In a recent interview with SPIN, Guitarist Stone Gossard said:
"Everyone’s almost 60 years old. So if you want us to keep doing this, we can’t do it the same way we did over the last 10 years or so. The length is gonna be a little bit shorter in general, but there will still be a lot of variety and we’re still going to take chances. We just might do that in different ways… It’s not going to be a marathon every night, because we just can’t do that. Ed and Matt in particular are physically doing so much on stage.”
While the shows may be shorter, Gossard expressed excitement for the upcoming tour, admitting that the band may even have some surprises up their sleeves. “I’m excited,” he said. “I think everybody is, and our goal is to play a lot of new stuff. So, listen to the record, everybody. Know the material! We’re gonna play it. We’ll have some new production too. We’re working on something right now, so it will be a little bit of a different show.”
Gossard continued, “We’ve been so fortunate that our fans have been so open to our whims and experimentations, even if sometimes they wish we’d play ‘Jeremy’ and instead we play a B-side not very well (laughs). They’ve grown to understand and even appreciate that.”
