling of anticipation for the next Pearl Jam album. But I won't be heartbroken. I will however be shocked and disappointed if this is actually the end of the band, touring and all. I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

For a long time I prepared myself that PJ would (should?) call it quits when the band members started hitting age 50. Well that started about 5 years ago and goddammit, I am nowhere near ready.

If Springsteen, Petty, the Stones, etc., can keep doing it ... why can't Pearl Jam? As long as it doesn't become a super lame spectacle (like Aerosmith), they can continue being respectable and drawing crowds for 10 more years, can't they? Give me two more albums. Then I will officially be ready to let this all go. But I'm not ready yet.

Buddy Guy still rocks at 80..... but yeah, some bands definitely stick around way past their time

[Bammer]

I'm so glad he's doing this instead of neil young

Without seeing any of it yet, I wholeheartedly agree. Definitely for the better.

[The Argonaut]

Yeah, Dave is doing well.

[PHATJ]

Me too. God, me too.

"celebrity is nice to another celebrity's son" is kind of a dumb story, though.
