Amazing show and great energy. Really impressed how he can still do it at that age.
For sure! And Billy and Ralph, even older. Both are 80, 2 years Neil's senior!
I said it before but we're blessed to still have Neil, Billy and Ralph around and have them playing live shows. There's something really magical about seeing them on stage.
So true and well said, Edved!

But turning 40 this year, I gave myself the birthday gift of watching Neil this fall in the US. If the tour doesn't experience any hickups and is getting cancelled. Always a worry since Pearl jam started cancelling shows.

Heat index of 110 expected for the show here Sunday. Fun!
I've noticed in several recent photos of Neil he is wearing a lot of layers of clothing lately. I wonder if the hot weather will appeal to him?
Those temps at a show with a large crowd can be problematic. Stay hydrated!
Hey Bri, we just had a long run of tops 70 degree high/ 60 ish at night with a lot of clouds and some sprinkles. Perfect for his multi layer flannel! (For the holiday weekend we finally getting 80 and sun!)
the upcoming heat has got to be tough for them. I’m younger and couldn’t travel to a show because of my knee. Looking at some of the recent setlist, huge bummer. Not sure how many opportunities we will get to see Neil again, so everyone who can go, GO!

Very sorry to hear about your Knee, L, especially as it prohibits travel. I hope you get some relief soon. Any plans for surgery or knee replacement?
Some kind of knee work is something I can see I may have to go through eventually, but not until I get old, lol.
Also hoping you get some of that just right weather!

doesn't bode well for Ohana sadly... but hopefully?
Bourbon & Beyond is the weekend before. I had tickets for Chicago and Winnipeg shows as well as B&B and Ohana. I just realized Springsteen is open from 9/15 to 10/31...

sigh.
Neil is out for Ohana as well… fuck. He was mostly the reason I was going 😕
Neil and The Horse was my 50th bday present from my folks; was going with my dad. Was also the kickoff to my summer concert extravaganza.
Super bummed about this. This is the second time he’s cancelled Winnipeg. First was 2005 (aneurysm-obviously not his fault) when he promised to make it up to us (he didn’t).

That would be nuts if Bruce played Ohana. But he probably needs a break too..
I think this is way worse than they are letting on
I was thinking the same thing just yesterday. It has been eerily quiet. I was so excited to see Neil and the Horse one more time come hell or high water.

This is worrying news. Hope all the guys are back healthy before too long. it's easy to forget that both Billy and Ralph are over 80, and Neil is going on 79.

In 2005 in Wpg he had to cancel his appearance at the Junos, then he came back in 2006 with CSNY, played here with a rock band (not Crazy Horse) in 2008, then did a pair of acoustic shows in 2010. Then he was here with Crazy Horse in 2012, solo in 2014 and two shows with Crazy Horse in 2019. I’d say that’s lots in the past 20 years and since the Junk cancellation which would have likely been 1-2 songs.

Just pulled into the lot in Indy last year when PJ cancelled. And then about to call an Uber tonight when I saw the news.

Dumped my May tickets thinking I had both July and Ohana tickets. Hind sight being what it is wish I would’ve kept the May tickets.

… But I was flying over from Sweden for two Neil shows
Now I guess I’m gonna eat the costs, save a lot more and skip the trip.
Cancelling 3 months ahead for health reasons doesn’t sound super. Howfully everyone in Neils camp get’s better!
