Didn't read the whole thread but just wondering.......they couldnt just get somebody else to play Uke / Guitar? Guitar Tech? McCready? Stone? Somebody?
Might not be the show as originally planned, but at least it would go on.
They possibly could have thought of this as a backup plan earlier?
I don't think that many people would want to see a show like that, with a gimpy Ed and some other person doing half the work, with no practice between the two of them. Plus, you may be underestimating Eddie's effectiveness as a musician!! Not just anyone can play the uke or anything else to make Eddie's solo stuff what it is. Eddie can't do his solo show. You can't just find someone else to do half a solo show... that's not what people bought tix for.
They coud've even turned it into Storytime with Eddie, and i wouldve still been happy.
reading this thread makes my head hurt. nobody knows the situation or events that led up to the re-scheduling. travelling especially to a concert is always risk vs reward. if you have non-refundable flights/hotels, etc go and enjoy yourself. see other cities besides the one you live in. have a good time on yoru vacation and make the best of what's around. #firstworldproblems

Pretty much what I've been thinking. Its only a gig at the end of the day, if someone has booked a 3 day vacation at Vegas for example for the gigs they should still go!

There is always the chance that this is a total sham and that Eddie didn't actually get HURT at fantasy camp but rather signed a Minor League deal with the Cubs. I haven't heard any denials of that, and heck -- have you SEEN that pitching staff? Eddie throwing LEFT-handed would be an improvement. Someone get Tim Kurkjian on the line so we can get to the bottom of this.
Plus, the rescheduled dates begin in October. Coincidence? We all know the Cubs won't be playing in October...
michael jordan COULDN'T do it. he's a one trick pony.
Aww come on man, he like .202 one year...not bad! ...he did say "minor league deal"
Don't speak ill of the greatest athlete of our generation. Jordan had to reshape his physique from a basketball body to a baseball one.
glad i am not traveling to jazz fest just to see eddie v
the live music in that town for the last 4 days of the festival is incredible+
plus and and and and....
Big Al Carson live at the Funky Pirate. NOLA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPzaFMMu6Bk
etc
Dont worry, I was just kidding around. I have great respect for him trying his luck with baseball. For not playing regularly up until his debut, he did rather well. I agree, likely one of the greatest athletes of our generation. (and Ed of course )
If it was Mike or Stone I would be all in. Anybody else...I would be unsure.
Okay... it would he a total train wreck though. Ed's the only one who even plays the uke, and his connection to the instrument is part of what makes those songs what they are...
I think everyone will wish Ed well and here's to a speedy and full recovery
Imagine the posters printed already?
Definitely do wish him a very speedy recovery - how good would it be to get your hands on some of those posters? Highly collectable one would think!
was just going to say that
they'll be highly sought after if they've already been printed..and they must have been
i want some too!
peace,

Yeah, but Eddie wouldn't ... you can't just Slap together some new duo act in five days like that folks. Eddie has some integrity; he's not about to offer that up to people he believes want to see him do his solo show at its best. Besides, these kinds of injuries can be rough. It may not just be that he can't play well. He may not be able to move without pain for all we know. But anyway, I'm surprised people actually think he should go ahead with some random act knocked together in a couple days while he's injured and doing intensive physical therapy! Wtf is gong on here?? The man needs to work on getting better and people still want him to improvise some crappy show and tour with that instead?? :?

Disappointed that we won't be seeing Eddie in Phoenix next weekend but still looking forward to a weekend away (with good doses of shopping and sunshine!)
Get well soon EV! See you in 6 months.

Exactly. Back injuries are really unpredictable. If a back injury is affecting ones arms or legs, it can be very bad (and scary). I think worse than performing might be the actual traveling when your back is all fucked up.

I was not advocating that he play with anyone else and I don't disagree that he should not. I was simply responding to the idea that people would be upset/disappointed if he performed with a stand-in guitar player. Mike and Eddie unplugged and on tour would blow my mind. Eddie and some unknown probably would not.
Hey Eddie...
Get well, bud... not for my sake... so I can use this pair of tickets I bought and the hotel reservatons in my name and shit... get well for your sake. So you can use that right arm to paddle out past the break, play that uke (and guitars... always remember.... guitars), toss those axes at that target and... most importantly... to hoist your kids up over your head and give your wife the hugs she deserves.
We're all pulling for you, friend. Even if we lose some cash and mix... that shit can always be re-earned. The important thing is your health.
peace... love... surf...

I can offer some free massage therapy if Ed is interested...
In all seriousness, I am super bummed about the postponement of Eddie's shows but his health comes first! He needs to take care of himself so he can keep on generating awesome music. I am certain he feels awful changing the dates on us... I can guarantee that when he comes back (all better) he is going to BLOW US AWAY!
Heres to wishing Eddie a speedy recovery! *hugs*

I was listening to the PJ Ottawa 2011 concert this morning, and something Eddie said really jumped out at me:
"If you live long enough, shit's gonna happen. The good news is, you're still alive. The bad news is, shit's gonna happen. So it's really how you deal with it". Amen to that- sending thoughts and prayers to Eddie for a full recovery!
I highly doubt we are gonna see any more PJ dates this year. If Ed is injured enough to call his solo tour off, the Europe dates are also in jeopardy at this point. Even if he is 100% healthy and good to go for the dates scheduled, he isnt gonna overdue it and book the rest of his open dates without any breaks. I doubt they are even going to announce a PJ21 now. Just not the right thing to do. I wouldnt want to throw down 2k to book that trip to have it postponed? Would you?

Eddie, I hope you get better. Your music does so much for me.
And what is with all of the bitching about moaning about the postponement? Haven't you people ever taken a day off of work due to illness? I feel for the people who had made big plans but I have one word for you:
