  • 224. Future Pearl Jam: Studio or Tour Only?

    01:19:05||Ep. 224
    Jason and Paul welcome "I Am No Guide" author, Brian "Stip" Stipelman and Sheehan Perera from Concertpants back to the show for a hypothetical question -- one that The Beatles had to navigate themselves: if the band felt compelled to choose one direction moving forward should it be to continue making records in the studio and abstain from touring or forego making new music to focus on playing live concerts? The Beatles chose the former. With the band getting on in age is that a question Pearl Jam may pose itself? The guys debate and discuss.Pre-order Stip's book "I Am No Guide: Pearl Jam Song by Song" HEREPlease consider donating to our September 2024 fundraiser benefitting EB Research HEREBecome a PatronWatch Us on YouTubeFollow Us on InstagramFollow Us on FacebookFollow Us on Twitter
