It's just speculation now and I wouldn't get too excited yet. We've learned band member comments don't always come to pass. But I wouldn't be surprised if he does play a couple shows on his own other than Bridge. Tough ticket to get but I would certainly try to get a copy of a boot such an appearance would produce. That said I fully expected a couple other shows around Lollapalooza.

"Is Eddie Vedder planning a solo tour? According to a story in the Los Angeles Times, it’s possible. The Pearl Jam frontman has completed what amounts to his first solo album by way of the soundtrack to the forthcoming Sean Penn film Into the Wild (read our review of the LP here, and watch the video review in today’s New Music Tuesdays report here). The possible tour would have Vedder playing much more intimate venues than he’s used to with Pearl Jam. “If you surf fifty-foot waves all the time, you can’t try too many new things, because fifty-foot waves are kind of life and death,” Vedder, an avid surfer, explained. “Playing big shows is like that. So you want to take on some smaller waves to rework or refine what you do, and then take it back to the big surf.” Hard-core Pearl Jam fans need not worry that Vedder entertaining the idea of a solo jaunt signals the end of the band, however. “We’ve been a group for a long time,” the singer said. “And we will continue to be so, I hope, for a really long time.” The official comment from Vedder’s reps is that he has no official plans to tour alone."

Seeing an Ed solo show would be awesome, but I think the novelty would wear off rather quickly. I'm not saying it'd be bad, but I couldn't foresee him changing the setlist up too much between shows, which would make it kinda boring after a bit.

I hear you.
I'd do a few shows, whatever is local or easy and I have friend to go visit to.. but not a whole tour.
that said, I wasn't supposed to do half the shows I did in 2006, so never know

unless you go to every single show how is that boring at all?
additionally, here's a list of songs he has played on solo occasions + songs that he could play on solo occasions (and i probably forgot some):
4/20/2002 All Along The Watchtower Arc Around The Bend Bee Girl Better Man Blue Red Grey Broken Hearted Can't Keep Come Back Dead Man Don't Be Shy Driftin' Driven To Tears Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town Far Behind Gimme Some Truth Gone Goodbye Growin' Up Guaranteed Hard Sun Here's To The State Of Mississippi I Am A Patriot I Am Mine I Believe In Miracles I Can't Explain I Don't Wanna Grow Up I Used To Work In Chicago I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend I Won't Back Down Immortality Indifference Last Kiss Long Nights Long Road Longing To Belong Love Boat Captain Lukin Man Of The Hour Masters Of War Naked Eye No Ceiling No More No Surrender Off He Goes Parting Ways People Have The Power Photographs Picture In A Frame Porch Rise Rockin' In The Free World Romanza Satellite Save You Setting Forth So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star Society Sometimes Soon Forget Squeeze Box The Kids Are Alright The Seeker The Wolf This Boy Throw Your Arms Around Me Throw Your Hatred Down Thumbing My Way Tonight You Belong To Me Trouble Tuolumne Walking The Cow You're True You've Got To Hide Your Love Away End Of The Road

well im an idiot
but i dont think watchtower would work well w/o the band, or maybe i just love the full band version
you're just too used to DM's version . in essence it's a very simple song with only 3 chords.
yeah i know how to play it, but i dont think it will sound good w/o improv guitar leads inbetween the verses unless he plays the harmonica in between the verses (i think dylan does this)
or he does DM's version by himself, that might be awesome
