It amazes me how much the organization cares about the people there. Here in Argentina shows are almost never suspended due to weather. I've been to several concerts with pouring rain and in one of them the rain came down so hard that it even broke part of the lights in the stage. Even in the last PJ show we had here this year all the GA ground was pure mud and water because of the rain that we had the day before and it was really dangerous when all the people started jumping.
I'm really sad for the band and for the people who went to see them but at the same time I have a lot of respect for them wanting to take care of the people.
Let's hope the weather gets better and they can continue playing :(
Umiko is right: find footage in You Tube from Motley Cru show in 2008, 3 hours of massive rain, way before the show started, it wasn't cancelled, they wouldn't be able to reschedule... I ruined all my clothes that night...
Better safe than sorry... Play through rain, but not wind or lightning...
Recall the Indiana state fair Sugarland show? Wind bleew the entire lighting rig over onto the crowd....

feel kinda bad for all the folks who flew in. at the very least they're at one of the most memorable shows they'll ever go to, PJ or any other band. and they got some cool merch.
gotta give the guy credit...to stand out there in crazy heat to sell water and not drink it all...that's dedication...maybe he's a jammer who just couldn't get in and wanted to be part of the action...
I got one! I can't wait to wear it to the Portland show...and hopfully the make-up Wrigley show(s)...?
Just saw on Twitter the video board behind stage sAYS "Pearl Jam Chicago II"

I hate to be the negative one here but with such a long delay I only see two courses of action. The only one for the fans is to cancel the show, as it's hard to believe even with an extended curfew the band will be able to deliver the full show they wanted to. If they decide to go on later tonight and end up with a shortened up set it will take some amazing setlist choices to keep people from feeling like they got the short end of the stick. I hope whatever happens the fans get a good show.
Jesus I had a great time at that show. It was my first PJ show and I bought a tye dye t shirt in the lot for $5 because I was soaked through and through. Took 2 hours to get out of the parking lot and it was one of the best nights of my life!! Drove home wearing nothing but a t shirt and hoped I didn't get pulled over!
Likewise at the '95 Salt Lake Show...2nd night... Was a set of 2 shows to make up for the Wolf Mountain show that got cancelled because of f'd weather. Based on what PJ has done in the past, they will most definitely find a way to make some shows happen.
Jason Aldean soundcheck, they may have to slightly re-configure the seating arrangement, supplies (drinks, food, merch, etc) has to be re-stocked, bathrooms have to be cleaned, etc.

My ass would be at a bar right now waiting. If it starts up again, great...if not, fuck 'em.
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
I'm gonna call it a night soon, want to watch Real Time with Bill Maher, then Live at the Garden...
This has been Ed's dream for a while...
PJ Radio on SiriusXM now playing studio version of Hold On. They were doing three hours of stuff from Chicago...obviously, ran out of material?
Ed is a Cubs fan.
They are playing at Wrigley.
A storm is preventing them from performing.
THE BILLY GOAT CURSE HAS GOT PEARL JAM.
